    Our next Monday book club is on 6th July when we’ll discuss winner of the 2026 Climate Fiction Prize, Hum by Helen Phillips. Chair of Judges, Arifa Akbar, described Hum as “a book that deals with love, community and family in the face of climate crisis, privilege and the age of AI” while fellow judge Jessie Greengrass said that it is “beautiful and intimate, this novel about the difficulties of love and care in a world which is increasingly mediated by technology is one I’ve found myself thinking about long after finishing the last page”.

  • Sally Coulthard

    Pickering Book Tree 43a Market Place, Pickering

    Join us in conversation with bestselling author and columnist Sally Coulthard. We’ll discuss the hidden history of the coast through objects found along its shoreline and brought to life in Sally’s new book, A Brief History of the Coast in 100 Objects. Described as “a true celebration of the flotsam and jetsam left by time and tide” (Rose Ferraby) and “a wonderfully rich and very different narrative that reeks of tang and pungent atmosphere” (Alistair Moffatt), this is a much anticipated follow up to A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects, which was a Waterstones Best Book of 2024 for Nature Writing, and is very popular here in the Book Tree too!
