The India Fan by Victoria Holt (aka Jean Plaidy)
Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen
The King Must Die by Mary Renault

Marie Antoinette by Antonia Fraser
Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Enemy of God by Bernard Cornwell
The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell

Phew! To put it in perspective I had to purchase an IKEA bag to carry them home in! Anyone who has gone to IKEA knows there bags are ginormous!!! The look on my husband's face as I'm dragging the bag in was priceless!
Nice haul! I'm a big fan of "I, Claudius" and "The King Must Die".

Oh my goodness....aren't you just the little book grabber? Ha. You got Bernard Cornwell!!! Way to go! Have you read the Mists of Avalon before? I loved that book.
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories of I Claudius, The King Must Die, The Name of the Rose and Mists of Avalon. It seems like a nice haul--congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAnd how could I forget My Enemy the Queen? Lettice Knollys and QE1 face off over Robert Dudley. Antother book I remember reading a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteMichele - I haven't read Mists before, but I'm looking forward to it as I've heard it was really good.
ReplyDeleteDevaki - oohhhh, cat fight over Dudley. I got dibs on Elizabeth!
