I'm a little late posting my first
Armchair BEA post. Had end of school parties for my boys at school today and generally have just been very busy!
So...I've been over to the New Title Showcase listings for the BEA and I found five titles that really caught my eye. Here they are:

Ooooo cool choices! Well done :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of these titles, but a couple of them sound interesting! Especially the one about George III's wife (she had something like 15 kids, I think!)
ReplyDeleteI love the cover of Quicksilver.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even look at the New Title showcase.
ReplyDeleteThe only one of the ones that you had featured that I had heard of before was the Suzy Witten book.
Charlotte Sophia has really caught my eye, too!
