Re: Perennial Subject....

When Dan Jones's The Templars comes out (on Sept. 19, aka Talk Like a
Pirate Day), anyone interested in either Templars or medieval history
should run to get it. It's out in the UK already. And if you can see him
on tour, go. He's so much fun. And in case someone here doesn't know,
there's going to be a TV series on the Templars called Knightfall. It's
going to be on the History Channel here in the U.S.--not sure about the
UK--and Jones was an adviser on it. Yes I'm a huge fangirl. I can't help
it. He's just so gosh darn nice.

The Readymade Thief by Augustus Rose is amazing and you should all read it.

I'm currently working on a book called The Silent Companions by Laura
Purcell. It's already out in the UK. I've downloaded the PDF onto my
iPad because I keep getting drawn in. It's not out here till next year
but those of you in the UK should read it if you haven't yet.

Final Girls by Riley Sager is fantastic if you like thrillers. I became
so involved in the story and trying to figure out some twists that I
didn't see what turned out to be the obvious one coming. Kudos Ms. Sager.

If you haven't read The Secret History of Twin Peaks and you like the
show, you really have to. Like now. Before the finale of season 3
tomorrow. Seriously.

And though it came out last year, My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady
Hendrix has the best cover ever in  paperback.

My reading's been slower than usual lately. I think it's cause I have
boxes of genealogy files to unpack hanging over my head.
