Went to the thrift store today. Nice big haul for just over $10, including but not limited to The Spider King by Lawrence Schoonver, Theirs Was the Kingdom by RF Delderfeld, The Girl from Storyville by Frank Yerby (I hear this is a dark 'un), and Secret for a Nightingale by Victoria Holt. Plus thispost civil war book from the 1950s. Lots more eye-candy cover historical romances.

Oh, "The Girl from Storyville" brings back memories. My parents forbade me from reading it and hid it away in the house (my father loved Frank Yerby) but I eventually found it. It was my first introduction to graphic sex in a novel. It's quite the lusty tale, as I recall.

I got a copy of "Remarkable Creatures" by Tracy Chevalier the other day, and I wanted to know if it's considered historical fiction or just a novel, any one?

I'd call it historical fiction, although Mary Anning actually existed and was a fossil hunter, finding, amongst other things, the first two plesiosaur skeletons ever found.

Just ordered "Solstice at Stonewylde" by Kit Berry.
