Kathy, didn't you get Good King Harry from me? Did you enjoy it?

I did get it from you Jennifer and I did enjoy it, although all the soul searching Henry did got a tiny bit tedious.  Overall though I thought it was quite good.  It was a refreshing change from many of the stories about just court life. The battle details were very realistic (to someone who hasn't ever been in one) without being too "male" if you know what I mean.

Michelle - I just ordered Destiny's Lady.  I had ordered it a week or so ago from half.com for a really good price but then got an  email from the seller saying the book wasn't "in the condition we thought it was".  I told them I might want it anyway, but they won't respond.  I was so aggravated!!  I was thrilled to see your post and even more so when I realized I wasn't too late!
