Two upcoming books you Must Read

September is almost here but summer reading continues. I have 2 very different books to recommend: one about a serial killer who has forgotten what they are and a heart-squeezing one about a teen's dying wish.

Both of these wonderful books come out in September...

Remember Where You've Buried the Bodies (September 19th 2025)

What happens when a serial killer forgets he is a serial killer?

At Sunset House the tea is barely introduced to a teabag, the carpets are permanently flecked with glitter and care assistant Jolene would rather be watching daytime television than caring for the elderly – but someone might just have confessed to murder.

Most think Gilbert’s sudden claim – ‘When I killed her’ – is likely to be the dementia talking. Or a spoiler for Midsomer Murders. Probably. Now, between bingo, staff drama and a suspicious game of pass the parcel, someone’s about to dig up more than buried memories…

Darkly funny, sharply observant and unquestionably deadly, this is no Thursday Murder Club.

The Wish (September 11th 2025)

From the bestselling author of THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ comes a heartbreaking contemporary novel of a dying teenager's final wish, a lonely young man's journey towards connection, and the unexpected friendship they find together.

Jesse is 15. She loves her friends, her little brother and her parents - even when they're arguing, which feels like constantly these days. But most of all, she loves playing video games. Even from her hospital bed.

Alex is 29. He doesn't love a lot of things. To be honest, he's not really sure he knows how to. His desk at work, as VR games designer, is empty, much like his life feels sometimes.

Then Jesse makes a wish. A simple one: a video experience made of her life, something to be there, just in case she isn't. One loving teenager. One lonely adult.

Which one will get the happy ending?
