We always cover two books at our January meetings as we don't meet in December.
This year's reads are:
Life As A Unicorn: A Journey From Shame To Pride And Everything Inbetween by Amrou Al-Khadi
Life as a Unicorn is a hilarious yet devastating story of a search for belonging, following the painful and surprising process of transforming from a god-fearing Muslim boy to a queer drag queen; strutting the stage in seven-inch heels, and saying the things that nobody else dares to...
The Bookshop Detectives: Dead Girls Gone by Gareth Ward and Louise Ward.
When a mystery parcel arrives at Sherlock Tomes bookshop in small-town Havelock North, New Zealand, husband and wife owners Garth and Eloise (and their petrified pooch, Stevie) are drawn into the baffling case of a decades-old missing schoolgirl.
Intrigued by the puzzling, bookish clues, the two ex-cops are soon entangled in a web of crime, drugs and floral decapitations while endeavouring to pull off the international celebrity cook launch of the century.
With their beloved shop on the chopping block and the sinister suspect who forced them to run away from Blighty re-emerging from the shadows, have Garth and Eloise Sherlock finally met their Moriarty?
