A MUST read...

...if you like gothics...if you like DuMaurier...if you're interested in England during WWII.
And if you just want a very good read:
The Distant Hours by Kate Morton

This is a wonderful book - one I couldn't put down and didn't want to end. Morton writes as if she's inside the head and heart of each of her characters - it shows in the story.

I will read all of her books and can't wait for the next one.

December's books...

... several were related to the Templars:
Sanctuary by Raymond Khoury
The Grail Conspiracy by Lynn Sholes and Joe Moore
The Templar Code by C. M. Palov

I've always been fascinated by the Templars and now I'm contemplating how to relate Arthurian Legend with those Knights - shouldn't be too hard...Merlin was aging backwards. He could have been DeMolay...I think I have a kernel of a story.

Total number of books by the end of December is 38...I need to speed up a bit but winter is upon us. Great reading time. The problem is that it's also great writing time.
