2009 books read, ratings and those highlighted link to review:
I owe a special thanks to the Phillipa Gregory forum and to Arleigh and Lucy of Plaidy's Royal Intrique, Enchanted by Josephine and Historical Fiction for turning me onto Jean Plaidy and many other wonderful historical fiction authors. Amy of Passages of the Past also has many great recommendations listed on her blog homepage, that is where I found The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly now one of my favs. Alaine from the Queen of Happy Endings sent me The Luxe which I found to be very good, and ended up reading the sequel Rumors.
I'm looking forward to reading even more in 2010.

What a great list--hope you were drinking a cup of meade while you were reading, or at least a nice cuppa! Have a lovely Christmas!
ReplyDeleteA great list indeed =)
ReplyDeleteI've read about 1/2 of those. 2010 is going to have some wonderful new releases and I think it is going to be fantastic reading year!
I've read a little over half of those I think. Great list!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a list! Erskine and Howe have been on my list for a while. I also have Katherine by Seton and every year I say I'm going to read it and I get side tracked. Have a Merry Christmas :)
