Fulke-Greville's bio of Sir PHillip Sydney... published 1652
ReplyDeleteDigital copy, I assume? Wouldn't it be lovely to have it in a physical format though??
DeleteThose two titles are quite intriguing. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI've finished Marion Lane and really liked it. Will probably finish Futures today, as it is quite compelling so far.
DeleteI hope you enjoy Marion Lane and the Midnight Murder. I recently read it and enjoyed it. Girls with Bright Futures is on my wish list. I hope you enjoy that one too! Have a great week, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI really liked it! The steampunk-ish aspect was unexpected and I didn't hate it. I did not guess who the murderer was, so that's a plus also. I am reading Futures now and also liking it, hoping to finish it today!
DeleteGirls With Bright futures looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteI've started it last night and like it so far, hopefully will finish it today!
DeleteI enjoyed Girls With Bright Features, I hope you do too
ReplyDeleteSo far I do! I started it last night and finally put it down to go to sleep. I hope to finish it today.
DeleteA BUMPER week for me - But not to worry TOO much as they're mostly fiction:
ReplyDeleteNon-Fiction:
Napoleon in Egypt by Paul Strathern
An English Affair - Sex, Class and Power in the Age of Profumo by Richard Davenport-Hines
Fiction:
Arkhangel by James Brabazon
Q by Christina Dalcher
Lion Heart by Ben Kane
Katheryn Howard - The Tainted Queen by Alison Weir
The Lady of the Ravens by Joanna Hickson
The Animals of Lockwood Manot by Jane Healey
Spontaneous by Aaron Starmer
Kill Me Twice by Simon Booker
Nothing To Hide by James Oswald
THANK GOD! But seriously, why are you reading Weir?!?! I'd be interested in the Egypt book is Napoleon's name was not also in the title. I can not suffer that tiny, annoying little man.
DeleteI thought it was Gregory you didn't like? Weir is good (I think) and a real historian... isn't she??
DeleteYou are right, Gregory is THE WORST. Absolute rubbish. And yes, Weir is a real historian so she actually does have the background and knowledge to write historical fiction. BUT SHE HAS CEASED TO USE FOOTNOTES OR CITE HER WORK! I get a bit disgruntled when historians think they don't have to do that part anymore because they are professionals. That's all. Her scholarship is still pretty solid as far as I can tell, but I could more definitively if I HAD SOME FOOTNOTES AND CITATIONS TO COMPARE TO. (For the record, that is me yelling at her, not you.)
DeleteZero for me this week, but I am making headway with all the books I acquired last month!
ReplyDeleteFantastic news on both fronts, well done!
DeleteYes! All the good blog names are taken. I need to update my blog to wordpress and come up with a different blog name. It isn't easy.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not. Every name I tried that was witty or funny was taken. I literally slammed my hand on my desk and said, "UGH! All the book blog names are taken!" ...and here we are :)
