A good mail day!

 This came in the mail last week and it says it all:

In it was the books for January and February I chose to review.

I wasn't 100% sure which one I would read first, but chose "The Rose and the Thistle," which is a historical romance.  Really enjoyed it and you can read my review here.

I have just finished my second one, "Everything is Just Beginning," and will say that book surprised me, as I wasn't expecting much from it, but it turned into a real page turner.  Again, you can read my review here.

I am a fast reader, and tend to read at night after hubby has gone to bed.  So far this year I have read 7 books.  Things will slow down though with the reading once it gets warmer and the better weather arrives.  Now though, I will read as many books as I can.

Seven books already? I love that! I wish I would read that much. I could get thru my whole list lickety split.

I like a historical romance too, as long as it is grounded in reality (as it was then). Have you ever read Anya Seton's 'Katherine'? I really loved that one; it's the story of John of Gaunt's mistress who became his wife eventually and their offspring ruled England.

In fact, I believe I have it on my kindle - must re-read it at some point.

I read at night too. You and I are neck and neck on that score. I'm a bit addicted to Louise Penney's Three Pines series at the moment. I will check out your selections too.

You will laugh at this, my next post I'm writing mentions January reads too. We really are twins! ;)

Have you ever read Maureen Lee? She writes historical romance/life after WW2 novels set in Bootle, Lancs.
