I do love reading historical fiction, only two non-fiction, which is a pity. I really enjoyed Shakespeare: The World as a Stage, a fascinating insight into the writer. The White Queen was also good, the first in Philippa Gregory's new series. Salt and Saffron I got from a virtual bookbox, what great writing style! I resisted reading Ivanhoe for years, but in the end it flew by.
