My #neglectedfaithful for March is this well thumbed copy of The Family Upstairs I found in second hand, having got The Family Remains before realising I was supposed to read this first! I just finished reading Violets last night and I’m very conflicted about it. I stayed up way past my bedtime last night to finish #thedaughtersofmadurai by @raji_warrior If you loved Killing Eve and How To Kill  Your Family, How to Kill Men and Get Away With It by @but_katy_did_it will be right up your street! What a day!!! So so proud to be a part of Team Rabbits, Regional Winners for Independent Bookshop of the Year 2023!!!Woooohoooo!! You need this book right now, because oh my days. I’m emotionally bruised after reading the phenomenal In Memoriam by @alicewinnauthor The proof I have been (not so) patiently awaiting! Huge thanks to our rep Jeff @bonnierbooks_uk for sourcing it for me! Wow. This was quite the read!! A book I’ll be shouting about this year is Tiny Pieces of Enid by @tiny_pieces_of_tim
