Blogging break

I'm actually offline this week and there are only so many posts that I can schedule, not doing much reading at the moment... Life stuff got in the way of reading so I need to take a break. I have some more serious life stuff coming up soon too, but of the kind where I'll be obliged to get lots of rest so books will be making a comeback then! See you in a week or two!

Historical Fiction

I didn't participate in the last Weekly Geeks on historical fiction, but I've been going through the posts of those who did and had so many books to add to my list that I decided to put them in a separate post. Much more fun this way.

The First Man in Rome by Colleen McCullough (Ancient Rome, via Maree)
A Woman's Place by Lynn Austin (WWII, via Becky)
Ten Cents a Dance by Christine Fletcher (WWII, via Becky)
The Rest Falls Away by Colleen Gleason (Regencyy, via Chris)
I, Claudius by Robert Graves (Ancient Rome, via Coversgirl)
Imperium by Robert Harris (Ancient Rome, via Coversgirl)
Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters (Medieval, via Robin)

What an Animal! Challenge Completed

I didn't think I would manage to complete Kristi's challenge, but I did. Only because she's so flexible with her definition of 'animal' though! :-)

My original post is here and what I read is below:

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
Aesop's Fables by Aesop
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
Pawing through the past by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown

OK, so one of these is about vampires and one is about an insect, but I think that's ok! :-) My favorite of these was Winnie-the-pooh, closely followed by Twilight and Kafka on the Shore. I enjoyed the others too, just not as much.

Thanks Kristi, for hosting. This was fun!
