Still on 'When Christ and his Saints Slept' by Sharon Penman and very much enjoying it - although I found the decision by Stephen to seize Maude's crown quite sudden after his earlier doubts. Going to be on this one for a while, only 100 pages in to the book's 900...

I was intrigued by the description of The Mistress of Nothing by Kate Pullinger, one of the nominated books for February's BOTM, so thanks to Kindle, I am an instantaneous owner of the book and will start it in a few minutes.

I've finished "Black Swan Rising" by Lee Carroll (aka Carol Goodman & Lee Slonimsky) (386pgs, 2010) (1/18/11). A very good book, and I hoping maybe a sequel will be put out, as they left it open with a good reason to do another book.

Oooh bounce, I emailed the author or at least someone through her website and asked if there was going to be a follow up and I got a reply that there's one in Aug and then the 3rd in 2012. So a trilogy. Yea!

I have Black Swan Rising on my TBR pile - sounds a different sort of read!
