[quote=""Jack""]Just started A BLOODY FIELD BY SHREWSBURY by Edith Pargeter/Ellis Peters Anybody out there read it? It goes way back so I've got to think there are some of you out there.[/quote]

I tried a couple of times to read it, and I just couldn't get into it.

Finished Karen Maitland's The Owl Killers. I loved it; she evokes the supersticion and pagan undercurrents of medieval England so well. I'm very much looking forward to her new book.

Just started The Music of the Spheres by Elizabeth Redfern.

I've finished "Jumbo's Hide, Elvis' Ride, and the Tooth of Buddha: More Marvelous Tales of Historical Artifacts" by Harvey Rachlin (331pgs, 2000)*. An interesting book.

LOL! That made me chuckle!

I'm just about to start Speak to Our Desires by Brenda W Clough, a 'freebie' e-book I got via Librarything which I've downloaded to my Kindle.

Wish you were on Goodreads. I've been having a field day with the images and my reading updates.

An ARC of Robert Low's new medieval Scottish novel, The Lion Wakes. It's absolutely excellent! Also speed rereading The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff so I can write a review for it.

I'm not sure whether I am or not. I think I get newsletters from them.

Last night I started Deborah Harkness's A Discovery of Witches. It was sent to me for review although it doesn't appear to be set in the past at all. I may end up doing a writeup on my blog instead.

I have that one to read - I received it via BookHugger to review. It's a chunky one, isn't it!
