Tall tales and (not) true

Last night I read Iain Lawrence's The Wreckers. Wow, that man knows how to spin a tale. Everything happens so quickly in the first few chapters, you're left rather breathless. His The Buccaneers is also very good - just as thrilling, but perhaps not quite so relentless.
Over the last few weeks, I've read a couple of terrific books by Sherryl Jordan: The Hunting of the Last Dragon, set in medieval England, and The Juniper Game, a timeslip novel moving between our time and the dark witch hunting days.
Next I'm going to start on Knight's Fee, by Rosemary Sutcliff, which I read years ago but have mostly forgotten. Can't wait.
Now you can see what I've read lately in my library, on the left hand side of this page (scroll down).
