#WhatWereReading : Joe loved Akira Otani's The Night of the Baba Yaga, translated by Sam Bett. #Japanese fiction with Yakuza, action, queer romance & a Tarantino sort-of vibe to it.
Out now from Faber & Faber

As spring turns to summer, the new releases are ramping up - these are just a few recent non-fiction titles to hit the shelves.
From political biography to ancient history, from former NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to Gertrude Stein to a history of ancient Iraq, to the Beatles, and the latest paperback from a very dear friend of ours, the Rev Richard Holloway.
And crisps! (that's potato chips to US readers!). Yes! A history of crisps!!

Delighted to have a return visit from Amanda Block, dropping off an advance proof of The Haunting of Hero's Bay, coming from Hodder this autumn.
We loved her debut, The Lost Storyteller, so we're looking forward to this!

We are absolutely loving Jess Hannigan's The Bear Out There from HaperCollins - a fabulous tale with a twist, delightful artwork & we're adoring the art beneath the dust jacket, and the endpapers too (great attention to detail)! Made us smile.
