As November arrives, bringing some much-needed light at the end of a long, dark year, we expect you all to be outside enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. Maybe you’ll enjoy a long-awaited coffee with a friend, maybe you’ll go for a walk in a park – maybe you’ll drop in on your favourite newly reopened bookshop and help them make up for the fallow months of lockdown. And when you’re done, and you return home for a nice sit down and a celebratory drink, check out our November new releases, waiting to take you away all over again.
Please make your way over to our Facebook page and tell us which one of our November books you’d like to read and why – you could win a copy.
