Cairn – Kathleen Jamie
There are some really good books coming out and if I had to say which one I am most excited about it would have to be Kathleen Jamie’s.
Any here that you like the look of? Let me know in the comments below.
I’m so excited to learn that we can look forward to new books from Matt Gaw, Sean Hewitt, Kathleen Jamie and Joe Shute in 2024. Thanks, Paul!
No problem at all, Rebecca
I love it when you go through the catalogues!
Lots of really good books here, and I’ve even managed to request a couple on Netgalley. The Kathleen Jamie has to be a highlight, but I also like the sound of the books by Nicholas Royle, Joseph Hone, Matt Gaw and Caroline Eden.
Thanks so much for doing all the hard work.
There are still a few that I haven’t been able to get hold of, Picador Icon to name two.
Ooooo Netgalley have instantly approved the Matt Gaw book!
Well done!
Well I’ve got I Can Hear the Cuckoo from NetGalley just now and have requested the Matt Gaw weather one, I already had Not the End of the World. I also have Local of course. And I will look out for you getting and reviewing some of the others! Many of the others, OK.
