Bookworms rejoice! This weekend we have rounded up 30 of the best debut novels to look forward to this year, including a grizzly thriller about a woman who kills her boyfriends and an intriguing story of two people who share a flat but have never met. Whether you're already planning your summer holiday reads or simply want to shun Marie Kondo and fill your shelves with books, we have something for you.
Elsewhere, we have an interview with the founder of Riverfood, the country's first and biggest vegetable box delivery scheme, who explains why the customer is not always right, and take a look inside the "Dead Shed", the seizures room inside Heathrow which contains thousands of wildlife contraband.
Our guest columnist, Ruby Wax, explores what it means to be human in an age of AI, and why we shouldn't fear advances in technology.
We also have an interview with TV chef James Martin about his new show - and why we need to stop doing down British produce.
In Travel, we have a round-up of the best reasons to visit France in 2019 and, if you're persuaded, a weekend guide to Lyon and a feature on the Alps' most family-friendly ski resort.
In Sport, we preview one of rugby's biggest grudge matches: Wales vs England in the Six Nations. Neither team has lost a match so far in the tournament so it's make or break for both sides on Saturday. We also look ahead to Sunday's Carabao Cup final, which will see Manchester City and Chelsea battle it out for the first big trophy of the domestic season.
Plus, as always, there's our popular puzzles pull-out and handy 7-day TV guide.
Whatever you are doing, we hope you have a wonderful weekend.
