This Saturday I’m taking the opportunity to noodle a bit about a few things I’ve spotted in my wanderings around the various bookshops. You’re welcome.
First up, this was the window display at the Euston W H Smith bookshop this week. I haven’t read Katy Brent’s debut, How to Kill Men and Get Away with It, because I’m fairly sure it’s too dark for me, but I do love the design they gave it and this second novel looks just as cool. And it’s clearly getting g a bit of a push in the shops.
This is one I spotted in my local Waterstones – I do like a Hollywood story, and I’m curious about behind the scenes at Disney, so this one has in the list of stuff I want to read just as soon as I’ve got the to read pile down a little bit!
And lastly, this was the hardback fiction tower at that same Waterstones. The books that jumped out took to me were Over My Dead Body, which has a murder victim stuck in limbo unless she can prove she was murdered; Kiley Reid’s second book because I’m curious to see how she follows the massive success of Such a Fun Age; and Sara Sheridan’s The Secrets of Blythswood Square because I used to read her Mirabelle Beavan mystery series and I’m interested to see what she’s doing now. But like the others, it may have to wait for a smaller backlog! Perhaps by the time they’re in paperback.,.
