We are proud to be supporting the Sunday Times Get Britain Reading campaign 📚🙌

Reading brings us so much joy! But Britain is facing a reading crisis, and we are losing the habit of reading for pleasure.

How do we change that? This campaign is aimed
at encouraging everyone to spend at least 10 minutes a day reading - to themselves or to someone else - just for the fun of it. And if you are already a committed reader and book lover, please help us spread the word.

Enter your email address and take the campaign pledge to get a six-week newsletter to guide you with ideas, book recommendations and reading tips that you can use yourself or share with others:

When a burned book falls into the hands of a young bookbinder, she uncovers a tale of forbidden love, a fortune lost ... and murder.

Beautiful, early finished copies of The by are now in the office.

Coming this November, this is the perfect book for book lovers and fans of historical fiction.

📚

‘I wish you had not killed him.’

Lilian Delaney, apprentice to a master bookbinder in Oxford in 1901, chafes at the confines of her life, caught between the oppressive walls of her father’s bookshop and the limitations of being a woman in a man’s profession. But when a burned book comes into her possession, she finds hidden beneath the binding a fifty-year-old letter speaking of love, fortune and murder.

Lily is drawn into the mystery, which hints at a forbidden romance between young lovers, and learns there are other books which conceal more of the story. Lily becomes obsessed with finding them, but she is not the only one looking, and what began as a simple intrigue quickly turns dangerous…

Lily must decide if uncovering the truth is worth losing everything.

Let us know in the comments if this sounds if this sounds like your perfect read.

Available to request on NetGalley.

Ever felt someone is watching you?

Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card.

And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she’s hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex.

But Alex also has secrets of his own.

Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger’s car. When Bryony was found murdered, Elle became obsessed with finding the person responsible.

She was convinced she knew who it was and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path . . .

Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind.

Has someone from her past discovered her new identity?

Has the stalker become the stalked?

Or is there something even more deadly at play?

🦋🦋🦋

When I Kill You by B.A. Paris is out 12th March.

Pre-order now. Obsess later.
