Here are my best books of the year:
To Defy a King by Elizabeth Chadwick: To nobody's surprise here, Elizabeth Chadwick has become a favorite author of mine just within the last 2 years. For years, my colleagues here at H.T. had been telling me that I had to read her books and I finally listened. To Defy a King was published here in North America in March 2011.
Here is the link to my review. It will be posted here on H.T. soon.
Lady of the English by Elizabeth Chadwick: Honest, these are my top two books of 2011!
Here is the link to my review. It will be posted here on H.T. soon.
