Five Upcoming Books to Get Excited About - November 2024

We’re now in the gentle calm before the Christmas storm. November offers a respite from holiday celebrations, allowing us all to cosy up under our blankets and enjoy the last of Autumn’s beauty.

What better way to do just that than with a brand-new book in hand? Luckily for you, we’ve got our November Publication Day coming up in just two weeks’ time!

On the lookout for some Christmas presents? Wanting something to dive into on these dark and cold nights? Here are five titles which we think will fit those requirements nice and neatly...

The Woman of Glass by Paul Erickson

Set in the ever-changing nineteenth century, Paul Erickson’s half-biographical, half-fictious tale of a strong and talented woman takes readers into a society that is actively prohibiting the entrepreneurial ideas of our lead heroine.

Is there a price too high to pay in order to protect your family and your family business? What would you do in a world stacked against you?

Erickson’s writing puts readers into the shoes of a struggling but determined heroine in a historical setting, but ultimately asks us to look inwards on our times. Is this as fictious as first believed?

Noodles and Albie on Thin Ice by Eric Bennett

When the winter is warmer than expected, Noodles drifts off to an unknown land of new animal companions and no clear route back home.

Meet the Little Blue penguins of Fairy Island, who enlist Noodles the Emperor Penguin and Albie the Fish to help scare off a clan of foxes. Protecting the penguin eggs, will not only save the Little Blues but might just draw the attention of Park Rangers too.

Join Noodles and Albie on their unknown Australian adventure and discover the world of the penguins for yourself!

Secret Moments by Kimberly Hoff

Lorraine and Emma share a complicated bond as mother and daughter. With just fifteen years separating them, young parenthood can be an empowering but difficult journey – one which currently lies in tatters as Emma heads off to college.

Emma’s one focus is to successfully graduate and leave her mother behind, until a gorgeous Veterinarian named Jay turns both Emma and Lorraine’s life upside down. Lorraine has potentially found a new life-partner, but Emma’s feelings are twisted: with her hatred for her mother battling against the attraction for Jay.

After many secret moments with this new man, can Emma deny her feelings any longer?

A Foreign Plot by Francis Quirke

Construction work can cause many unforeseen issues and is notoriously difficult to keep organised – as Englishman Charlie Funble is more than aware of.

In this humorous title from Francis Quirke, follow the tribulations of building Charlie’s dream home in an unknown plot in Bulgaria, as well as a London-based loft conversion for a dysfunctional couple, being worked on by a troubling and mischievous crew of builders.

There are AWOL construction workers, a fake haunted spirit and lots and lots of paperwork in a delightfully playful novel that’ll make you appreciate your home even more than you may do already!

Connor Jackson and the Quest for Azoth by Nick B. Ponter

In this follow-up to 2019’s The Memory Thieves, Connor Jackson is off on another adventure – an adventure that’ll take him much further than Lower Molehampton.

The sudden appearance of a Buddhist monk, along with a series of strange messages, leads Connor back down the molehills in his back garden and toward a global plot for power. This adventure truly does make a mountain out of a molehill!

What secrets are yet to be uncovered, new characters ready to introduce and how does the devious Forsythe-Twyke family relate to all of this? Time for another trip down the molehill!
