Book Shopping Today (2011 edition)

a stack of p-books just arrived, among them this month's choice: Catherine de Medici, Renaissance Queen of France. Already started in and enjoying it very much.
Also bought I Serve on the Kindle. I've looked at it before, but was wary as it was an indie. One last recommendation on this forum put it over the top.

I quite enjoyed The Poison Tree The suspense of reading the two time eras was great! I quite like this process in a book....as long as I don't peek at the end!

I'm finding it an intriguing and compelling read. I like dual time frame books and this one is very suspenseful - I'm dying to know what happened.... well, I know that something happened but I don't know who and why. I can hazard a guess, though.

Memoirs of Little K by Adrienne Sharp

Barnes and Noble had The Heretic's Daughterby Kathleen Kent on the Bargain Book section. As it was on my shopping list, I couldn't resist.
