Another parcel arrived from Ammie this morning, hurrah! In it were 'The King's Daughter' by Christie Dickason which I've been eyeing for a while, and 'The Ring and the Crown - a History of Royal Weddings 1066 - 2011' by Alison Weir, Kate Williams, Sarah Gristwood and Tracy Borman. There's some really lovely pictures inside.

Thanks (actually that may be the wrong word) to Misfit, I bought The Virgin King by Joseph Fullam today. Will Mr. Kindle kringe? We shall see!

I also have a galley of Joan Wolf's A Reluctant Queen (biblical fiction about Esther).

Thanks is definitely the wrong word. One good thing, it is short so it's over quickly

For my Kindle:

Queen by Right by Anne Easter Smith
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan (YA)

Some of my students read the Percy Jackson series, so I figure I should read at least one of the books and perhaps more because I am a sucker for Greek mythology.

Historical Mysteries by Andrew Lang[/quote]

Is this the same Andrew Lang who wrote those fairy tale books of different colors?
