Lisa Owens will be joining us at House of Books and Friends on Wednesday 1st July to discuss her new title ‘Natural Disaster‘ and we can't wait! 🐍 📚 The evening will begin at 6pm, and involve a discussion, a Q&A, and a chance to get your book signed by Lisa! ✨ About the book: For weeks, she has been saying it will be their special day. One last, perfect day with her children before she returns to work after maternity leave. What’s the worst that can happen? Unfolding across 24 hours, Natural Disaster is a novel about the absurd, frustrating, hilarious, precarious, bittersweet, sometimes astonishing challenge – literal, existential – of being a woman, a mother, a wife, a person for one single, entire day. To get tickets, check out the link in our bio! 🔗

In the lead up to summer you may find yourself leaning more towards shorter books that you can finish in one sitting. Here are some recommendations that are 200 pages or less that we believe are the perfect picks for train journeys, sitting on the beach, or simply filling your time in these longer evenings.🌻 Let us know if you have any other recommendations you think we have missed!📚

Bookseller Laura wants to put you onto this exciting new release🌟 Will Maclean's Solace House follows a group of students clearing out a remote mansion over the summer. As they uncover the former owner’s journals, the mood turns uneasy and the group becomes obsessed with the mystery surrounding the house and its lore. Solace House is definitely a page turner, it is full of suspense and constantly leaves you wanting to know more. If you’re a fan of The Secret History and The Haunting of Hill House, this is the book for you!👻
