Gosh, hard to guess what that one is about!

Husband does get points for knowing what to get you! Looking forward to see what you have to say about this one.

I did sort of give him a hint, like the title, author's name, and ISBN number. Subtlety doesn't exactly reign in my house, but heck, it gets me nice books.

[quote=""Telynor""]I adore reading Mary Doria Russell -- she writes such smart, thoughtful novels that may not always end as you hope, but she has yet to disappoint me. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on Doc soon.

Bought three Alaska novels that I hope I can get to soon on Mt. TBR:
Alaska by James Michner
Williwaw by Gore Vidal
Heartbroke Bay by Lynn D'Urso[/quote]

I hadn't heard of her before, thankfully it popped up on Vine or I might have missed it.

Heartbroke Bay is very good.
