If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it.

Picked this up from the book buffet but I'm worried about my baggage allowance.

This book is fantastic! It really was a "could not put down". It went everywhere with me in the hope that I might have time to read a little. I felt involved in everyone's life and felt their pain. However I hated William Hamleigh and kept wishing he would die. I also love architecture and the descriptions of the cathedral building were just fascinating. The heights they could build to with only wooden scaffolding and man handling! I will gladly pass this on with huge recommendations.

At this year's unconvention, I'm giving away my 50 favourite books for my 50th birthday. This was a favourite I read in 2010.

Took this book from the "50th birthday" table to populate one of the OBCZs in Birmingham.

On the shelf to the left as you go into the back room.
