So many good books -- I *adored* Reign of Madness -- I hope you enjoy it -- it was one of my top 10 for last year -- so.good!
ReplyDeleteI'm very interested in Reign of Madness - Juana really intrigues me yet I haven't really read much about her. I also need to really get to The Last Queen by C.W. Gortner.
DeleteSounds like you had a fabulous trip, I envy you!
ReplyDeleteI visited VA years ago, & I had a TShirt that said 'Virginia' in pretty red script across the chest. So then all the boys pointed and said Virgin!!!
Fun memories. :)
OMG! Leave it to young boys! It was such a fabulous vacation that I truly didn't want to come home!
DeleteGreat mailbox. I received The Queen's Vow and Reign of Madness recently, too, and can't wait to read them. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on Into the Valley of Death as it's on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I picked Valley of Death on a whim as I know virtually nothing about the Crimean War except that maybe Florence Nightingale had something to do with it. So I'm hoping to learn something!
DeleteLove all your goodies, especially the one about Jamestown. I also received The Queen's Vow for review. I'll have to hurry and read it as I'm leaving soon for....Hawaii!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJoanne that sounds like a fabulous trip! My mom and grandmother went, oh over 15 years ago now, and they had a blast. Have fun!
