Our non-fiction book of the month, This Way Up, is the funniest book on geography you'll ever read! Documenting the very best wrong maps from world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether you’re an avid map ju**ie or simply ‘map-curious’, you will uncover a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour in each chapter, as we attempt to answer the question: ‘What on earth happened here?’

Congratulations to Virginia Evans for winning the Womens Prize for Fiction for her amazing epistolary novel The Correspondent! We've loved this poignant book of letters here at Wakeystones and are beyond excited that it won!

A quietly charming novel full of soul, The Correspondent introduces readers to an utterly unforgettable protagonist - Sybil Van Antwerp, who for decades has been living her life primarily through letters, until one day a message from someone in her past turns her orderly world upside down.

Our fantasy book of the month this June is The Devils by Joe Abercrombie!

The bestselling author of the First Law series unleashes a brilliantly inventive and witty fantasy yarn, involving bloodthirsty elves, a congregation of monsters and a plot to place a thief on the throne of Troy.

Check out the lovely window display we’ve done for it!

A rediscovered classics from the 80s, The Girls is part-dark comedy, part-crime thriller, part-cosy love story, that will ensure you never look on Middle England quite so quaintly again.

Two women. One baby. And a man in the sceptic tank.

In their lovely Cotswolds village, Janet and Susan are known simply as ‘the girls’. Partners in love and work, proprietors of a picturesque shop, they lead an enviably peaceful life. But after one moment of surprising passion, the girls’ lives take a deeply unsettling turn.
