[quote=""boswellbaxter""]When I unpack books for the county library's annual sale, I'm always amused at how many copies of that book get sorted with the biographies.[/quote]

LOL.

[quote=""Nefret""]That was a good book.

The Three Crowns by Plaidy--story of William and Mary (reissue)
Did anyone else get this novel? Glad the cover was changed!

I read it a while back, before it was reissued. I enjoyed it.

I've finished "The Sancy Blood Diamond: Power, Greed, and the Cursed History of One of the World's Most Coveted Gems" by Susan Ronald (317pgs, 2005)*. A very interesting look at the history of this diamond and all the kings, queens and famous historical figures who owned it at one point.

Pompeii, The Living City which is not a novel but an actual historical study of life in ancient Pompeii that tell of the last 25 years of life in Pompeii before Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the city. This book is one of my favs.

One of my favs. I think I will then read something by Bernard Cormwall, maybe Stonehenge or Vagabond.
