Loved The Borgia Bride and very much enjoyed The Dark Rose. I am currently working my way through the Morlands series. Must look at the next one soon.

I read Wild Swans years and years ago, and have very fond memories of it.

Enjoy your loot.

Great looking stack there! I have a copy of Wild Swans, but haven't read it yet, so I will be interested in hearing what you think. .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Home by Marilynne Robinson - 336 pgs =-.

I enjoyed Borgia Bride. The Borgis were pretty much one crazy, power hungry family. What a trip! Made me want to read up on poor Lucrezia Borgia also. Nice loot. .-= jennygirl´s last blog ..Sunday Reflections (Nov. 8) =-.

I read A Brave New World when I was a teen and loved it... I would be curious to see how I would enjoy it now. Hopefully you will enjoy it : I'll be curious to hear your thougths on it! .-= Kay´s last blog ..Surprise! A new look for Christmas! =-.

I really enjoyed My Invented Country. And I just recently acquired The Tale of Murasaki via Bookmooch - I hope we both enjoy it! .-= Nymeth´s last blog ..Strong Poison by Dorothy L. Sayers =-.

I did! I checked out a time-travel novel called The Little Book that takes place in 19th-century Vienna; The Devil's Company by David Liss, which takes place in 18th-century London; Zadayi Red by Caleb Fox, which is based on American Indian legends; and The Strain by Guillermo del Toro and that other guy. .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..The Laurentine Spy =-.

You've never read Brave New World before? You're in for a treat! It's one of my favorite classic dystopias, although it's definitely dated. .-= Amanda´s last blog ..Book Review: Living Dead in Dallas By Charlaine Harris (series, #2) =-.

Save The Borgia Bride for when you're ready for historicals again. It's *really* good, and it would be a bummer if you came at it at the wrong time. Lezlie .-= Lezlie´s last blog ..Fans Of Ancient Egyptian Historical Fiction, Listen Up! =-.
