This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,-- This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.~~William Shakespeare, Richard III

Mailbox Mondays
Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. It is a place to share books that showed up in your mailbox last week (or that you purchased or swapped, etc.). Books checked out of the library do not count.
Well, I have had to cut back on the spending as the financial situation is not great at the moment. I'm hoping to get some work soon and then I can get some more books. There are so many coming out that I want to get!
Welcome to my little kingdom! I hope you enjoy what you find here. This is my little spot to talk about book reviews, upcoming books, historical fiction, history, and probably some Austen. If you are a historical fiction or Austen author and would like for me to read and/or review your book, please email me at robinbird_79@hotmail.com.

Upcoming Book Releases that I'm Looking Forward to...
The books that follow are all set to be released within the next few months and are ones that I plan on getting my little paws on at some point! I have tried to include a link to Amazon.com (if you click on the picture) so you can look into it further if interested!
I hope things improve for you soon. Have a great week!
