Is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. All you have to do is answer these questions ….

What are you currently reading?

I am really excited about reading this one because I really enjoyed Kate Morton’s more recent book, The Forgotten Garden (my best book of 2010).

History, mystery and family secrets are the best ingredients for great fiction!

Just started today but I know I’m going to enjoy this. I’ve just realized this: the title of the book rhymes with the author’s last name =)

What did you recently finish reading?

Another great story that revolves around a true historical event in Paris.

It's about a girl whose life was forever altered following the Vel’ d’Hiv roundup in 1942 Paris.

Read my review at the previous post.

What do you think you’ll read next?

This is a tough question considering that I have quite a list in my TBRs. I take a lot of consideration when choosing what to read next.

Since the last two reads was historical fiction, I might be compelled to choose something from a different genre, hence Agatha Christie cozy detective story.

But I can be quite fickle-minded, let’s just deal with it when the time comes, shall we?

This is the third novel in Jeffrey Archer's compelling saga, the Clifton Chronicles.

1945. The vote in the House of Lords as to who should inherit the Barrington family fortune has ended in a tie. The Lord Chancellor's deciding vote will cast a long shadow on the lives of Harry Clifton and Giles Barrington. Harry returns to America to promote his latest novel, while his beloved Emma goes in search of the little girl who was found abandoned in her father's office on the night he was killed. When the General Election is called, Giles Barrington has to defend his seat in the House of Commons and is horrified to discover who the Conservatives select to stand against him.

But it is Sebastian Clifton, Harry and Emma's son, who ultimately influences his uncle's fate. In 1957, Sebastian wins a scholarship to Cambridge, and a new generation of the Clifton family march onto the page. After Sebastian is expelled from school, he unwittingly becomes caught up in an international art fraud involving a Rodin statue that is worth far more than the sum it raises at auction.

Does he become a millionaire? Does he go to Cambridge? Is his life in danger? Best Kept Secret will answer all these questions, but once again, pose so many more.
