I've won a copy of Mistress of my Fate by Hallie Rubenhold. I can't remember entering a competition but obviously did do!

Ravenscliffe by Jane Sanderson, the sequel to Netherwood.

Guess where I'm going tomorrow? Plus there's a FOL sale in the same town tomorrow. It's in Michele's (A Reader's Respite) neck of the woods, and we're meeting up for some book trolling.

I just treated myself to Louise Erdrich's new one, The Round House, and Susanna Kearsley's Shadowy Horses. Of course, since Kearsley's books often go on sale from time-to-time, I'll probably kick myself for buying this too soon at the regular price. At least I'm doing part to support the author, right?

Nice haul at the charity sale today, well worth the time to trek out there and back (plus gas). I *bought* two $3 bags and have a bit of everything and too many to name them all. Got a Du Maurier I'd never heard of (The Winding Stair - Francis Bacon). A few Susan Howatch, two of which are romantic suspense. A bunch of Catherine Cookson novels, two Phyllis Whitney (one is Civil War, lovely cover) and a Victoria Holt. Bunches more that shall rename nameless, especially since a glance at the GR shelves, hardly anyone else has heard of them either. One promising HF/HR set in France during WWII and focused on the resistance movement. Whoot.

I know this is pathetic, but I also picked up an older copy of du Maurier's The Scapegoat, and glad I did. I can scan the cover, upload to GR and then donate it off. I hate nekkid books.

Scored two HNF books from my visit to the Getty Villa: The Bull of Minos by Leonard Cottrell and Mysteries of the Snake Goddess by Kenneth Lapatin.

I love Donna Leon's books - and all the descriptions of food!

Just ordered EC's "Lady of the English".

I had a meeting at a library Wednesday night and just had to pick up a few books to read.

Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor-it's the 1944 version that I can't seem to find a picture of on GR.

Jack Whyte's books-The Forest Laird about William Wallace and then the last two in his Camulod series that my grandmother never bought because they got bad reviews-The Lance Thrower and The Eagle

Manda Scott's Dreaming the Eagle. I had never heard of her, but apparently she got some pretty decent reviews from GR so I'm excited!

The I bought two books on Kindle-Kearsley's Shadowy Horses and Robert Lows Lion Wakes.
