You know when you read a brilliant book, and want everyone to get it on their reading lists?

I don’t know much, but I know an incredible novel when I read one, and #TheCoastRoad by #AlanMurrin is just that.

Thank you so much to Beth Farrell and Bloomsbury Books UK for my copy.

In case you missed my review of #Birding earlier today …

Thank you so much to Celeste for my copy of #MyFamilyandOtherRockStars by Tiffany Murray which is out from Fleet on 16th May.

Honestly, I asked Celeste for a copy, because Tiffany’s memoir about her childhood at the Rockfield Recording Studios sounds just fabulous!

Thank you so much to christina demosthenous and #Renegade Dialogue Publishing for my copy of #AlterEgo by Helen Heckety which is out in July.

This is Hattie’s story, who was diagnosed with a condition as a child, and has now decided it’s time to put The Plan into play and see what happens next..

Thank you so much to Aina and Héloïse Press for this beautiful copy of #Queenless by #MiraMarcinów tr. by Maggie Zebracka which is out in July.

#Queenless is a novel about a complicated relationship between a mother and a daughter, and it sounds just my kind of novel.

The Horse is out today - Willy Vlautin's most personal novel yet. A story about songwriting, shattered lives and a second chance.

'Both a work of extraordinary compassion and a really great novel.' Ann Patchett

'A bruised and beautiful instant classic.' Ben Myers
