Recommended Reads

Each month our booksellers choose their favourite new titles, and those become our monthly Staff Recommended Reads. From insightful non-fiction to gripping thrillers to future classics, we hope you'll enjoy these books as much as we do!

Earn double loyalty points on our picks for May, including Willy Vlautin's most personal novel yet - The Horse, Nuala O’Connor's intimate and thrilling portrayal of the life of 18th-century Irishwoman, Anne Bonny - Seaborne, and the funny and moving debut novel from Richie Craven - Spirit Level.

For younger readers this month, our choices include a blooming great adventure for Rosie and her grandad in Una Woods' A Blooming Great Day and a timely and gripping social-suspense novel about standing up for what you believe in, by bestselling author Samira Ahmed - This Book Won't Burn.
