Thanks. I'll move it up on the TBR list. Just to be sure, is it part of a series?

What Are You Reading? December 2012
Agincourt is a one-off. But Bernard Cornwell's other two novels set around the three great English victories against the French during the 100 Years War are part of the Thomas Hookton/ Grail Quest series. The Battle of Crécy takes place in Harlequin/The Archer's Tale, first of the Grail Quest books. The Battle of Poitiers features in the fourth book, 1356.

[quote=""Lady of Bennachie""]It's December! So I have just started Norah Lofts' How Far to Bethlehem?, [/quote]
Thats one of the first books I read from her, and despite being definitely not Christian, loved it to pieces. Haven't read it for a while, might be time to revisit it (in fact, might need to read the first book of hers I read, Bless This House).

I read How Far to Bethlehem at Christmas last year and loved it too- gosh, is it a year ago already?!
I started a post about it here at the time - if you have some thoughts about the book, maybe you'd like to add them to the thread, Lady B?

About 50 pages into River of Destiny by Barbara Erskine. Loving it so far. She seems to be on form!

Oh excellent, will do when I'm finished! I've barely started on it so far, the last few days have been busy enough to keep me from reading, which is unusual. Oh well, as long as I'm done before Christmas
