Lockdown (all three of them in the UK’s case) has given us all a lot more time to fill. For me, that’s meant more time to get through the towering pile of books on my bedside table. Having a good book on hand has really helped me get through the dullest lockdown day, and as we count down the weeks/days/hours until restrictions ease and our normal lives resume, I thought I’d put together a list of my favourite books on Bookshop.org for anyone looking for a new read. These are the best of the best (in my humble opinion).

If you purchase any book from Bookshop.org then profits go towards helping local, independent bookshops across the UK, which have been hit hard by the lockdowns. Although, nothing beats browsing a bookshop in the flesh – this is the next best thing.

Happy reading!
