Book Giveaway - Ends June 16th

It's time for another giveaway here at The Cottage Bookshelf!  I would first like to thank Liz at Doubleday for making this wonderful offer possible.

Two luck winners will receive a copy of Prochecy by S.J. Parris.  This historical thriller is sure make a great summer read!





PRODUCT DETAILS: (from the Publisher)

S. J. Parris returns with the next Giordano Bruno mystery, set inside Queen Elizabeth’s palace and steeped in period atmospherics and the strange workings of the occult.

It is the year of the Great Conjunction, when the two most powerful planets, Jupiter and Saturn, align—an astrologi­cal phenomenon that occurs once every thousand years and heralds the death of one age and the dawn of another. The streets of London are abuzz with predictions of horrific events to come, possibly even the death of Queen Elizabeth.

When several of the queen’s maids of honor are found dead, rumors of black magic abound. Elizabeth calls upon her personal astrologer, John Dee, and Giordano Bruno to solve the crimes. While Dee turns to a mysterious medium claiming knowledge of the murders, Bruno fears that some­thing far more sinister is at work. But even as the climate of fear at the palace intensifies, the queen refuses to believe that the killer could be someone within her own court.

Bruno must play a dangerous game: can he allow the plot to progress far enough to give the queen the proof she needs without putting her, England, or his own life in danger?

In this utterly gripping and gorgeously written novel, S. J. Parris has proven herself the new master of the historical thriller.

  18. A new follower here, saw you in the Zibbet Community. I love to read, but often can't pick a good book, so go long whiles between reading. I even re-read a book I really liked sometimes so I don't have to try to pick a new one.

    I will post on my blog, because I think everyone should read a good book once in a while.

    probably will post tomorrow, it's late now and tired. Thanks for this opportunity. :)
