[quote=""Lady of Bennachie""]I've decided to give Barbara Erskine another chance, so I'm reading River of Destiny since from what I've heard I know it's going to be a good read.[/quote]

I'm about 2/3rds of the way through this and enjoying it - it's fairly standard Erskine but not a bad read, and quite atmospheric; a bit of a comfort read I'd say. I'm finding the Viking storyline the least interesting; the other two are good though.

Hope you like it!

Started on a writing challenge, so have suspended my HF reading for a while. Going to sleep with Thoreau's Walden and Civil Disobedience and traveling with Team of Rivals. Will be dusting off some of my research books and rereading in March.

[quote=""Misfit""]I knew about the *cough* alternative history going in (and I didn't make it that far), it was the writing and characterization of Simon-Sue that done me in.[/quote]

I bought the entire series of the Montfort books on Kindle but haven't read them yet. I thought they were novels on his life and not 'alternate history' hmmmm and what is 'Simon-Sue' mean? Sorry but I'm now puzzled by it all.
