One for lovers of : a fascinating new biography of Vivian Maier by Ann Marks, an enigma who kept so many photographs hidden away during her lifetime, a treasure trove of imagery, capturing life & the world around her.

The G-Man is working on his new book. Literary memoirs?? Innovative novel? Haiku collection? We don't know, he's very tight lipped about his process....

: Joe loved
Temi Oh's near-future novel More Perfect from Simon & Schuster, filled with moral grey areas over new tech & personal freedom, which feeds the drama in a staitsfying manner. Temi is one of the new writing voices to watch out for.

Cyrano the Cat (and Stéphanie) have enjoyed by James Hynes; a poignant historical novel about slavery in the Roman Empire. Harsh but true, and beautifully written!
