1. The Love Hypothesis - Ali Hazelwood

|
THE SUNDAY TIMES , NEW YORK TIMES AND TIKTOK SENSATION, AND SOON TO BE A PRIME ORIGINAL FILM STARRING LILI REINHART AND TOM BATEMAN! Read it before you see it with Ali Hazelwood's original swoony STEM romance novel - featuring a bonus chapter from Adam's perspective! A fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction. As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships - but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor - and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope. |

It seems, however, that his life has just taken a turn for the better when he's apprenticed to his castle's resident wizard.

Into this chaos the Storm King, the undead ruler of the elf-like Sithi, seizes the chance to regain his lost realm through a pact with the newly ascended king. Knowing the consequences of this bargain, the king's younger brother joins with a small, scattered group of scholars, the League of the Scroll, to confront the danger threatening Osten Ard.

49. Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
|
|||
|
The bestselling success book of all time—now revised and updated for the 21st century. Think and Grow Rich has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself. The most famous of all teachers of success spent "a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort" to produce the "Law of Success" philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one. In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, and consultant in human resources management and an expert in applying Hill's thought, deftly interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton, achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers. |

51. The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov
|
|||
|
An audacious revision of the stories of Faust and Pontius Pilate, The Master and Margarita is recognized as one of the essential classics of modern Russian literature. The novel's vision of Soviet life in the 1930s is so ferociously accurate that it could not be published during its author's lifetime and appeared only in a censored edition in the 1960s. Its truths are so enduring that its language has become part of the common Russian speech. One hot spring, the devil arrives in Moscow, accompanied by a retinue that includes a beautiful naked witch and an immense talking black cat with a fondness for chess and vodka. The visitors quickly wreak havoc in a city that refuses to believe in either God or Satan. But they also bring peace to two unhappy Muscovites: one is the Master, a writer pilloried for daring to write a novel about Christ and Pontius Pilate; the other is Margarita, who loves the Master so deeply that she is willing literally to go to hell for him. What ensues is a novel of inexhaustible energy, humor, and philosophical depth, a work whose nuances emerge for the first time in Diana Burgin's and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor's splendid English version. |
52. A Nation Once Again - Paul Howard
|

|
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 ‘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 ‘Hilarious’ RTÉ Guide ‘It was well worth dividing Ireland in the first place for this brilliant book.’ Declan Lynch '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 |

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 . . .

In this groundbreaking guide, leading nutritionist Sarah Ann Macklin fuses the latest science of nutrition, gut health and neuroplasticity to reveal a radical truth: self-compassion is the foundation of lasting health and happiness. Far from being indulgent, her research shows that how you speak to yourself directly alters your stress hormones, digestion and even your ability to absorb nutrients. Through a personalised three-phase plan of rituals, perspective shifts and recipes, she encourages us to develop this physiological skill, revealing: why indulgent treats might not be so bad, if we just learn to think about them differently,why dancing while we cook will improve digestion,how journalling could be more effective than calorie counting, andhow to make better choices for the right reasons, free from fear, shame or judgment. Here, at last, is a transformative approach for healthy eating habits for life. |

78. Spare - Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex
|
|||
|
A Sunday Times Memoir of the Year It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother's coffin as the world watched in sorrow-and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling-and how their lives would play out from that point on. For Harry, this is that story at last. Before losing his mother, twelve-year-old Prince Harry was known as the carefree one, the happy-go-lucky Spare to the more serious Heir. Grief changed everything. He struggled at school, struggled with anger, with loneliness-and, because he blamed the press for his mother's death, he struggled to accept life in the spotlight. At twenty-one, he joined the British Army. The discipline gave him structure, and two combat tours made him a hero at home. But he soon felt more lost than ever, suffering from post-traumatic stress and prone to crippling panic attacks. Above all, he couldn't find true love. Then he met Meghan. The world was swept away by the couple's cinematic romance and rejoiced in their fairy-tale wedding. But from the beginning, Harry and Meghan were preyed upon by the press, subjected to waves of abuse, racism, and lies. Watching his wife suffer, their safety and mental health at risk, Harry saw no other way to prevent the tragedy of history repeating itself but to flee his mother country. Over the centuries, leaving the Royal Family was an act few had dared. The last to try, in fact, had been his mother. . . . For the first time, Prince Harry tells his own story, chronicling his journey with raw, unflinching honesty. A landmark publication, Spare is full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief. |

The classic bestseller from the star of Parts Unknown and No Reservations: 25th Anniversary edition, with a new introduction by Irvine Welsh. THE MAN BEHIND THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE, TONY, STARRING DOMINIC SESSA & EMILIA JONES. 'More gripping than a Stephen King novel' Sunday Times 'Bawdy, bolshie and bursting with energy' Daily Mail 'Nothing will be as sustaining and classic as this book' A. A. Gill After twenty-five years of sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine, chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain decided to tell all – and he meant all. From his first oyster in the Gironde as a child, to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown; from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop the Rockefeller Center to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, as shocking as they are funny. In the twenty-five years since it was first published, Kitchen Confidential has become a modern classic for its uncensored, razor-sharp insight into the restaurant kitchen at boiling point. 'Rarely has a book been seized upon by a profession as the true gospel in such a manner' Jay Rayner 'Extraordinary … written with a clarity and a clear-eyed wit to put the professional food-writing fraternity to shame' Observer |

**WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE** **THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** 'A slim, profound study of intimate human fears set against epic vistas' GUARDIAN 'Stunning... An uplifting book' SUNDAY TIMES Life on our planet as you've never seen it before A team of astronauts in the International Space Station collect meteorological data, conduct scientific experiments and test the limits of the human body. But mostly they observe. Together they watch their silent blue planet, circling it sixteen times, spinning past continents and cycling through seasons, taking in glaciers and deserts, the peaks of mountains and the swells of oceans. Endless shows of spectacular beauty witnessed in a single day. Yet although separated from the world they cannot escape its constant pull. News reaches them of the death of a mother, and with it comes thoughts of returning home. They look on as a typhoon gathers over an island and people they love, in awe of its magnificence and fearful of its destruction. The fragility of human life fills their conversations, their fears, their dreams. So far from earth, they have never felt more part - or protective - of it. They begin to ask, what is life without earth? What is earth without humanity? 'Our unanimity about Orbital recognises its beauty and ambition. It reflects Harvey’s extraordinary intensity of attention to the precious and precarious world we share' Edmund de Waal, Chair of the 2024 Booker Prize judges *A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR THE GUARDIAN , SUNDAY TIMES , FINANCIAL TIMES , NEW STATESMAN , SPECTATOR , DAILY MAIL AND MAIL ON SUNDAY * |

85. The Shards - Bret Easton Ellis
|

|
The Sunday Times Bestseller 'A full-spectrum triumph' Guardian A sensational new novel from the bestselling author of Less Than Zero and American Psycho that tracks a group of privileged Los Angeles high school friends as a serial killer strikes across the city. His first novel in 13 years, The Shards is Bret Easton Ellis at his inimitable best. LA, 1981. Buckley College in heat. 17-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends, even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Bret's obsession with Mallory is equalled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with The Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting them with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence. Can he trust his friends – or his own mind – to make sense of the danger they appear to be in? Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by unhealthy fixations, Bret spirals into paranoia and isolation as the relationship between The Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles inexorably toward a collision. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply haunting and often darkly funny, The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing of fact and fiction that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric of Bret's life at 17 – sex and jealousy, obsession and murderous rage. |
86. In Nigeria - Michael Palin
|
|||
|
With his eightieth birthday looming, it crossed Michael Palin’s mind that now might be the time to hang up his boots, to lounge about at home, to take things easy. Then the opportunity to visit Africa’s most populous nation arose. A few weeks later, he was at Lagos airport, camera crew in tow. The journal he kept during his trip offers a fascinatingly kaleidoscopic view of a country where some 500 languages are spoken and which contains within its borders everything from tropical rainforests to grasslands to desert plains. At one moment he is in vibrant but chaotic Lagos, the next in the seemingly deserted streets of Nigeria’s hyper-modern capital, Abuja, the next in the polluted oil fields of the Niger Delta. He is welcomed as an honoured guest by a powerful emir and harangued by a passerby in Benin City. He hears the testimony of a kidnap victim of the terrorist group Boko Haram and experiences the collective spiritual ecstasy of one of Nigeria’s mega churches. And throughout his trip, he experiences at first hand the contradictions of a country that has so much natural wealth and human talent and yet simultaneously grapples with corruption, religious strife and deep inequality. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs taken on the trip, and brimming with wry humour and fascinating insights, this is a vivid and varied portrait of a complex country. |

Durante oito meses, Tamara Klink viveu sozinha num pequeno veleiro preso no mar congelado do Ártico Groenlandês. Depois de uma longa preparação e de atravessar o oceano desviando de icebergs, ela ancorou em um fiorde escuro sem saber se estava pronta para o que iria encontrar. O que acontece quando ficamos sozinhos, sem ter para quem sorrir? Quando passamos longos dias sem ver o Sol? Quando somos o ser vivo menos apto a sobreviver no lugar onde estamos? Depois de se tornar a pessoa mais jovem da América Latina a cruzar o Atlântico em solitário, a navegadora e escritora Tamara Klink se lançou numa nova navegação: em vez de atravessar o espaço, dessa vez atravessaria o tempo. Isolada em um fiorde na Groenlândia na época mais fria do ano, ela pôde observar o inverno polar transformar o mar em terra e os dias em noites infinitas. Em Bom dia, inverno , os leitores são convidados a conhecer de perto os perigos e as alegrias dessa viagem extremamente arriscada. Nessa experiência de isolamento radical, em meio a auroras boreais e visitas inesperadas de raposas, focas e outros animais selvagens, o silêncio se torna palco para reflexões profundas sobre a liberdade, a cultura, o futuro do planeta e o modo como escolhemos viver. |

100. The Matter With Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions and the Unmaking of the World - Iain McGilchrist
|
|||
|
Is the world essentially inert and mechanical - nothing but a collection of things for us to use? Are we ourselves nothing but the playthings of chance, embroiled in a war of all against all? Why, indeed, are we engaged in destroying everything that is valuable to us? In his international bestseller, The Master and his Emissary, McGilchrist demonstrated that each brain hemisphere provides us with a radically different 'take' on the world, and used this insight to deliver a fresh understanding of the main turning points in the history of Western civilisation. Twice before, in ancient Greece and Rome, the perception that evolved in the left hemisphere, which empowered us to manipulate the world, had ultimately come to eclipse the much more sophisticated take of the right hemisphere, which enabled us to understand it. On each occasion this heralded the collapse of a civilisation. And now it was happening for a third, and possibly last, time. In this landmark new book, Iain McGilchrist addresses some of the oldest and hardest questions humanity faces - ones that, however, have a practical urgency for all of us today. Who are we? What is the world? How can we understand consciousness, matter, space and time? Is the cosmos without purpose or value? Can we really neglect the sacred and divine? In doing so, he argues that we have become enslaved to an account of things dominated by the brain's left hemisphere, one that blinds us to an awe-inspiring reality that is all around us, had we but eyes to see it. He suggests that in order to understand ourselves and the world we need science and intuition, reason and imagination, not just one or two; that they are in any case far from being in conflict; and that the brain's right hemisphere plays the most important part in each. And he shows us how to recognise the 'signature' of the left hemisphere in our thinking, so as to avoid making decisions that bring disaster in their wake. Following the paths of cutting-edge neurology, philosophy and physics, he reveals how each leads us to a similar vision of the world, one that is both profound and beautiful - and happens to be in line with the deepest traditions of human wisdom. It is a vision that returns the world to life, and us to a better way of living in it: one we must embrace if we are to survive. This ebook contains both Volumes I and II.
