In fairness I do know people who liked it. One of my sisters was determined to finish it, I must ask her. Anyway I was sorry to have wasted money!! You are so right, there are too many books to read something that might drive you silly. I have just put an order in to the library for Wolfskin - has to come from another library, but that's okay as it is all a free service! Was tempted to buy but am trying to use library rather than spend where possible. In saying that I did hesitate because I like to buy and support authors too. Thanks for the recommendation, I have a feeling I will love this. What's not to love about Vikings!!Kathryn Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964951326616144323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168132027607016845.post-40370958536004461722015-02-05T21:50:14.261+13:002015-02-05T21:50:14.261+13:00I haven't read The Luminaries but it was on my...I haven't read The Luminaries but it was on my wishlist and then it got such mixed reviews it fell off my radar lol and it's a chunkster isn't it?... probably be skipping it, since there aren't enough hours in the day.

Nalini Singh, Eleanor Catton are the first that spring to my mind. Love Juliet Marillier too, we do claim her as Aussie as well lol<br /><br />Have a great week and happy reading!
