This past week I read The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom (read my review) and am a good way through The Bastard King by Jean Plaidy, my second for the Jean Plaidy 2010 Challenge and a read related to the era I am researching (late Anglo-Saxon England).
Amy from Passages to the Past made this lovely [...]

It’s been another busy week with few updates. I have an upcoming author giveaway and a book promotion post. I will be posting 2 giveaways of my own this week. The winner of Lord John and the Private Matter has not emailed me back, so I will give her a few more [...]
Sunday Salon: books lost
This week I finished The Secret of the Glass by Donna Russo Morin and Goddess of the Green Room by Jean Plaidy. I had been working on Morin’s book for a couple of weeks and had just enough free time this past week to squeeze in the Plaidy book. I was supposed to read The [...]

Reading this week has been a slow go. My little one started pulling up and standing (and reaching things she couldn’t reach before) and I’ve had to be on my feet a lot more, which means a lot less reading time. I was also sick for a few days, and the book I am reading [...]
Sunday Salon: reviews galore
I finished up 1939 Into the Dark by Paula Phelan and started (and almost finished) The Plantagenet Prelude by Jean Plaidy, which is our August read at Royal Intrigue.
I will be posting 3 reviews this week (must be a record for me) – two for the above books and one for The Greatest Knight by Elizabeth [...]

Sunday Salon
This week I have been slowly working on Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange. It’s not the book that is the problem, just life in general is not agreeing with my reading schedule. I was skeptical at first, it being a supernatural spin on Austen, but it’s actually a very engaging story. [...]

This past week I started and finished The Goldsmith’s Wife by Jean Plaidy, which was one of my scheduled reads for the Jean Plaidy Challenge. I love her version of Jane Shore; she is the perfect protagonist: moralistic and kind-hearted, though with a streak of defiance and love of adventure. You can read my review to [...]
The Sunday Salon
I’m trying to post regularly with all these memes, but since I have so many guest posts, giveaways and sporatic reviews it doesn’t seem like I can work out a good system. So here’s another one to add to the list… The Sunday Salon.
This entire week has been devoted to a rather thick novel, Forever [...]
