I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are new and some are old, some are gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

"The Venetian Ambassador commented that 'he [Oliver Cromwell] lacked nothing but the crown to appear a veritable king'. But he was not a king."

Continued this chunkster! It's good, but very dense and slow in parts - only recommended if you're REALLY interested in the English Civil War, the Commonwealth/Protectorate and the Glorious Revolution - I haven't got to 1660 yet, but there's quite a few pages listed in the index for it!

Everything except the tagged is tentative - tagged is a definite as I have the paperback on pre-order!
Just Mercy covers 'wrongly incarcerated' and The War of Don Emanuel's Nether Parts is for 'title starts with v or w'.

This is a novel about how an unexpected romantic encounter changes members of the Cousins and Keating families. It is a coming-of-age story about parent/child relationships and the bonds between siblings told in a succession of vignettes. Ann Patchett has admitted that the book is autobiographical. Although it is a mixture of satire, compassion and humor, it has great emotional depth.
Just got started on the second installment of The Chronical of the Fallers. Thoroughly enjoyed the first book.
