It's Tim's turn to recommend his five favourite books of the year so far, and here they are.

Whether you would like a beautifully insightful novel about a history teacher caught in the political maelstrom of contemporary America, a gripping collection of short stories about twisted secrets and joyful liberation, a careful study of a woman's encounters with all things Switzerland, a deadpan story about two London journalists coming to terms with change, or a masterful narrative of a boy's homecoming to his family croft in the Outer Hebrides, you'll surely find something perfect from Tim's picks. Come and visit the bookshop, and he'll tell you all about them. 📚

We’ve got some big news to share: we’re renovating the shop! We’ll be closing from July 5 while we get the work done, then reopening in a few weeks with a fresh new interior. Consider this your one-month warning to stock up on all the books you'll need while we're away. Our top five picks are rolling out here over the coming weeks if you're after a little inspiration, but as always, pop in and we can curate a bundle just for you. See you soon at 14 Macleay Street.

Next are Naomi's favourite reads of 2026:

A curator who, in creating an installation at a medieval castle, imagines the life of a long forgotten king; a man drops his phone in the sink just before a critical interview; twisted families and an America in decline in snappy short stories; a woman's life is knocked off kilter after a dog bite and hospital sojourn; and a literary journey told through vignettes of Swiss authors, artists, and encounters.

Swing by the shop to speak to Naomi about them ❤

In this first half of the year, Eamonn has loved these five books more than any others.

His choices include a witty slice-of-life classic about forbidden love that weaves between the Upper West Side and Upstate New York, a selection of cutting short stories about twisted American families that will leave you very anxious, a novel about Deborah Levy wandering around Paris with her friends and wondering about Gertrude Stein, a note-perfect tale about a boy’s return to his family croft on the Outer Hebrides and the secrets that we keep from each other, and a gripping piece of narrative non-fiction about the seedy oligarchs and gangsters who run contemporary London.

If any of these picks pique your interest, come to the bookshop and ask Eamonn about them. 👀

We're starting early with our mid-year check ins for 2026. Up first is Steve with his favourite books of the year so far.

He's been loving a set interconnected short stories set in a fading Western Australian town (from 2004); the past threatens to overwhelm after a 15 year absence leads to a grim homecoming, to a gimlet-eyed history of a woman's relationships over the course of her life; a fictional travelogue through Switzerland told in vignettes on Swiss writers, artists and culture; and essays from one of Britain's best authors and cultural commentators.

If you're thinking 'wow, those descriptions sound incredibly vague' that's because these books are alike in that they character-focused, expansive, nimble, and defy easy categorisation. Please come in to the shop and talk to Steve so he can do them more justice, or just know that they come highly recommended ✅
