Gotta say I enjoyed the Saxon series a lot. Finished William Dietrich's
Hadrians Wall today found it okay but not really my cup of tea. So I
started on his Scourge of God got to about page 20 and thought hold
on that names familiar. Yeah read it before. Time for something else
it's 00:40 and no work tomorrow ideal time for Henry Treece's The
Horned Helmet again. I know its a kids book but that's the benchmark
all Viking books are measured by and very few make the grade.
By 04:00 i'll have gone A-Viking and nearly be Happy ever after.

Cheers K.B

Well that was a pleasant couple of hours. Nearly 35 years and I
still enjoy that book. But now what I've a hankering for Mark
Hodder's Burton and Swinburne so The Case of the Clockwork
Man it is. Steampunk I know but Burton was such an amazing
character.
Cheers K.B

Meant to say That I measure all Viking Tales by The Horned Helmet

Hadrian's Wall was such a *meh* book for me. I just finished Shadow on the Crown. Not sure what I'll pick up next. Have to peruse the piles and see which one sings the siren song of *read me*.

Stayed up until midnight to finish The Winter Rose and of course I just had to start The Wild Rose-book three as well. I have no idea why I resisted these books for as long as I did because they are amazing.
