It's just a tad late, even though I had it started on Monday... Also, I've been off work sick since last Thursday, which has meant a lot of reading, some of it via Audiobook.
What I've just finished reading:
The Flood-Tide by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles - this was the American War of Independence book, and very interesting I found it. Still working on the review post, because I keep getting distracted into singing lines from "Hamilton".
Ravenscliffe, by Jane Sanderson - second of the "Netherwood" series, I really enjoyed this. They're light and relatively undemanding, but the mining elements are fascinating. Not sure what I'm going to make of the next one, Eden Falls, as I really dislike Eve's brother Silas who would seem to be featuring even more in that book.
The Taming of Marcus Cynster, by Stephanie Laurens - this one has lain fallow beside my bed, almost finished, for while now, but I got back into it rather easily this morning when I picked it up again. Niniver is a marvellous addition to the Cynster extended family, and the beginning of the book absolutely grabbed me by the throat.
What I'm reading now:
The Tangled Thread by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles - next of the Chronicles, this one focusing on the French Revolution, and the "tangled thread" that is the Annunciata-descended illegitimate line.
The Queen's Choice by Anne O'Brien - Joan of Navarre. I'm probably 75% through this one already. Really liking Anne O'Brien recently.
Marie Antoinette, by Antonia Fraser, eAudiobook via Bolinda Borrowbox - on Wednesday and, to a lesser extent, today, I had such a bad headache I couldn't read, so I went looking for an audiobook. Unfortunately this was the best that I could do, but Antoinette is in the background of my current Harrod-Eagles, and the reader is lovely to listen to.
What I'll read next:
The Emperor by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles - assuming that I haven't sickened of the series again yet
By Winter's Light, by Stephanie Laurens - a 'between-the-generations' Cynster that I've had sitting around for a while now.
