Re: What are you reading in May 2018?
I'm reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman and I'm listening to The Tatooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris (narrated by the lovely Richard Armitage - I'm quite liking him chatting in my ear as I'm walking the dog! ).

Re: What are you reading in May 2018?
I've just started The Outcasts of Time by Ian Mortimer, a bit of time travel beginning in plague ridden 1348 and travelling 99 years forward at a time about 5 times, I think.. Sounds like Dr Who!

I’m now also reading The Hourglass by Liz Heron via the Pigeonhole app. It’s set in the present day and 18thC onwards. It’s an immortality tale set in Venice, my favourite city.
