[John]

Thank you Darcy for the link. I guess I was not searching properly.

[Jane]

[Victor]

I finished by C.C. Humphreys
It was pretty good, especially if you want to read about the real Dracula. My review ===> https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Now i'm reading by Umberto Eco

[Carol]

I am reading Bones Never lie be Kathy Reichs as on of the penultimate Tempe Brennon books I will do. I found another similar author Aaron Elkins to try Nd I have Maitland's The Vanising Witch waiting in the wings. Also got about 6 on my kindle.

[Darcy]

Bones Never Lie
Aaron Elkins
The Vanishing Witch

[Louise]

I've gone back to basics with a quick whisk through Treasure Island. Last time I read it, I was a kid - I've been reading a lot of Stevenson this year, so I thought I'd pay this one another visit. It's such a sparkling read - lovely and pacey, but with just the right amount of description. It's lovely to reread it now I've got a better understanding of 18th century history, too - and I'm amazed how much has stayed with me through the years. I had a similar reaction to The Eagle Of The Ninth when I reread it after 30 years - I almost felt I had deja vu at times.

[Lariela]

by Susanna Clarke. It is a re-read, as I recently found my copy.

[Dawn]

I have not been reading a whole lot of HF lately. Only 3 of my last 20 actually.

I am catching up with Cato & Macro, I finished Praetorian by Simon Scarrow and I have The Blood Crows out from the library while waiting for the newest book to be processed by my library and sent to me.

I have just finished #3 in the Sister Fidelma series Suffer Little Children and the next one is winging it's way to me through ILL.

I also started a new series The Winter Queen by Boris Akunin. I really like this author, he writes very interesting stories.

[Jane]

Knight of Jerusalem: A Biographical Novel of Balian D'Ibelin

[Linda]

The Third Son: A Novel by Julie Wu.

[C.P.]

The Last Romanov. Trying to forget that I ever took a Russian history course, never mind became a specialist in the subject, lest I explode through spontaneous combustion.

It's fun, though—even if Ninotchka (the movie) is more realistic. ;-)

[Victor]

I also started

[Gretchen]

Continuing my way through the Roma Sub Roma novels with Catilina's Riddle. I just finished Arms of Nemesis and I didn't think it was as strong as some of the other Gordianus stories.

[Darcy]

I'm going to take a crack at The Long Ships: A Saga of the Viking Age

[Lariela]

Re-reading Lionheart by Sharon Kay Penman. Hope I can get King's Ransom soon.

[Gretchen]

That looks good Darcy. I added it to my list. Being part Viking (that's where the red hair comes from), I rather enjoy a good Viking story.

[Edward]

by Bernard Cornwell

Taking my time and enjoying another series by Bernard. So much fun to go on another exciting adventure by him.

[C.P.]

Having finished The Last Romanov without expiring from excessive chortling (a person born with an opal eye that fractures—are you kidding me?), I am dithering between Sight Reading, by Daphne Kalotay, and The Oracle of Stamboul. More soon.

[Bobby]

The Bully of Order: A Novel

[happy]

I finished Murder on High Holborn - decent read, but I didn't think it was her best - 3 stars

currenly reading this NON FICTION one on the Battle of Waterloo

[Jane]

Glory and the Lightning but so far not quite up to the last Taylor Caldwell I read on St. Luke.

[Histolicious]

I´m halfway throug and hm ... I love Tallis Lieberman Papers but this one ...

A little bit over the top.

So I started yesterday with and like it ... very much so far

[Linda]

The Fan Tan Players by Julian Lees. I recommend it!

[Ioana]

Reading Juliet and listening to River God, both very good.

So jealous of You. I wish there were some Cornwell books to read for me. I have read them all.

[Carlos]

Station Eleven is in my hands right now. So far so good. 40% in my Kindle.

Saving It for a rainy day

[Dawn]

I have finished:
Silk Road by Colin Falconer which was really a very good book.
Crowner's Quest by Bernard Knight A series I'm enjoying, I think the characters are getting better which is good as I believe we're at 15 books so far.

And I shall be picking up the next Sister Fidelma book The Subtle Serpent soon.

[happy]

I've really enjoyed the Crowner John series as well.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

I enjoyed the Crowner John series to start with, but after a while they all started to feel the same.

[Linda]

SILK ROAD was a group read. After reading it, Mr. Iggulden just had to learn to share my affections with Mr. Falconer. (Does he not favor a young Peter O'Toole?) Presently reading Knight of Jerusalem: A Biographical Novel of Balian D'Ibelin by Helena P. Schrader.

[Dawn]

It was a group read some 17 months ago.....I might be a little behind there!

Interesting that you compare it with Iggulden who I dislike though. I quite enjoyed Silk Road! :)

[Dawn]

I am listening to The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Looks like it shall be some very depressing distopia, I really like it so far though!

[siriusedward]

i think i will start historical fiction with by Bernard Cornwell

[siriusedward]

thats a good idea dawn..but i tend to be distracted (at times) by other books ..when i am reading one..or i tend to get too involved with one..

[Dawn]

Azincourt is a good choice. I really liked that particular Cornwell book.

I saw the film. Quite good, but depressing, yup.

[Diego]

Just finished Crichton's , and now I'll be moving forward with another book on the Simon Fonthill series. I just started #2 The Road to Kandahar

[Bobby]

I can read several books simultaneously but must be of different genres. Tried read 2 historical fictions at the same time and had Genghis Khan at war with Richard III!!

That must've made for a fun read. :D

[Simona]

I tried a new series (for me) with The Unquiet Bones and I really liked it. A nice HF medieval mystery with a sound main character.

[Linda]

Lol, Bobby

[Linda]

The Tiger Queens: The Women of Genghis KhanStephanie ThorntonFinished and reviewed KNIGHT OF JERUSALEM

[Allison]

Starting this weekend based off of several GR friend recommendations. That kid looks crrreeeepppyyy.

[Allison]

And maybe this one too because I just read a murder mystery and I like to space my genres apart. Ok and the dress is beautiful :)

[siriusedward]

is good .
a character by name of jacob..too.
