More freebies & ARCs:

* The Troublemaker Next Door by Marie Harte (6/14, contemporary romance)

* How To Handle a Heartbreaker by Marie Harte (8/14, contemporary romance -- brought home because the heroine's an author, then took the older ARC home, too, since it's a series)

* Still Life by Louise Penny (already published, this and the next one were sent to us because of the one after that)

* A Trick of the Light by Louise Penny

* The Long Way Home by Louise Penny (SOS 8/26/14; latest in a mystery series)

I made a book excursion to Asheville, NC and came away with The Reavers and The Book of Medieval Comic Tales.

3> You remind me I keep meaning to read George MacDonald Fraser. Probably Flashman, although The Reavers rings a bell as another title I was interested in.

I love Flashman. I've been working my way through the series. Fraser does seem to get most of the history right and when there's a deviation he can always blame it on old Flashy's dottage.

Bought a book used that I'm expecting to arrive this week: The Enlightenment in America by Henry May.

And brought an ARC home today: _Thoreau on Wolf Hill_ by B.B. Oak.

I REALLY hope they change the cover before publication. The cover feels more modern than the 1840s, thanks to a silo (maybe 25 years later) and a gambrel-roofed barn (for a house, fine, but feels wrong for a barn at this period).

I could be mistaken. I'm not an expert in vernacular architecture. But when I picked the book up off the breakroom table, I didn't expect it to be an historical mystery, even with "Thoreau" in the title.
