Oops- must have linked to the wrong site - the one I thought I'd linked to had the same blurb as Paullina Simon's website.

I just finished the sequel to James Long's Ferney, called The Lives She Left Behind. And am debating on whether to write it up for my site (it's mainly present-day). Very much worth reading though.

Finished Pierced by Thomas Enger, the second in the Henning Juul series. I thought the first book was a little bizarre and the translation didn't sound great to me. But Pierced got me glued to the seat. Now I'm hooked on this series because the author gives you hints and bits of a second mystery linking all books.

Now reading The Water Witch by Carol Goodman

Glad to hear that! I've recently treated myself to a copy of it.

[quote=""Madeleine""]I usually prefer the historical bits too, her modern heroines can sometimes be a bit irritating! Mind you I thought that about "Labyrinth" too, the historical parts were much more interesting.[/quote]
I agree! I started reading another one of her novels right after I read two of hers and I had to put it aside.

After a couple of novels taking time out in the world of police procedural crime, I am now reading John Saturnall's Feast by Lawrence Norfolk - literary but very readable indeed. I am loving it. Amazon url here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/John-Saturnalls ... 787&sr=8-1

I finished Maggie Stiefvater's The Raven Boys last night. Fantastic read. Literary Fantasy with a giant dollop of history including a Welsh king, and raven and ley line lore.

My niece is reading To Defy a King by the above ; ) Ms. Chadwick, and she is loving it! This is the first great hist fic she's ever read. She's fifteen. I feel like I have a little apprentice.
