    It looks like you're in for some good reading this week!

    When you get through researching your family, will you do mine?

    I got The Landlord's Black-Eyed Daughter too!

    I am interested in Ancestry.com too. Is it a free service?

    I had a relative that was a fountain of information when it came to our family history. I loved to listen to the stories that she had to tell. Sadly she passed away recently and I worry that all of that information will be gone as well. Good luck finding more about your ancestry!

    Hmmm....I wonder how much of "The Black Eyed Daughter" will be a retelling of "The Highway Man" poem by Alfred Noyes, one of my favorite poems.

    You could spend years on Ancestry.com! Enjoy your new books and I'll be interested to see what you think of the Nesbo book. Have a great week, Staci, and happy Valentine's Day!

    You got some interesting looking books this week. Glad you liked The Weird Sisters...it's on Sparky, my Kindle...LOL

    I'd better stay away from Ancestry.com...I tend to get obsessed with online activities!

    Here's my MONDAY MEMES POST

    Genealogy can sure suck you in! The Weird Sisters is on my TBR list.

    Ancestry.com can be so addictive! Mind you, I haven't done much genealogy since I started blogging. Hope yours is going well!

    Enjoy your new books & Happy Valentine's Day!

    I really want to read Devil's Star, but I started with Redbreast and I need to read Nemesis first. You should really enjoy this one. His books are good.

    The book jacket for Darcy and Fitzwilliam is stunning!

    I tend to steer away from all spin offs from P&P... can't wait to see if this one is worth reading.

    Hope you having a wonderful week!

    ps: I have one day left in Sydney (almost two days US time)... we are starting to prepare for our journey home, which includes 19 hours in a plane.
