AKA Showcase Sunday
I think I’ve managed to receive the thickest and thinnest books of the year in one week! Shooting Victoria may double as a weapon but it sounds like a fascinating history book on the men who tried to kill Queen Victoria. Among Others is incredibly pretty and has won a bunch of prizes. And within that slim volume, the construction of a new motorway causes a man to crack in The A26.
Shooting Victoria by Paul Thomas Murphy (Head of Zeus)

Happy Reading!
My Sunday Edition @ Paulette’s Papers
Great books!
Among Others I read a while ago and enjoyed it a lot. Will Grayson (x2) is a book I also want to read.
Have a good time with these nice new books.
Among Others is supposed to be excellent, can't wait to see what you think of it.
Shooting Victoria sounds like a great idea and it looks so pretty as well. I may just have to stalk it for a while…
The A26 sounds interesting too, but I'll wait until I see your review 🙂
Among Others sounds great! And the cover is just gorgeous – I saw it on the publisher's website a few weeks ago. Adore!
