I shouldn't have waited so long, it was such a feel good kind of book. <BR/>I've got the Morag Joss books on my TBR list.

Winspear has created some interesting characters and a glimpse into the early part of the 20th century - from WWI through the 1920's.

Also this post made me pick up The Chess Machine and start it--it is very good so far. I also have the Joss book--she seems like someone I would really like--I need to pull that book out....so many books to read....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-85647557901443568942007-07-09T12:05:00.000-05:002007-07-09T12:05:00.000-05:00Thanks to last year's RIP Challenge I have The Blu...Thanks to last year's RIP Challenge I have The Blue Castle awaiting me for this year's.
