Wyld Magic (Stand Alone Tales Book 22)
Hiding from those who thought she was an empty vessel, Bethany has landed a job as a host at a retreat for expectant couples. Magical couples. Her first clients are trolls.Bethany has spent her life running from her birth family. They summoned a star and expected her to gleam with power. She still registered as magical, but they decided that if she wasn’t manifesting, they would get the power out of the next generation, and they attempted an arranged marriage. She ran. She has been running ever since.
Finding a job was a trick that she had to figure out, but once she learned how to get past the resume and first scan, she was in. Understanding what people needed and helping them settle was easy. Saving up enough to stop living in her car was tricky.
While under attack, she calls an old friend. A being of light and luck who deters her attackers and gets her and her car to safety. She is swept into a world of magic and finance, where she can take on her original name and try to forget the kijin who she paid to hide it and the price that he had accepted for the spell.Read more

William Tyndale and the English Language
‘Dearly beloved’, ‘say the word’, ‘the powers that be’, ‘for ever and ever’ – these familiar phrases and many more were set down in print for the first time by William Tyndale. For his groundbreaking English translation of the Bible, he deliberately chose to write in a way that could be understood by the widest possible audience.
In the first half of this pioneering exploration of the extraordinary impact Tyndale’s writing had on the development of the English language, David Crystal provides an analysis of his prose style, demonstrating its character as a novel genre of ‘written speech’, and bringing to light the remarkable number of cases where Tyndale is the first recorded user of a word or phrase in English. He also draws attention to the hitherto unrecognised role of Tyndale as an early lexicographer. The second half of the book is a linguistic detective story, devising an innovative lexical and grammatical metric to investigate the often-stated claim that eighty per cent of later biblical translations display Tyndale’s influence.
The result is a fascinating exploration of the work of the Father of the English Bible.

How to Talk to AI: (And How Not To)
*Featured in BBC’s Books to Read in 2026*
Knowing how to speak to AI – and how not to – is a skill that everyone now needs. This book will help the reader understand how to make the most of these incredible new technologies, without succumbing to new powers of manipulation and control.
Hundreds of millions of people now talk to AI like ChatGPT every day. They organise their finances and holidays, ask advice, seek therapy and find love – via machines. Almost overnight, chatbots are transforming society, politics and business.
This is one of the biggest and fastest technological changes in history – but most people still don’t really understand how AI works, how to make the most of it – or what the dangers are. As some people use it to turbo-charge their productivity at work, others are falling into dangerous conspiracies, delusions and psychosis.
In How to Talk to AI, tech commentator Jamie Bartlett takes the reader inside the machine: showing how we can stay in control of our powerful new companions, even as they are changing the way we live, feel, and think.

Everyone in the village said nothing good would come of Gabriel’s return. And as Beth looks at the man she loves on trial for murder, she can’t help thinking they were right.
Beth was seventeen when she first met Gabriel. Over that heady, intense summer, he made her think and feel and see differently. She thought it was the start of her great love story. When Gabriel left to become the person his mother expected him to be, she was broken.
It was Frank who picked up the pieces and together they built a home very different from the one she’d imagined with Gabriel. Watching her husband and son, she remembered feeling so sure that, after everything, this was the life she was supposed to be leading.
But when Gabriel comes back, all Beth’s certainty about who she is and what she wants crumbles. Even after ten years, their connection is instant. She knows it’s wrong and she knows people could get hurt. But how can she resist a second chance at first love?

It is 1987, and in the aftermath of a great storm, Cora sets out with her nine-year-old daughter to register the birth of her son. Her husband intends for her to follow a long-standing family tradition and call the baby after him. But when faced with the decision, Cora hesitates. Going against his wishes is a risk that will have consequences, but is it right for her child to inherit his name from generations of domineering men? The choice she makes in this moment will shape the course of their lives.
Seven years later, her son is Bear, a name chosen by his sister, and one that will prove as cataclysmic as the storm from which it emerged. Or he is Julian, the name his mother set her heart on, believing it will enable him to become his own person. Or he is Gordon, named after his father and raised in his cruel image – but is there still a chance to break the mould?
Powerfully moving and full of hope, this is the story of three names, three versions of a life, and the infinite possibilities that a single decision can spark. It is the story of one family, and love’s endless capacity to endure, no matter what fate has in store.
