Trashy Novels I Have Read

While I was off on mental vacation, I did some reading.

• House of a Thousand Lanterns by Victoria Holt
• When Darkness Falls by Shannon Drake
• Minerva by Marion Chesney

I also read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which I loved. I won't spoil it for any body, but when I got to the end I had to go to the bathroom and cry like a little girl. However, I think JKR is schooling us on the Snape issue if you know what I mean.

I finished The First Elizabeth the other day and I really recommend it. It is dense and packed with information, but not difficult to read. I believe I understand Elizabeth I a lot better. She was a difficult person to know and like, but I really admire her for being a woman and keeping her kingdom together.
