May’s Book (Trail) of the Month
Books in May with travelling potential
May’s Book (Trail) of the Month – It’s hard picking a favourite book. It’s like picking a favourite child. Some books however really do make it hard for you to think about other books and they often give you a book hangover where it’s very hard to read anything else immediately afterwards.
Looking back over the month of May, there’s been a standout book that just has to be highlighted. Many books are read each month here at BookTrail Towers and so it’s time to pick one a month that has particularly evoked a strong sense of place and a wonderful BookTrail literary guide.
