General Fiction Book of The Month

Inter Alia by Suzie Miller

An eminent Crown Court Judge is forced to reckon her professional life and role as wife, mother, friend, and feminist when a devastating crisis hits home.

Jessica is a recently appointed Judge in London, who grapples with balancing her demanding professional responsibilities with her roles as a mother, wife, friend, and feminist. She belongs to a new breed of judicial minds, working actively within the legal framework to bring morality, compassion, and human decency into an infrastructure historically built without women in mind.

In the courtroom, Jessica maintains unyielding control-stalling combative KCs, dismantling deep-seated legal prejudices, and actively working to protect vulnerable witnesses from trauma. But beneath her professional composure lies the invisible, exhausting weight of the domestic juggle. While her husband Michael, a successful criminal barrister, navigates his career with effortless privilege, Jessica finds herself quietly carrying the lion's share of the emotional and operational labour at home.

When an unexpected criminal accusation directly entangles her eighteen-year-old son, Harry, the rigid boundaries separating Jessica's workspace from her family life fracture. Forced to confront the dark realities of contemporary youth culture, peer pressure, and institutional bias, she must step off the bench to fight for her family. Inter Alia offers a searing, intimate examination of modern masculinity, motherhood, and systemic justice, revealing the fragile compromises women must make to survive under enduring patriarchal structures.

Crime/ Thriller Book of The Month

Women in White by Sarah Pekkanen

When 80-year-old Betty Sadler hires Riley Bell, a down-on-her-luck divorcee, as a live-in aide, it seems like a lifeline - even if Betty's house is a strange time capsule from the 1960s. Betty has one final wish: she wants Riley to find her three best friends from college. But when Riley begins to investigate, she discovers the first woman murdered her husband, then took her own life, the day Betty abruptly left the college. The second friend was institutionalized for schizophrenia hours later. And the third disappeared forever.

Riley soon learns Betty and her friends were part of classified university experiments and that Betty is haunted by what transpired inside the Institute's Room 6. But whatever was swirling around these four exceptional young women is rising from its long-dormant state.

Someone is trying to resurrect the old experiments, like a copy-cat serial killer. And Riley's efforts to get answers about the lost girls of the Room 6 is putting her on a collision course with the person who wants to finish the job.

Fantasy/ Romantasy Book of The Month

Runebreaker by Mila Finch

AN IMPOSSIBLE POWER. A FATHOMLESS HATRED. A BOND THAT COULD UNRAVEL WORLDS.

Aelie can break runes with her bare hands, shattering the magic at the heart of fae society. They hate her for it, fear her for it, and, when they finally capture her, sentence her to die for it.

Desperate to survive, Aelie severs the rune enslaving her executioner – Kairos, a devastatingly handsome fae with a blood-soaked past.

The moment he's freed, Kairos slaughters the entire court. Then he drags Aelie to his kingdom, a realm of towering forests and shimmering mists.

Bound to the ruthless king she freed, Aelie is thrown into the deadly politics of the fae courts. To survive, she must master her forbidden power and resist the fae who sees her as his greatest weapon … and darkest obsession.

Romance Book of The Month

Sunlight Finds You by Laura Moriarty

A forbidden love blows open the world of a young woman, altering the trajectory of her life.

Postwar America is a time of rigid social rules. But when effervescent, seventeen-year-old Nora moves to Florida, she finds paradise—especially after she meets and wins over shy, brilliant Leonard. His mother is welcoming, but his father is suspicious of Nora and her lower-class family.

When coerced into breaking off all contact with Leonard, Nora makes a decision that exiles her from the family she loves, and sets off a chain of secrets and betrayals that will follow her for years.

Laura Moriarty’s Sunlight Finds You explores ideas about family, female desire, sexism, motherhood and prejudice. It’s about our capacity to forgive—ourselves and others—and about finding happiness by refusing to settle for a life that is less than full.

Non-Fiction Book of The Month

Good Witch by Lucianne Tonti

A paradigm-shifting book that asks what the world might be like if divine feminine power had never been devalued. And shows us how it is being reclaimed.

Gardener. Gossip. Spinster. Healer. Nymph . . . Witch.

For centuries, the work of women was viewed with suspicion. Their knowledge – of bodies, nature, and community – posed a threat to a masculine order. To men who saw them as something to be contained and controlled.

Good Witch takes us back hundreds of years to the dark times when witch hunts were sweeping Europe and North America. From Salem to England, Scotland to the northern corners of Norway, tens of thousands of women were persecuted, prosecuted and killed.

Today, we can still feel the legacy of the witch hunts: In the way the natural world has been degraded. In the way humans have become disengaged from the things that make us truly happy. A campaign of disenchantment has sought to disconnect us from the earth – and from each other.

But enchantment was never truly lost.

Across the globe, women are reclaiming the skills, practices and stories that masculine societies have tried so hard to diminish or dismiss. Here, Tonti shows us how a return to feminine power is what the world desperately needs now, more than ever.
