Did It!! With Lots Of Help

Thanks Guys, Thanks for all your help.

I don't know if I am blind as a bat. Or I did not scroll down far enough or Trish and Bethany did a little twicking.

But I want to send a big blog hug your way. Thanks for all your help, and everyone that came to the rescue to try to help me. I love the blog now.

Love Knot

Well almost finished Love Knot by Elizabeth Chadwick and I've enjoyed it immensely, immersed in the love story of Oliver and Catrin, beautifully woven with historical details.

I can't say I enjoyed the stilted style of Jean Plaidy's The Plantagenet Prelude but I have to decide whether to go on with another in Plaidy's Plantagenet series or proceed with another Elizabeth Chadwick novel... Any advice??
