If you’re like me and have a serious book hangover after reading Fourth Wing then here are some books that might take your mind off the long wait until the second book arrives in November!

If you like dark and twisty mysteries then you definitely need to add this to your reading list! I will be recommending this one for a long time.

Here at The Imaginarium we have a range of books, that range is constantly changing as books come and go, new books are published and customers come back with some amazing recommendations. Here are some new books we’ve added recently and a few books that might not have caught your eye:

It’s been an interesting year so far with lots of new books coming out and my genre phases chopping and changing constantly and slumps hitting left, right and centre. Despite all that, I have managed to read 35 books this year with a mix of good, bad and unmentionable books.

I’ve recently found a new love for books with gothic atmosphere in a whole range of genres and unfortunately it seems like there aren’t too many books in that area but I’ve been fortunate to find a few great gems in the ones that I have read.

Reading is my favourite hobby. I have others but reading takes priority every time. However for some reason or other, I hit a wall and can’t seem to read anything which leads me to having multiple books on the go and not finishing any of them which then adds to the stress of trying to read and finish a book, especially if it’s a book I need to read for book club.

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus has been extremely popular recently. Quite a few customers have come in and raved about this book and usually when a book is constantly talked about and hyped up, it tends to put me off reading it but I couldn’t resist picking it up.

A lot of books these days, if they are well received, get thrown all over social media such as TikTok, YouTube and Instagram and because of the hype that pushes these books to the forefront of everyone’s eyes and sometimes they just aren’t as good as you expect. So here are some books that may have gone under your radar.

There are many reasons why someone might choose to pick up a book. During my time working at The Imaginarium I’ve had a lot of wonderful conversations with customers and discovered a variety of reasons why someone chooses to read.
