Wow! "Burning Sky" by Lori Benton

Yes, I know the title could be a bit more creative than "Wow!", but that is exactly the thought that came to mind when I started the book, and when I finished it. Wow!  Are we sure this is a debut novel? Wow! Incredibly well researched. Wow! The characters will walk across your heart and mind in ways you never expected.

An incredibly heartbreaking tale of love gained and lost, and of resiliency in the face of unimaginable pain.  I salute you, Lori Benton! And then I humbly request that you write me another book to read ASAP.

The Pirate Queen by Patricia Hickman

"The Pirate Queen" takes your hand and pulls you in before you ever know what happened.  The characters are so real that you'll wish you could give a few of them a piece of your mind.  From the philandering husband to the mother who organizes the pantry alphabetically, you're bound to find one of your own relatives in the mix.  I loved it!  Can't wait to go buy some more of Patricia Hickman's books!
