This month we’re highlighting the importance of connection with our β€˜Connections Count’ campaign. HOBAF is all about connection, with our mission statement being to tackle social isolation and loneliness. Our bookworms will be highlighting books about connection all through November, as well as hosting our Coffee & Connections campaign to bring people together.

In Tawada's trilogy, Hiruko searches for someone who speaks her native language in a world where her country has ceased to exist. As her search brings new friends into her life, we examine what it means to belong, to feel at home, and whether our roots are truly all that ground us. Scattered All Over the Earth was released in 2023, and 2025 sees part two and three of the series released to UK audiences and available to pick up in-store now β­πŸŒ„
