Video: “Dan Brown Reveals the Secrets of ‘Inferno’”

Video: “Dan Brown Reveals the Secrets of ‘Inferno’” from WSJDigitalNetwork

I picked up a copy of Dan Brown‘s Inferno at the library yesterday and started reading it last night.

I’m already disappointed because Langdon has apparently split up with the woman he was involved with in the last novel. This character has real relationship problems.

Star of the Morning by Lynn Kurland

Elizabeth — Wed, 15 May 2013 20:01:09 +0000

I can’t remember when I had as much fun as I did reading Star of the Morning, the first of Lynn Kurland‘s Nine Kingdoms novels. The king is annoying, but Miach and Morgan are likeable. There is plenty of sword fighting, magery, and romance (but no sex). I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the books about Morgan and, I hope, Miach:
