2020 may have turned out to be the Year from Hell, but the weeks and months seem to be passing as fast as ever and here we are at October, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the time when the nights really start drawing in and the weather takes a definitely cooler term. Traditionally, it’s the time we all start thinking about curling up somewhere warm with a good book, whether it’s one that will give us the warm fuzzies, or one that will keep us biting our nails or on the edge of our seats […]

September is traditionally the time of year when publishers start bringing out the Big Guns, the high-profile, highly-anticipated releases we’ve anxiously been waiting to get our hands on.  Despite that this is a year like no other in many respects, there’s still plenty of wonderful reading material awaiting us as we head into the months of Autumn. Here is just a selection of the goodies in store for us over coming weeks: […]

For some of us, February was a bit of a lean month when it came to new releases, but March is more than making up for it, and we’ve a bumper list of what we think are going to be fabulous reads to lighten your bank balance!  Mysteries, contemporaries, historicals, paranormals… whatever your poison, there’s sure to be something here to tempt you; and if the book you’re MOST looking forward to reading in March isn’t here, then please drop by and tell us about it in the comments!

Even as AAR staffers have been looking back at their favourite books from 2019, we’ve taken time out to look ahead to the books we’re most looking to reading in January 2020.
