Thanks for starting this one, EMR! I was too busy dancing around my mental Maypole.

Can't believe it's already May! I'm still reading The Forever Queen by Helen Hollick.

Currntly reading Worlds Apart by William V Crockett. I'd seen this around but made the mistake of taking a book by its cover and thought it looked like a cheesy historical romance. I decided to give it a go when someone else recommended it, and am enjoying it. Set in the reign of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius (builder of the Antonine Wall in Scotland), it's the story of the clash between two very different cultures - Rome and the Celts of southern Scotland- and how it affects particular people from both sides of the divide.

Just started The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. I'm enjoying it.

Halfway through Daughters of the Grail by Elizabeth Chadwick (all about the persecution of the Cathars) Amazing how a father and son (Simon De Montfort) can be perceived so differently

Isn't it though? Here's an interesting website for info and books on the Cathars, http://cathar.info/

I'm reading an ARC of Juliet Grey's second novel on Marie Antoinette for review for the HNS. Enjoying it so far.
