We recommend....

Well, in this instance, one of our readers recommends - much as we'd like to read everything we have in stock, we do take time out occasionally to eat and sleep. So we're always grateful when our customers give us their opinion. Catriona Edington has read three new children's titles for us, and passed on her comments:-

One Dog and His Boy, by Eva Ibbotson

"I loved this book, because it felt really real. I felt like these things happened, and at the end he got his dog. A happy ending." 9/10

City of Fallen Angels: Book 4 of The Mortal Instruments,

by Cassandra Clare

"It is really exciting, but scary and I love the magic twist into normal life" 8/1

A Year Without Autumn, by Liz Kessler
"This book is mysterious but exciting. I love the time travelling theme" 8/10

Spying on the Spooks: Jon Stock on the Dark Arts of Espionage Fiction

The White Horse Bookshop wll host an event on 26 May at the Castle and Ball Hotel, in Marlborough High Street. Local author Jon Stock will talk about and sign copies of his latest thriller, Games Traitors Play. Tickets are £5 from the shop, redeemable against a purchase of the book at the event.
