Tietoja minustaI'm a property agent in the UK, living in the English countryside. Passionate about historical fiction as you will see from my reading list and always on the look out for new books. Recommendations are always gratefully received! A useful resource for over historical fiction books is http://www.historicalnovels.info, just thought I'd mention it, courtesy of a LibraryThing member. Friend requests welcome.

I expect to read around 75 fiction books this year, plus a handful of non-fiction titles.

Tietoja kirjastostaniPrefer novels of Ancient Rome, Greece, late Iron Age Britain, Crusades and I'm gradually building my knowledge of the facts and myths surrounding the heroes of ancient times.

Looks like we share many of the same interests in books. I have about half my library logged in, it became tedious, but I am working on it, especially as I read a book.

Dorian,

Thanks for accepting it. I have been browsing your library on the sly for a while so thought I'd say hi.

Cheers for the suggestion re the festival, sounds very interesting. I was back in the UK at Christmas (we're over here in Australia on a 4 year secondment with my employer) so not sure when we'll be back again but I'll keep it in mind.

Regards, John

Thanks again Dorian - I have a copy of The Boat of Fate - picked up at a book fair - $10 for a shopping bag full of books. :)

So much to read.

Madly trying to decide what to read after I finish my current book - a "The City of Heavenly Tranquility" a history of Bejing as China's capital

Cheers

Thank Dor,

I have all three of Leckie's, I think I enjoyed Hannibal the most. I see from your additions that there is another Forgotten Legion book. I have the first two but haven't read any of them yet.

Cheers

Thanks for linking to my library. It looks like we have some similar interests. I'm going to send you a friend request. Best Regards, LM

Thanks for finding my collection interesting. I might well dive into Leckie's Carthage as my next book based on your rating there

Cheers
