Hello everyone! I recently returned from a week long vacation to Washington DC and to see the in-laws in NY and of course I had to check out the bookstores in both of these locations. Unfortunately, I was too busy seeing the sites in DC to hit more than one bookstore there and the one I did go to was way too pricey for me. NY totally redeemed the trip for me book wise though because I discovered a fantastic UBS in the middle of nowhere and came home with a whole bunch of goodies! Also got some books from a few other sources so without further ado:
From the publisher for review:
- The Dark Enquiry (Lady Julia #5) by Deanna Raybourn
- The Maid by Kimberly Cutter
- The Linen Queen by Patricia Falvey
- Dreams of Joy by Lisa See
From Oblong Books in Millerton, NY:
- Russian Winter by Daphne Kalotay
From Rodger's Book Barn in Hillsdale, NY (this is the great find!!!):
- Ophelia by Lisa Klein
- The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
- Elizabeth and the Prince of Spain by Margaret Irwin
- The King Must Die by Mary Renault
- How Late it Was, How Late by James Kelman
- The House of Medici: It's Rise and Fall by Christopher Hibbert
- An Army of Angels by Pamela Marcantel
- Elizabeth Captive Princess by Margaret Irwin
- The Coffee Trader by David Liss
- Captive Queen by Alison Weir
Won from Goodreads First Reads Giveaways:
- The Borgia Betrayal by Sara Poole
From PBS:
- Arabella by Georgette Heyer
- The True Story of Hansel and Gretel by Louise Murphy
- The Emperor (Morland Dynasty #11) by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles
