On the island of Cyprus. Kicking Isaac Komnenos' behind for daring to mess with my betrothed and my sister.

Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

Misfit, you must be reading Roselynde. I just finished that, enjoyed it very much. My first Gellis, believe it or not.
Whoops, forgot you have a copy of Lionheart. Okay, I guess that episode has been pretty well covered. It makes for good plot.

Yes, I am too. Annis, yes, these would be ARCS of the 'L' book!

Yep, it's the "L" book. And I am stuck at work for another hour and a half and then you know where I'm going...

Glad you enjoyed it, and hopefully you'll get Alinor as well. The latter books in the series kind of fall off and a bit silly in the purple prose, but still good reads.
