Two of our bestsellers this summer are from Kristin Hannah.

On Mystic Lake is an emotional, moving and poignant story about love, loss and beginning again.

Summer Island is a poignant, warm and tender novel about a mother and daughter: the complex ties that bind them, the past that separates them, and the healing that comes with forgiveness.

Which one have you read?

Fresh reads, exciting discoveries, and a new staff favourite. 📚✨

Our Books of the Month are here, featuring everything from pulse-racing mysteries to literary classics, but Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil has completely stolen bookseller Kerry's heart. Dark and beautifully written, V.E Scwab's latest paperback is impossible to ignore.

🌙 Tell us which one is going straight onto your TBR? ✨
