Default Re: What U Reading

I have just finished the latest CJ Sansom 'Revelation' absolutely brilliant as were the previous ones, 'Dissolution', 'Dark Fire' and 'Sovereign'. I finished it last night so now I am experiencing that, 'wish it went on longer' feeling. I don't know what I will read tonight. I love reading books, I love starting a new book, I hate getting to the end.

I always have two books on the go, my evening/bed book and my during the day sitting on trains or waiting in places read.

I don't tend to read biography (or autos) but I have been enjoying Elizabeth's Spy Master by Robert Hutchinson (about Walsingham) as my day book.

My recommendations would be the Boudica 'Dreaming' series (Dreaming the Hound, Dreaming the Bull etc) by Manda Scott. Absolutely excellent set of books. Atmospheric, brilliant in depth characters and the whole history thing with Boudica and the Romans etc. Start with 'Dreaming the Eagle'.

Next I'd recommend the 'Roman' series by Collen McCullogh again an excellent set of books.

Anyone interested in history will love these books.
