When a brush with the law pushes Red into a corner, he escapes their town to start a new life in England. As the years pass, they remain tethered to one another, a fragile thread holding their once fierce friendship together. When Róisín arrives in London, the promise of freedom, of reinvention, and of finding her dear friend calls.

The brand-new series from the bestselling author of Practical Magic , following two brilliant young women in 1950s Cambridge, Massachusetts, as they become immersed in a mysterious secret group of witches at Radcliffe known as the Lilith Society. Once upon a time, women were drowned in the river and the only witnesses were the crows in the trees. The Puritans blamed Eve for the sins of the world. That was when we began to meet in the name of Lilith, Adam’s first wife—banished for refusing to do as she was told. We Fly Together… By the 1950s, Cambridge, Massachusetts feels far removed from the legendary witch trials that marked its early days as a colony. Ava, a bright young woman from a small town in Maine, arrives for her first year at Radcliffe College. There, she meets Lauren, her opposite in every way—the wild and brazen daughter of a wealthy and well-established Cambridge family. But the two have more in common than they think. Both are recruited by the Lilith Society, a secret organization of witches at Radcliffe dating back to colonial times. As they learn more about their legacy, Ava and Lauren form a close bond that is put to the test as they learn to navigate their new power, friendship, and love. While Radcliffe seems like a safe haven, the shadow of McCarthyism looms large, an ever-present threat to the flourishing creative and intellectual life in Cambridge. And as girls from the Lilith Society begin to go missing, Ava and Lauren realize the witch trials of the past may not be as deeply buried as they once believed. |

29. The Lesser Key of Solomon - Aleister Crowley & S.L. MacGregor Mathers
|
|||
|
This edition is a fully illustrated reprint of the 1904 publication by Aleister Crowley and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers. This edition of The Lesser Key of Solomon the King contains all of the over 150 seals, sigils, and charts of the original lesser book of Solomon. Beware of other editions that do not contain the Lesser Key of Solomon seals; they were painstakingly researched by Mathers and Crowley, and Solomon’s lesser key is enhanced by their inclusion. This edition also contains Crowley’s original comments located in over 35 annotations to help the reader understand the lesser keys of Solomon the king. In this work, Crowley and Mathers assemble descriptions and directions for the invocation of over 72 demons or spirits. Included are: illustrations of Solomon’s Magic Circle & Triangle, Enochian translations of the Goetia book, step by step guides for invocation, as well as definitions and explanations for the ancient terms seen throughout the Lesser Key of Solomon book. The Lesser Key of Solomon, or the Clavicula Salomonis Regis, or Lemegeton, is a compilation of materials and writings from ancient sources making up a text book of magic or “grimoire.” Portions of this book can be traced back to the mid-16th to 17th centuries, when occult researchers such as Cornelius Agrippa and Johannes Trithemisus assembled what they discovered during their investigations into their own great works. As a modern grimoire, the Lesser Key of Solomon has seen several editions with various authors and editors taking liberty to edit and translate the ancient writings and source material. In 1898, Arthur Edward Waite published his The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts, which contained large portions of the Lemegeton. He was followed by Mathers and Crowley in 1904 who published The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon. Many others have assembled their own version of this ancient material since, and it is important to realize that it is the contents rather than the book itself that make up the Lesser Key. Traditionally, the source material is divided into five books: Ars Goetia, Ars Theurgia Goetia, Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel, and Ars Notoria. Mathers and Crowley indicate their edition is a translation only of the first book: Goetia. In the preface to this edition, it is explained that a “Secret Chief” of the Rosicrucian Order directed the completion of the book. The original editor was a G. H. Fra. D.D.C.F. who translated ancient texts from French, Hebrew, and Latin, but was unable to complete his labors because of the martial assaults of the Four Great Princes. Crowley was then asked to step in and finish what the previous author had begun. Traditionally, S. L. MacGregor Mathers is credited as the translator of this edition, and Crowley is given the title of editor. Although impossible to verify, it is often claimed that Mathers did not want to publish this work, but Crowley did so anyway without his permission. |

A compelling, intriguing and entertaining masterpiece' LIZ NUGENT 'An epic elegy of love, family, morality and justice that deserves to be showered with awards' CHRIS BROOKMYRE I look along the road and notice how many people are standing outside their houses or watching from doorways and windows. Staring. Studying. 'Do you think this town will ever forgive me?' I ask. 'Not in a million years.' Small towns are quick to anger and slow to forgive, but Arlo Hackett doesn't expect mercy when he emerges from a twelve-year prison sentence and makes his way back to Yulara, a waypoint on Australia's Great Southern Road. The last time Arlo was home, his brother Luke was charged with a terrible crime and Arlo was found guilty by association. His return to the former goldrush town is like cracking open a time capsule full of hatred and violence, along with memories of the people he loved - the ones he couldn't save. Yulara wants Arlo gone, or worse, but every insult and humiliation pushes him to confront what really happened all those years ago. The truth will shock you, surprise you, and break your heart.

36. The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard - Robert E. Howard
|
|||
|
Here are Robert E. Howard’s greatest horror tales, all in their original, definitive versions. Some of Howard’s best-known characters—Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, and sailor Steve Costigan among them—roam the forbidding locales of the author’s fevered imagination, from the swamps and bayous of the Deep South to the fiend-haunted woods outside Paris to remote jungles in Africa. The collection includes Howard’s masterpiece “Pigeons from Hell,” which Stephen King calls “one of the finest horror stories of [the twentieth] century,” a tale of two travelers who stumble upon the ruins of a Southern plantation–and into the maw of its fatal secret. In “Black Canaan” even the best warrior has little chance of taking down the evil voodoo man with unholy powers–and none at all against his wily mistress, the diabolical High Priestess of Damballah. In these and other lavishly illustrated classics, such as the revenge nightmare “Worms of the Earth” and “The Cairn on the Headland,” Howard spins tales of unrelenting terror, the legacy of one of the world’s great masters of the macabre. |

54. The Walls - James McClean
|

|
'So f**king good' Paul Kimmage, Sunday Independent 'One of the best sports books of the year . . . powerful and sometimes disturbing . . . elevated by McClean’s willingness to show himself in an unflattering light' Donald McRae, Guardian ‘A remarkable book. Whatever the top bracket of sports autobiographies in this country [. . .] it’s straight in amongst the all-time classics’ Joe Molloy, Indo Sports podcast Move aside, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Roy Keane: James McClean's The Walls is the most honest, intimate and revealing football autobiography of our time – the new book from the most capped Republic of Ireland players and former Wrexham FC captain. From growing up in Derry to the Premier League, international football and helping Wrexham FC climb the divisions, James McClean has lived a life between worlds – and rarely been afraid to stand up for what he believes in. By the time he was 11, McClean knew how to make a petrol bomb. Yet on his first trip as an under-19 international footballer, he was self-conscious because he didn't know how to use a knife and fork. In The Walls , McClean tells the story of his childhood in Derry, from the 'cheevies', riots and street football to playing for his beloved Derry City at 19. Then came an extraordinary rise: from the League of Ireland to the Premier League in the space of a year. At Sunderland, his decision not to wear the Remembrance poppy caused a firestorm, changing his life and that of his family forever. Now, McClean explains the origins of his stance, the history of the poppy in English football and the different ways the issue was handled by his clubs over the years. But The Walls also goes beyond the headlines to reveal the man behind the footballer. McClean writes openly about his struggles to control his rage, his obsessional eating and training regimens, the pressures of fame and his relationships with managers. Alongside them are laugh-out-loud stories of expensive cars, an addiction to football boots and his struggles with household appliances as a young footballer living alone. He also takes readers inside his twelve years and 103 caps with the Republic of Ireland, before a late flourish to his club career saw him help Wrexham FC rise through the divisions which was charted on the Disney+ show Welcome to Wrexham. McClean's story is joined by the voices of his wife, his agent and others close to him, whose perspectives sometimes differ fascinatingly from his own. Magnificently detailed, entertaining and unflinchingly open, The Walls is the intimate true story of James McClean, the places that talent can take you, the pressures of fame, and the joys and costs of standing up for your beliefs. |

'Kyla filters the world through her actual lived experience and turns it into stories that are hilarious and almost impossibly true. There's nobody like Kyla.' ELIZABETH GILBERT, author of EAT, PRAY, LOVE 'Written with real honesty, genuine warmth and a huge dollop of unfiltered humour' Irish Times 'An easy, unpretentious read that nevertheless tackles some difficult subjects with unflinching honesty' Irish Independent 'A sharp, witty, and unique book about becoming an unapologetically imperfect woman' her.ie 'When I was twenty-one, a woman introduced me to five magic words that changed my life: Happy, thank you. More, please.' Kyla Cobbler's path to self-love didn't always run smoothly. From making questionable dating decisions, to using booze to quell her constant Irish state of mortification, to getting arrested for drug smuggling - sometimes it felt like the universe didn't have her back. But when Kyla began opening herself up to gratitude - for the tiny victories, not just the big firework moments - and learned to trust her instincts, she began to realise that she had the power to create her own happiness. With raw honesty and wit, Happy, thank you. More, please . chronicles Kyla's journey from performing as the person she thought she should be, to discovering the chaotic, complicated, unapologetically imperfect woman she actually is. This is a book about falling in love with yourself - not because you've fixed everything, but because you've finally stopped trying to. |

Step into a world of hot hockey players, feisty heroines and steamy romance in this addictive spin-off from the bestselling Off-Campus! Read The Chase for the perfect brother's best friend romance! She's the one girl he shouldn't want . . . Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there's no logical reason why I'm so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don't usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I'm flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn't help that he's buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we're roommates? I suppose it doesn't matter. Fitzy has made it clear he's not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I'm not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I'm not about to start. I've got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he's missing? He knows where to find me. *** Why fans love Elle Kennedy ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐! 'Delicious, complicated and drama-filled . . .

80. A Nation Once Again - Paul Howard
|
|||
|
THE NO 1 BESTSELLER The hilarious new satire from the bestselling author of the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly series ‘Funny, smart. seriously thought-provoking' Joseph O'Connor 'Hilarious, bang-on, even slightly disturbing - everything I love about Paul Howard's writing.' Roddy Doyle ‘I absolutely LOVED A Nation Once Again . It was such a huge pleasure to read, I laughed out loud so many times. Paul Howard is a literal genius.’ Marian Keyes --- There’s only one idea more foolish than dividing Ireland – and that’s trying to put it back together again. Meet Fiach O’Bric: career diplomat, recent widower, and a man looking forward to a peaceful retirement. But just when he thinks he's out, he is strong-armed into taking over a shadowy top-secret department tasked with preparing for a United Ireland — a job so surreal it makes his last posting, in Beijing, seem like a Buddhist retreat. Running the Department with Responsibility for Making Arrangements for the Unification of Ireland, an outfit quietly failing since 1958, Fiach finds himself managing a team of oddballs, timeservers, and a die-hard nationalist from Dundalk. And he spends his days refereeing rows about everything everyone has failed to agree for about 800 years, as well as absurd new suggestions – like conjuring a capital city that nobody actually wants. In Westmeath. Nothing is too crazy to be proposed, nor too sensible to be rejected. Fiach can feel the hand of history upon his shoulder. He suspects it may soon throttle him. Yet, against his better judgement — and all available evidence — a dangerous thought takes hold. What if he could be the one to do what Tone, Pearse and centuries of Irish martyrs failed to do: make Ireland one, and somehow not die in the process. Dream on, Fiach. --- 'Funny, smart and provocative, the scariest thing about this novel is that it might be based on fact.' John Boyne ‘Disgracefully funny’ Sunday Independent ‘Best thing he’s ever done – I am in awe’ Róisín Ingle ‘Very funny’ Patrick Freyne 'Riotously funny with a cast of characters I was sad to leave.' Sarah Breen ‘I LOVED IT! It is funny, sharp, super-smart and thoughtful.’ Emily Hourican ‘Pure farce … funny and scabrous’ Seamus O’Reilly, Irish Times ‘Hilarious’ RTÉ Guide ‘Very funny … comic but deeply insightful’ Matt Cooper ‘A great read’ Hugh Linehan, Inside Politics podcast ‘It was well worth dividing Ireland in the first place for this brilliant book.’ Declan Lynch ‘Properly hilarious’ Sunday Independent 'Expertly mines the North's sectarian granite to produce a masterpiece of fact and hilarity. I almost passed out.' Joe Brolly 'This playful novel showcases Howard's gift for one-liners and comic scenarios.’ Irish Independent |

83. Orientalism - Edward W. Said
|
|||
|
More than three decades after its first publication, Edward Said's groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East has become a modern classic. In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding. Essential, and still eye-opening, Orientalism remains one of the most important books written about our divided world. |

93. A Bigger Life - Louise O'Neill
|

|
'Eat Pray Love for the Hinge era' – The Sunday Times Style What happens when you stop trying to be the woman everyone wants you to be, and start asking what you want instead? At 38, Louise O’Neill had the life she thought she wanted. The relationship. The home. The future. Then it all ended, taking with it not only the life she had built, but her certainty about what a successful, happy life was supposed to look like. Heartbroken but restless, Louise decided not to rebuild the same life all over again. Inspired by her father’s advice to go out and live a bigger life, she began saying yes. To risk. To desire. To adventure. To the possibility that there might be another way to live. What followed was an extraordinary dating odyssey across Paris, London and New York, meeting a different man each night. The stories are outrageous, intimate and frequently hilarious, but the men are only the beginning. Because as Louise steps outside the life she thought she was supposed to want, she begins to question the rules that got her there in the first place. Why are women still taught to make themselves smaller, easier and more pliable to be loved? Why are we so frightened of ageing? How do we measure success when marriage and motherhood are no longer inevitable milestones? What has modern dating done to intimacy? And what does it mean to desire men at a moment when masculinity itself feels increasingly contested? Turning her trademark sharp, fearless eye on ageing, beauty, sex, motherhood, modern masculinity, loneliness, ambition and the pressure to settle, Louise examines the contradictions of being a woman today while implicating herself in every one of them. Fearlessly honest, fiercely intelligent and laugh-out-loud funny, A Bigger Life is a memoir about what happens when you stop shrinking yourself to fit the life you’ve been given and asks us all to reflect on the question at the heart of the book: What does it really mean to live a bigger life? Readers can't resist falling in love with this extraordinary book: 'A groundbreaking shift in how we talk about women, love and relationships’ – Marian Keyes 'Beautifully written with generosity, candour, intelligence and wit. A Bigger Life reminds us all that hope exists, if we are brave enough to open our hearts to finding it' – Elizabeth Day '[This book is] so fierce, and so tender! There's so much compassion there, it's utterly captivating, profound and it's very, very funny' – Daisy Buchanan About the author Louise O’Neill is the bestselling and multi-award-winning author of Only Ever Yours, Asking For It, Almost Love, and Idol. Known for her sharp, fearless feminist writing, she has become one of the most important voices in contemporary Irish literature. Her work has been widely praised for its bold social commentary and emotional depth. A Bigger Life is her first full-length memoir. |
94. All In - Peter O'Mahony
|
|||
|
THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER 'Powerful' Irish Independent ‘Superb … authentic and compelling’ Denis Walsh, Irish Times ‘One of the greatest warriors this country has ever produced. It’s absolutely terrific.’ Brendan O’Connor, RTÉ Radio One -- During a golden era of success for Irish rugby, Peter O'Mahony stood out as the player who most fully embodied the traditional values of the game. Now, in his autobiography, Peter gives us a brilliantly detailed and searching account of the forces that made him who he is: his parents, his beloved Granny Conroy, his club, his school, and the magnificent rugby pedigree of his province. And he traces his evolution as a player, leader and human being across a decade and a half at the highest levels of the game, under coaches including Declan Kidney, Anthony Foley, Rassie Erasmus, Joe Schmidt and Andy Farrell. As an international, Peter was central to Ireland’s greatest ever era. His account of the management methods of Schmidt and Farrell provides remarkable insight into how and why rugby teams succeed or fail. Peter writes about how the Munster teams he played in struggled to live up to the standard set by the group that won two Heineken Cups, and his account of the few months in which he went from feeling unwanted by Munster to being named captain of Ireland is extraordinarily dramatic and revealing. All In is everything that Peter was as a player: frank, combative, self-critical, wholehearted and first-rate. --- ‘Revealing and absorbing … refreshingly candid’ Donald McRae, Guardian ‘A fascinating insight into the soul of an extremist’ Joe Brolly, Irish Independent ‘O’Mahony pulled no punches in his book. It’s a riveting read.’ Irish Mail on Sunday ‘A very good read’ Alan English, The Currency 'A proper player that needs to be mentioned in the same breath as some of the greats' Will Greenwood 'Squeezes every bit of his ability into his game, empties himself every time for the cause, always shows up when it gets tough ' Ryle Nugent 'One of the best I’ve ever seen at making the dressing room feel all right' Andy Farrell 'He's the life and soul of the dressing room' Johnny Sexton |

97. The Weight of Angels - John Boyne
|

|
The life Oscar Wilde never had — reimagined by John Boyne in his most ambitious and emotionally powerful novel yet. **AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE STORY WITHIN. This deluxe hardback edition is finished with stunning gold foil.** 'The book sparkles with wit, clever inventions and twists of history.' The Times 'Exceptionally moving ... A granularly imagined, witty, hugely pleasurable read' Neel Mukherjee 'Wise, imaginative, funny, and extremely moving' Tan Twan Eng, Booker longlisted author of The House of Doors ' A richly inventive multi-media novel of literary might-have-beens' John Banville, Booker prize winner of The Sea 'A spectacularly cheeky piece of speculative fiction, gleefully celebrating the possibilities of queer genius' Patrick Gale __________ Can one rash decision prove the difference between a life well lived and a life destroyed? When the Marquis of Queensbury left his calling card at the Albemarle Club in February 1895, it bore only his name and five words: ‘For Oscar Wilde, posing Somdomite’. The famous playwright sued for libel, which led to his arrest, criminal prosecution and imprisonment. From then on, his gilded existence spiralled into public disgrace and an early death. But what if he had simply ignored the insult? Rather than dying impoverished in Paris at forty-six, what if he had lived to bear witness to the momentous events and cataclysmic changes at the start of the twentieth century, and even influence some of them? What if the second half of his life were as celebrated, dramatic and tumultuous as the first? Like Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet and Percival Everett's James , John Boyne explores one of the great what-if stories of modern literature, giving the great Anglo-Irish playwright an opportunity to take an entirely different path. Readers are loving THE WEIGHT OF ANGELS: 'Remarkable, funny and very touching’ 'Enjoyed this book so much I bought The Picture of Dorian Grey ’ 'I devoured it in just a few days. Completely transported!’ |

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING NOVEL A BARACK OBAMA READING PICK NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING RYAN GOSLING A lone astronaut. An impossible mission. An ally he never imagined. 'The most enjoyable hard SF I have read in years' GUARDIAN 'Weir's finest work to date. . . This is the one book I read last year that I am certain I can recommend to anyone, no matter who, and know they'll love it.' BRANDON SANDERSON 'If you like a lot of science in your science fiction, Andy Weir is the writer for you. . . This one has everything fans of old school SF (like me) love.' GEORGE R.R. MARTIN 'Brilliantly funny and enjoyable. One of the most plausible science fiction books I've ever read ' TIM PEAKE, astronaut ________________________________________ Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it's up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery-and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he's got to do it all alone. Or does he? An irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could imagine it, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian -- while taking us to places it never dreamed of going. ________________________________________ 'One of the most original, compelling, and fun voyages I've ever taken.' ERNEST CLINE, author of Ready Player One and Ready Player Two 'Undisputedly the best book I've read in a very, very long time. Mark my words: Project Hail Mary is destined to become a classic.' BLAKE CROUCH 'Andy Weir's brilliant Project Hail Mary ...is one of those stirring sci-fi novels about every government on Earth banding together, through science, to save civilisation from collapse. I loved it.' THE TIMES 'A suspenseful portrait of human ingenuity and resilience [that] builds to an unexpectedly moving ending. A winner.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'Weir returns with gusto . . . his writing flows naturally, and his characters and dialogue crackle with energy. With this novel, he takes his place as a genuine star in the mainstream SF world.' BOOKLIST |

100. Love on the Brain - Ali Hazelwood

' Your world is about to be rocked .' Elena Armas, author of The Spanish Love Deception 'Hopelessly, brilliantly, wonderfully romantic. I loved it even more than The Love Hypothesis, and I didn't think that was possible' Cressida McLaughlin From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis - with explosive results. Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project - a literal dream come true - Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward. Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school - archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away. But when her equipment starts to go missing and the staff ignore her, Bee could swear she sees Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas... devouring her with those eyes. The possibilities have all her neurons firing. But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there's only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do? 'Ali Hazelwood proves that science is sexy as hell , and that love can 'STEM' from the most unlikely places. She's my newest must-buy author.' Jodi Picoult ' I cannot get enough of her brand of brainy romance! Writing with an emotionally brilliant and witty pen, Hazelwood is an absolute romance powerhouse .' Christina Lauren, author of The Unhoneymooners ' Gloriously nerdy and sexy , with on-point commentary about women in STEM.' Helen Hoang, author of The Heart Principle ' Proves that STEM can be sexy! ' Red What the five star reviews are saying about The Love Hypothesis: 'Did I read this in 24 hours? Yes.' 'Funny. Snarky. Intelligent. Real.' 'If you're even slightly thinking about getting this book to read, just go a head and do it' 'Adam is just *swoon*' 'Ali Hazelwood has made herself an auto-buy author' 'It was just... perfect.' 'A heroine you will instantly fall in love with' |
