Written in the form of a letter from a son to a mother who can’t read, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous tells the story of the main character, nicknamed Little Dog, while he's in his 20s.

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E Schwab

V.E Schwab's novel explores immortality, hunger and revenge through the intertwined stories of three vampires across different centuries.

Our Wives Under The Sea by Julia Armfield

If Florence Welch recommends a book, we already know we're going to love it.

When Leah returns after an unexpectedly extended deep-sea mission, Miri begins mourning the wife she once had. While Leah herself has returned, it is clear that she is not the same. Our Wives Under The Sea is a horror debut filled with love, loss and grief.

Almost Life by Kiran Millwood Hargrave

Heartstopper by Alice Oseman

Heartstopper is an absolute must-read.

The graphic novel follows Charlie, a sensitive over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, kind-hearted rugby player, who meet at their British all-boys school. Sat next to each other in class, the two become quick friends, but soon realise there could be something more between them.
