Book recommendations for Spring

By Katya Church of Book Stop, Tavistock 

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig 

Nora Seed is in a dark place, and it's getting darker by the hour. Job, friends, family, pet, all slipping away. And it could have been so different. If only she'd pursued her talents - swimming, music, science. If only she'd stuck with the band. If only she'd persisted with Dan. So much to regret, so little light, so... what's the point in going on? With his customary wit, Matt Haig's wonderful new novel addresses the heaviest and deepest of issues with the lightest of touches, and asks is it really the choices we make and the twists and turns of fate that determine our happiness, and how might it be if we respond to these highs and lows with greater acceptance and less attachment? If ever there was a book about depression to brighten up your day then this is it! Just out in paperback, we still have signed copies in stock at the time of writing.
