Redcoats I've fancied it but I think it is a little expensive the last time I looked! That's why I asked you!

£3.49 on iBooks!!
 
 
Don't know how I managed that!,
 

Looks good Nosher, I'll let you know what I think of the sample....
 
I have been re-reading some classics a lot of which are free - Wuthering Heights, Northanger Abbey, Dracula, Frankenstein, a bit of Oscar Wilde, Charles Dickens that I didn't really get into when I was younger but quite enjoying them now. If you check out the daily deal 99p books, they usually have "look inside" marker which lets you read the first chaper or part of it, you can also ask for a sample to be sent then if you don't like it you can delete it or buy it if it's ok.

I quite like a series of books called The Hangmans' Daughter I think there are 3 or 4 set in 16th century Germany.
 
PS I also read the Book Theif, but didn't like it much. There didn't seem to be much of a story and was a bit repetative.
 
I loved The Book Thief.

I really enjoy historical fiction, and I also like fantasy, so when I found a book (I think on a Kindle deal) which combined the two I bought it - Faerie - It turned out to be a historical fantasy ROMANCE - sooo not my thing! Far to much sex for my liking and pretend medieval speak. It was not even worth the 99p I'd splashed out.

Cheapie Kindle books can be hit and miss, but you do come across some gems in the self-published sectors at times.
 
If you like historical themed drama, have you read Jodi Taylor's' St Mary's series. I thought they were brill!
 
I'll look them up.

Edit - and have now downloaded Bk1.
 
Sorry didn't know you had replied!



Enjoy!
 
Alex Cross series from James patterson
 
And for proper holiday reading and not thinking to hard, are the babylon books. Beach babylon and hospital babylon, I've read them about 4 times. Airport babylon is hilarious but I haven't got that on kindle, I'll download the others ready for this year's hols. Also the Dan Brown books couldn't leave them alone.
 
Loving this book, thanks for recommending it.
Jodie has now brought out a short story called Roman Holiday involving Dr Markham and her next St Mary's novel called A Trail Through Time is due in a month. Can't wait!

Have downloaded and read within 2 days. Excellent and highly recommended series of books. Should be a TV series! Brilliant!
