It (almost) made me wish I had a terrace garden in NYC.

And, Devil's Brood--I will have to look that one up. <br />I am in whole-hearted agreement that Ranulf is also my favorite character. All through When Christ and the Saints Slept, I lived in terror of his being impaled by some ungodly instrument of medieval warfare, and now, here I am again, fearing the same.

Next up for me is Devil's Brood, which I want to read this year. I didn't do it last year, and I don't want to wait too long. They are chunksters, but worth every minute! My favorite character is Ranulf :)JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.com
