Salon posting is a little late this week because the Book God and I were away for the weekend with the Jeff Hawke Club. We stayed at West Dean College in Sussex, a fabulous place which focusses on art and conservation and offers lots of courses at all levels.
There may have been a list to the craft shop where money may have changed hands for art supplies. There was certainly a lot of rain and quite a bit of Prosecco.
But you all want to know about the books….
Books finished:
- Victorians Undone – a post will follow (also 51 down, 1 to go to meet my 2018 reading target)
Currently reading:
- Night Film
- The Cabin at the End of the World
New Books:
- The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas – a time travel murder mystery
- Lethal White by Robert Galbraith – the fourth Cormoran Strike novel
- Queen Victoria by Lucy Worsley – HMQV through her diaries
- Follow Me by Angela Clarke – all about the scariness of social media, like we need to be reminded 🙂
- Wychwood: Hallowdene by George Mann – Reporter. Local Witch. Excavation of grave. Won’t end well
- I Always Find You by John Ajvide Lindqvist – Something strange is going on in the building’s basement – and the price of entry is just a little blood.

Other stuff:
As it was so wet we curtailed our outings at the weekend, but before that we did manage to visit Butser Ancient Farm – this is a fascinating place which is a centre for experimental archaeology, demonstrating daily life in ancient Britain. It has buildings from the late Iron Age in pre-Roman times, as well as a reconstruction of a Roman villa. Here are a couple of photos.
Hope you have a great reading week.
