I was in France in 1939, but I'm now in Yorkshire in 1986. I shall be going back in time to the 1940s soon, I think - I'm training to be a famous ballerina in Hester's Story by Adele Geras.

I am in 17th century India. I have to say that so far the events described make all those European royals look very tame!

What are you reading?!!!

I am watching and worrying about my mentor and master Cardinal Wolsely's downfall at the Tudor court, but I am very canny and I am learning a lot.

Tiger Claws by John Speed. I can't tell you how many people have died so far, and I know that there is at least one scene later in the book where 10 people die at one go.

Yep...pretty much. Although the ordinary folk seem to be quite dispensible in this world.
