Ditto, but I'm almost done. Then it's on to Tides of War by Stella Tillyard (I think that's the author's name).

Yes, it is Stella Tillyard. I read it in July. I enjoyed it - I preferred the parts set in London and Suffolk to the war bits! I thought it was beautifully written, though, but perhaps a little dry.
I'm reading Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, a contemporary thriller with magicians and vampires.

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin...and it will be a slow going for a while because school starts on Tuesday. The beginning of school is just as bad for the teachers as it is for the students.

[quote=""fljustice""]Started Pompeii by Robert Harris. Only a few pages in, but enjoying it so far![/quote]
Robert Harris' books set in ancient Rome are great. Looking forward to what you have to say about this one.
Finally got finished with God is an Englishman -- very good, and while a touch longwinded in spots, the characters are very memorable. Now reading The Complete History of Jack the Ripper by Philip Sugden.
