The attraction is immediate and the two quickly become, well, friends. On day one she meets Roane Robson, “the most beautiful man ever seen”. (There is a bookstore in Scotland that actually does this and it sounds like a dream vacation to me, too!) ![]() She chooses Alnster because she sees an ad for Much Ado About Books, a cozy bookshop with a flat above where you stay while you run the bookstore. She’s had it with Chicago and decides to shake up her life by taking an extended holiday in Alnster, Northumberland. First, the guy she’d been SnapChatting with for months ghosts her, and then she’s passed over – again – for a promotion at the magazine where she works. Thirty-three-year-old Evie Starling has just had her heart broken: twice. A much younger colleague at school told me about Much Ado About You by Samantha Young and I liked the sound of it because the protagonist is bookish and the story takes place in Northern England. ![]() I guess I want the characters to have some baggage, too. I am a romantic at heart, but I am also a divorced 61-year-old and I come to these stories with a lot of baggage. ![]() Straight-up romance is not normally my go-to genre, mostly because I find it difficult to relate to the 25-35 year-old hotties who normally populate said stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() Far from being an internal, passive container for our thoughts and experiences, human consciousness is constantly projecting itself into the outside world and imbuing it with meaning. At the heart of this view are Sartre's radical conceptions of consciousness and freedom. What gives our lives significance, Sartre argues in Being and Nothingness, is not pre-established for us by God or nature but is something for which we ourselves are responsible. This new translation, the first for over sixty years, makes this classic work of philosophy available to a new generation of readers. The English philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch wrote to a friend of "the excitement - I remember nothing like it since the days of discovering Keats and Shelley and Coleridge". In it, Sartre offers nothing less than a brilliant and radical account of the human condition. ![]() First published in French in 1943, Jean-Paul Sartre's L'Etre et le Neant is one of the greatest philosophical works of the twentieth century. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is extraordinarily well written from the heart of a mother with three children, including one who happens to have an extra chromosome.

There has been a lot of media coverage about Down syndrome as the medical community is now able to provide a very early diagnosis for pregnant women on the possibly of having a baby with Down syndrome. "From Grief to Celebration - How One Family Learned to Embrace the Gift of Down Syndrome" ![]() ![]() ![]() Mina and Libby’s fascination with all things horror was fun. I wouldn’t say I am hugely into vampires or books about them but I loved the way they were interlaced into this book and the different classic references that appeared. It made me want to visit New Orleans whilst also simultaneously making me wary. ![]() Knowing only a little about New Orleans, I was absolutely enamoured with all of the mythology shared in this novel and how these horrors unfolded to touch Mina’s own life. The writing was easy to fall in love with and I felt transported to the fascinating, yet dark, world of New Orleans in the 90s. ![]() I immediately liked Mina as our main character and was intrigued as to what would unfold during her time in New Orleans. I properly enjoyed this fast paced, murder mystery laced with classic horror, blood and gore. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() England Rugby World Cup Winner Steve Thompson, Beth Mead and Gary Neville all take home gongs at The 21st Sports Book Awards.Jhalak Prizes 2023 Winners Announced celebrating British or British-resident writers of colour.60 spectacular LGBTQIA+ books to read this Pride Month and every month.25 Recommended Reads about Race, Racism, and Demarginalizing History - Necessary Non-fiction You Should Read for Life-changing Insights and Impact.80+ Must-read Novels by Black Writers - Black Lit Matters.Discover the Drama of the Courtroom in These 20 Fabulous Novels Celebrating National Crime Reading Month.Guest Editor, Summer 2023 - Vaseem Khan.June 2023 Book Club Recommendation: When Things Are Alive They Hum by Hannah Bent.13 Books to Support and Celebrate Caregivers for National Carers Week.The Joffe Books Prize Is Open Once Again and on the Look out for New Talent. ![]() 60 + Novels Highlighting Empathy and Compassion - for National Empathy Day 8 June.Celebrate Read Caribbean Month and the achievements of the Windrush generation by reading 20+ brilliant books for National Windrush Day, 22nd June. ![]() |
