Absolutely loved soaking up the atmosphere of the circus and fairground in The Show Woman, by @emmacowing.bsky.social. There's hardship and excitement and mystery and joy in this novel, and I couldn't stop turning the pages. Thank you to @hodderbooks.bsky.social for the proof. Out in May!

What an amazing book, by Emily Maguire - the story of a young woman who disguises herself as a man to enter a monastery, every sentence is utterly gorgeous and it's bursting with earthy and visionary life. Thank you @mrfeditor.bsky.social for the proof! Out March 2025 from @sceptrebooks.bsky.social

Just been reading some of the essays in @adamjfarrer.bsky.social's Broken Biscuits and Other Male Failures and they're just brilliant - funny, occasionally wince-inducing, and incredibly moving. I loved their honesty and generosity. Out in Feb from Harper North! www.waterstones.com/book/broken-...

I absolutely loved The Grapevine, by @katekemp.bsky.social - brilliantly gripping and atmospheric, with such great characters - secrets, lies, and all. (Also, an excellent cat). Out in March 2025 from Phoenix Books. Thank you so much to @francescamain.bsky.social for the proof!
