Hello, I'm new to this thread but I thought it looked very interesting. I love reading esp historical books, and at the moment am nearing the end (on my Kindle!) of a life of Peter The Great. It's over 800 pages, and has been quite a read!!! Fascinating though, what an extraordinary man he was, so far ahead of his time, born into such violent age!! After this I have a book about U.Boats in the 2nd WW. Not too sure about this one, but will give it a try!!!! |

I have just finished Marshmallows for Breakfast by Dorothy Koomson. I do like her books and this was just as good a read as all the rest. :-D |

Just read "The Last Foundling" by Tom H Mackenzie. This is a true story of a girl who became a single mother in1939 and, due to her circumstances, gave her son up to the Foundling Hospital and he became one of the last group of foundlings admitted. It's the story of his life there and of his mother who always hoped to get him back. I knew a bit about the Hospital and have been on a guided tour of the Foundling Hospital Museum so It was an interesting read, but I didn't find it as moving as I expected. |

I read the first Chronicles of St Mary's book after you mentioned it Det and enjoyed it, so I went on to book two. I'm just about to download book 3 in the series. I'll be looking out for the new one when it comes out at the end of July but I generally wait until the Kindle price comes below £2 if I can. |
