CONTINUING TO LIST...

Please fix yourself. The teeny books on teen chairs are languishing coz I can’t post images! Let us agree not to derail enchantment!

Meanwhile, here’s the latest update of my Recently Relished W(h)ine List below. As ever, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects! More info on that HERE.
