900 A.D. A time of turmoil. A kingdom in dispute. An unlikely hero...[/quote]
That went to my wishlist hehe and it reminded me that I wanted books 2 and 3 of the Bone Pedlar so I ordered:
The Pendragon Banner and The Gleemaiden by Sylvian Hamilton.

Book Shopping Today (2012 Edition)
[quote=""LoobyG""]Yes I'm lucky enough to have 'Black Madonna' as well Misfit, I picked it up at a library sale last year but didn't want to read it before I had any of the others and knew whereabouts I was lol! I read the blurb of 'The Marigold Chain' SGM and couldn't see where it fitted in with Riley's others, so it's good to know it's in the restoration. Thanks for letting me know which order I should start in. I also picked up 'Stranger in Savannah' by Eugenia Price today from a charity shop, I think it's the last title in a quartet which I'm sure Misfit you've mentioned before - you're terrible for my TBR pile!

Recently purchased... The Fall of Atlantis by Marion Z Bradley
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

You're going to like Timeline. It really changed the way that I looked at medieval warfare (actually, medieval life in general). You should also check out Eaters of the Dead/The 13th Warrior and The Great Train Robbery-- both by Michael Crichton.

I must stop reading the posts here! I keep finding things I need. I have an agreement with my husband. He doesn't complain about my book purchases, and I don't say anything about his athletic shoe purchases! 
Warriors of the Dragon gold
Odo's Hanging
Helen's Daughter
Pied Piper
Memoirs of Cleopatra
Through a Glass Darkly
I also was trying to remember a book I read many years ago about the discovery of Troy and thought I'd have to buy a copy, but fortunately, I found it in a box: The Greek Treasure, by Irving Stone
