I'm reading the Creation of Eve by Lynn Cullen. Very good so far. Also reading Queen by Right, to be ready for next month's BOM discussion. It is not the liveliest book on my shelf, but since I voted for it, I'm going to finish it.

I'll be starting Plague Child by Peter Ransley tonight, the first book in a new trilogy set during the English Civil War.

Finished Sansom's Sovereign which I enjoyed a lot, (though maybe not quite as much as Dissolution and Dark Fire).

Now I'm about half way into Amirrezvani's The Blood of Flowers. It's pretty good so far.

I loved Blood of Flowers. Hope you continue to enjoy it, Javagirl.

I'm now reading the books listed in my sig - the MHC is easy, but I'm wondering where the "Templeton" book is heading. Easy to read but not much happening so far - nearly 100 pages in.
