I finished The Names this afternoon and this is honestly one of the best books I read in a long time - and I read a lot... Such a brilliant way of telling those three stories - I will have to go back and read them again in another order (this is enough of a spoiler).
Thank you so much for writing this book, I really loved it (and felt completely shattered by it)
Thank you, Sam! Having a curated book list is like hitting the lottery! I hope it's OK to add my recently published book, Embrace The Middle, to the list. It's for and about us. Word on the street (reviews and book award) is that women are loving it.
What a fab collection, Sam, thank you! I have ordered The Treasures, The Bombshell (a 99p kindle bargain today!) and have added Strong Roots to the pile….Happy holidays!
Thank you for this wonderful list! I’m adding The Dry Season (as I’m thinking if a year is a dry season I’m well into a dangerous drought 🤣) and How To Lose Your Mother to my summer list.
I have a VERY long haul flight coming next month and have The Names all ready to go for the journey….now I just have to hold off reading it before the trip starts 🤦♀️
What a great selectio. I have seen some of these getting great reviews on different places. So many books, so little time. Have to knuckle down on the sun lounger and bury myself in books 📚
Ahhhhh, thank you for this cornucopia of recs! I had ordered THE NAMES when you first posted about it ✅ and of course the Megan Abbott was on my radar, but I was thrilled to learn there is a new Denise Mina, and THE BOMBSHELL sounds right up my alley, too…
I've been waiting for Glynnis MacNicol's new one for an age after somehow being able to download the ebook sample and then finding the book was nowhere to be bought! Oh and Febos – what excitement. Thanks, Sam.
So many books to add to my tbr. And thank you so much for including The Names. Florence x
You’re welcome. Lovely to see you fly.

All the best from Heidelberg!
I'm really delighted you enjoyed it - thank you so much for taking the time to let me know. Florence x
I loved The Names! Such an original concept and great storytelling.
Love Beth's created with HI illustration, will be sharing far and wide.....I've seen the first Terminator!
Planning the summer holiday reading is one of life's great pleasures - a couple of these will definitely make it onto the list. Thank you :)

Of course! Congratulations
So much to look forward to here, thank you - loved your podcast with Olia, too.

Ooh, hope you enjoy them

They are both excellent reads.

You owe it to yourself!

All three are 😘.
I really want to read Dry Season!
It’s so good. She’s on the pod this week.
Ooh yay 🙌
These all look great- am choosing 3. To start with. Bank balance be damned - I need more epic sagas in my life.
Ooh let me know which ones
Good job it’s pay day tomorrow!!!!
☺️
The new Guy Gavriel Kay just dropped and I will try to sit on it until July.
Ooh Jon used to know him. Are you a joe Abercrombie fan too?
Have some but they didn’t really stick with me.
Thank you Sam, I enjoyed reading this post as much as I hope I will enjoy the books! 🩷
I hope so too!

The febos is as brilliant as you’d expect.
