Not book related but the transfer special of Not The Top 20 Pod with Ali Maxwell going solo is a superb listen. Not many people can keep the interest level up on their own from start to finish. I'm now so excited about the new EFL season. Great job Ali.

All the Colours of the Dark by Chris Whitaker is my favourite read this year, and one of the highlights of the last few years. We can't wait to sell it to as many people as possible.

I can't describe how proud I am to sell my brother's book. He's worked incredibly hard to overcome all sorts and he's achieved so much. An intellectual read, though there's a lack of dragons or murder mystery, but I'll forgive him that. Philosophy of Time by Dr Graeme Forbes.

We can't wait to meet Cressida in October. Come down to the shop to say hello.
