[quote=""MLE""]Let me know what you think of this one. Once at a rare Mary I period renaissance faire they got me in noble garb to play Elizabeth 'Geraldine' Fitzgerald-Browne (before she married Edward Clinton). But when I scanned the novel, there didn't seem to be any mention of her first marriage to Anthony Browne; and my guild portrays the Browne family in all its various incarnations. Altho since reading her bio I think I was a little old for the role, even if I was playing the stepmother of my daughter's character.

Anyway, if it's a good read, I should get more familiar with the lady in case I ever have to play her again.[/quote]

I'll be more than happy to let you know how I liked the book. But....I'm not exactly sure when I'll get to it. If I read books in the order I buy them, I'm possibly looking at 2013 or beyond!!!

[quote=""Misfit""]LoobyG has read some of them, I've read the first of them (enjoyed it a lot). I had planned on continuing on, but then the library's copy of Yankee Stranger was lost by the previous borrower so I'd have to go interlibrary. Got side tracked with other books and never did get there.[/quote]

Thanks, Misfit. They just sounded kind of neat. I'll let you know how I get on with Tryst, once it arrives.

I really really dont need more books. With a steady reading rate of +100 books per year I already have enough for a few years. But still... only one in stock... this book sounds interesting... this one is cheap.... wonder if/when I'll ever get to read them.

Humans by Robert J Sawyer
The September Queen by Gillian Bagwell
People Who Walk in Darkness by Stuart M. Kaminsky
A Whisper to the Living by Stuart M. Kaminsky

I would love to buy this for Harm (and read it myself) but the price is too high right now
