A Shiny Merry Christmas

From Annabel and Harriet

After a tumultuous 2020, what with lockdown, accidentally deleting Shiny New Books and having to rebuild it totally from scratch (read more about that disaster here!), Shiny New Books was able rise phoenix-like from the ashes fully revived in 2021.

This year, we topped 200 reviews and articles from our superb team of writers, many of whom have been with us since we began in April 2014. We owe a huge thank you to all of them for their unflagging desire to share their thoughts on a wider range of books than ever, (approaching 50% non fiction).

Psst! Want to join our team? Drop us a line, see here for more info.

Also thank you to everyone who visits the site, or interacts with our FB or Twitter feeds. We love you too, and we’re delighted that our reach continues to grow quietly, do feel free to keep spreading the word.

We’re signing off for Christmas today on the website, but will be tweeting some of our reviewer’s favourites from the year. We’ll see you again here though in mid January.

With love from Annabel and Harriet.
