Yeah, I am not having a lot of luck the second time around either.

Not HF, but I'm reading Decline and Fall by Evelyn Waugh for one of my book groups.
It was a book I read at school a few (!) years ago that I remember really liking so I was looking forward to re-reading it so many years later. So far, it's funny in places but not a masterpiece, I feel.

I'm about to start Dying Fall by Elly Griffiths.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller - enjoying it a lot so far, although I'm hoping not to overdose on the scent of hot skin and 'flashing heels'. The prose is very rich and sensuous. It's still on the good side of the line but might teeter if it goes further.

I ended up picking up The White Princess yesterday and finished it this morning. Die in a fire bad, and that's the writing itself.

Waiting until the library has White Princess. I'm still curious for some reason.

Turn of the Tide by Margaret Skea, set in 16th century Scotland involving a true blood feud between two noble families, the Montgomeries and the Cunninghames.

Do you think she gets some of her book sales that way? I was going to get Lady of the Rivers from the library again. It was out, so I got something else.
