Young Mungo - by Douglas Stuart -- 4.6/5, 6k ratings, 400 pages -- now dropped to 99p
Prepare your hearts, for Douglas Stuart is back. After the extraordinary success of Shuggie Bain (Booker Prize Winner), his second novel, Young Mungo, is another beautiful and moving book, a gay Romeo and Juliet set in the brutal world of Glasgow’s housing estates. ― Observer
I wasn't sure Young Mungo could live up to Shuggie Bain, but it surpasses it. Deeply harrowing but gently infused with hope & love. And so exquisitely written. It's a joy to watch, in real time, as Douglas Stuart takes his place as one of the greats of Scottish literature. -- Nicola Sturgeon
Few novels are as gutsy and gut-wrenching as Young Mungo in its depiction of a teenage boy who finds love amid family dysfunction, community conflict and the truly terrible predations of adults. Vividly realised and emotionally intense, this scorching novel is an urgent addition to the new canon of unsung stories. -- Bernardine Evaristo
Some novels can be admired, others enjoyed. But it is a rare thing to find a story so engrossing, bittersweet and beautiful that you do not so much read it, as experience it. It is this quality Young Mungo possesses - an intense, lovely, brutal thing. Stuart is a masterful storyteller. -- Kiran Millwood Hargrave
I can honestly say that the second novel from the author of Shuggie Bain... surpassed my (high) expectations. Stuart makes you care deeply about all of his characters but none more than Mungo, Mo-Maw's beloved, "the softest, sweetest boy she had ever known". ― Bookseller Book of the Month

Bloodlands - by Timothy Snyder
A superb work of scholarship, full of riveting detail -- Sunday Times
An original, wonderful and horrifying book... beautifully written and superbly researched -- Anthony Beevor
A lifetime's work by a Yale University historian who deserves to be read and reread.-- The Financial Times
Bloodlands is a brilliantly researched, profoundly humane, authoritative book that forces us to re-examine one of the greatest tragedies in European history.
A powerful and revelatory history book about the bloodlands that lie between Stalin's Russia and Hitler's Germany - where 14 million people were killed, 1933 - 1944.

Barbarossa: How Hitler Lost the War - by Jonathan Dimbleby
Dimbleby tells the story of strategic miscalculation and (self-)deception on all sides, and then Hitler's 'war of extermination', magnificently ― The Spectator
Brings to life the sheer, staggering scale of these events... with great skill, care and attention to detail ― Sunday Times
skilfully tracks the shifts and turns of the campaign, sparing no detail . . . a riveting account ― Daily Mail, Book of the Week
a vivid, meticulous tapestry, densely weaving the threads of German and Soviet military strategy, political calculation from Washington and London to Moscow, and war's pitiless human cost ― The Telegraph
99p - Animal: The Autobiography of a Female Body - by Sara Pascoe
I read this book recently, it's brilliant, and I hereby recommend it to you, the seething, unknowable public. -- Frankie Boyle
A tremendously exciting voice: timely, intelligent and buzzing with comedic charm ... Pascoe has something to say and a thoroughly engaging way of saying it. ― The Times
Some comics serve up their anxieties just for laughs; Pascoe draws on hers - about love, her body, having babies - to offer provocative (and positive) new perspectives on the world. ― Guardian
'Quirky, hilarious and well argued. What is surprising is how unusual this piece of writing is. I cannot think of anything quite like it. It's part memoir, part comedy, part anthropological investigation of the human (mostly female) condition. It doesn't really matter what she wants to talk about, she makes you want to listen. Engaging, scatty, completely relatable, Pascoe is a trustworthy narrator of the human experience.' ― Daily Telegraph
oops ... very nearly missed this one ...
99p - Sex Power Money - by Sara Pascoe
Ignore the occasional 1-star reviews ! eg:
I'm not happy with this order. The book looks old, a bit stained and wasn't looked after.
Stopped reading after a few pages, Sarah’s insistence on inserting jokes at inappropriate places was very grating.
it feels like its not really serious
