Waterstones Enfield

From a book written by a pilot about the majesty of flight to the very best thriller to read on board whilst you are flying, we’re proud to present our finest Book of the Month choices for July.

Books of The Month - July '16

There being a seemingly relentless atmosphere of gloom, uncertainty and a certain pinch of unpleasant political hostility, as an alternative here are some the funniest and most light-hearted of books with which to be distracted from the media’s procession of talking heads.

Inspired by Michael Frayn's merciless 1967 dissection of Fleet Street, Towards the End of the Morning, guest contributor Kim Forrester shares her five favourite novels set in the world of journalism.

Our Non-fiction Book of the Month for May is acclaimed bestseller The Last Act of Love by former Waterstones bookseller Cathy Rentzenbrink.

Jean-Paul Didierlaurent’s The Reader on the 6.27 is our Fiction Book of the Month for May. It has been something of a sensation in its native France, topping the bestseller charts and very much underlining Didierlaurent’s transition as a short-story writer of some repute toward transforming into a full-blown novelist. We hope you will enjoy every moment.

The cover of the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, Double Down, has been revealed! Pre-order it here: https://www.waterstones.com/…/do…/jef f-kinney/9780141373010…

Our top picks from a wide range of titles for May 2016.

Return to the Wizarding World this November with J.K. Rowling's screenplay for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Pre-order now for half price.

Our Book Club choice for this week is Jonathan Coe's biting and thought-provoking new novel Number 11.

Split between books and journalism, since 1994 the Orwell Prize has recognised a sweeping spectrum of talent and opinion, from Fergal Keane’s searing Rwandan odyssey Season of Blood through to This Boy, Alan Johnson’s bestselling memoir of his poverty-laced London childhood. Tonight saw an already-impressive longlist for books whittled down to the final six.

Our awesometacular selection of graphic novels. Looked after with extra TLC by Paul.
