Back from New York and loaded down with books...

I absolutely hate long car rides but I do love that it gives me plenty of reading time. For Christmas we went to see the in-laws in NY which is a 13 hour ride each way. I managed to finish The Life of Elizabeth I by Alison Weir and Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin. Reviews on those should be coming shortly :)

While on vacation the following wishes were granted on PBS and are coming to me:

• A Catch of Consequence by Diana Norman
• The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
• Day After Night by Anita Diamant
• Dragonquest by Donita K. Paul

And of course I got books for Christmas! The results from my Barnes and Noble rampage:

• The Greatest Knight by Elizabeth Chadwick
• The Toss of a Lemon by Padma Viswanathan
• The Queen's Dollmaker by Christine Trent
• Time and Chance by Sharon Kay Penman
• The French Mistress by Susan Holloway Scott
• The Virgin's Daughter by Jeanne Westin
• We Two: Victoria and Albert: Ruler, Partners, Rivals by Gillian Gill
  

I am in dire need of more shelving space so I think that is what the rest of my Christmas money will be going for. Hope everyone else had a lovely holiday!
