New reads: March 2020
It’s March! Daffodils are lining the (flooded) roads, we’ve all got some additional spare time on our hands (RIP London Book Fair 2020), and Easter is nearly upon us! (We have no bad things to say about Easter. Who doesn’t love a four-day weekend and chocolate eggs?!)
While it might feel like the rest of the world is going to pot, we’re still serving up THREE brilliant new titles to get stuck into this month, and we’re super excited to tell you about them all … Enjoy!
