Where the Crawdad Sings

An atmospheric ‘coming of age’ story about a lonely girl growing up in the marshes of North Carolina. This bestseller teaches us about human resilience and our dauntless will to survive.

The Push

What if you feel there is something missing in your baby and you are unable to love it. Is it you that is at fault? Or is there actually something wrong with your child? If there is one thriller you need to pick up, make it this one.

The Henna Artist

This Reese’s Book club pick is a vivid and compelling tale of one woman’s quest to make it in a society deeply rooted in traditional patriarchy and rampant misogyny.

Hood Femisim

Delve beyond the age old ‘white manufactured’ definition of feminism and acquire the knowledge needed to update the term to be more accepting of the diversity that is reflected in today’s world.

Crescent City

This latest offering by Maas is adult urban fantasy at its page turning best. Mystical creatures battle it out in this epic story of danger, loyalty and unbridled passion. Added Bonus - Bryce, the protagonist is awesome!
