Love the map!
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser this week! Another book for the old tbr list :) My teaser accompanies a giveaway on my blog this week.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good. I too like the map. Here is mine
ReplyDeleteSounds like part history, part swashbuckler. Hopefully a good tale. I like your use of the map too.
ReplyDeleteSince they were about to embark on a journey, I thought it would be fun to 'see' it.
ReplyDeleteNice post! I got to visit Chartes a few years ago and loved it!
