I'll be posting my review in awhile. Clare: My only hope is to avert my eyes from the TBR mountain...only then can I pretend I'm actually on top of my reading! Yasmin: I hope your reading gets better...there is nothing I hate worse than struggling through a book. Thanks for stopping by! Seachanges: Thanks - oh, if you like Tremain, you really should read Music and Silence! Becca: Looks like we are on the same page with books :) Rob: I just finished it...it is well worth the read (especially if you like the Bookers). LH: Oh my, such hot weather! I love when I can light the fire...there is nothing so comforting as a fire crackling in the stove and a good book. Karen: I need to check out your review of Grenville's book - I finished it today! And it *has* piqued my interest in her nonfiction about how she wrote it...fascinating historical information which I admit to not knowing a lot about. Carla: They're worth checking into!

You might also enjoy the book Kate Grenville wrote about her experience of researching and writing this book called Searching For The Secret River. I really enjoyed this and found it a great insight into the process she went through. I am so glad you are enjoying The Secret River, like you I had trouble putting it down when I read it last year.

I love the smell. My parents heated our house that way when I was young and it was so nice to come in one a freezing day and heat my hands and bum standing by that stove. :) It was nearly 80 here today and I wish that it was cool enough for using a woodstove.

This one got under my radar though so I'll have to look into this one further.

Haven't read Rose Tremain's Music and Silence but I agree with you, she's a great writer. Good luck with the Read-a-Thon.
