Before the weekend starts, pick up a few choice reads to enjoy. Here are some suggestions from our New Books section on Facebook.
Affection: An Erotic Memoir by Krissy Kneen: In this sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant, and sometimes terrifying memoir, she traces the arc of her sexual life—from her childhood in a sexless household to the myriad sexual encounters of her young and adult life to the present, in which she is a married (and monogamous) 40-year-old woman. Affection follows the path of Kneen’s life journey, from the compulsive sexual self-exploration of her childhood to her experiences as a young woman for whom the world is a sexual playground.

Fryupdale by Mark Staniforth: Porn stars and serial killers, Nazis and nymphomaniacs, hunchbacks and bare-knuckle boxers: just a few of the disparate cast of characters who call the remote moorland community of Fryupdale their home. These 18 short stories reveal the unflinching truths behind their lonely, sad and sometimes hilarious lives – and why the world beyond village limits will always seem so distant. (August 27th)
The Stuff That Never Happened by Maddie Dawson: The story of Annabelle and Grant, a couple who has been married for 28 mostly happy years, but who find now that the children have moved out that they perhaps never got over a devastating secret at the beginning of their marriage. Is it inevitable that marriages, even good ones, simply wear out over time? (August 3rd)
