I have been through all of the autumn 2020 publishers catalogues that could lay my hands on. I have extracted all the books that I really really like the look of. Most are non-fiction, as you have probably come to expect by now, but there are a smattering of fiction and sci-fi in there. This is why my TBR is never going to end!!!
