July 2016

We know that July and August often mean that your book group is taking a break, or that your meeting does not have full attendance. That does not mean that you are not reading, nor does it mean that you are not spending time noting titles that you want to read with your group.

Becca Watts

Reviewer

Becca Watts is one of two school librarians working at a high school in the north east of England. She is the one flailing around about the book you NEED TO READ and dressing as a Shadowhunter. Becca is book/cake/dog-obsessed in equal measure and can usually found covered in icing sugar and trying to bribe people with baked goods.

Alison Anderson, author of The Summer Guest

What if Anton Chekhov, undisputed master of the short story, secretly wrote a novel --- a manuscript hidden long ago that might have survived? This tantalizing possibility drives THE SUMMER GUEST, a spellbinding story --- inspired by historical events --- in which a diary weaves together the lives of three women: a dying Ukranian doctor who befriends Anton Chekov in the 19th century, a modern-day London book editor, and the woman she hires to translate it into English.
