In the realm of historical fiction, I re-read Sharon Kay Penman's excellent trilogy focused on Richard III and the end of the Wars of the Roses. As fond as I am of the often larger-than-life Tudors, I also have a soft spot for the much-maligned last Yorkist king.

Sharon Kay Penman, The Sunne in Splendor
Sharon Kay Penman, Falls the Shadow
Sharon Kay Penman, The Reckoning

I also read the very excellent first novel in a series about the almost legendary Genghis Khan, another of those historical figures that I find fascinating.

Conn Iggulden, Wolf of the Plains
