Staff recommendations...

The Life impossible by Matt Haig 

"The Life Impossible by Matt Haig is magical realism with a smattering of mathematics set in Ibiza. A deceptively simple story it stays with you long after putting it down. Being transformed by the sea is both a joy and a curse for a woman who felt life had nothing left to offer. She couldn't be more wrong."
- Shana 

Raising steam by Terry Pratchett 

"Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett is a humorous fantasy novel, following the invention and consequences of the first steam engine on the Discworld, as well as the lengths, of those who want either its success or failure, will go to. It is also an excellent audiobook experience."
- Sam

Darling girls by Sally Hepworth 

"What a wild ride this book was! Well- paced read, twisty & oh so addictive. LOVED this book."

Sanctuary by Garry Disher 

"A very convincing, fast-paced thriller. Well drawn, interesting characters. The plot comes to a suitable, tension-filled finale."
- Chris R

Storm child by Michael Robotham 

"A brilliant author who spins a great story but also allows you to become the character and feel the surroundings."
~ Dave K
