That's one of my favorites. I'm working on Wind River by Gary McCarty. Wyoming/Utah based story, female leads despite the manly man cover mine has.

Had my first DNF Bill Fawcett's nonfiction "Doomed to Repeat", when he wrote that Alexander II of Russia was assassinated during a parade while he was on a horse I had to wall bang it (it already had a few things that rubbed me wrong history wise).

The Light Between Oceans, by M L Stedman, which has been long-listed for the 2013 Women's Prize for Fiction (formerly known as the Orange Prize). Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies is the hot contender to win.

A Feast For Crows. Since I lost my Kindle in the burglarly and am still waiting for the insurance settlement, I am reading the novel hardcover version I have. This involves abusing the pages with a 2lb weight so that they stay open so's I can read it while I eat my lunch!

Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'
