Happy Autumn! The clocks are back, Easter has been and gone and we've officially said goodbye to what was a long, glorious summer. But us readers don't mind so much; is there any sweeter feeling than cozying up with a book as rain lashes at the window?
Nate is back from his wheeling and dealing at the Bologna Book Fair, which he attended as part of the RISE booksellers exchange scholarship. He has regaled us all with stories of literature, limoncello and linguine. Meanwhile, Auckland Writers Festival is right around the corner, kicking off Tuesday 13 May. If you're still finalising your timetable, let our expert selections below guide you (except from George, who is heading to an entirely different festival - Cannes - but will be back to chat books and movies in June.)
Read on to check out what's new on pre-order, including Jacinda Ardern's memoir; upcoming events with Khadro Mohamed and Vivienne Lingard, and our best new and recent releases, perfect for taking back to your warm and cozy reading nooks, and sheltering from the storms.
As always, happy reading!
