Looking for your next great read? Here are a few staff favourites we can’t stop thinking about:

💌 This Is How You Lose the Time War – Max Gladstone:
A trippy, mind-bending sapphic love story set against a backdrop of beautiful sci-fi insanity.

📻 All the Light We Cannot See – Anthony Doerr:
In Nazi-occupied France, a blind French girl and a young German soldier fight to hold onto the light in the darkness.

🪽 A Magical Girl Retires – Park Seolyeon:
The ultimate “disillusioned millennial” fantasy that still offers a glint of fantastical hope in a world of crushing reality.

🔥 Sunrise on the Reaping – Suzanne Collins:
Before Katniss and Peeta, there was Haymitch Abernathy — a devastating, action-packed prequel to an equally brilliant series.

🦸🏻‍♂️ Superman: Birthright – Mark Waid:
A doomed planet, desperate scientists, a kindly couple, a soaring icon; the story you think you know, retold in the best way possible.

⛈️ Wild Dark Shore – Charlotte McConaghy:
A gripping story of survival, grief, and the power of nature that asks how far you’d go to protect the people you love.

If any of these catch your eye, pop in and snap them up while they’re on the shelves!👀

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Alex used to break into houses illegally. These days, it’shis job. Alex is part of a small firm of consultants who break into offices and homes to test their security. It’s fun, it’s well paid, and he’s very good at it. It’s almost like he’s grown up at last. But when he gets fired from his firm, evicted from his flat and dumped by his girlfriend, all in the same evening, he decides to steal one last job from his company without their knowing. A job they had already decided not to accept. Big mistake. Before long, Alex is in remote northern Scotland, following the trail of an ambitious young man who supposedly fell to his death with no witnesses in sight. And if Alex doesn’t get to the truth soon, he may well be the next one over the edge...

Perfect for fans of Lessons in Chemistry, we have this gorgeous indie-exclusive edition of Jennifer Niven's Meet the Newmans in-store now.

Dinah Newman and her family have been stars of the most popular TV show in America for almost two decades. But as their 'picket-fence perfect' façade becomes harder to maintain in the midst of the swinging sixties, Dinah decides it's time to go out on a high note.

With her family under constant scrutiny, and a hotshot female journalist helping to write the last episode, will it be a grand finale? Or will it simply be curtains for all Dinah holds dear?
