Friday's #BYMHM is A Time of Birds: Reflections on Friday's #BYMHM is A Time of Birds: Reflections on cycling across Europe by @helenmoat. In A Time of Birds Helen Moat sets out to cycle across Europe with her teenage son, on her sit-up-and-beg bike - aka 'The Tank'. She's not sure whether she's running away from the past or pedalling towards it. As she cycles the Rhine and Danube, the sky filled with birdsong, she senses her bird-loving father by her side. Gradually, the natural beauty of Europe's great waterways bring healing and she feels a sense of belonging on a continent shaped by war and peace, peoples divided and reunited.

Next #BYMHM is The Stream Invites Us to Follow: Ex Next #BYMHM is The Stream Invites Us to Follow: Exploring the Eden from Source to Sea by Dick Capel. Nestled between the Pennines and the Lake District Fells, the beautiful Eden Valley combines lush green countryside, adundant wildlife, fertile farmland and historic market towns and villages. Much like the valley itself, this book is a meeting of the natural world, the people who inhabit it, and their stories, history and skills. As a long-time counteyside manager for the Eden Valley, few people know this area quite as intimately as Dick Capel - and even fewer have worked as hard to protect it.

Our next #BYMHM is The Lyre Dancers by Mandy Haggi Our next #BYMHM is The Lyre Dancers by Mandy Haggith @mandyhaggith. The third in the Iron Age trilogy, The Stone Series. A beautifully written, engrossing tale, The Lyre Dancers takes place in a richly imagined world that challenges our modern views of family, gender roles and our place in the environment. Perils and passions take their turn across the pages of this early Celtic saga that Allan Massie @the.scotsman said "invites the reader to explore a strange world and far-distant time ... enthralling." . .

The first book in our Books You May Have Missed se The first book in our Books You May Have Missed series (#BYMHM) is The Unreliable Death of Lady Grange by Sue Lawrence. A reimagined story of a true crime, this book is based on the true story of betrayal, abduction and exile of Lady Grange on St Kilda in 1732. How an educated woman of rank and status simply 'disappeared' at the hands of her husband. It's time for #TheRealLadyGrange to have her say. . . . #LadyGrange #StKilda #MonachIsles #ScottishHistory #kidnapped #exile #betrayal #historicalfiction #jacobites #feminism #lostvoices #womensrights #womensequality #nastywomen #womensvoices #oursharedshelf
I think we can all agree that the last three month I think we can all agree that the last three months have been a whirlwind. Many of us have made sacrifices and had to give up things and people we love. But many have also found happiness and community in lockdown. For all of these reasons, books that have been published during lockdown may well have passed you by, swept up in the chaos and the noise. Especially since browsing your favourite bookshops hasn't been an option. . . . So, to try and make up for that we're spending the next week putting a spotlight on all the books we've published during lockdown. One a day. On our feed and in our stories. . . . We'd love to showcase some of our followers' pics and reviews so check each morning to see which book we're featuring and then tag us in your posts and we'll repost them on our stories. . . . . #BYMHM #bookstagram #igreads #igbooks #instareads #instabooks #bookblogger #bookfeature #newbooks #indiebooks #indiepublishing #shopindie #supportsmall #bookstagramuk #bookchat #bookoftheweek #bookoftheday
