I picked up my reserved copy of Life After Life by Kate Atkinson from the library today. I will probably read it next as there is a queue for it!

A nearby discount bookstore is selling Georgette Heyer books at 3 for £5 - bargain! So I picked up three that I haven't read: Regency Buck, Devil's Cub, and Cousin Kate.

Just ordered Tim Willock's Twelve Children of Paris, set around the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre, Paris, 1572. Been waiting forever for this one, the sequel to Willock's The Religion.

An advance reading copy of The Carriage House by Louisa Hall to read and review by mid June. It's a contemporary take on Persuasion by Jane Austen.

Persuasion is my favourite Austen novel. I shall keep an eye out for Louisa Hall's book.
