[Aelia Jusa]

I just finished 'Antony and Cleopatra' by Colleen McCollough. I loved the rest of her Masters of Rome series and after the last one she said she wouldn't be writing anymore since she's going blind. Fortunately she changed her mind and wrote this one. I think it will be the last in the series though. Now I'm reading 'A Hidden Life' by Adele Geras. I didn't know anything about the author or the book but I've been trying to be more broad with my reading choices in the last couple of years. I used to have trouble choosing books to buy because there are so many in the bookstore and it's hard to know what will be interesting when you only have the blurb and I am quite indecisive, so I would just buy authors I knew or read books other people had recommended. So I've read some so-so books but also some books I've loved with my new adventurous book choosing policy.
