I know what you mean. KD looks interesting I'm hoping the library will pick it up for me.

Which book should be the December 2008 Book of the Month?
Last time I read a Sandra Worth the purple prose got to me - so not on the shortlist
I've read The Far Pavilions at least 3 times and loved it every time - could probably stand a re-read and I do have the book.
I've read When Christ and his Saints Slept one and a half times, so probably not again.
I've read Shogun
I've read Mr Timothy (reviewed it for the HNS)
So I reckon between Rob Lowe and Paul Waters.

I've never read anything by Ms. Worth. If it doesnt win BOTM then I may try to read it on my own.

I read this and I thought "Rob Lowe wrote a historical fiction book?!" and then I checked and you mean Robert Low. LOL!

[quote=""Misfit""]The reviews I've seen on her other books have been mixed so I've passed by her books. Besides after reading Sunne in Spledour most others on Richard III pale in comparison.[/quote]
I read the first book in her Richard III trilogy and Lady of the Roses (or at least most of it). Very black and white characters; no shades of gray.

I went with A Question of Guilt. My next book will be The Other Queen, so I thought it would be interesting to read another point of view. The King's Daughter initially interested me, but some of you had some negativity about Sandra Worth and I trust your opinions. The Whale Road does intrigue me and I think I will check it out. Far Pavilions would have to be a summer read for me. During the school year, I can't tackle a 900+ page book. Actually, I'm surprised that I have never read it.
