The Week in Books: April 28- May 4

It’s a Bank Holiday in the UK today so if you have a day off work, I hope you’re enjoying it and sorry that the nice weather didn’t last. It’s also May, which means hopefully the nice weather will come back at some point, although we’re all bound to spend the next month getting our outfits wrong as we try and predict whether we need to be dressing for heat or cold. Anyway, continued progress on some fronts on the reading, and less so on others as there’s been a lot going on in real life. But I seem to be saying that a lot at the moment, so maybe this is just normal now? What a worrying thought.

Bonus picture: the narrow alley down to Quinns bookshop – which I always expect to be higher up the hill than it is…

*next to a book book title indicates that it came from NetGalley. ** indicates it was an advance copy from a source other than NetGalley.

  1. Regency Buck is one of the first Georgette Heyer books that I ever read and still one of my favourites. As a teenager many years ago, Judith was one of my favourite heroines. I hope you enjoyed it.

    1. I love it so much. I think I re-read it couple of years. It was one of the last ones that I read when I was reading them as a teenager – and I came back to it again because we were in Brighton the other week and went to the Pavilion.
