[quote=""Divia""]The Raven's Bride. I'm enjoying it so far. I'm 80 pages into it.[/quote]

I was much more interested in this before learning of the whole possible plagiarism. Now I'm not too sure about it...

[quote=""Ash""]Just started The Hare with Amber Eyes: a family's century of art and loss, a history about one family's collection of Nutsake figures and their journey from 1900 to the present day. One of those books you think won't be interesting, but the author makes it so. Someone was asking about a history book looking at the 'gilded age'. At least in the first few chapters, this would be a good reference.

I quite fancy this one myself. The author was on The Book Show (UK TV programme) and it sounds fascinating.

Young Bess by Margaret Irwin (Reissue paperback edition)
I read the first 2 books in her Elizabeth trilogy in high school; my school library didn't have the final book. Can't wait to read the final novel when it's reissued!

[quote=""boswellbaxter""]Ugh! Sounds like a good one to avoid.[/quote]

Well other then that hugely glaring mistake, it's a good book so far, and I'm still going to read it. I just hope I don't come across any other major mistakes!

I've finished reading "Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France" by Leonie Frieda (429pgs, 2003). A very good and insightful book.

I think I have been wanting to read that. Perhaps the college library has it.

Are you sure about this? I can't find anything about it on the web. It would be rather ironic, as Poe himself was accused of plagiarism.

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. My first ever graphic novel!

There was a discussion about it on the March BOTM page. I haven't looked into it myself, so I can't personally confirm. But the discussion put me off.
