Given that 3 from my list for quarter 2 are still to be released, I considered halving the number of Q3 Great Anticipations. When I looked at my notebook, I decided against that. Take a deep breathe: Jul-Sept 2020 is packed with many, many good things to look forward to … provided release dates don’t shift again, of course.
5 of the above are by authors I’m more than happy to return to. The 6th (The Revolt by Clare Dupont-Monod) centres around the ever fascinating Eleanor of Aquitaine and will join an expanding pile of books for my Age of the Plantagenets reading project. (Which I will start sometime soon.)
There are exciting developments on the German literature front this quarter too. V&Q Books (an imprint dedicated to bringing more literature from Germany to the UK) are launching their first 3 titles in September. What a bountiful late summer this will be!
Lizzy's Literary Life (Volume One) 
I must say those V&Q books sound good….
Do you like Kate Grenville? I saw this new one in a bookshop yesterday. Lush cover. I really enjoyed her book the Idea of Perfection.
I’ll be interested to see what you think of the new Kate Granville. I really enjoyed the first 80% but wasn’t so certain about the way she ties it up at the end.
V&Q have kindly sent me an ebook of Paula which I am looking forward to.
I can’t wait for the third Dabos!
