Kicking off our author announcements is the incredible Mark Lawrence!

Mark's latest, The Book That Held Her Heart, completes The Library Trilogy, a stunningly realised fantasy series, following two outcasts who join forces to send a world-changing story to the stars

A Poet For Every Day of the Year, edited by Allie Esiri

A Poet For Every Day of the Year, edited by Allie Esiri

I want to read something frivolous* (inc. audio books) every day. Have bought myself this, as a poem seems like a minimum achievable baseline.

*by which I mean not for uni or work

At the left of the image is the front cover of Stephanie Burgis’s A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience, which shows an ominously closed entrance-gate at the top of the cover and a bat with its wings outspread at the bottom, all framed by climbing roses. Above and beside it is this snippet from the story: 
“If I may?” Her husband rose to meet her, his broad chest filling her view and the cinnamon-and-cloves scent of his shaving cream filling her senses. “Naturally, I am pleased to hear you plotting another man’s doom, for once. In fact, I find it startlingly enjoyable. However, do you think you might allow me the satisfaction of knowing whom, exactly, you are planning on murdering on behalf of both of us?”
Beneath that text is the preorder link: books2read.com/UndeadInconvenience
