Book of the Year 2024🌸🌼🩵

Mongrel by Hanako Footman is my Book of the Year. A beautiful, tender story about three women, queer identity, family and heritage. I had the pleasure of meeting Hanako at Cheltenham Literature Festival and it was lovely to speak to her!
The cover of Mongrel by Hanako Footman; three Asian women’s faces broken up with red, blue lines of art. A yellow square border surrounds them.

FAITHBREAKER by Hannah Kaner coming March 2025. Thanks @harpercollins.bsky.social for a proof copy!
The proof cover of FAITHBREAKER by Hannah Kaner balanced on a ladder in front of a bookshelf. The cover has a rabbit with stag horns and wings rearing on the front, stood on a fallen log in front of the moon. It is coloured with purples, oranges and yellows.

100 pages of this novel left. I love Area X (is that weird to say? probably. but it’s true)
A poster of the cover of ABSOLUTION by Jeff VanderMeer. It is an uncanny alligator on a black background with sections of the alligators body removed. Alien textures and plants grow from the holes and in the spaces around it. The words of the title and author are in a shiny blue/purple/pink text.
