@Paula, I have The Luminaries and Landline waiting to be read. I’m buying Station Eleven as part of my Christmas books for myself. I’m considering Revival. @Paula, I’m looking at You, too (Hehehe, that sounds funny). I’ll have check out The Barefoot Queen, Lorrea, as I’m not familiar with that.

Here’s a synopsis: Spain, 1748. Caridad is a recently freed Cuban slave wandering the streets of Seville. Her master is dead and she has nowhere to go. When, by chance, she meets Milagros Carmona—a spellbinding, rebellious gypsy—the two women become inseparable. Caridad is swept into an exotic fringe society full of romance and art, passion and dancing.

But their way of life changes instantly when gypsies are declared outlaws by royal mandate and their world as a free people becomes perilous. The community is split up—some are imprisoned, some forced into hiding, all fearing for their lives. After a dangerous separation, Caridad and Milagros are reunited and join in the gypsies’ struggle for sovereignty against the widespread oppression. It’s a treacherous battle that cannot, and will not, be easily won.

From the bustle of Seville to the theatres of Madrid, The Barefoot Queen is an unforgettable historical fresco filled with characters that live, suffer, and fight for the lives of those they love, and for the freedom they can’t live without.

same here @Kathy, I have a habit of picking out any good book any more i’m just addicted to getting books and reading them no matter how far behind I am on any other series. My mom has made me get rid of more but I always tend to get more no matter the issue plus I still take care of my daughter.
