  1. Sounds good. I wanted to be an archaeologist when I was younger. I must be on a "dark" kick this week. My teasers are from Dark Companion by Marta Acosta and Darkness All Around by Doug Magee. Happy reading!

  11. I read her War of the Roses series and loved it! Very strong female characters, and her words created vivid pictures in my mind. Didn't know she had a new release. Thanks Harvee.

  12. Has all the makings of a great novel: romance, Vikings, an island and 800s.
    My major is anthropology/archaeology. I loved my visit to Scotland. I even went to visit the Loch Ness Monster but Nessie did not show that day.

  13. I have requested from my library and had to go through MNLINK and found it in two libraries in Minnesota so far. MNLINK lets me request any book from a Minnesota library.
