Thanks for adding BannedBooksLibrary to your Interesting Libraries. Happy Reading!
Neat, thanks. I'll have to see if the tours sell their books online.
Hi Elena,

I saw your mention of "Ghosts of Ottawa" and am always interested in mentions of the city. My Mum was born and raised there, and I spent many wonderful summers in Ottawa and at Blue Sea Lake, just south of Maniwaki. I wonder if I'd know the sites mentioned in the book, and I wish I'd had a chance to take a tour when I still summered north of the border.
Hi Elena,
yes, I'm from Tolkien List! There are also Jeremy Marshall and Ted Smith here
Same here. I don't need anymore books at the moment, but I got several gift cards for Christmas, so what can you do? Off to the bookstore I go.

Not sure if you read historical fiction much, but I know Bernard Cornwell has a new book out called Agincourt (or Azincourt, depending on if its the UK or US version). I plan to pick it up soon. I've enjoyed several of his novels.

I have the same habit. I do have the Francis and Joseph Gies books, and I enjoyed those as well. I haven't read the other one you mentioned, By Sword and Fire. What all does it cover?

Always nice to find others interested in medieval history. I found your profile through the Medieval Europe group. Any particular book you would recommend? What's your favorite non-fiction book on medieval history? I'm always looking for new books to add to my library. Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation, it looks like a good group. I just joined up.
Hello! I admire your collection as well. I am just getting around to finishing up my online catalogue. Hopefully I'll have more time to spend in the groups here or doing reviews. I am an avid reader of history, science, science fiction and some fantasy (though I have a hard time getting past Middle-earth). Happy New Year!!
