The Sixth Faction is a Divergent reimagining, following the same main character Beatrice, but as she chooses a different path for herself…

Roberta cannot wait to read this one, Divergent was one of her favourite series growing up, so she is excited to see how Roth plays out this reimagining of her own series!

Our Children's Book of the Month for October is a suitably spooky choice from one of our favourite children's authors, Rob Biddulph.

Rachael and the Mini Bookseller are reading it at the moment. Rachael says -

"Featuring his unmistakably beautiful illustrations throughout and pacy, bitesize chapters that make this super readable and perfect for squeezing in 'just one more chapter', this is a gripping adventure full of mystery, rumours, secrets...and werewolves! We're loving it."

Our Sci-Fi and Fantasy Book of the Month for October features the long awaited paperback release of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Cafe Manager Claire is a HUGE fan of this series. She says:

"This book (and the rest of the series) is laugh out loud funny.

The premise is bizarre but hilarious - Aliens destroy all manmade structures and the people inside, the remaining humans must head into an 18 floor dungeon and complete tasks (video game style) to survive, whilst the galaxy watches on like it’s a game show.

Despite this sounding absurd, the characters are great you see the many relationships grow and develop and it can make you feel aswell as giggle."

Our YA Book of the Month for October is the fantastic Traumaland. Winner of the YA Book Prize, Traumaland is on Rachael's to read pile and Roberta has already finished and loved it -

"One of my absolute favourite YA books. Traumaland is a dark, almost dystopian thriller following a young man on the search to feel again after a near fatal car crash. He enters a club called Traumaland…

An insane book which blew me away!" Roberta.

Our first Non Fiction Book of the Month for October is Craftland.

Shortlisted for our Book of the Year in hardback last year, this is a tour of Britain via its traditional crafts and the master craftspeople still working with their hands in an increasingly technological world.

Perfect for fans of Robert Macfarlane, this is a richly written exploration of the connections and expression almost-forgotten crafts and trades can bring, and the skill with which they are lovingly, and often pain-stakingly, carried out.

Introducing our Fiction Book of the Month for October, The Wax Child.

Roberta says - "Based on a true story of Danish witches in the 1600s, The Wax Child follows the story of women accused of witchcraft. All told from the point of view of a Wax doll created by one of the women, this is one of the most unique books I have ever had the pleasure of reading!"
