HELENE'S TOP FIVE MARCH PICKS

It's that time of the month again! The time for March picks by our staff that is! It was going to be top six but a last minute cull narrowed it down. It's a tough choice for all of us... It is also oddly animal themed today but enjoy! 


I can tell you that I am also enjoying this wrapping paper background too. We do free gift wrapping!


So we have:

Dogs About Town by Louise Glazebrook 
A happy look into 'how to raise a dog in the city'. A must for any prospective or wistful dog owners!

Night Guest by Fiona McFarlane
There is no other way to explain this book apart from giving you the blurb...So here it is!
"One morning Ruth wakes thinking a tiger has been in her seaside house. Later that day a formidable woman called Frida arrives, looking as if she's blown in from the sea. In fact she's come to care for Ruth. Frida and the tiger: both are here to stay, and neither is what they seem." What?!

H is for Hawk by Helen MacDonald 
What do falcons and grief have in common? An honest look into coping and struggling with grief intertwined with the taming of the wild. 

WOW: Experimental Design for a Changing World
Well, wow! This book is simply gorgeous and will have you sniffing the pages.We promise. Covering a number of different objects, this is pretty funky. 

Horses in Australia: An Illustrated History by Nicolas Brasch
Regal, strong and stunning are some words to describe the magnificent beasts within. Whether you are a horse lover or just interested, your eyes will be opened to a whole new world!


As a child, Helen Macdonald was determined to become a falconer, learning the arcane terminology and reading all the classic books. Years later, when her father died and she was struck deeply by grief, she became obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk. She bought Mabel for £800 on a Scottish quayside and took her home to Cambridge, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals. - See more at: http://www.randomhouse.com.au/books/helen-macdonald/h-is-for-hawk-9780099575450.aspx#sthash.jtOfHYrK.dpuf
