May Lockdown Launches

  • Submitted: 2nd May 2020

May’s a good month for books!

This May sees a new selection of books that were supposed to have real life launches but have instead had online ones. Let’s take a minute to take a peek at the joy to fill your bookshelves this month

Books to lookout for during Lockdown

 

A real favourite this one…

CROZON, FRANCE

The Library of Rejected Books – David Foenkinos

Mystery of Henri Pick set in Crozon, France - David Foekinos

Once in a while, there’s a book that comes along that surprises you, delights you and makes you want everyone to read it so you can discuss it with them. This is that book for me. A mystery masterpiece comes to the attention of the literary world – but who wrote it? Surely it can’t be a humble pizza owner?

Thriller set in Antarctica - The Split by Sharon Bolton

ANTARCTICA

The Split by Sharon Bolton

I love the writing of Sharon Bolton so to be fair, I would read anything she wrote and go anywhere she took me in a novel. THIS book journey to ANTARCTICA is quite something else.

the glass house eve chase

NEW FOREST, ENGLAND

The Glass House by Eve Chase

Outside a remote manor house in an idyllic wood, a baby girl is found. Now what about THAT for a premise? If you want an atmospheric read that really immerses you in an increasingly involved situation then Eve Chase books are the best. Just listen to this:

“Behind a tall rusting gate, Foxcote manor erupts from the undergrowth, as if a geological heave has lifted it from the woodland floor. A wrecked beauty…”

As Greek as it Gets sue roberts

CRETE

As Greek as it Gets by Sue Roberts

Let the hot Greek sun melt all your troubles away…This is just what you need when you’re feeling a bit down isn’t it? Sue Roberts is the author to really take you places and this novel is no exception. When your wedding planning gets out of control, you want your friend to whisk you away, right? But what happens when you realise that this holiday away might just be the start of something new?
