The Masque of the Black Tulip: A Novel 32 reviews Lauren Willig
Dutton Adult, 2005
Romance, mystery, action, comedy, history - what more could a girl want?
+ She does it again!!
The Masque of the Black Tulip (and the first book in the series - The Secret History of the Pink Carnation) are both exactly the type of book I enjoy reading - something with romance, comedy, action and mystery. Nothing too heavy, mushy or dramatic. The historical setting in these books makes ...

Katherine 257 reviews Anya Seton
Chicago Review Press, 2004
Katherine is a multi-read through the years
+ Interesting but sometimes annoying + one of the first, and still one of the best!
Read it first in high school English (1968) and still re-read it. Excellent Historical Fiction which will probably snag you on Anya Seton's writing.
I recommend The Winthrop Woman as well. And Theodesia.

Harvest Books, 2004
Best Book I've read in a LONG time
+ Loved it!
I absolutely loved this book. I abandoned all of my responsibilities for two days so that I could read The Time Traveler's wife without stopping. I have now recommended it to everyone I know. It's a little confusing in the beginning, but a good confusing, because the author makes you want to ...

The Illuminator 54 reviews Brenda Rickman Vantrease, 2005
Wonderful first novel, a mix of tragic romance and history
+ Original Subject + B+
I enjoyed THE ILLUMINATOR and I will definitely pick up the author's second book. It's an historical novel told mostly (but not entirely) from a woman's viewpoint. There's romance (not explicit) and familial relationships as well.
The setting involves the late 1300s when John of Gaunt ruled for ...
