Finished Susan Carroll's The Dark Queen and started The Courtesan. This series is keeping my interest. The characters are not very charismatic, but the storyline could go places. We'll see what she does with the second one!

I've finished "Ancient Mysteries" by Peter James and Nick Thorpe (626pgs, 1999)*. Very interesting book.

Is that non fiction? What is it about? I am curious.

Yes, nonfiction. They look at things like the Pyramids, megalithic ruins, Vikings in America, Stonehenge, Glastonbury Tor & Abbey, hoaxs, King Arthur, Dracula, all sorts of things.

I've finished 2 books today....

"The Annals of London: A Year-by-Year Record of a Thousand Years of History" by John Richardson (395pgs, 2000)* An interesting and yet sometimes boring book. I wish they had concentrated on events that were going on then what was being built or demolished.

"The Life and Times of William I" by Maurice Ashley, Intro. by Antonia Fraser (219pgs, 1992ed, 1973orig)*. A good book, more of a primer/overview then a in-depth look at William. Loads of images, a very quick read. First book on my Kings/Queens of England Challenge.

I finished Paulette Jiles' The Color of Lightning last night, and lo and behold, when I looked for reviews today found this article about the book being adapted for film with Larry McMurtry as part of the team working on the script.
