Dr Kate Lister is back and she's exploring the history of women's sexual pleasure in the fantastic Flick, while a popular video game has been translated for the book format.
Without further ado, read on for our best books to read this week.
1. The Street Clinic – Dorcas Gwata (BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week)
With 25 years on the NHS frontline, Gwata dives into a London often overlooked, packed with wealth inequalities and a crisis in youth violence. The Street Clinic is as uncomfortable as it is exposing, as Gwata brings some unspoken truths to light and explores what the future could hold.
2. The Make-Believe – Hannah Murray
Hannah Murray is perhaps best-known for her on-screen roles as Cassie in Skins and Gilly in Game of Thrones. Most might be unaware of the path she took to get there and the sacrifices she had to take for success. In this memoir, Murray details her need for personal healing after years of degrading auditions and filming violent scenes.

4. Flick: The Story of Female Pleasure – Dr Kate Lister
