Paperbacks

And Away… by Bob Mortimer (Gallery UK, £8.99). One of the bestselling—and best—showbiz autobiographies of recent times. Funny (of course) but often moving too.

A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins (Penguin, £8.99). A body found on a houseboat kicks off the most exciting thriller so far by the author of The Girl on the Train.

Berkmann’s Cricketing Miscellany by Marcus Berkmann (Abacus, £9.99). Father’s Day alert! A hugely entertaining collection of cricket facts, presented with Berkmann’s usual wit and keen eye for arresting detail.

No Such Thing as Perfect by Emma Hughes (Penguin, £7.99). Let’s face it, not that many rom-coms are both properly romantic and properly comic. Here’s one that is.

Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? by Séamas O’reilly (Fleet, £9.99). Wonderful, touching and somehow joyous memoir of growing up in rural Derry as one of 11 children, whose mother died when Séamas was five.
