Render
Render plunges the reader into the vibrant setting of Barcelona in the second half of the twentieth century. A compelling character study, the book is presented as the collected works of a fictional poet: Alberto Cenas, the lonely scion of a wealthy Catalan family. Taken individually, Render's poems offer piercing insights into the exuberance of youth, the disillusionment of early adulthood, inherited trauma, creativity, ageing and finality. Collectively, the book delivers the immersive experience of a concept album or an existentialist film, creating a complex portrait of a strange and sympathetic figure.

The Children
A READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK'Not since Donna Tartt’s The Secret History have I loved a book filled with such magic and mystery as I have Melissa Albert’s The Children' JENNA BUSH HAGER'A page-turner full of mystery . . . The language is dusted with magic' STEPHEN KING'A joyously grim, open-eyed, adult fairy tale with the messiest of morals' PAUL TREMBLAY'An insidious and masterfully cast spell of a book . . . Gorgeous and dreadful, I devoured it' MONA AWAD_____________________________________________Their childhood was yours. They want it back . . . Guinevere’s late mother, Edith Sharpe, needs little introduction. Bestselling author of the unendingly successful Ninth City series, her books brought so much joy and inspired the imagination of countless children the world over. Guin’s childhood with her mother, brother Ennis and her actor father was a blissful, bohemian affair, filled with continuous laughter and surrounded by artistic types in their Vermont barnhouse. At least, this is the story Guin presents as she prepares for the press tour for her upcoming memoir about life in the Sharpe family. Now estranged from her brother and her parents long dead after a devastating fire, strange events threaten the veneer of serenity and familial harmony Guin is keen to project. Ennis, now a notorious artist with a troubled past, announces a new installation – his first since a disastrous last show one year prior – simply entitled Mother. And Guin can’t help but worry that the truth behind their idyllic childhood is about to blow her world apart. Told in alternating narratives between 1990s Vermont and present-day New York, The Children is a twisting narrative of family secrets and long-held resentments, which asks whether we can ever really exorcise the ghosts of a childhood forsaken in favour of a parent’s artistic vision. _____________________________________________'A poison apple of a book: glossy, sweet, and absolutely terrifying' ALIX E.

Lies Weeping
From Glen Cook, the godfather of Grimdark, comes Lies Weeping, the first book in an all-new arc in the legendary Chronicles of the Black Company — the landmark series that changed the face of fantasy. Scattered from their disastrous campaign across worlds, the Black Company left too many of their number buried in the ground before finally retreating across the plain of glittering stone. On the other side of the plain lies Hsien, their one-time base in the Land of Unknown Shadows, and with it the promise of safety — of a sort. Amidst the struggle to rebuild what is left of the Company, Arkana and Shukrat, the two young Voroshks now reluctantly serving as the Company’s annalists, find themselves haunted by vague omens and the threat of starvation. But, even more disturbing, are sightings of a strange, ragged creature, that appears to be wearing the body of the left-behind Croaker...

With honesty and an eye for the absurdities of football, Joe takes us inside the dressing room to reveal it all.

After battling severe injuries - and suffering devastating family loss - Joe walked away from the sport that had given him everything, bringing one of football's most remarkable careers to a close.
