I'm reading "What girls learn", can't remember the author right now. It's pretty sad though, so for comic relief I'm reading bits of "Tell me lies" by Jennifer Crusie. Fun Fun romance novels. I can recommend her. Het characters are always real and flawed women, so normal women. Love it.

I am starting book #4 of Sara Donati's, Fire Along The Sky. So far so good. However, I have been disappointed in the direction these books have taken in the fact that they seem to focus more on Hannah than my beloved Elizabeth and Nathaniel. Although I do love learning more about the Mohawk and such. Also starting the book called "Desire Lines" by David R Ross. Has anyone read his books? It's about Scottish history and culture as he perceives it.

I have started on the first book of Penman's Welsh trilogy, "Here Be Dragons". It's settled in the thirtennth century dealing with Wales during the time of the English King John... It's the story of Llewelyn, Prince of North Wales, who was dreaming of uniting Wales.
I really love the book; I have only be reading a quarter of it yet but I can tell already that it's one of the best historical novels I have ever read!
