Weekend Book Club is here and ready to soak up some sun! Find me in the backyard this weekend with The Möbius Book by Catherine Lacey.

This is for fans of the new Lily Allen album - think break-up, older man, revengey vibes!

A hybrid work that is both non-fiction and fiction with no beginning and no ending, The Möbius Book troubles the line between memory and imagination with an open-hearted defence of faith's inherent danger.

I can't wait to start this! What are you reading this weekend?
