I am pleased to say I have finally finished reading Gareth Russell's wonderful book about Catherine Howard, Young and Damned and Fair. It took me about a month to read, which is a long time for me, but it was so worth it. I am now planning a blog post about it in conjunction with Josephine Wilkinson's book on Catherine that I finished in January. They are two very different books about the same woman and I think it will be really interesting to do a bit of a contrast and compare.
I also have two other books to review that I have read this year: The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson, and Labyrinths by Catrine Clay, which is a biography of Emma Jung, wife of Carl. These were two of the most interesting books that I have read recently, and reviews of them will soon be up!
Another review that will soon be up - it's currently in drafts! - is See What I Have Done by Sarah Schmidt. This book has been creating rather a lot of buzz, and is out in early May.
As for books I am about to read, there are far too many of course, but these are the ones I am most looking forward to:
Gone: A Girl, A Violin, A Life Unstrung by Min Kym
All the Good Things by Clare Fisher
Leopard at the Door by Jennifer McVeigh
The Witchfinder's Sister by Beth Underdown
By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept by Elizabeth Smart
A Broken Mirror by Mercè Rodoreda
The Lost City of Z by David Grann
These are books that I actually have copies of, so they are all I am going to include for now (the first four were kindly sent to me by Penguin, and the last three were purchases). There are way more on my GoodReads TBR that I am desperate to read, but until I actually have copies of them it feels too immaterial (literally) to commit to saying I will read them soon!
So there you have it - these are the books you can look forward to hearing about here on the blog and on my Twitter feed.
