I don’t think I could get into the FAA regulations book.
Funny, The Boleyn Inheritance is on my Amazon wishlist, along with
Plain Jane: A Novel of Jane Seymour
by Laurien Gardner. The War of the Roses thru the Stuarts is my favorite period of history!
Let me know what you think of Mists of Avalon. It was OK, but my least favorite book on the Arthurian legend.

So far it’s alright, The Arthurian Legend has never really been my cuppa, but this sounded like a neat spin on it.

Middlesex is very good - I’d move it to the top of the pile if I were you.
