Today's meme for BBAW involves books we don't think have been given enough face time on book blogs: recently published books that have flown under the radar or forgotten classics.
My favorite book that I've read this year so far has been To the Hilt by Dick Francis, which was suggested to me by the lovely Orannia from Walkabout.
Dick Francis isn't exactly hip. I know this. But this novel was SO GOOD.
Do you like Sir Walter Scott? Novels of knights errant going to battle for their honor and the honor of their patrons? Distant ladies who are both noble and brave? Then you'll love this book, because that's basically what it is--a Camelot romance set in contemporary Britain. It's smart and detailed and compulsively readable, and I can't recommend it enough.
