TBR 4# Frenchmen’s Creek
I bought this book first hand, from Waterstones, with my Christmas book tokens, after a long conversation on Twitter after reading the nonsense that is A Discovery of Witches, about true love and it's representation in fiction. I was recommended reading this by @sianushka, who has such a similar taste in fiction to me for … Continue reading TBR 4# Frenchmen’s Creek

Guest Post – Laini’s Giant To Be Read Pile!

I'm including this book, which I bought Many Many Moons ago as part of a Penguin 'Great Loves' set that was going cheap on TheBookPeople, in my Once Upon A Time Reading Challenge. Although technically not a folktale, as Abelard and Heloise did actually exist, the story of their great forbidden love affair shaped the … Continue reading Mount TBR 2# Forbidden Fruit: From the letters of Abelard and Heloise

Mount TBR 1# The Shadow of the Moon by M.M.Kaye
So I know having my first TBR challenge post at the end of February is pretty poor showing on my part, but I have many and numerous excuses for this, mostly along the lines of a)a lot of shit went down for me in the first two months of 2012, most of it for the … Continue reading Mount TBR 1# The Shadow of the Moon by M.M.Kaye
