I am halfway through 'The Traitors Emblem' by Juan Gomez-Jurado and again half way through 'The Boleyns' by David Loades.....I am so far behind in my reading that I am trying to catch up.

Finished In an Antique Land, which will more than likely make the top list of my reads for this year. Its a travelogue, cultural history and a story all rolled up into one. Very well done.

Love her stuff! I'm in the middle of Whale Rider which I'm very much enjoying.

I'm reading two books right now. 1) Ian Mortimer's The Greatest Traitor which is very detailed, to the point that I have skimmed a few sections. 2) Karen Harper's The First Princess. An easy read that I've had on my TBR shelf for two years.

I'm reading historical mysteries No Dark Place and Poisoned Serpent by Joan Wolf. Done with the first; it's fairly good.

I read that one last year. I'm glad someone wrote about Katherine and Mary beyond Jane's death since there doesn't seem too be much about them fiction wise.

I've now also started "Anatomy of Murder" by Imogen Robertson; I really enjoyed the first book in the series "Instruments of Darkness" last year.

Halfway through Atonement and loving it. I have just finished watching the DVD. (I know its cheating but I did know the ending already). She is a better actress than people give her credit. (In my opinion)

Finished Harper's The First Princess of Wales which I thought was an easy read without any sort of factual basis.

I will start Nigel Tranter's Bruce Trilogy tonight. Excited!
