Then you will want to vote for me for Queen of the World because my first move will be to ban January altogether. I intend to replace January with two Aprils or two Mays. I'm still pondering that decision.

There is nothing good to be said for January.

Apologies. I hit Post before I intended. I did actually have a question and I plead Newbie Ignorance.

In answering "What are you reading?" do the books being read have to be historical fiction or anything we're reading?

Anything you are reading. Well, I hope so, because that's what I've been doing!

As I was born in January, I disagree with the above statement.

Wallbanged "The Darling Strumpet" by Gillian Bagwell about Nell Gwynn. I couldn't get into it, and the sex was a bit more gratuitous then I like, I don't mind sex, but not this kind.

The reviews for this one are all over the board. I'm waiting for the library to get a copy so I'll reserve judgment.

I've read two other novels about Nelly and neither needed that much sex to tell a good story!

Finished "The Secret History of the Pink Carnation". It was pretty good and I enjoyed it though not as much as a lot of other HF reads which have a little more depth to them. I'm borderline on whether to go on with the series.

Now reading "A Candle in the Darkness" by Lynn Austin. Good so far.
