Changes

In more personal news, now that we have more than 8,000 reviews on site - we know, staggering, isn't it?! - we've expanded our categories a little. Hopefully, you will find it easier to locate the types of book you enjoy reading now that there are ''dystopian'', ''thriller'' and ''paranormal'' sections in the fiction categories, a ''reference'' section in non-fiction, and an ''emerging readers'' section in the children's area. Do let us know if you think we're missing anything.

If you're going to be in the capital next month, we'd like to give you a heads up about Cityread London. This year they’re reading A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks. This state-of-the-nation novel set in London on the eve of the financial crash in 2007 explores themes such as terrorism, reality TV and drug addiction. Taking the themes of the novel as a starting point, they’ve lined up an amazing month of events taking place across London. Join a library book group, discover the history of the Tube, or swing by your local cinema. And if you're not in London, you can take part in our virtual book group without even leaving your sofa.
