And another one for today:
Oranges are Not The Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson
Haven’t read this for twenty years but remember it being a brilliant novel about growing up in a repressive evangelical household and coming to terms with sexuality.
There’s even a reasonable chance I’ll read this soon as my youngest has chosen it for one of their English coursework texts and it’ll be good to refresh my memory so I can chat to them about it!

Have read this fantasy trilogy a while ago and really enjoyed it. Bought it again for my kindle cos my kids wandered off with the paper copies and who knows where they are now.
Goddamn it, this is on my wish list and still missed it, it’s back up to £11.99 now, grr!
It was just a daily deal unfortunately. I had somehow missed it in my checking of the daily deals, and only noticed it in a separate email alert for him.
I think Sir Keir has broken the daily deals page. His book was on offer yesterday (sorry for not mentioning it), but it’s still not been replaced with any new daily deals today, which is unheard of in my entire career of checking daily deals (for the past 18+ months).
In your very very much appreciated

Stupid link - its The Haar: A Horror Novel by David Sodergren
1.99 or unlimited, not heard of it but a comment states
It’s a cracking yarn, both splatter gore and high romance
so why the hell not!?

The first of his Culture novels. If you’ve never ventured into Banks’ sci-fi this would be a good place to start at 99p
