By Fire, By Water by Mitchell James Kaplan
Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran
The Confessions of Catherine de Medici by CW Gortner
If Walls Could Talk: An Intimate History of the Home by Lucy Worsley.

The TV series of If Walls COuld Talk started in the UK the other day, and thanks to the wonders of the internet, I have seen the first episode which was quite good, and all about the changes to the living room (or the change from Great Hall to living room) over time.

[quote=""Vanessa""]Wow! Blummin' heck!!!! I don't know about a wheelbarrow, more like a trailer!!!! LOL. A fantastic haul. Have you got the rest of the Poldark series, Looby? It was a book of the month on here last year sometime. I love the 1970s series, too!![/quote]

Thanks everyone, I've got a few of the Poldarks Vanessa but have yet to read one - I've heard really good things about them

I've never seen the 1970s series, I should track it down sometime.

Books stick to me like flies to flypaper! Today I walked home with The World is Not Enough, by Zoe Oldenbourg, and Charlotte Bronte's Shirley, Charlotte M. Yonge's The Heir of Redclyffe, and Anne Radcliffe's The Italian.

When I see "The World is Not Enough" I think of the Bond movie and the Garbage song.

I see you're in the UK Looby - if you have Freeview TV, the Yesterday channel sometimes show the Poldark series - they showed it last year - so it might be worth keeping an eye out for it. I watched a few last year and they seemed to stick quite closely to the book, well the first one anyway as that's the only one I've read so far!

Amanda - you may know this already, but Book Depositorydoesn't charge shipping to anywhere in the world, and its prices are close to Amazon's...

Ooh thanks for the tip Madeleine, I'll keep an eye on the tv guide to see if I can spot any Poldark
