2018 in Books (with 2019 preview)



Here are some of the year’s best books. But first, a sneak preview of 2019.


Books for reading next year.


In February 2019: 
C. J. Tudor’s second novel promises to be equally as chilling as her fist, the bestselling The Chalk Man. This time, in The Taking of Annie Thorne, the action is set in Notts.

In March 2019: 
Susan Finlay’s moving debut Our Lady of Everything arrives on our bookshelves. Strongly set in Nottingham it’s a story of love, faith and what people do when they don't have the answers.


In May 2019: 
How To Find Home by Mahsuda Snaith is about Molly, a young homeless woman. The novel features Nottingham. 


In June 2019: 
Habeas Corpus by the former Nottingham rogue turned QC, Gary Bell, could be one of the year’s big hits.

In July 2019: 
The Second Sleep by Robert Harris will be one of 2019’s must-reads.
