  • Kill Switch: 3 (Devil’s Night)

    08
    “I’ve done far worse than what I went to prison for. She has no idea how bad this can get.” WINTER Sending him to prison was the worst thing I could’ve done. It didn’t matter that he did the crime or that I wished he was dead. Perhaps I thought I’d have time to disappear before he got out or he’d cool off in jail and be anything but the horror he was. But I was wrong. Three years came and went too fast, and now he’s anything but calm. Prison only gave him time to plan. And while I anticipated his vengeance, I didn’t expect this. He doesn’t want to make me hurt. He wants to make everything hurt. DAMON First thing’s first. Get rid of her daddy. He told them I forced her. He told them his little girl was a victim, but I was a kid, too, and she wanted it just as much as I did. Step two… Give her, her sister, and her mother nowhere to run and no fuel to escape. The Ashby women are alone now and desperate for a knight in shining armor. But that’s not what’s coming. No, it’s time I listened to my father and took control of my future. It’s time I showed them all—my family, her family, my friends—that I will never change and that I have no other ambition than to be the nightmare of their lives. Starting with her. She’ll be so scared, she won’t even be safe in her own head by the time I’m done with her. And the best part is I won’t have to break into her home to do it. As the new man of the house I have all the keys.*Kill Switch is the third installment in the Devil’s Night series. It is strongly recommended to read Corrupt (Devil’s Night #1) and Hideaway (Devil’s Night #2) prior to reading this book.

  • Mona of the Manor (Tales of the City, 10)

    The tenth novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin’s best-selling San Francisco saga.
    ____________________

    When Mona Ramsey married Lord Teddy Roughton to secure his visa―allowing him to remain in San Francisco to fulfil his wildest dreams―she never imagined she would, by age 48, be the sole owner of Easley House, a romantic country manor in the UK. Now, with her adopted son, Wilfred, Mona has opened Easley’s doors to paying guests to keep her inherited English manor afloat.

    As they welcome a married American couple to Easley, Mona and Wilfred discover their new guests’ terrible secret. Instead of focussing on the imminent arrival of old friend Michael Tolliver and matriarch Anna Madrigal, Mona will need to use her considerable charm, willpower and wiles to set things right before Easley’s historic Midsummer ceremony.

    Hurdling barriers both social and sexual, Maupin leads the eccentric tenants of Barbary Lane through heartbreak and triumph, through nail-biting terrors and gleeful coincidences in 1980s San Francisco and beyond. The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers.

  • Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands (Emily Wilde Series)

    ‘Forget dark academia: give me instead this kind of winter-sunshined, sharp-tongued and footnoted academia, full of field trips and grumpy romance’ Freya Marske, author of A Marvellous Light

    An intrepid professor must uncover faerie secrets in the delightful and heart-warming second instalment of the Sunday Times bestselling Emily Wilde series.

    Emily Wilde is a genius scholar of faerie folklore, and has catalogued many secrets of the Hidden Folk in her encyclopaedia with her infuriatingly charming fellow scholar, Wendell Bambleby, by her side.

    But Bambleby is more than just a brilliant and unbearably handsome scholar. He’s an exiled faerie king on the run from his murderous mother, in search of a door back to his realm.

    By lucky happenstance, Emily’s new project, a map of the realms of faerie, will take them on an adventure to the picturesque Austrian Alps, where Emily believes they may find the door to Bambleby’s realm, and the key to freeing him from his family’s dark plans.

    But with new friendships for the prickly Emily to navigate and dangerous Folk lurking in every forest and hollow, Emily must unravel the mysterious workings of faerie doors, and of her own heart.

    Praise for this series:

    ‘A darkly gorgeous fantasy that sparkles with snow and magic, this book wholly enchanted me’ Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

    ‘A thoroughly charming academic fairy tale, complete with footnotes and a low-key grumpy romance’ Guardian

    ‘Enchanting in every sense of the word. . . This book is real magic’ H. G. Parry, author of The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep

    ‘A book so vividly, endlessly enchanting, so crisply assured, so rich and complete and wise and far-reaching in its worldbuilding that you’ll walk away half ensorcelled, sure Fawcett found Emily Wilde’s journal in some sea-stained trunk’ Melissa Albert

    ‘The ideal book to curl up with on a chilly winter’s evening. . . this book is an absolute delight.’ Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy

    ‘A charmingly whimsical delight. . . Five dazzling, gladdening stars’ India Holton, author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels

  • America Fantastica: A Novel

    “Tim O’Brien is the one American author whose works I look forward to the most. His new novel’s ironic depiction of a post-Iraq war, mid-COVID, and mid-Trump world is piercing and razor-sharp.” —HARUKI MURAKAMI

    An American Master returns: the author of The Things They Carried delivers his first new novel in two decades, a brilliant and rollicking odyssey, in which a bank robbery sparks “a satirical romp through a country plagued by deceit” (Kirkus, starred review)

    Named one of Fall 2023’s most anticipated books: New York Times, Associated Press, Esquire, Kirkus, Goodreads, LitHub, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and more

    At 11:34 a.m. one Saturday in August 2019, Boyd Halverson strode into Community National Bank in Northern California.

    “How much is on hand, would you say?” he asked the teller. “I’ll want it all.”

    “You’re robbing me?”

    He revealed a Temptation .38 Special.

    The teller, a diminutive redhead named Angie Bing, collected eighty-one thousand dollars.

    Boyd stuffed the cash into a paper grocery bag.

    “I’m sorry about this,” he said, “but I’ll have to ask you to take a ride with me.”

    So begins the adventure of Boyd Halverson—star journalist turned notorious online disinformation troll turned JCPenney manager—and his irrepressible hostage, Angie Bing. Haunted by his past and weary of his present, Boyd has one goal before the authorities catch up with him: settle a score with the man who destroyed his life. By Monday the pair reach Mexico; by winter, they are in a lakefront mansion in Minnesota. On their trail are hitmen, jealous lovers, ex-cons, an heiress, a billionaire shipping tycoon, a three-tour veteran of Iraq, and the ghosts of Boyd’s past. Everyone, it seems, except the police.

    In the tradition of Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain, America Fantastica delivers a biting, witty, and entertaining story about the causes and costs of outlandish fantasy, while also marking the triumphant return of an essential voice in American letters. And at the heart of the novel, amid a teeming cast of characters, readers will delight in the tug-of-war between two memorable and iconic human beings—the exuberant savior-of-souls Angie Bing and the penitent but compulsive liar Boyd Halverson. Just as Tim O’Brien’s modern classic, The Things They Carried, so brilliantly reflected the unromantic truth of war, America Fantastica puts a mirror to a nation and a time that has become dangerously unmoored from truth and greedy for delusion.

    ‘DS George Cross shot to the top of my favourites when I first encountered him. The Teacher shows him at his best.’ MARI HANNAH
    ‘Starts with a bang and then continues to deliver all the way to the thrilling end.’ IMRAN MAHMOOD
    ‘George Cross is becoming one of my favourite detectives.’ ELLY GRIFFITHS

    He’s a victim. But is he innocent?

    THE BODY
    In a village in South West England, an elderly man is found dead in his home. The angle of his neck says he fell down the stairs. The stab wound on his body tells a different story.

    THE EVIDENCE
    In the weeks before his murder, Alistair Moreton changed. He usually kept himself to himself, but people swear there was someone in the house when they checked on him, that there was a reason he wouldn’t let them inside.

    THE PUNISHMENT
    Moreton made people’s lives a misery, from his neighbours to his ex-pupils. While DS George Cross’s list of suspects is long, every victim deserves justice.

    But in all of Alistair’s years, there was something important he never learned:

    If you go through life making enemies, don’t be surprised when they teach you a lesson.

    Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, The Teacher is part of the DS George Cross thriller series, which can be read in any order.

    ‘George Cross is in a class of his own.’ SIMON TOYNE

    Why readers love George Cross . . .

  • The Pet Gundog: A common sense approach to training your gundog

    08

    The Pet Gundog

    (Please note: The sequence of books is The Pet Gundog Puppy OR The Pet Gundog, followed by The Advanced Pet Gundog.)

    Revised and updated, this is the all-encompassing foundation guide for living with and training your gundog.

    Written for all of those gundog owners with dogs over five months of age, The Pet Gundog not only introduces you to the psychology of the dog, but offers practical training and behaviour advice on how to achieve harmony in your mixed – species pack, both in the home and whilst out and about.

    Focussed on building a relationship with your dog that is based on trust and common sense, The Pet Gundog covers training exercises that enable you to walk out with a dog you can be proud to take anywhere, as well as behaviour changing techniques that help you develop a well-mannered and relaxed dog at home; after all, who wants to live with a bolshie, bad mannered gundog?

    A toe-dipping foray into the world of shooting gives you an insight into what your dog has been bred for, and the foundation for all gundog training is covered in detail, as well as…

    • Optimum health and wellbeing
    • Socialisation for the adult dog
    • Age appropriate training
    • Foundation training
    • Upping the Ante for the novice pet gundog
    • Bringing home a part – trained or rescue gundog
    • Gundog games
    • Training challenges

    If you want to take advantage of your gundog’s innate behaviour so that walks become a pleasure, your home stays intact and you have a happy, contented and fulfilled companion, then The Pet Gundog needs to be on your bookshelf.

    Author’s note :

    If your puppy hasn’t reached the adolescent stage, and by that I mean he’s under four and a half months old, then do yourself a favour and go for The Pet Gundog Puppy rather than this book as The Pet Gundog has been written with dogs over 5 months in mind.

  • The Star Wars Archives. 1999–2005. 40th Ed.

    05

    From the moment Star Wars burst onto the screen in 1977, audiences have been in equal parts fascinated and appalled by the half-man/half-machine hybrid Darth Vader. In 1999, creator George Lucas began the story of how Anakin Skywalker grew up to train as a Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, found love with the Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, before turning to the dark side of his nature and becoming more machine than man.

    After driving the development of nascent digital technology, George Lucas perceived how he could create new creatures and new worlds on a grander scale than ever before. He created the first digital blockbuster, and met fierce resistance when he pushed for widespread digital cameras, sets, characters, and projection – all of which are now used throughout the industry. He essentially popularized the modern way of making movies.

    Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and Lucasfilm, this second volume covers the making of the prequel trilogy ― Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II Attack of the Clones, and Episode III Revenge of the Sith ― and features exclusive interviews with Lucas and his collaborators. The book is profusely illustrated with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters.

  • Hidden History: a compelling and captivating study of the causes of WW1 that turns everything you think you know on its head

    03

    Think you know about British history and the causes of the First World War? Think again. This fascinating and gripping study of events at the turn of the Twentieth Century is a remarkable insight into how political and social factors that we widely accept to be the causes of The Great War, were really just a construct put together by a very small, but powerful, political elite…

    ‘Thought-provoking . . . Docherty and Macgregor do not mince their words . . . their arguments are powerful’ — Britain at War
    ‘Simply astonishing’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘Very illuminating’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘You simply MUST read this book’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘This is a page-turner’ — ***** Reader review
    ***********************************************************************************
    Hidden History uniquely exposes those responsible for the First World War. It reveals how accounts of the war’s origins have been deliberately falsified to conceal the guilt of the secret cabal of very rich and powerful men in London responsible for the most heinous crime perpetrated on humanity. For ten years, they plotted the destruction of Germany as the first stage of their plan to take control of the world. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was no chance happening. It lit a fuse that had been carefully set through a chain of command stretching from Sarajevo through Belgrade and St Petersburg to that cabal in London.

    Our understanding of these events has been firmly trapped in a web of falsehood and duplicity carefully constructed by the victors at Versailles in 1919 and maintained by compliant historians ever since. The official version is fatally flawed, warped by the volume of evidence they destroyed or concealed from public view.

    Hidden History poses a tantalising challenge. The authors ask only that you examine the evidence they lay before you . . .

  • Queen Elizabeth II: A Celebration of Her Life and Reign in Pictures (BBC Books)

    08

    An official BBC book that celebrates the life of Queen Elizabeth II through photographs, some rarely seen, drawn largely from archives of the BBC.

    The longest-reigning monarch in British history, Queen Elizabeth II has been at the centre of British life for almost a century. She’s led a very public life, seen by millions through photographs, film and television, from the time of her birth in 1926 to the final years of her reign. The embodiment of Britain, she has been a constant, knowledgeable presence in our politics and culture since she came to the throne in 1952.

    This book celebrates the life of Queen Elizabeth II through photographs and still images, drawn largely from the archives of the BBC, an organisation that received its royal charter only one year after she was born. From her earliest days and first moments of public life, to her Platinum Jubilee and the weddings of her children and grandchildren, this is a lavish tribute to the most public of monarchs, an iconic figure in the hearts and minds of millions throughout the world.

  • Uncrowned: Royal Heirs Who Didn’t Take the Throne

    Through the centuries, succession to the English throne has largely been dictated by blood. Children were born to the role, their destinies entwined with that of the nation. They would be raised with the expectation that they would eventually take their place on the throne and rule the land. But not all those expected to wear the crown completed this journey. Ashley Mantle explores the lives of several heirs apparent, from the Norman Conquest to the present day, who were destined to assume the throne of England but, for one reason or another, did not. You will meet such figures as Robert Curthose, eldest son of William the Conqueror, whose ineptitude saw him twice barred from the crown; Edward V, whose disappearance in 1483 still remains a mystery; Lady Jane Grey, the tragic Nine Days Queen; and Sophia, Electress of Hanover, who died months before her accession. Along the way we will explore the nature of rule to determine what was expected of an heir and how an heir was groomed in preparation for their ascent, as well as how the rules surrounding the succession have changed over the centuries.

  • Queen of Our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II

    07

    A Sunday Times Book of the Year

    Queen Of Our Times is the definitive biography of Queen Elizabeth II by one of Britain’s leading royal authorities, Robert Hardman. This commemorative edition includes an epilogue reflecting upon Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee, her passing and her funeral.

    ‘Sensational’ – Kirsty Young, The Platinum Pageant (BBC)

    With fascinating revelations from those who knew her best and special access to unseen royal papers granted by Elizabeth II herself, author and royal expert Robert Hardman explores the full, astonishing life of our longest reigning monarch in this authoritative yet intimate biography.

    The book also charts the way in which the Queen raised the future King Charles III as both son and heir.

    Elizabeth was not born to be queen, being third in line to the throne. Yet from her accession as a young mother of two in 1952 to the age of Covid-19, she proved an astute and quietly determined figure, leading her family and her people through more than seventy years of unprecedented social change. She faced constitutional crises, confronted threats against her life, unified the Commonwealth, saw fifteen British prime ministers come and go, charmed world leaders, and steered her family through a lifetime in the public eye. Her Platinum Jubilee was celebrated in June 2022 and her death mourned months later, both events a reminder of the huge impact she had made.

    Queen of Our Times is a must-read study of dynastic survival and renewal, spanning abdication, war, romance, danger and tragedy. It is a compelling portrait of a leader whose legacy of steadfast service lives on.
