I'll certainly try reading Nancy Mitford.
Just now I'm starting on Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky. It's the first two books of what was to be a 5-part series of novels, but the author never finished them because she died in a concentration camp during WW2.
It was written in the early 1940s but didn't come to light until the 1990s, when the author's daughter was finally able to look into her deceased mother's papers.

With the Aussie dollar so strong at the moment and all the online booksellers having 20% off sales I have suddenly found myself with a huge pile of books to read.
Most of them are catchups to the books by Robert B Parker who seems to still be turning out books on a regular basis. Some I have read before but they lose nothing with a re-read.
I am moving house in a few months and have got rid of about half of my books and invested in an e-reader, which I love but the choice, although getting better, is still limited.

The strong Aussie dollar is a boon for readers. I use booko.com.au to compare and gain the best price.
