#WhatTheGruffalosReading : the G-Man is enjoying A Home For Spark the Dragon, by acclaimed and much-loved Welsh actor, Michael Sheen, Jess Webb, & illustrated by Sarah Massini, which raises funds for homelessness charity Shelter.

Signed copies available (while they last). And yes, of course we read it, and we thought it was rather lovely.

As spring turns to summer, the new releases are ramping up - these are just a few recent non-fiction titles to hit the shelves.

From political biography to ancient history, from former NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to Gertrude Stein to a history of ancient Iraq, to the Beatles, and the latest paperback from a very dear friend of ours, the Rev Richard Holloway.

And crisps! (that's potato chips to US readers!). Yes! A history of crisps!!

Delighted to have a return visit from Amanda Block, dropping off an advance proof of The Haunting of Hero's Bay, coming from Hodder this autumn.

We loved her debut, The Lost Storyteller, so we're looking forward to this!

We are absolutely loving Jess Hannigan's The Bear Out There from HaperCollins - a fabulous tale with a twist, delightful artwork & we're adoring the art beneath the dust jacket, and the endpapers too (great attention to detail)! Made us smile.

#WhatWereReading : Marie loves a good thriller, and really enjoyed the latest Stuart MacBride, House of Burning Bones & Michael Connelly's Nightshade. Cracking thrillers from both sides of the Atlantic!
