Mailbox Monday


Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page.

I got all kinds of historical fiction I've been coveting for awhile this week!

I went to Barnes & Noble for some "me" time after a particularly stressful day with the boy and got:


  • The Secret Confessions of Anne Shakespeare by Arliss Ryan
  • Cathedral of the Sea by Ildefonso Falcones


On Thursday evening I stopped at a FOL sale and on Saturday I took boy to the library and browsed the stuff they had for sale. Between the two I got:

  • The Queen's Man by Sharon Kay Penman
  • To Dance with Kings by Rosalind Laker
  • The Queen's Lady by Barbara Kyle
  • Lucrezia Borgia by Sarah Bradford
  • The Memoirs of Helen of Troy by Amanda Elyot
  • Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran
  • Lady of the Sea (Isolde Bk 3) by Rosalind Miles

From Paperbackswap I got:

  • Dragonknight by Donita K. Paul

and finally won from the awesome blog Historical Tapestry:
  • To Defy a King by Elizabeth Chadwick


I have no idea what to read first! Hope everyone else had a mailbox stuffed full of great reads this week.

    I want to read Cathedral by the Sea but it doesn't seem to be out here, or at least not in the library system, so I may have to buy it.

    Cleopatra's Daughter and To Defy a King are both really, really good! ;-)

    I loved To Dance With Kings, but it is on the romancey side. I've heard mixed opinions on the Barbara Kyle book.

    Cleopatra's Daughter is on my wish list as I loved Michelle's other two books! I wouldn't know which book to start with either! Enjoy them all!
