About half way through The Purple Shroud by Stella Duffy. I really liked her first book, Theodora, and am enjoying this one as well.

Very much enjoying Elizabeth Loupas' Flower Reader- an engaging heroine who is strong without being anachronistically feisty, plenty of tension and suspense and an intriguing angle in the floromancy. Excellent!

I'm looking forward to reading "The Flower Reader", I love the idea of floramancy!

I've almost finished "Sleep, Pale Sister", and plan to read "Tom All-alone's" (still with the Victorians) next.

Love it!!

[quote=""Lady of Bennachie""]I never did get around to finishing SKP's Welsh trilogy for some reason, and visiting the town of Montfort l'Amaury last month reminded me to add The Reckoning to my to-read list.

I don't know why I waited so long, I'm really enjoying it (which is no surprise)! I guess I just wasn't in the mood for that particular time/place for a while.[/quote]

The Reckoning is difficult to get through because it's so emotional and sad but oh so good!

Both of her books have been favorites of mine!

Reading "A Spell of Winter" by Helen Dunmore. Reading it for my non-HF book group, but it is in fact set around WWI.
So far, don't really like it, but it's promised to get more interesting... as unfortunately I read a bit of a spoiler.

I am enjoying it also. I've been getting some extra reading done because I still don't have school due to Hurricane Sandy. Too many people (and schools) do not have power where I teach. We will have to make up all the days lost.

Voice of the Falconer by David Blixt (follow up to The Master of Verona). Really liking it so far.
