Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if your library has both those series, they are in my opinion pretty enduring historical fiction classics! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-5822795982287145202010-07-22T07:00:00.807-07:002010-07-22T07:00:00.807-07:00@Ruth- Ohhhhh, okay, duh!!!

I think they also have those at my library, so I don't have to buy them.

If it's romance I'll pass. Susan May Warren, thought her latest book was silly. And the Thoene's I've heard they were boring.

The last good NEW book I read was Jack Cavanaugh's "Dear Enemy" (2005) everything else I've read since then, to me, isn't good. I do like Jack Cavanaugh as an author and especially Lynn Austin, but even one of my favorites Melody Carlson is just writing the same stuff again and again. It's just a little disappointing.seannaapprovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546047220109216505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-9805621911385733042010-07-20T05:54:16.661-07:002010-07-20T05:54:16.661-07:00This looks really good!
