And if you’d like to make your way over to our Facebook page and tell us which one you’d like to read and why, you could win a copy of one of them.
A Room Made of Leaves by Kate Grenville
Kate Grenville’s return to the territory of The Secret River is historical fiction turned inside out, a stunning sleight of hand by one of our most original writers.
‘Kate Grenville is a literary alchemist, turning the leaden shadow of the historical Elizabeth Macarthur into a luminescent, golden woman for our times...A polished gem of a novel by a writer who is as brave as she is insightful. I simply loved it.’ Clare Wright
Metal Fish, Falling Snow by Cath Moore
A warm and funny, heartfelt and startlingly original #OwnVoices debut about family, grief and mixed-race identity. Metal Fish, Falling Snow announces the arrival of a bold new figure in YA fiction.
‘A breathtaking debut with such an assured, original voice—one page and I was all in...Metal Fish, Falling Snow is one of the most moving books I’ve read in ages and I’ll be thinking about it for a long time.’ Vikki Wakefield
Pluses and Minuses: How Maths Solves Our Problems by Stefan Buijsman
Dr Stefan Buijsman looks beyond the numbers to explore the role mathematics plays in the modern world – from search engines to cruise control, from coffee-makers to timetables. You do the math.
‘From Netflix’s Numbers to the Maths of Manhattan, Buijsman’s book gets one big plus from me!’ Adam Spencer
