I haven't read your first two yet, Lorna, but I read sometime in the early 2000s because that time period interests me. Looking forward to what you pick next!

[Lorna]

Thank you, Jennifer. They have all been wonderful books, so it was easy to get through these "tomes." I am not sure what will be next but it seems there are many tomes in my library. :)

I have both London and Russia by Rutherford on my TBR bookshelf. I have not seen Rebels of Ireland before. How was it?

Thank you, Melissa. This was the sequel to The Princes of Ireland, the two books being The Dublin Saga. They were both powerful books with a lot of history from the beginnings of Ireland and throughout its tumultuous history. I loved both books.
