Read Between the Lies: A Novel
“Read Between the Lies is a dark, delicious takedown of cancel culture and the publishing industry—I read it in two sittings because I had to stop midway and go google my own name. Highly recommend.” —Mindy Kaling
In this claustrophobic psychological suspense from USA Today bestselling author Jesse Q. Sutanto, the line between victim and villain blurs with every chapter. Because in the end, everyone has their own version of the truth—but only one will make it onto the page.
Fern’s dream of becoming a published author is finally coming true. After years of rejection, her debut novel has sold, and she’s ready to join the supportive online community of fellow debuts. But when she discovers her high school bully, Haven, has landed a major book deal and will be debuting alongside her, old wounds reopen.
As the pandemic forces everyone online, tensions escalate in their writing community. While Haven seems to succeed effortlessly, Fern watches her own career crumble. Yet beneath their polished personas lies a darker truth about their shared past—one involving a lost friend, Dani, and secrets neither wants revealed.
Fern isn’t the same person Haven bullied all those years ago. She’s learned that the best revenge stories aren’t written—they’re lived. And she’s been plotting this one for years.
What begins as online rivalry escalates into dangerous obsession. Because neither woman is telling the whole truth about what really happened to Dani…or about who’s the real victim in this story.

Against Method: Outline of an Anarchistic Theory of Knowledge
Paul Feyerabend’s globally acclaimed work, which sparked and continues to stimulate fierce debate, examines the deficiencies of many widespread ideas about scientific progress and the nature of knowledge. Feyerabend argues that scientific advances can only be understood in a historical context. He looks at the way the philosophy of science has consistently overemphasized practice over method, and considers the possibility that anarchism could replace rationalism in the theory of knowledge. This updated edition of the classic text includes a new introduction by Ian Hacking, one of the most important contemporary philosophers of science. Hacking reflects on both Feyerabend’s life and personality as well as the broader significance of the book for current discussions.Read more

Sea Power in the Pacific: A History from the Sixteenth Century to the Korean War
An epic history of the fierce struggle for supremacy over the world’s greatest ocean.This book is sure to be enjoyed by fans of Ian Toll, James D. Hornfischer, and Craig L. Symonds.
Despite being the largest body of water on the globe, the Pacific was often overlooked by historians until the conflict between Japan and the USA after Pearl Harbor. Donald Macintyre, renowned naval authority and wartime U-boat hunter, sets this right.
Drawing upon a wealth of research, Macintyre charts how naval forces were developed and clashed across the Pacific Ocean over the course of five centuries. He begins with the years prior to European intervention in the region, then explores how Portuguese, Dutch, and British naval forces reshaped the balance of power in these vast waters. Particularly compelling is the history of Japanese influence in the Pacific, as it transformed from an isolated medieval state into a modern naval power, asserting itself in the early twentieth century through conflicts with China and Russia.
The origins of the Pacific War, as well as all its major battles — from the Coral Sea to Leyte Gulf — are recorded in fascinating detail, before Macintyre concludes with an overview of the Pacific’s last major naval conflict: the Korean War.
Sea Power in the Pacific: A History from the Sixteenth Century to the Korean War is essential reading for anyone interested in the rise of early modern European empires, their maritime conflicts, and how the Pacific became a crucible of war in the twentieth century.

Seven
‘What a writer.’ ALI SMITH
‘One of the most brilliant British writers working today.’ SpectatorWho decides the rules of the games we play?
In August 2007, or thereabouts, a young philosopher leaves Oslo, heading for Greece, on a mission to find Theodoros Apostolakis, the head of the Society of Lost Things. Fortunately, Apostolakis isn’t lost, but everything else is: ancient libraries, entire civilisations, priceless books and a beautiful box, once used to play the world-famous game of Seven. The hunt for this small thing, among the countless lost things, becomes an absurdist quest through time and space: from the earliest human societies to the advent of AI.
Told, shared and mythologised by our narrator, along with a wild cast of dreamers, philosophers, poets, rebels and optimists, Seven is an extraordinary, uplifting journey through an ever darkening world.

Since You Arrived: a single dad, small town romantic comedy (The Raider Brothers Book 4)
A baby on his doorstep. A couch-surfing woman in need of a place to stay. And one very bad idea…Zane Raider is the last man in Smuggler’s Hideaway anyone would trust with a baby. So, of course, one shows up on his doorstep.
Which is how I end up in his kitchen, holding a bottle while trying not to stare at the way his T-shirt clings to all those muscles. I’m supposed to be the temporary nanny – just until he figures things out. He gets childcare. I get a roof over my head (and my dog gets a yard).
Easy.
Except Zane is a hot single dad with a bad boy past, a wicked smile, and a knack for making my heart race faster than his motorcycle. He smells like leather and trouble, grins like he knows exactly what I’m thinking, and somehow manages to look even better while rocking a baby at three a.m.
I keep telling myself I’m not falling for the guy who once made “commitment” sound like a prison sentence. But between the midnight feedings, his ridiculous brothers’ pranks, and the way he says our when he talks about the baby… I might be in serious trouble.
This single dad small-town romantic comedy features a man who has no intention of ever marrying – let alone having children – a woman who doesn’t understand the meaning of ‘on time’, a baby who throws chaos into the mix, and a band of prank-happy brothers who treat emotional growth like it’s a full-contact sport.

SS Kommando: Hitler’s Special Forces in the Second World War (The Third Reich’s Shadow Forces Book 1)
The secret war of Germany’s elite commandos — a gripping account of sabotage, espionage, and survival in World War Two.For readers of James Owen, Peter Young, James Lucas and Franz Kurowski.
The SS Kommandos and their forerunners, the Brandenburgers — led by Admiral Canaris and later Otto Skorzeny — fought their war in the shadows of Europe for six years. During this time, they battled and plotted behind enemy lines across three continents and dozens of countries. Their clandestine activities undoubtedly changed the course of history.
Often overlooked in favour of the perhaps better-known British Special Forces or American Rangers, the Kommandos were, in fact, the first military units to embrace and utilise such an unconventional style of warfare. In this book, author Charles Whiting presents a thorough account of the men and the operations they undertook during the war years, using first-hand interviews with the remaining survivors — including Skorzeny himself. The result is a vivid, personal account of ordinary men, both heroes and victims of the German war machine, engaged in a deadly struggle for survival.
The daring and complexity of some of the SS Kommando operations is truly staggering and includes the 1943 rescue of deposed dictator Benito Mussolini from under the noses of the Italians in the mountains; the 1944 kidnapping of the son of the Regent of Hungary to keep that country in the war against the Allies; and the theft of a large quantity of diamonds in South Africa to sabotage Britain’s war effort. Brutally efficient and often disregarding the rules of war, these men seized strategic targets, captured key bridges, engaged in espionage and sabotage, and would ultimately influence the development of special forces around the world.
This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in Kommando operations throughout World War Two — the men involved, their leaders and rivals under the Führer, and the desperate tactics employed in the face of defeat.

Start With Yourself
START WITH YOURSELF is a game-changing, no-BS guide for anyone seeking meaningful success on their own terms. It’s an essential framework that will give you the tools and mindset to unlock your full potential in life and business – straight from a woman who defied all the odds to become a serial entrepreneur, co-founder of culture-defining global businesses, a non-profit champion and host of “Aspire with Emma Grede” podcast. All while raising a family of four children.
Based on the factors of her early life – she’s the child of a working-class single mother who grew up in a rough neighborhood in East London and dropped out of high school – you’d never guess that Emma Grede would go on to become one of America’s richest self-made women.
This makes Grede singular and unique, but she’s convinced you can do it too: START WITH YOURSELF is a blueprint to her mindset and how she thinks about business and life, structured in easy takeaways, so you can immediately apply her philosophy to what you’re trying to build and create.
Among her most blazing insights, Grede identifies what she calls “Old Thoughts”: stale thinking, outdated ideas; set-in-stone rules ingrained into the culture about work life balance, the crassness of money and the unseemliness of ambition – which aren’t actually rules at all. They’re biases, Grede insists, system errors, and we must strike them from our minds in order to create a greater sense of control, even mastery, over our day-to-day and long-range goals.
Ultimately, this is a book for everyone tired of feeling like a bystander or passenger in their own life. Grede offers tangible and applicable-right-now solutions to create a mindset, an overall system of thought to manage emotions, clarify ideas, and illuminate the right next step – while always staying positive.
It’s about gathering yourself after failure. It’s about being accountable but also forgiving yourself. It’s about not expecting shortcuts while never being bashful about grabbing them when they appear. It’s about pushing hard for wins and never apologising for your dreams.
Above all, Grede offers a new vision for work and life that encourages readers everywhere to take responsibility for their own thinking to achieve personal and professional success at the highest levels.

Super Nintendo: How One Japanese Company Helped the World Have Fun
A joyous exploration of the cultural phenomenon that created Mario, Zelda and Pokémon, and an ode to our love of gaming, by one of the most trusted voices in video games writing.
‘This is a great book.’
CHARLIE BROOKER‘Among the best things ever written about Nintendo.’
TOM BISSELL, author of Extra Lives‘Delightful . . . a vivid picture of the most important company in video games.”‘
JASON SCHREIER, author of Blood, Sweat, and PixelsFrom the instant classics to the hidden gems, Nintendo’s video games occupy a special place in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people around the globe. Every player has forged a unique connection with a beloved game, feeling that rush of awe and wonder as they immersed themselves in a virtual world in pursuit of that most human of impulses: the desire to have fun.
Super Nintendo finds lifelong gamer Keza MacDonald exploring Nintendo’s legendary roster of games – as well as consoles such as the SNES, Gameboy, Wii and Switch, and a host of other quirky inventions from the Power Glove to Nintendo Labo – drawing from decades’ worth of exclusive interviews with their creators and the people whose lives have been changed by them. Along the way, she tells the story of how this unassuming playing card company, founded in Kyoto in 1889, became one of the dominant cultural forces of the twenty-first century.
Offering unparalleled access to the company and its fun-filled world, and written with warmth and wit, Super Nintendo captures the love that so many of us feel for video games – and reveals just what that love tells us about being human.

Teacher Autonomy: Where Has It Gone and Why We Need It Back
Teacher Autonomy is a compelling exploration of the erosion of teacher independence in an era dominated by high-stakes accountability, rigid educational frameworks and a growing distrust of educators. This thought-provoking book delves into the history of autonomy in primary education, examining how shifts in policy and systems have drained creativity, individuality and meaningful connection from classrooms, leaving educators and learners alike disengaged and unmotivated.
Through the voices of real educators, including teachers, teaching assistants, senior leaders and early years practitioners, this book paints a vivid picture of the challenges faced by those on the frontlines of education. It highlights the far-reaching consequences of reduced autonomy, from teacher attrition and low morale to school refusal, mental health struggles and pupil behaviour issues. In response to this, it offers a call to action and provides practical strategies, moments of reflection and actionable solutions to empower educators and leaders to reclaim their professional independence. Covering key topics such as Ofsted, observation and accountability, planning and assessment, teacher retention, teamwork, and mental health and wellbeing, each chapter ignites vital conversations about the future of education.
This book is a must-read for teachers, school leaders and policymakers at any stage of their career, offering valuable insights into how to rebuild trust, foster creativity and rekindle meaningful connections at the core of teaching, as well as navigate the change in the current educational landscape.

Tears from the Mother of the Sun: A Secret History of the World
Esoteric legends that track history across multiple continents and planes of existence• Synthesizes ancient mythologies across time, space, and cultures to resacralize the human experience
• Written as a novella interspersed with metered quatrains in the tradition of medieval Persian belles-lettres
• Includes full-color paintings of key figures and motifs, including Sita, Yggdrasil, the Minotaur, Quetzalcoatl, and the Three Marys
In this globe-spanning chronicle, Pir Zia Inayat Khan, leader of the Inayatiyya, sets forth an astonishing sequence of legends revealing little-known connections between ancient cultures and spiritual lineages.
Framed as a dialogue between the Iranianepic poet Firdausi and his tutelary daimon, this novella follows the tradition of medieval Persian belles-lettres in which prose passages are punctuated with metered verses. The daimon reveals to the hitherto depressed poet the inner history of the world as reflected in the missions of a succession of sages moving through Earth’s lands and ages. Readers will learn of the creation of the universe, the war of the angels and the jinns, the exile of Adam and Eve, and the deeds of Melchizedek and Enoch. They will also explore the rise of the Nephilim, the advent of ancient civilizations, the origins of the Abrahamic faiths, and the history of the Grail and Emerald Tablet. Beautiful paintings by Amruta Patil bring the legends to life.
The cumulative effect of the traditions synthesized here is a resacralization of the human experience across time, space, and cultures, achieved through an unexpected marriage of myth and history.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens: Miniature Edition
Based on his father’s bestselling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Sean Covey applies the same principles to teens, using a vivacious, entertaining style. To keep it fun, Covey writes, he “stuffed it full of cartoons, clever ideas, great quotes, and incredible stories about real teens from all over the world . . . along with a few other surprises.” Did he ever! Flip open to any page and become instantly absorbed in real-life stories of teens who have overcome obstacles to succeed, and step-by-step guides to shifting paradigms, building equity in “relationship bank accounts,” creating action plans, and much more. As a self-acknowledged guinea pig for many of his dad’s theories, Sean Covey is a living example of someone who has taken each of the seven habits to heart: be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize; and sharpen the saw. He includes a comical section titled “The 7 Habits of Highly Defective Teens,” which includes some, shall we say, counterproductive practices: put first things last; don’t cooperate; seek first to talk, then pretend to listen; wear yourself out . . . Covey’s humorous and up-front style is just light enough to be acceptable to wary teenagers, and down-and-dirty enough to really make a difference.Read more
