I was caught between that one and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. I chose the second one. I've only read the first two chapters, but at least it is not a long read. Then I will start Jodi Picoult, but I also have Tracy Chevaliers new one 'The Last Runaway'...that'll probably stay on my TBR list for a bit.

I am reading Neal Stephenson's `Reamde'. It may not be all that historical, but it is still a damn good read.

Taking a break from historicals at the moment and reading Me Before You by Jojo Moyes and really like it so far. It's not my usual kind of fiction, but I have a feeling I'll want to read more by this author. I think only two or three of her books are available here in the states, though (at least as Kindles), and they are on the pricey side for ebooks. This story is totally worth it, though, based on what I've read so far (roughly half).

I'm not reading HF at the moment, either (although Treason is still my bedtime book). Bookgroup is coming up, and they chose Ender's Game (because it's coming out as a movie soon.) I have never read it, and it's quite engaging. No wonder it has lasted so long.

Wonderful, wonderful book. One of my top reads of last year. I really liked The Girl You Left Behind too.

Wallace Breem's The Eagle in the Snow. Enjoying it even put my
usual nit-picking on hold. Of course as I'm bald I mean the book.
