[quote=""Madeleine""]That's just called "The Keeper" in the UK, hope you enjoy it. I have both her books on mount tbr.

Hope you're feeling better now CW![/quote]

Much better, thank you. As soon as I tasted Misfit's Cure All today and realized I'd been drinking bark in hot water, I knew I was on the mend. However, I can't say enough for that tea's capacity to clear congestion. I'm keeping the box for my next tussle with the snot monster.

I'll let you know how I like Keeper. I should be starting it tomorrow.

I thought Natasha Mostert had written another book then! I have The Keeper on my TBR pile and loved Season of the Witch.

I'm just about to start The Small Hand by Susan Hill - my Hallowe'en read this year!

Lol, it's not the tastiest tea, is it?

I'm getting ready to start Outback by Aaron Fletcher.

I'm currently reading CW's Confessions of Catherine de Medici and enjoying it a great deal. Thanks, CW and glad you're feeling better!

What flavour tea is it, Misfit, I can't read the bottom of the pack! Sounds useful for the cold/flu season.

Madelaine, it's called cold season and has all kinds of things like ginger root, licorice root, lemon grass, and more like that. Company website here, http://www.yogiproducts.com/

Got sidetracked from Outback yesterday with a fluffy romance set during the Chicago fire and getting back to it today.

Finished Diana Gabaldon's Outlander last night (and yes, I realize I've opened the flood gate by reading this). I'm toying with the idea of reading Victoria Holt's On the Night of the Seventh Moon next.

Currently reading Graham Shelby's "Knights of the Dark Renown"....About the times of the 2ND Crusade....full of political intrigue, battles and a interesting array of historical characters who come alive.....Featuring the rogue Reynold de Chatillon(I forgot he was in a Saracen prison for 16 years; no wonder he had a nasty demeanor....

You're the lucky one. I couldn't finish it.

Misfit, if that tea clears congestion I don't care what it tastes like. I am usually snuffling all through the winter. I already have Yogi cinnamon tea and I'll look out for the cold season one next time I'm in a healthfood store.

Now 3/4 of the way through Legacy and feeling like I want to finish it up and move on to something new (which will be Les yeux jaunes des crocodiles by Katherine Pancol). I have started the review which will be five stars.

Lessee, several new books up:

Going Postal by Terry Pratchett -- my first discworld novel and I liked it.
The True Memoirs of Little K. -- a novel about the mistress of Tsar Nicholas II, and oh boy, is it a silly one.
Now bouncing between The Annotated Persausion (very good!) and Dexter is Delicious by Jeff Lindsay.
