Az ördög Pradát visel
Andrea Sachs friss diplomásként olyan állást kap, ,,amelyért lányok milliói az életüket is odaadnák". A Runway divatlap főszerkesztője, Miranda Priestly asszisztenseként egy számára teljesen új világban találja magát, ahol csakis Pradát, Versacét és Armanit hordanak. A nők elképesztően ápoltak és tűsarkakon tipegnek, a férfiak pedig izmosak és elbűvölők. De Miranda mindnyájukat képes hisztérikus kisgyermekké változtatni.
Andrea megpróbál alkalmazkodni és megfelelni. Zokszó nélkül és legjobb tudása szerint teljesíti Miranda minden óhaját. Megszerzi a még meg sem jelent legújabb Harry Potter regényt, és különgéppel elküldi Párizsba, hogy Miranda lányai elsőként olvashassák. Felkutatja a közelebbről meg nem nevezett régiségkereskedést Manhattanben, ahol Miranda látott egy jópofa tálalót. Pontosan azon a hőmérsékleten tálalja Miranda ebédjét az irodában, ahogy a főnökasszony megköveteli. És szinte éjjel-nappal csörög a telefonja, mert Mirandának minden percben újabb és újabb lehetetlen kívánsága támad.
De Andrea mindent elvisel, mert egyetlen cél lebeg a szeme előtt: ha kibír egy évet Miranda mellett, az ő ajánlásával utána akármelyik szabadon választott hetilapnál vezető beosztásban dolgozhat. Ám egy idő után Andrea kezd rádöbbenni, hogy a munka, ,,amelyért lányok milliói az életüket is odaadnák", őt akár meg is ölheti.

John of John
Out of money and with little to show for his art school education, John-Calum Macleod takes the ferry home to the island of Harris to find that not much has changed except for him. In the windswept croft where he grew up, Cal resumes his old life, caught between the two poles of his childhood: his father John, a sheep farmer, weaver, and pillar of their local Presbyterian church, and his Glaswegian grandmother Ella, who has kept a faltering peace with her son-in-law for decades.
While Cal wonders if any lonely men might be found on the barren hillsides of home, John is dismayed by his son’s long hair and how he seems unwilling to be Saved. As the seasons pass, everything is poised to change as the threads holding together the fragile community become increasingly entangled.
John of John is the heartbreaking story of a young man’s return home and how the bonds of family life are torn by the weight of expectation. It confirms Douglas Stuart as one of the great British writers at work today.

The Cheese Cure
‘A wonderful book.' Cathy Rentzenbrink ‘A remarkable tale’ The Spectator A giant wheel of Comte´ – a cheese full of delight, a mosaic of flavour – can sometimes become flat. Despite all that’s gone into making it and caring for it, its complexity mysteriously vanishes, its spark dies. Cheesemongers know that. That’s why they regularly test the cheeses: they insert a cheese iron deep into the wheel and extract a sample from its core. Sometimes they can cure it and sometimes they can’t. A highly successful BBC and Guardian Journalist, somehow Michael Finnerty's life had become flat. His psychological cheese iron told him he needed to make a change, and he becomes convinced his salvation lies in cheese. Michael becomes an apprentice cheesemonger at Borough Market, and is plunged into a world of intense physicality, extraordinary knowledge, and total geeky passion. From learning the cheese's personal nighttime riders – Castillon Frais needs to sit in its box underneath some waxed paper but its box needs to be kept in a plastic sheath, Comté sits unwrapped in a cool cupboard, and has a quick saline bath before bed – to learning intricate ways to wrap their different shapes; from being able to taste nuances between the cheeses, to slicing fingers, bruising toes, getting allergic reactions, and the simple dog-tiredness of being on your feet from the crack of dawn till night, Michael's new job is more demanding than he could ever have imagined – and he loves it. Then when Borough Market is subjected to a terrifying attack, Michael realises through cheese, he has found something even more powerful – community.

A lányban fortyogó düh és mély elkeseredettség oda vezet, hogy mikor egy titokzatos talizmánra bukkan, ami elő tudja hozni lényének egy másik oldalát, egy olyat, aki magabiztos, laza, menő és rendkívül népszerű, Luna kérdés nélkül belemegy a varázslatba. De vajon jó ötlet egy mágikus és ismeretlen erőnek átadni az irányítást?
My Own Dear People
"An important, beautifully written novel about a young man's struggle to come to terms with the actions (and inactions) of his own past. This is one of the best books I have read in a long, long time." - Jerry Stahl, author of Nein, Nein, Nein!Nyjah Messado has built a life away from home, but he is haunted not by a ghost, but by a memory: the moment he witnessed a brutal sexual assault and chose silence. Raised within the rigid masculine codes of an elite Jamaican boys' school, Nyjah learns early what is expected of him: loyalty to other men, contempt for weakness, and the careful management of guilt. Years later, returning to Montego Bay, he must navigate a city shaped by class divisions, colonial legacies and violence, while confronting the moral cost of what he failed to do. My Own Dear People is a fierce, lyrical coming-of-age novel about masculinity, complicity and self-deception. Unflinching in its treatment of rape culture and homophobia, it asks whether forgiveness, of others, or of oneself, is ever truly possible.

Inside Red Bull Racing
Praise for Nazaré: Life and Death With the Big Wave Surfers, by Matt Majendie: WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR NOMINEE A SUNDAY TIMES SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Like an action movie with a fast-paced pulse-racing soundtrack' - The Times 2000 workers, 24 races, two drivers, one target. In 2025, critically acclaimed writer Matt Majendie spent a season behind the scenes with Formula One team Red Bull Racing during one of the most controversial and dramatic years in the history of the sport. No journalist has been given the level of access that Majendie enjoyed as he found himself walking the secretive corridors of the hi-tech team factory in the UK; trackside at race after race; inside the garage, on the driver's luxury yachts, and even racing the streets of Monaco with Max Verstappen, the greatest driver of this, and perhaps any, era, as he chases history. Join Majendie on the pit wall as Christian Horner's dominant reign as team supremo finally runs its course, as drivers come and go - youngster Liam Lawson brutally axed after just two races - and Verstappen wrestles with the limitations of a car that refuses to be tamed, fighting with rivals like Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, taking the season down to its final minutes. From mechanics to engineers, race strategists to team leaders, head honchos to the thousands who ensure the machine turns, this is F1 racing as you've never seen it.
