| It’s official, Summer is here, and we hope you will be able to enjoy a lovely holiday – but, with readers reading twice as much while away as compared to home, don’t forget to scroll down to visit the site to see them all and choose some cracking reads. And if listening rather than reading is more to your taste then our Unabridged Audiobooks will be perfect. |
This Month’s Highlights
The summer version of
Channel 4’s TV Book Club is now well under way and Jo Brand and Co have reviewed 3 books of the eight – but we wanted to give you a sneak preview of one of our favourites that is due to appear on the show on 1 Aug. It’s called
Ellis Island by Kate Kerrigan and it’s a wonderfully evocative historical saga with characters that really draw you in. Go on – treat yourself….
Summer holidays are a great escape from the pressures of everyday life so we thought it would be perfect timing to get our resident
Sci Fi expert to select some summer reading that will take you a lot further than your sun lounger! From sensational debuts such as
The Passage by Justin Cronin, our MEGA Book of the Month, through award winning novels from
China Mieville to epic space opera from
Stephen Hunt. Find out more today.
Editor’s Choice is a special feature that delves into the publishing world to bring you new books and authors that are getting the real book experts – the editors - really excited.
It’s always a difficult job finding that next great book, the one that stands out from the crowd, and when it happens we rarely hear from the horse’s mouth as to why the editor chose that particular title. New this month are
Return to the Olive Farm by Carol Drinkwater and
Document and Eyewitness: An Intimate History of Rough Trade by Neil Taylor.
Find out why they are all a flutter…
The Queen of New Beginnings
Erica James
Warm, witty and wise storytelling with a lovely, feel-good factor and a charming, intriguing plot. It’s a fast-paced, light read with a dark centre, just like a fine chocolate.
Released: 19/08/2010
 £5.24 Save 25% |
Room
Emma Donoghue
To an imprisoned 5-year old child born to a kidnapped sex toy the 12x12 room is his universe. This is probably the most extraordinary book you will read for a long time.
Released: 20/08/2010

Secrets She Left Behind
Diane Chamberlain
This follows directly on from Before the Storm one year later but does stand perfectly well alone. If you enjoy Jodi Picoult or Anita Shreve then it’s definitely well worth downloading the extract to whet your appetite.
Released: 20/08/2010
£5.99 Save 25% |
Bad Karma
David Safier
A selfish, egotistical TV star is killed by a falling satellite and finds herself re-incarnated as an ant – it sounds ridiculous but this book is an absolute gem.
Released: 01/08/2010
