There’s a new review up on our website! This time it’s for Wild Geese by @soulaemmanuel published by the award-winning @wearefootnote !

Oliver @chaoticbibliophile writes “Wild Geese is a novel that earns the often-overused tag of ‘profound meditation,’ and it is a lopsided love story if I ever read one. It will linger in the corners of your mind.”

New review live on the website.

Olly recommends I Could Read the Sky by Timothy O'Grady and @pyke.eye

He says, "the description of epic landscapes and the diminutive details of love are both mastered with a poetic lyricism and striking photographs that are both incredibly affecting... resulting in a mighty book that explores the details and intricacies of life in a format that exceeds the possibilities of text and photography alone."

New review up on our website! Our bookseller Oliv

New review up on our website!

Our bookseller Oliver recommends A Trans Man Walks into a Gay Bar by @harrynicholas_ : “most of the time, the book reads like a close friend recounting his triumphs and tribulations over boozy brunch. Others, crucially, it offers incisive analysis on the most pressing questions for trans people today. The result is one of the funniest, warmest, thought-provoking memoirs I’ve ever read.”

Read the full review on our blog, or come pick up your own copy this weekend! We’re open til 6pm today and 11-5 tomorrow 😊

New review up on the website!

Our bookseller Bethan writes that Exiles is Jane Harper’s “best crime thriller so far. More than a straightforward mystery, it makes us think about small town truths and lies, and about secrets and complicity. An excellent read.”
