Recommend Me
Looking for some new leisure books - fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, horror/thriller, comedies, romance, anything really! Only thing I'm not interested in is... historical nonfiction.

Superb Enticing
Jacqueline Carey gives us an exceptional series and is a gifted author . When one reads the Kushiels series the descriptive writing has you feeling like you are there with the characters. You see the green mountainsides and feel the dry desert heat. This is an enjoyable historical fiction book with a lot of sexuality: about a different culture. The series of books has depth and character development with a wonderful historical fiction background.

Does anyone have a favourite genre for historical fiction? I do like the elegance of the Regency, but the further back in history you go, the less is know and the more there is for an author to fill in, so medieval is quite a feature of my bookshelves. I also like a good historical mystery.

I really get on my high horse about it at times. I don’t mind if authors acknowledge it, and say that it is not quite right, but it didn’t work as a story, but I get a little upset when they try to pass it off as fact ;)

I've had things that have stopped me in my tracks before, thinking "that's not right!". A little learning is a dangerous thing :-)
