They were: "Mary: Mrs. A. Lincoln" by Janis Cooke and "The Personal History of Rachel DuPree" by Ann Weisgarber. I'll be checking out the ones you mentioned that you liked.

My most recent favourites were "wild lavender" and silver wattle by Belinda Alexandra, and would highly recommend them if you like historical fiction. I'm definitely on the look out for anything else by her.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205271379351276007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-5396145840495660952011-02-03T19:56:29.740-06:002011-02-03T19:56:29.740-06:00I read voraciously and indiscrimately.

When I was younger, I used to limit myself to one intelligent book and then one trashy book (I call them mind-candy). But since I've gotten a little older, and work can be stressful, I read purely for pleasure and escape. I'll check out a stack of books from the library (or download them to my Nook) and if I can't get into the book I will just return it. I read every day. If I can't read during the day, I always read before going to sleep. Reading relaxes me.K2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11083972144717379173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-1523606050659355492011-02-03T18:28:28.514-06:002011-02-03T18:28:28.514-06:00That is a long list of books to have finished in t...That is a long list of books to have finished in two weeks, sounds like you are very organized! I am currently reading the second book in the "dragon tatto" series. I know you read this at Christmas. It is really good! Did I tell you we saw the movie "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" on netflicks? The movie was entertaining but of course did not have the depth of the book. Isn't that always the case?robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550331917150660121noreply@blogger.com
