Blog Post

So you've fallen in love with an android...

Moata runs through onscreen representations of romance between humans and machines. The intelligence may be artificial but is the love real?

 

Coming soon

Our fiction selector has picked out the best of the newest crop of sci-fi and fantasy titles. These aren't in libraries yet so get your holds on now or add them to your For Later shelf.

Beautiful Villain by Rebecca F Kenney

A Spicy paranormal retelling of The Great Gatsby. Addictive, steamy, frivolous trash read.

 

Zero stars do not recommend by MJ Wassmer

If you liked White Lotus, this will tickle you. A man finds himself trapped on an island resort after the sun explodes. Deeply entertaining.

 

The book of elsewhere by Keanu Reeves & China Miéville

If you like Military scifi thrillers this weird immersive tale has just had the rights acquired by Netflix.

 

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst

Cottagecore romantasy filled with every cliché you can imagine. If this was a rom com movie you bet it would be made by Hallmark.
