Oddball

If I dont have a book with me, I get antsy. We all see people standing in line playing with their iphones or kindles or kobos - well I am the oddball standing there doing it old school, reading a real-made-with-paper book.

Hello to everyone! I like to read medieval history, any good historical fiction, asian/indian fiction, and a good old fashioned mystery.

Some of my favourite authors are Pearl S. Buck, Alison Weir, Alexander McCall Smith, Tarquin Hall, Mo Hayder, Lawerence Hill... sheesh I could go on and on so I better stop here. :whistling:
 
Welcome!

Welcome to the forum.:)
What have you read from Weir and Lawrence Hill?

I want Weir's Eleanor of Aquitaine: By the Wrath of God, Queen of England,
The Six wives of Henry the VIII.

If you like historical fiction try The Greatest Knight and The Scarlet Lion by Elizabeth Chadwick.
 
And watch out for Libra. She'll toss members out of here faster than James Patterson tosses manuscripts to his publisher.

Dont worry I took away her scissors so the new guys wont run into the same misfortune as yourself.
 
Thanks everyone!
From Weir I read Children of England, Lady Elisabeth and the one about Lady Jane Grey but dont remember the title...
Book of Negroes from Lawerence Hill. I read The Island Beneath the Sea right after and it fit very well together as it was a European perspective on the slave trade during the same time period.
