May. The month in which we all feel summer should be here already; yet the weather constantly dismisses our feelings and reminds us, that we live in England.
The erratic shifts between heavy rainfall and dazzling sunshine that characterises May can be rather annoying for those looking to spend time outdoors. Never fear! Here are some new releases that will bring that Summer energy right to your doorstep.
Well played Roshani, well played…
‘The Silvered Serpents’ picks up months after the events of the previous book. Our band of jolly thieves are not quite as jolly as they struggle to protect their battered hearts and make the most of what life has dealt their way.
The long Easter bank holidays signal the transition from winter to spring. As we gear up for more outdoor walks, and hopefully more sunshine, check out the new releases for this month which we would love to read while lounging in the garden:
This book captures the dysfunctional relationship a nurse (Korede) has with her younger sister (Ayoola) who is a serial killer. Now, although this sounds fairly dark and unsettling, Korede’s morbidly funny narrative makes this book surprising entertaining. In fact, the satirical nature of her narrative completely changes the tone of the book from a thriller into an amusing beach read.

I cannot talk about this book without first mentioning the absolutely BEAU-TI-FUL cover that adorns it! I am not ashamed to say that this book was definitely one that I judged by its cover. Seriously, on the computer this cover looks really pretty and easy on the eye, but it is even better in real life! I may or may not have spent the first five minutes after I this book arrived, stroking and staring at the cover. If you have never done this to a book, then you are just weird!
February, the month where love is in the air! Join us in sharing our love for books by checking out the new books coming out this month that we would read straight away if we could.
Although this book is not the biggest I have ever read, I can’t help but feel proud of myself for finishing this gigantic 830 paged beauty! Despite the high ratings and attention this book received, I was not completely sold by its premise before I started reading it. So colour me surprised, when I found myself completely enthralled just a few pages into this book.
