It's Fave Book Friday and this week Selena is reviewing 'All the Sinners Bleed' by S.A. Cosby:

"The characterisation of protagonist Titus in this thriller is top-notch, with his past haunting him even more than his present and colouring his every interaction with not only friends and family but also the inhabitants of the richly described Charon County. I loved S.A. Cosby's 'Blacktop Wasteland', and with this book, Cosby has been cemented as an author whose back catalogue I'm going to absolutely devour."

For Fave Book Friday this week Sarah is reviewing the children's picture book 'Frank's Red Hat' by Sean E. Avery:

"This is a hilarious and endearing book about a creative, knitting penguin who causes a stir with his latest colourful creation. Both children and adults will enjoy this charming story - I loved the unique and witty illustrations, which feature some subtle visual jokes. Although the story is full of twists and turns, it ultimately celebrates the value of sharing ideas, as well as the importance of bravery and perseverance."
