October really is a stellar month for new books. I’ve never known such a fab lot of titles published in the same month/months. When I say books I actually mean paperbacks, some of these books have already been published in hardback but I always wait for the paperback version if I possibly can. I’m most … Read moreBooks coming out in Oct/Nov
What a fabulous book this is, I enjoyed every page and I’m so hoping that it will be the first in a duology or even trilogy? Fingers crossed! Synopsis Ever since Cass almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she doesn’t like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that separates the … Read moreCity of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab
Yep, it happened. More books!!!!! Another fairly mixed selection and I seem to be drawn to books with Winter in the title lately too. Have you read any of these?

This card was sent to a Miss Coles, c/o Mrs Buxton in Surrey. I love the part of the … Read morePostcards of Edward VII 1901 – 1910
I was kindly sent an Autumn/Winter catalogue by Europa Editions to look through and I chose this book, mainly for its fascinating synopsis but also its very striking cover. So a huge thank you to Europa for sending me a copy of this and for enabling me to discover a new favourite author. This book … Read moreStrike Your Heart by Amelie Nothomb
Up to now I have been collecting Edwardian postcards based on a message on the reverse of the card, I don’t trust the authenticity of a card unless it has been clearly postmarked plus I love reading the message and maybe doing some research on the people mentioned. I am not much bothered by the … Read moreRoyal families
Hey guys, two posts in one day, i’m spoiling you! Just had to share my books which just arrived. Yes, I’m getting into Manga.
