DNF 'The Duchess of Windsor' by Diana Mosley, I don't know if it was Mosley's style or that I wasn't really in the mood for it - I found the style very stilted and it didn't flow easily enough for me to continue reading. Picked up 'Surviving Tenko - the story of Margot Turner' by Penny Starns from the Imperial War Museum on Friday and devoured that in a day, so am now on 'Twenties Girl' by Sophie Kinsella for a bit of light reading

DNF "New York" by Edward Rutherford. I usually love Rutherford's books, but the characters in this one were so flat, and the narrative such a dull info dump, that I gave up almost halfway through.

Mary Sharatt's The Daughter's of Witching Hill. Really good so far.

Finally finished Nigel Tranter's Bruce Trilogy!

I seem to recall doing some serious sniveling at the end of that.

DNF The Rose Legacy (CF set in Colorado Rockies). Going to try Roanoke Hundred by Englis Fletcher.

A lot of DNF going on around here, isn't there?

It's really rare that I don't finish a book.

Sniveling as in crying at a sad ending.

Well most stories regarding witches don't end well, do they?

Oops, I was talking about sniveling at the end of The Bruce Trilogy.
