Northern Soul’s Best Reads of 2018
We hoped that 2018 would be an improvement on a turbulent 2016 and an inexplicable 2017. But this year proved that [rubbish] things come in threes. Nevertheless, it wasn’t all doom and gloom. In fact, 2018 was an incredible year for bookworms and writers alike.
Poetry Review: Where the Road Runs Out by Gaia Holmes
