Re: What are you reading August 2018
I've just finished the wonderful The Peacock Summer by Hannah Richell, dual timeframe set in the present day and the 1950s, about a decaying old manor house full of secrets.
Ive just started Summer of Secrets by Nikola Scott, another dual timeframe, this one set in the present day and just before WWII. It’s a book I have to review which will be published on 6 September.

- Preferred HF: I like a series the best - more to look forward to after one book ends. Masters of Rome, The Century Trilogy, & the Outlander series are some of my favorites.

Finally finished listening to London - it's a LONG book. I really liked how he ended it.red805 wrote:Listening to London by James Rutherfurd. Not as good as his Paris or Sarum I don't think, but boy, he must have done a lot of research

I’ve just started via the Pigeonhole app Daisy Belle by Caitlin Davies. It’s a story inspired by and in tribute to Victorian champion women swimmers of the world. It’s off to a great start!
