The world and the Katniss-Peeta-Gale love

Soon summer will be shutting down and when September comes publishers like to fire their big guns. That’s what we’ve got in our new books column this week, folks – a salvo of big names continuing their big series including Steve Cavanagh, Nicci French and Ann Cleeves.

Paul Finch’s latest novel is a standalone thriller, but like his bestselling Heck series, One Eye Open is a police procedural. On the face of it, the traffic police might not seem the most promising division to write a thriller in, but Finch has once again produced a top notch example of British commercial crime

With Duckworth Press issuing a 20th anniversary edition of Layer Cake, we asked Brit Grit expert Paul D Brazill to slice it up for us… “You’re born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you’re up in

Over the years – especially recent ones – there have been many necessary conversations about the importance of increased representation in the U.S. publishing industry. Readers deserve to see themselves in the stories told and to be able to identify with the authors writing those books. This also extends to the diversity of publishing industry

On the night of 11 August 1956, less than a mile from his home in East Hampton, artist Jackson Pollock crashed his green, convertible Oldsmobile 88 into a tree. The 44-year-old Pollock and a female passenger were killed instantly. Ruth Kligman, Pollock’s mistress, survived the accident. This is the real-world basis Helen A Harrison begins

Independent Bookstore Day is coming up this weekend on Saturday, August 29. Unfortunately, celebrations will have to happen virtually this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of events to attend to celebrate independent bookstores across the country. Independent Bookstore Day’s official website is hosting a number of events

Nursery rhymes, as we all know, often have disturbing and violent messages. The old London rhyme Oranges and Lemons is no exception. When the speaker of the House of Commons Michael Claremont is badly injured under a delivery of citrus fruit near St Clement’s Church, it’s clear (to some) this is no freakish accident. A

I was 15 when I first saw The Day After Tomorrow on a class field trip. For those of you that haven’t seen the classic, Dennis Quaid plays a sexy climatologist who’s been largely ignored for his theories around climate change. Of course, he’s inevitably proven right and he spends most of the film trying
