Thank you to Picador Books and Saraband Books for my copies of WHALE FALL (25 April) and HOW WE NAMED THE STARS (4 July). I've heard so much about these novels and I'm really looking forward to reading them! #bookpost
Happy publication day to Freya Sampson Zaffre Books for NOSY NEIGHBOURS, a cosy mystery featuring neighbours Kat and Dorothy (ages 25 and 77, respectively), who are sworn enemies but band together to save their historic home from demolition.
Six books unified by an originality of voice, accessible, insightful, each one a masterpiece. May we present the first ever #WomensPrize for #NonFiction shortlist sponsored by Findmypast.
Huge congratulations to the shortlisted authors and our heartfelt thanks to the judges!
