This might be Elizabeth Strout’s best yet’ CLARE CHAMBERS Artie Dam is a man with a secret. He spends his days teaching history to high schoolers, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbours, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad—at himself and the people around him—and turns a question over and over in his mind: how is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us? And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear—and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence. With exquisite prose and profound insight, Elizabeth Strout captures the way grief reverberates through decades, the comfort found in deep friendships and the freedom that comes when we break free of our secrets.

George Palmer-Jones, an elderly birdwatcher who decided quietly to look into the brutal crime, discovered mixed feelings aplenty.

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 . . .

Schwab, known for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, proposed an absurd idea to longtime friend and screenwriter Cat Clarke: that they should write a book together. Victoria had made quite a name for herself, but had sworn she’d never co-write a novel. While Cat, following a tumultuous career as an editor and the author of several YA novels, including Girlhood and Entangled, had fled the publishing industry to work in the even more tumultuous film industry, swearing she’d never return to books. And yet, fate – and an irresistible idea – made liars of them both. That night, Evelyn Clarke was born. |

Every fifty years, the gates between them open, and fifty challengers are allowed to journey across Starside on a deadly quest for magic that can heal, grant wealth or extend life.

A rich, immersive, funny and heartbreaking memoir of the charming bookseller who runs three tiny bookshops in the remote village of Manapouri in Fiordland, in the deep south of New Zealand. 'An extraordinary story.' Shaun Bythell, The Diary of a Bookseller Ruth Shaw weaves together stories of the characters who visit her bookshops, musings about favourite books, and bittersweet stories from her full and varied life. She's sailed through the Pacific for years, been held up by pirates, worked at Sydney's Kings Cross with drug addicts and prostitutes, campaigned on numerous environmental issues, and worked the yacht Breaksea Girl with her husband, Lance. Underlining all her wanderings and adventures are some very deep losses and long-held pain. Balancing that out is her beautiful love story with Lance, and her delightful sense of humour. This will make you weep and make you laugh and make you want to read more books - and make you want to visit Ruth and her two wee bookshops. ' Shaw's writing is pragmatic and restrained; her voice is so strong and assured that when grief appears you gasp at its intrusion and your heart stops a second. ' Alexa Dretzke, Readings Hawthorn 'Amazing! ' Jack Tame, Newstalk ZB 'A fascinating, funny and moving story.' Nicky Pellegrino, New Zealand Woman's Weekly 'Shaw can write about these peaks and troughs [of her life] without a skerrick of maudlin introspection or mawkishness. Battered and emotionally bruised, she marches on. In a word, dauntless, and it's exactly this quality that makes this memoir so readable.' Chris Moore, NZ Listener 'Utterly charming and filled with equal measures of heartbreak and humour, Ruth Shaw's memoir will have you booking the first flight to New Zealand to share a cup of tea at her Wee Bookshops. Shaw has been a cook, a nurse, sailor and world traveller, and endured immeasurable loss. But with Lance, the love of her life, Shaw has found her place bookselling in Fiordland. 'Booksellers' Choice Australia 'Compelling. Shaw tells her own story free of over-sentimentality or self-pity; she's straightforward, frequently humorous... Her resilience, optimism and willingness to help others is to be admired; her remarkable story is to be read and reflected upon as it adds another vital perspective to a NZ life.'

A ground-breaking series, it has established Mark Lawrence as one of the most exciting new voices in modern speculative fiction. Reviews ‘An excellent writer’ George R.R. Martin ‘Dark, passionate, tense, with a female hero anyone could relate to–I was utterly fascinated! This is no pretty, flowery tale, but one of vastly different people struggling to survive when a hostile government comes to power’ #1 New York Times bestselling author Tamora Pierce ‘This is a book very distinct from everything that came before; what it has in common though is a narrative that pulls no punches, and characters that are beautifully, brokenly, repellently, cleverly human’ Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews ‘I had never thought it was possible to find a greater character than the Emperor Jorg Ancrath. I had never even slightly considered that there might be a fantasy world out there toppling that of Τhe Final Empire, and most definitely, I had never thought that I could love a book more than The Night Angel. But here we are’ BookNest ‘Any other author is going to have to smack the ball way, way out of the park to top this read’ Parmenion Books About the author Mark Lawrence was born in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, to British parents but moved to the UK at the age of one. He went back to the US after taking a PhD in mathematics at Imperial College to work on a variety of research projects including the ‘Star Wars’ missile defence programme. Returning to the UK, he has worked mainly on image processing and decision/reasoning theory. He says he never had any ambition to be a writer so was very surprised when a half-hearted attempt to find an agent turned into a global publishing deal overnight. His first trilogy, The Broken Empire, has been universally acclaimed as a ground-breaking work of fantasy, and both The Liar’s Key and The Wheel of Osheim have won the Gemmell Legend award for best fantasy novel.

She wants a baby. He wants a family. They hate each other. A snowstorm and one very bad idea later—here they are. Allison Styles has waited her whole life to be a mom. But after a marriage to a cheater, a divorce that drained her savings, starting over in Fairwick Falls, and an *epic* sperm bank disaster…she's running out of time and options to have a baby.  After an ice storm traps them in Bloom, an unthinkable offer comes from the one man in Fairwick Falls she hates.  The only man she'd willingly push in front of a bus (if Fairwick Falls had buses)—Wells Maroo, a smug, handsome divorce lawyer whose only redeeming quality is his ability to make Allison's 6 foot height feel dainty.   Wells Maroo is back in Fairwick Falls to fix the diner he bought on impulse, while dodging the 6 foot goddess he despises. Being around his mom and Pop 24/7, Wells finally admits what he wants: a kid. A family. Roots. When no surrogate agency will touch an anti-marriage, single, overworked lawyer, Wells makes Allison an offer that's reckless, inappropriate, and impossible to ignore.  Use their undeniable physical attraction to make a baby. The old-fashioned way.  No dating. No love.  No future entanglements beyond shared custody, financial security, and a very clear contract.  Forever. |

Molly Henderson drove up to Paradise Valley for forty-eight hours to sell her uncle's cabin and drive back to her bar in Livingston by Saturday night. Instead she found Sawyer Wrangel on the roof, replacing shingles like he belonged there. Which, inconveniently, he does. Cal rented him the cabin six months ago. Sawyer has a lease through February, a truck under the cottonwoods, and no intention of moving because the woman with the U-Haul and the temper says she has plans. Molly owns The Bad Penny, a Livingston bar held together by regulars, stubbornness, and whatever she can still fix with her own two hands. Sawyer is a former fire-jumper who walked out of last year's season and landed in Paradise Valley because quiet looked better than smoke. She picks a fight instead of asking a question. He says he is fine about the one thing he is not fine about. By the time the first frost hits and the cabin's single bed starts making decisions for them, neither of them is operating on the plan they brought. Bar Fight is Paradise Valley book three: autumn weather, one-bed tension, bar-owner competence, and four explicit scenes for readers of Kristen Ashley, Maisey Yates, and Lauren Landish. |

He's a Hellhound shifter— a creature of fire, instinct, and violence… And the MC is the only thing keeping the beast on a leash. Until her. Lux Moretti is chaos wrapped in temptation—LA nights, fast money, and trouble that never stays buried. When her world turns dangerous, she runs. Straight into the last place she should be. Alaska. Him. Snowed in. Trapped. No escape from the tension tightening between them. And for the first time in years… Fury's control starts to crack. Because Lux doesn't just tempt him— She awakens him. But Lux didn't come alone. A ruthless enemy is closing in. Something darker is watching. And the closer it gets… The more the Hellhound inside Fury rises. The MC gave him rules. Gave him control.

He crashes from the sky in a blaze of light. She sees it. He doesn't remember a thing. Lily hasn't spoken to another human in five years. After the people she loved most shattered her trust, she vanished into the Alaskan mountains and built a life where no one can touch her again. A tiny shack. A rifle. The silence. That's all she needs. Until the night the sky splits open. She follows the falling light and finds him, a gorgeous, wounded man half-buried in snow, surrounded by wolves circling for the kill. She knows he didn't just "get lost." Men don't fall from the heavens. But he doesn't remember who he is… or what he used to be. Lily drags him back to her shack, strips off his frozen clothes, and warms him with her own body. She tells herself it's survival. Only survival. But the way he groans at her touch— The way his hands find her hips even in his restless sleep— The way he watches her with raw, hungry fascination once he wakes… Nothing about this is innocent. Prophet may not remember his name, but his body remembers her. Her scent. Her skin. Her voice—rough from years of silence—stirring something deep and primal inside him. He doesn't know he was once an angel. He doesn't know he served the Kings of Anarchy MC as their quiet, lethal Chaplain. He doesn't know something ruthless is tracking him across the mountains. But Lily does. Because tucked inside the snow where she found him was his cut. A heavy leather marked with a name he doesn't recognize and a club she's only heard whispers about. She hid it. She hasn't told him. She's not sure she should. But when the danger hunting him finally reaches her remote mountains… When it threatens the fragile connection growing between them… Lily knows she might have only one choice left: Reveal the truth. Reveal the cut. And pray the Kings of Anarchy can save him— before she loses the man who fell into her arms like he was made for her. He doesn't know his past. But he's about to make Lily his future. From USA Today Best-Selling Author Kathleen Kelly. Book 3 in the Kings of Anarchy MC Alaska series, Property of Prophet, arrives in 2026—delivering a sinful mix of danger, desire, and supernatural heat as a fallen angel with no memory crashes into a mountain woman's world of ice and isolation. |

When a bus crashed on a school trip, five people were killed and she became a paraplegic, her sporting dreams in tatters. Now an award-winning radio reporter, in this engaging, uplifting and at times hilarious memoir she looks back at the angry, defiant, risk-taking younger self who used alcohol and arrogance to mask physical pain and trauma. And, for the first time in 40 years, she also looks squarely at the accident. As she explores what happened, and acknowledges that the bus crash also devastated other lives, she comes to understand why she was so driven to escape the confines of her wheelchair and she counts her blessings. |

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 |
