[quote=""Misfit""]Calais by Kathleen Winsor[/quote]
Oh that was one I was thinking of starting soon - read it years ago but don't remember much. How far are you into it? You read so fast I guess you'll be finished too soon for a buddy read.

I'm about 200 or so pages but I can put it aside for something else (it isn't killing me to know what happens next) until you are ready. I'd love to buddy read it and discuss.

Super! Thanks so much. I'm half way through For the King (loving it) but should be finished in the next day or so and can start Calais right after that.

Nearly done with Count of Monte Cristo. And Dracula is up next.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

I've finished "The Confessions of Catherine de Medici" by C.W. Gortner (397pgs, 2010). Another great book by Gortner, very compelling!

Getting started on Steven Saylor's time-sweep, Empire, the sequel to Roma. I'm not a huge time-sweep fan, but I like Saylor's mysteries a lot, which makes me want to read these. I liked the second half of Roma better than the first, because it gets more politically juicy as the city gets bigger and more sophisticated, so I'm hoping to enjoy Empire more overall.

Excellent. I would actually like to have a reading partner on this one.

Still reading the NF about the Dudleys by Derek Wilson, which has picked up pace considerably since I've started the section on Robert, but it's still dragging a bit--although Wilson does have an interesting theory on why Elizabeth flirted so openly with him.
Have also started Mathematics of Love by Emma Darwin. Heard a lot of mixed reports about this one, but so far, I'm liking it
