You'd prefer summer not to be over and have a secret feeling it might not yet be time to give up on the season of rest and relaxation yet! If you're looking for a perfect crossover read try the delightfully dark summer read, Uncle Paul by Celia Fremlin.

Going ‘back to school’ after the summer is a signal to you to try something new, much like a new year's resolution . . . but in September. Try a book you’ve never heard of, or one that defies genres, like our beautiful exclusive reproduction of Nightwood.

You've had the summer to relax and ponder the important things in life and now you’re ready to try and tackle some of the big things that are important to you and some of the harder questions about life via your reading list. Try Booker Prize longlisted novel Old God's Time by Sebastian Barry.

You love September and the start of renewing and refreshing old projects and starting new ones with exciting possibilities. Faber editions might be a great place for you to explore the idea of revisiting lost gems and finding new perspectives. A breakthrough cult dystopian novel about a hotel, Termush is a great place to start.

Spring is traditionally the time of renewal, but autumn can provide fresh starts too and that is what you are looking for. Rather than the easier-going picks you might have chosen on holiday, try something that renews your passion for literature like Shy by Max Porter.

Autumn is a transformational season and the end of summer gives you space to think about what you want more of this year, before it is over. This sort of thoughtfulness is a dreaming of sorts, of what is and can be and your reading style might switch to works that inspire insight and self-reflection. Try Mary Jean Chan's outstanding latest collection of poetry, Bright Fear.
