Kate So Amazon is going to push advertisements on us now for new releases? That's a good way to get me to never buy a book from them again.

Waterstones and W.H. Smith also advertise. My local independent bookstore that doesn’t push their books is News From Nowhere, Liverpool.

Violet Beartooth is really good, I recommend it if you like novels about siblings, and nature/wilderness. It was very atmospheric.
