Eleanor of Acquitaine and the Four Kings is on my WL. GAH! Why wasn't it offered to me as a similar book in the system? <pout> Ooh, I'll have to check WL's from now on. That was mine. I think the system didn't offer it because I had to enter it manually. My copy didn't have an ISBN. :( |

Don't feel bad Genie. I even looked at Marci's wishlist the other day and forgot this book was on there when I posted about it. Grrr.... Sorry Marci! Maybe I can possibly make it up to you... in some way....one day...soon! |

OOOOOOH! I snagged your Autobiography of Henry VIII because I'd love to have a hardcover copy. Thanks for the heads up. Autobiography was the book that launched my current obsession with historical fiction about 10 years ago. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Good! I'm always so happy to send to someone I know will enjoy the book. You do work fast. :) I don't think it was on the shelf more than 10 seconds. |

Hooray! Thanks Genie! I have been wanting King Hereafter FOREVER! I finally have a copy on the way!! |

Cool! While I missed the Boelyn Inheirtance, now I'm one of one on the paperback. Which is the binding I prefer to read anyway. Last Edited on: 1/11/08 2:17 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

Hooray I found a copy of Eleanor and the four kings at a garage sale today!!! It's kind of beaten up but still readable. I'll note it in the forums when I finish it (it's a couple down on my TBR) in case anyone is wishing at that time. I was #3 so anyone behind me has now moved up a notch as I've taken it off my WL. |

I got a copy of The Innocent by Posie Graeme-Evans. I haven't read it, and my bookshelf needs weeding - still! It's a used copy in great condition. It's on the WL of 12 members. Does anyone here want me to post it to their WL? |
