Need some literary inspiration?

Kazuo Ishiguro’s highly anticipated new novel The Buried Giant has just arrived. Everyone at Readings is raving about Rebecca Starford’s terrific memoir Bad Behaviour. Our book club pick last month was Anne Tyler’s lastest novel A Spool of Blue Thread (we loved it) and our book club pick this month is Abigail Ulman’s Hot Little Hands (can’t wait to read it). We pretty excited to have signed copies of Michel Faber’s brilliant The Book of Strange New Things available right now online and in our Carlton shop.

You can check out this week’s bestselling books, and a whole range of new novels, fascinating non-fiction and fast-paced crime and thrillers. And why not pick up something for the kids? There are lots of stunning cookbooks to choose from, and today could be a great day to splurge on a little something from our beautiful art & design collection. Still not sure?
