Face It: A Memoir by Debbie Harry - second time cheap

And Finally: Matters of Life and Death by Henry Marsh - first time cheap

'Given its subject - broadly, death and disease - the book is unexpectedly fun, and the author pretty much irresistibly likeable' Guardian

Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr (600 pages) - first time cheap

‘comfortable alongside Tolkien, Rowling and David Mitchell, and he is a much more elegant writer … an impressive achievement and a joy to read. Serious novels are rarely this fun.’ The Times

‘There is a kind of book a seasoned writer produces after a big success: large-hearted, wide in scope and joyous ... a deep lungful of fresh air – and a gift of a novel’ Guardian

‘A paean to stories as a source of sustenance and solace, and to the sweetness of our shared terrestrial home, Doerr’s narrative is buoyant with humanity and it’s author’s palpable pleasure in invention’ Daily Mail

A humane and uplifting book for adults that’s infused with the magic of childhood reading experiences. Cloud Cuckoo Land is ultimately a celebration of books, the power and possibilities of reading New York Times
