Breathe
To win the climate war, you first need to win the climate argument.
For many years, Sadiq wasn't fully aware of the dangers posed by air pollution, nor its connection with climate change. Then, aged 43, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with adult-onset asthma - brought on by the polluted London air he had been breathing for decades.
Scandalised, Sadiq underwent a political transformation that would see him become one of the most prominent global politicians fighting (and winning) elections on green issues. Since becoming Mayor of London in 2016, he has declared a climate emergency, introduced the world's first Ultra-Low Emission Zone, and turned London into the first-ever 'National Park City'.
Now, Sadiq draws on his experiences to reveal the seven ways environmental action gets blown off course - and how to get it back on track. Whether by building coalitions across the political spectrum, putting social justice at the heart of green politics, or showing that the climate crisis is a health crisis too, he offers a playbook for anyone - voter, activist or politician - who wants to win the argument on the environment.
It will help create a world where we can all breathe again.
The Summer I Saved You
An angsty, single-parent romance from the author of TikTok favourite A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL. Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Mia Sheridan.
CALEB
I came to the lake to be left alone, to lick my wounds. I wasn't counting on neighbors and I especially wasn't counting on her.
Lucie was a little kid the last time I was here. Now she's grown-and God, did she ever grow up-with two little kids of her own.
She's everywhere I look, no matter how hard I try to avoid her. I'd forgotten all the things I used to want, used to dream about. She's reminding me...and making me want every last one of them again.
LUCIE
From the moment I first saw Caleb when I was six, I knew he belonged to me. And I knew I'd have to save him-because how else does the girl nobody wants win over the boy beloved by all?
Nothing about his life or mine has gone to plan. He's isolated and miserable. I've got a vindictive ex and more problems than I can count.
But what hasn't changed is this: it still feels like he's mine.
And I still think I may need to save him.
Death on the Lusitania
The ship was doomed before it ever left port. His fate was sealed before he ever stepped on board. From R. L. Graham, Death on the Lusitania is an immersive WW1 historical novel set aboard the ill-fated ocean liner.
'Set on a doomed ocean liner, this engaging and well researched mystery is perfect for lovers of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers' – Philip Gray, author of Two Storm Wood, The Times Thriller of the Year

Gallagher believes one of the passengers is a deadly killer - one who could strike again at any moment. And all the while, the ship sails on towards Europe, where enemy submarines patrol dark waters . . .

Unlearning Shame
A powerful personal manifesto against shame that empowers us and calls us to action - from the author of Unmasking Autism
How many times a day do you feel shame? Struggling to pay the bills; buying a top made in a sweatshop; reading the news and feeling - yet again - a powerlessness to the point of apathy?
In today's self-blame culture, it often feels impossible not to carry shame about the choices we make and the values by which we live. When the political is so personal, and the personal is so political, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sense that we're not doing enough - maybe, even, that we're not enough.
In this bold and transformative manifesto, social psychologist and author of Unmasking Autism Dr Devon Price takes an in-depth look at shame and the role it plays in our lives. Systemic Shame traps us into fighting unwinnable battles and judging others for their failures. But it especially affects those who are already vulnerable because they're carrying shame from a difficult past or a complicated sense of self-esteem. This new, radically positive book shows us that there is no such thing as becoming "good enough" to be deserving of love; that we must claim acceptance for ourselves.
Blending the latest social psychology, personal insights and empowering practical exercises, Unlearning Shame is a radical guide to overcoming self-blame and embracing a new culture - one where we take control of the choices we make and the future we create.
The Upside-Down World
A charming and highly personal introduction to the artists of the Dutch Golden Age
Twenty years ago, Benjamin Moser followed a love affair to an ancient Dutch town. In order to make sense of this new place, he threw himself into the Dutch museums. Soon, he found himself unearthing the strange, inspiring and sometimes terrifying stories of the artists who shaped one of the most luminous moments in the history of human creativity, the Dutch Golden Age.
As he explored the hidden world of the Dutch Masters (and one Mistress), Moser met a crowd of fascinating personalities: the stormy Rembrandt, the intimate Ter Borch, the mysterious Vermeer. Through their art, he got to know their country, too: from Pieter Saenredam's translucent churches to Paulus Potter's muddy barnyards, and from Pieter de Hooch's cozy hearths to Jacob van Ruisdael's tragic trees. Over the years, Moser found himself on increasingly intimate terms with these centuries-dead artists, and found that they, too, were struggling with the same questions he was. Why do we make art? What is art, anyway - and what is an artist? What does it mean to succeed as an artist, and what does it mean to fail?
The Upside-Down World is an invitation to ask these questions, and to turn them on their heads: to look, and then to look again. It is a brilliant, colourful and learned book for anyone, whether lifelong scholar or curious tourist, who has ever felt the lure of the Dutch galleries. It shows us art, and artists, as we have never seen them before.
What's Eating Us
Blending personal narrative and investigative reporting, Emmy Award-winning journalist Cole Kazdin reveals that disordered eating is an epidemic crisis killing millions of women.
Women of all ages struggle with disordered eating, preoccupation with food, and body anxiety. Journalist Cole Kazdin was one such woman, and she set out to discover why her own full recovery from an eating disorder felt so impossible. Interviewing women across the country as well as the world’s most renowned researchers, she discovered that most people with eating disorders never receive treatment––the fact that she did made her one of the lucky ones.
Kazdin takes us to the doorstep of the diet industry and research community, exposing the flawed systems that claim to be helping us, and revealing disordered eating for the crisis that it is: a mental illness with the second highest mortality rate (after opioid-related deaths) that no one wants to talk about. Along the way, she identifies new treatments not yet available to the general public, grass roots movements to correct racial disparities in care, and strategies for navigating true health while still living in a dysfunctional world.
What would it feel like to be free? To feel gorgeous in your body, not ruminate about food, feel ease at meals, exercise with no regard for calories-burned? To never making a disparaging comment about your body again, even silently to yourself. Who can help us with this? We can.
What's Eating Us is an urgent battle cry coupled with stories and strategies about what works and how to finally heal?for real.
The Gloaming
'The best lives leave a mark.'
A bewitching tale of first love, shattering grief, and the dangerous magic that draws us home.
Mara's island is one of stories and magic, but every story ends in the same way. She will finish her days on the cliff, turned to stone and gazing out at the horizon like all the islanders before her.
Mara's parents - a boxer and a ballerina - chose this enchanted place as a refuge from the turbulence of their previous lives; they wanted to bring up their children somewhere special and safe. But the island and the sea don't care what people want, and when they claim a price from her family, Mara's world unravels.
It takes the arrival of Pearl, mysterious and irresistible, to light a spark in Mara again, and allow her to consider a different story for herself.
The Gloaming is a gorgeous tale of love and grief, and the gap between fairy tales and real life.
A második feleség
"A tó bal partján kis halászfalu terült el, száz meg százéves hársak árnyékában szétszórtan álló nyolc alacsony ház, szalmafedeleik éppen csak a fák alsó ágain emelkedtek fölül. Falaikon a vetõ- és merítõhálókkal, ajtóik mellett, a keskeny kis falócákkal, déli oldalukon galagonya- és csipkerózsabokorral környezve csinosan váltak ki a part fehér szélébõl. Ha a német fejedelem tudta volna, hogy az ártatlan Kis-Trianon ötlete végül Franciaország tündöklõ királynéjának fejében megfogan, akkor e kis halászfalu bizonyára sohasem épült volna fel. De a fejedelem nem volt jós, ezért mûve már csaknem száz éve állt a park tava mellett, kívülrõl a legkezdetlegesebb idillt képezve, ám bensejében a legkényesebb emberfiát is kielégítve. A belépõk talpa, amelyre még a part murvája tapadt, közvetlenül a dagadozó szõnyegekhez ért. Nehéz selyemszövetek csillogtak a párnás bútorokon és fedték el a falakat, itt-ott eltûnve a széles tükörlapok mögött. Ha kinn kacérkodtak is a szegénységgel és egyszerûséggel, a fehérre sikált asztalokon mégsem lehetett étkezniük, még kevésbé pedig az édes játék után falócákon megpihenniök. A fejedelmi ház ? amely sarjai egyikének köszönhette létét a kis halászfalu ? õsidõktõl fogva szilárdan ragaszkodott ama szokáshoz, hogy mindegyik trónörökös életének nyolcadik évében egy-egy hársfát ültessen. A tó bal partján levõ, majálisrétnek nevezett kaszáló így történelmi nevezetesség lett. Csak ritkán pusztult el a fejedelmivé tett fák valamelyike, a majálisrét valóságos díszpéldányokkal rendelkezett. Szürke páncélos õsi daliák gyanánt az ég felé törve tartották maguk fölé hatalmas zöld pajzsukat, s megvédték az utánuk jöttékét és gyöngélkedõket. A mai májusi napon Frigyes trónörökös számára következett el a faültetés fontos eseménye..."
