Mr Elaine says he's the pimp, but never mind him and what he thinks. Elaine Send a noteboard - 14/09/2009 01:37:22 PM


Firstly, my apologies, I thought I had replied to you already.

Nextly, the booksies!

I think you would like Sharon Penman very much. I have read Here Be Dragons and The Sunne in Splendour. Both are excellent, very long and you have to pay attention. Great value for money

Another I love is actually a child/young adult book, but it's wonderful. It's called A Traveller in Time by Alison Uttley.

I will update with more as I think of them

just add HF as a "topic" for new posts, but keep it on this MB. Easy enough right? *NM* imlad - 01/09/2009 06:30:25 PM 375 Views
