I am a huge fan of Gillian Bradshaw's novels, I have read and enjoyed all of them, so I had London in Chains on my list already.<br /><br />I have Jewel of Medina here but have not gotten to it yet. The reviews I have read were all over the place, not all positive. I'm hoping to get a copy of the sequel, it will be interesting to see how long the line is.<br /><br />Iceland really catches my interest, too. <br /><br />Just finished packing (ugh), good luck with yours!

I will probably read it given that I enjoyed <I>Widow of the South</I> so much.<br /><br />You're right, Ms I, it was an eyebrow-raising comment for me too.

I thought it would be a female narrative. Its not so I'll pass. <br /><br />Ice Land has made a BOLD statement. I dunno if anything can live up to Mists.YA Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147401205365756126noreply@blogger.com
