Its true, NGCECOAWT, so the BESH move on.

Join us in spooky October, for a different sort of Pagen fun. Sod the lentil weaving and organic bean bags, we're channelling pointy black hats, green tinged foundation and probably a bit of Harry Potter.

Join us for cursing of the insta-diffs, moments of pure love and the horrors of the cam of the fanjo - post the Beshtionnaire and the coven will judge you.

I've cloned him. Enough to go round.

I read some fabulous shit once where an early medieval maid was enjoying Christmas celebrations which included not only a tree with candles and paper chains, but also a rousing chorus of "Deck The Halls With Boughs Of Holly."

I totally love history but it doesn't half prompt some crappy novels. The worst one I have read was called Lady of the Roses about Sir John Neville's wife Isabelle. It was so shit I can't begin to describe its shitness.

Er, blonde - I think you'll find I chucked Mr Cumberbatch into the Pit sometime ago and stamped his forehead "Reserved For Frankel"

I like Philippa Gregory, though I've only read a few of her books.

In the same vein, Alison Weir is very good. She's a proper historian with several published non-fiction books, but decided to try out a bit of historical fiction. I've only read one of her books, Innocent Traitor (about Lady Jane Grey) but it is very good.

ThisWitchSinks · 01/10/2012 17:59

But I am going to read the 3rd when it comes out! Jethro- if your friends a slow reader, want mine?

ThisWitchSinks · 01/10/2012 17:57

Ignore that. Xpost. Tis a good book though. Second ones rubbish though. Bit like a cross between twilight, 50 shades and a history book.

Northey · 01/10/2012 17:55

I have discovered P Greg about ten years after everyone else (which is great, because I can feed my addiction in charity shops). I quite like her stuff. It's all historical, told through the eyes of a female character, generally.

Don't know how "good" it's considered, but I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen reading it on the bus.

What's te other witchy one like? Worth looking out for?

Northey · 01/10/2012 17:51

Nope, it appears to be called "A Wise Woman."

When do the bodices get ripped, is what I want to know?

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 01/10/2012 17:51

Oooh, I'm going to get it. I could do with some good reads.

What do the BESH think of Philippa Gregory in general?

JethroTull · 01/10/2012 17:50

Sinky I've read that book - thought it was great. Am waiting for my friend to finish the second one now.

ThisWitchSinks · 01/10/2012 17:48

Is it "A Discovery of Witches"?

blonderthanred · 01/10/2012 17:20

Northey · 01/10/2012 16:53

I've only just started it and can't remember the title, but it's a Philippa Gregory one. A young nun has just fled her convent and been taken in by the local wise woman. I think she's going to end up married to the local wicked Lord or something. And be a secret witch.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 01/10/2012 16:42

Some random allergen. Will ask the GP if she thinks I could do with an epipen. I don't want to to be miles from anywhere and it happen again.

Slightly less awful thank you. MrA has not mentioned Christmas again as I think he is scared I need him to sort it all out (though why on earth shouldn't he?)

What's your witch novel?

Northey · 01/10/2012 16:36

What has caused it? It sounds horrid

Are you feeling any less awful about Christmas and cold houses and shit?

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 01/10/2012 16:20

Terrible thanks! I want to scratch them out, but I don't think that would be useful in the long run. Doc's tomorrow to demand she does something.

Northey · 01/10/2012 16:01

As soon as either work says I need to, or I can persuade them I do!

What did the other bitch do?

And how are your eyes, piraticalwitch?

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 01/10/2012 15:51

(Bugger's friend obv)

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 01/10/2012 15:50

I'm doing ok. Have left work early, absolutely shattered and full of headache. Going home for soup and a novel about a witch! What excellent timing.

Northey · 01/10/2012 15:39

What a stupid cow!

Excellent fred start, sinks. Has the peacock feather cabbage hat skirt thing finally been retired?

Soup, anyone?
