Very graphic crime fiction based loosely around real crimes, not for the squeamish!

Fantastic crime fiction author with fast paced stories

A great author who normalises queer existence in her characters, set in fun, fantasy stories

Gay man who writes about taboo moments in a funny and sympathetic lens not often seen in LGBT+ media

"An hilarious autobiography about when things were really not going well- yet Miranda so brilliantly focuses on and draws out the humour from each agonising situation she goes through! "

"Engaging, teen-crime project"

"The book is like a maze to navigate, it takes you through multiple layers of fiction to instil a unique dread in the reader, as if the eerie horror of the House is looking back at you through the pages." 

"It is a lovely book about Albert who has kept his true self secret all his life. As he is about to retire, he finds himself coming out - it is a lovely book packed with hope and human kindness"

"A really interesting story"

"I love it because it is an exciting and dramatic story with strong LGBTQ+ representation, and it explores identity, power and being true to yourself in a way that feels really relevant for young adults.  "

"Ann Lister was brave and inspiring"

"The author that the TV series “The Durrells” was based on.   A really easy, fun read.  Lots of great characters and fun events. Short, easy to read chapters.  Great if you don’t have tons of time to read at length"

"A powerful experience that everyone can take something away from"

"An interesting perspective switch about seeing humans from an aliens’ perspective"

"Interesting to see how fandom, club, and music cultures interact with each other"

"Very funny"

"A very inspiring story of someone living with Tourette’s and it’s an incredibly educational account of her real-life experience"

"A quick read but real page-turner! It’s the novel that inspired the film Blade Runner"

"A book about a girl who finds things difficult, especially in school, which I read a lot and really relate to"

"I find alcohol fermentation and the process very interesting as I’m currently working in this field. It’s so interesting how vital a role yeast plays in our diet"

"It’s taught me how to be confident in my decisions and not have to please everyone"

"I enjoy snuggling with my Grandson and reading them AND they are excellently informative for adults too. They are all about love, kindness and acceptance."

"A book series I kinda imprinted on as a teen, but reading it again as an adult, it still holds up beautifully. The story is about a family of necromancers who work to put the dead back to rest and their work rebuilding the shattered Old Kingdom. It also has themes of finding one's place in the world and the fact that you still have value and purpose despite not living up to peoples' expectations, which was of great comfort to me as an unknowingly queer and disabled teenager."

"A fun graphic novel about queer characters and found family"

"A unique and in-depth sci-fi read"

"I like the characters a lot and it’s well written"

"So many queer people and I really like it"

"It's fun to read, and when you start you don't want to stop."

"Huge world and lore building that gives us lots of characters whose lives all intertwine together and it fascinating to see all the different perspectives"

"Very cool"

"It is very wholesome and comforting, feels like healing"

"An adventure that spans reality, time and the realms of peculiardom, with images to support the children described, the series takes you through a realm of emotions and challenges with twists and turns you wouldn't expect!

Great fun at any age, I highly recommend anyone who enjoys fantasy, fiction and young adult to check out this series...but be warned, they are gripping so you may need to get the next book ready!"
