With #4 in the Lewis Trilogy by Peter May coming soon, I thought I'd better catch up. Peter Forbes narration of The Blackhouse is excellent (and gives me all that Gaelic pronunciation). 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My review 5 stars

I am not alone in saying that C.S. Harris never disappoints and never misses a beat in the action, history, and human stories of England in the early 1800s. Who Slays the Wicked is terrific.

The Prince and the Firebird by Krystyna Turska. Not sure why Goodreads put different author name there.My review.

Carolyn wrote: "Cherry wrote: "Finished reading The Prince and the Firebird by Krystyna Turska. Not sure why Goodreads put different au..."Thanks Carolyn, will do that now.
Hmm.. that was my first thought but probably not co-author (or even an author). The book doesn't mention Robert Angles at all and there's no trace to the existence of author/writer called Robert Angles when I look him up on Google either.
An absorbing read

If you have any impatient little 'saplings' in your life, In Time by author/artist Marina Ruiz is a lovely children's book about the value of WAITING. Very cute.
