What we're reading this week: 'Spinning Silver' by Naomi Novik.
Naomi is fast becoming one of my favorite modern folkloric writers. Here she weaves the core elements of the best fairy and folk tales (rules of threes, contest and challenge, lies and half truths) into something new and adapted for a modern perspective. We also recommend her Scholomance trilogy for those looking for book about magic schools but with a bit of bite to it.
We have 'Spinning Silver' and other works by Naomi Novik in stock now!

What we're reading this week: 'The Great When' by Alan Moore.
Mr Moore takes us on an psychedelic trip through a post war London that is still picking itself off the ground 4 years after the bombs stopped falling. Mr Moores dense descriptive language and humor fills every moment. I would recommend this to anybody who enjoyed Terry Pratchetts early work (Pyramids, Small Gods, etc).
The Great When is in stock now!

A lovely day to read a book in the sun or, like Archie here, stay cool indoors with one too.
