The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

Lacy (lacy_stewart) I have been wanting to read this book for awhile. I guess this is the push that I needed.

So how does this work? Do we read it and post on this thread when we are finished or do we talk about it as we go?

Either way. I like it when people post as they read, but most just wait until they're done.

I liked this one. It's more historical fiction than paranormal though so it's going to have a different focus.

Carrie (Care) (care76) | 1746 comments I have had this for years and couldn't get into it. Maybe I will try again. If I get time. The book I am reading now is huge and I don't read as much as I used to.

It's the historical search for Dracula, so it got the researcher in me. :)

Lacy (lacy_stewart) I am reading this and it was a little bit slow at first, although enjoyable. Now I am forcing myself to stop reading it so that I can get stuff done! I'm on page 298. Is anyone else reading this?

I read it when it first came out. It's one of the books that got me interested in the supernatural actually.

Lacy (lacy_stewart) I'm really enjoying it.

Lacy (lacy_stewart) Okay, I finished the book. It was great and I really enjoyed it. I loved the research and history. I loved how immersed into the settings I felt. By the end of the book the visuals in my mind were vivid. I plan to read more of this author.

Has anyone read The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova ?

I think I've read about 50 pages. I need to read it. I was really excited when it came out, but I was so caught up on the paranormal (since it was all new to me) at the time that I pushed it aside one too many times and forgot I had it. Hopefully I'll get to it soon.

Lacy (lacy_stewart) Thanks, Heather!

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 2770 comments I got the audio of this one as I knew I probably wouldn't be able to read it and it didn't go any better for me in a different format. I ended up only listening to the first disc (out of 22!). It was just too boring for me to keep going.
