And while we are on the subject of getting out and about with books … This month’s
Literary Festival highlights offer you big names in small places at the Chipping Norton Literary Festival (23-26 April), a literary lock-in on the Hebridean isle of Colonsay (25-26 April) and an eclectic mix of authors including 4 dames in the bard’s historic home town of Stratford-upon-Avon (25 April-3 May).

This month a favourite is one for fans of Mark Billingham. By Luke Delaney, it’s called
The Jackdaw and is part of his DI Sean Corrigan series. It’s a dark, psychological, crime novel that one of our Reader Reviewers, Angie Rhodes, said was the most exciting thriller she had read for a long time…
Look out for the dazzling adaptation of Susanna Clarke’s incredible, inventive, gripping
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell as it hits our TV screens in a hugely anticipated 7 part BBC series later this year. Join the in-fighting among a group of 19
th Century magicians (yes, magicians) as they face Napoleon’s advancing army. Weird, wonderful and well worth a read!
And take a gentle yet fascinating stroll back into another era, into the memories of Gertrude Bell, a woman so far ahead of her time she would still be considered remarkable today! Her book
Tales from the Queen of the Desert has been turned into a film staring Nicole Kidman.
Such a strong longlist this year we thought we would share a few of our favourites.
That’s March at Lovereading. See you next month with more great ideas, hints and a helpful hand to find the next book you’ll love reading.
Happy Love … reading
