This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic Books on My Fall 2023 To-Read List. Here are mine (links from the title will take you to the book description on Goodreads):
A Day of Reckoning by Matthew Harffy – ‘The third thrilling historical adventure in the A Time for Swords series by Matthew Harffy, perfect for fans of Ben Kane, Simon Scarrow and Bernard Cornwell’
The Socialite Spy by Sarah Sigal – ‘London, 1936. Socialite and journalist Lady Pamela More pens the popular ‘Agent of Influence’ column, writing wittily about fashion and high society. For her latest piece, she interviews Wallis Simpson, the newly crowned king’s American mistress. That’s when she’s approached by MI5.’
Byron and Shelley by Glenn Haybittle – ‘Beautiful, moving and humorous, the stories are set all around the globe – spinning from Kansas City, Jerusalem, London, Venice, Prague and Hamburg to Florence, Memphis, Rome, Paris and Provence’
Sanctuary Motel by Alan Orloff – ‘Mess Hopkins, proprietor of the seen-better-days Fairfax Manor Inn, never met a person in need who couldn’t use a helping hand—his helping hand.’
Wolves of Winter (Essex Dogs #2) by Dan Jones – ‘For the Dogs, the war has only just begun.’
The Murder Wheel by Tom Mead – ‘a gripping locked-room mystery for fans of Golden Age crime fiction’
The Book of Fire by Christy Lefteri – ‘Once upon a time there was a beautiful village that held a million stories of love and loss and peace and war, and it was swallowed up by a fire that blazed up to the sky.’
Held by Anne Michaels – ‘a narrative that spans four generations, moments of connection and consequence igniting and re-igniting as the century unfolds’
Run to the Western Shore by Tim Pears – ‘Set in Britain in AD 72, a tale of quest and struggle, but also an ode to the land and a love story about the reconciliation of opposites in times of need’
The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou by Eleni Kyriacou – ‘A compelling historical crime novel set in the Greek diaspora of 1950s London – that’s inspired by a true story’










I think I have a great few months of reading ahead of me… what about you?

It does look like a good few months of reading

Heavens! I’ve read none of these … But I have plenty to keep me going. Currently, Janice Pariat’s Everything the Light Touches – an intriguing read.
