[quote=""Michy""]Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Braddon. The foreward says that it was originally published as a serial, so I'm expecting lots of Victorian melodrama. Which will be a fun change of pace![/quote]
That was adapted for PBS's "Mystery!" series. (Diana Rigg was host at the time) It was interesting...

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

[quote=""Margaret""]Getting started on Steven Saylor's time-sweep, Empire, the sequel to Roma. [/quote]
Margaret, can you tell me if you're reading an ARC or finished advance copy? Did SMP send it to you? Saylor's publicist at SMP offered this to me for review and I've been eagerly waiting for my copy to arrive; they told me it would be here by mid-August at the latest. I'm also going to be reviewing it for HNS, with a 9/15 deadline, so I'm starting to fret, as I turned down their ARC to read the finished copy.
