12 novels & memoirs to get you back into reading...
A round-up of the books - novels and memoirs, we've either just read or are on our wishlists. There are the new or soon-to-released titles to get ready for summer holidays (Long Island - the much awaited sequel to Brooklyn; David Nicholl's new novel if we can steal our collective obsession from 'One Day'; Wandering Souls & Girls). Also, the books recommended by friends we just have to read this year (Nora Ephron's Heartburn for laughter through tears; A Heart that Works by Rob Delaney that seems too heartbreaking to contemplate but is also uplifting; to the classic The Artists Way for creative inspiration).
If you're feeling like getting back into reading - whether it's page-turning, zooming on Kindle, or listening on Audible; here are 12 literary sure-starters…
