I am reading Janine Barchas: Matters of Fact in Jane Austen.
Amazing how people can find new takes on JA…the blog below has an excellent review.

I'm reading Captain J. Kincaid's "Adventures in the Rifle Brigade, in the peninsula, France, and the Netherlands From 1809 to 1815." It's free on Kindle, but this is the link to the paperback:

Ben Aaronovitch has a fantastic fantasy/urban crime series set in modern-day London. The most recent (2012) book was Whispers Under Ground. The chapters are all titled after Tube stations.
I'm reading The Heretic's Wife by Brenda Rickman Vantrease and it is definitely a big Thumbs Up. A great novel set in the Tudor era when Henry VIII is trying to divorce Katherine, and Thomas More is persecuting the protestants that he calls heretics. The heretic referred to in he title is John Frith, a Bible translator who worked with Wm. Tyndale. Love this book.
Being technology challenged I don't know how to leave a link. I do well to read blogs on Google Reader and add titles to my Wish List.
Still hoping for a chance to win your giveaway.
In the interest of fairness, I'm reading Collateral Damage, another Stone Barrington novel from Stuart Woods. I've read the last three one after the other over the past week. Some tales are klunkier than others, but I'm still compelled to read them as they are published.

Right now I am reading two different books, The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton and Marling Hall by Angela Thirkell. Two books about the same time, WWII but they could not be more different. I'm liking Marling Hall.
