Thinking in Pictures
Why thinking in pictures? Short answer: because the words seem to need help. If you sample the many smart-thinking books to hit the shelves recently, they all promise a smarter, more rational you, and it all seems just pages away. But if the books are that good, why are there so many? And have they succeeded in moving the dial of people's reasoning?
Using illustrations and photographs, Michael Blastland shows how pictures can help put ideas to the test, making them vivid, showing them in action. Part guide, part gallery, Thinking in Pictures is a brilliantly original and witty introduction to smart-thinking - how to use it and when to question it - for anyone trying to make sense of a puzzling world.
Filthy Rich Vampires 2: Second Rite
Thea Melbourne has a broken heart. A month after her world turned upside down, she's struggling to return to the life she left behind. Her mother is in a coma, she's selling off designer gowns to pay the bills, and her roommates seem to think she's made of glass. But when the vampire who broke her heart shows up at the hospital, she learns a devastating secret.
To save the love of his life, Julian pushed her away. Now he has to live with the pain and regret or find someone to put him out of his misery. When it becomes clear that Thea is still in danger, he has a choice to make. He can stay away like the Council demands or risk everything, including their lives, to win her back.
Convincing her means facing his own dark secrets and resisting the temptation to claim her as his mate once and for all. But Thea isn't going to make that easy for him.
x+y
From imaginary numbers to the fourth dimension and beyond, mathematics has always been about imagining things that seem impossible at first glance. In x+y, Eugenia Cheng draws on the insights of higher-dimensional mathematics to reveal a transformative new way of talking about the patriarchy, mansplaining and sexism: a way that empowers all of us to make the world a better place.
Using precise mathematical reasoning to uncover everything from the sexist assumptions that make society a harder place for women to live to the limitations of science and statistics in helping us understand the link between gender and society, Cheng's analysis replaces confusion with clarity, brings original thinking to well worn arguments - and provides a radical, illuminating and liberating new way of thinking about the world and women's place in it.
Say You’ll Be My Jaan
"Think of it like Tinder. Except your parents are the algorithm"
Meghna has tried everything to find her jaan: blind dates, the dreaded apps, even attempting conversations with strangers. Everything except arranged marriage.
Then Seth, her best friend and the-one-who-got-away, asks her to be his "best man" and suddenly her parent's taste doesn't seem so bad. Which is how she meets the cranky but handsome Karthik, who knows marriage is not for him.
They’re the perfect match – if not the one their parents think they are making – and a deal is struck. They’ll announce their engagement: Karthik will be excused from his mother’s set-ups and Meghna will have a date for the wedding from her nightmares.
But how can you fake it and get away with it, when you’re not faking it at all?
For fans of WEDDING SEASON, Say You’ll Be My Jaan is brimming with characters you can't help but fall for, off-the-charts chemistry and all the joy of a 90s romcom as it takes a fresh look on that age old search for your other half.
Look No Further
The Parent Trap meets The Vanishing Half in Rioghnach Robinson and Siofra Robinson’s Look No Further, a gripping YA novel about estranged siblings who meet for the first time at art camp and confront their differing experiences of race and identity.
When 17-year-old Niko and 15-year-old Ali meet at Ogilvy Summer Art Institute, a selective camp for art students in New York City, they seem like complete opposites. Ali comes across as standoffish to laid-back Niko, who feels like a fish out of water surrounded by so many type-A peers. So when a teacher assigns them as pairs for a genealogy project, Ali and Niko are shocked to find they have a lot more in common than they bargained for.
As the pair embark on a quest to uncover their shared history, Ali finds herself falling for her roommate—who may have already fallen for another girl at Ogilvy—and surfer-bro Niko struggles to find his footing in the glamorous NYC art scene. Soon they’re both questioning their preconceptions about the world and each other. But only when they face real heartbreak can they accept the most transformative revelation of all: the best art is what you make, not just what you see.

The Future Is Greater
Success life coach Maxine Nwaneri shows women, no matter what age, how to escape the motherhood penalty, arrest ten time thieves, reduce family chaos and thrive in life.
A job? An obligation? A career? A choice? A penalty?
Well-intended workplace policies and initiatives have failed to successfully help mothers and mothers to be cope with work life balance. Countless women get “lost” in the juggling act of working motherhood that often leaves them guilty, unfulfilled and failing on all fronts.
Women do three times more unpaid work at home than their male partners. The pandemic amplified this and saw 1.5 billion children around the world homeschooled with mothers shouldering most of the weight around education and home care.
These pressures have led to one in three working mothers scaling back their careers or leaving the workforce entirely.
An issue governments and employers are failing to solve, The Future is Greater helps readers tap into the powerful, but less mentioned source of answers for this conundrum – mothers and women themselves. In Mother Maxine discusses the issue of motherhood penalty verses fatherhood premium, and how this affects so many women’s lives and decisions women make long before they ever have children.
Every woman faces different challenges, motivations, and dreams. Leading readers through a tried and tested ten step process involving amongst others the following tips:
• decide to make a change
• create a powerful and exciting vision for your life
• adopt the powerful C.R.I.S.I.S success plan created by Maxine
• build resilience and avoid comparison traps
• identify time wasters and identify thieves
Using client testimonials and a journey that took Maxine from homelessness, addiction, academic failure in her teens, to becoming an award-winning student and Cambridge graduate, Maxine illustrates that time for what may seem like the most important commitments is gained by taking time to care first for oneself.
Loki
Step into the ancient fir-tree forests of Scandinavia and bear witness to legends as epic as those of the Greeks and the Romans.
Melvin Burgess revolutionised children's literature with the infamous cult novels Junk and Doing It. In his first adult novel, Loki, he breathes new life into Norse myths.
Starting with the Norse creation myths, the trickster god Loki takes the reader on a wild ride through Norse mythology, from the time the gods - the founders of Asgard - defeated races of monsters, and hurtling through famous stories, including Odin hanging himself on the World Tree, the theft of the corrupting gold ring and the murder of Baldr, the god of love and the Sun. This narrative may seem familiar enough at first, but the reader should beware.
Born within the heart of a fire in the hollow of a tree-trunk, Loki arrives in Asgard as an outsider. He is a trickster, an unreliable narrator, the god of intelligence and politics. In spite of his cleverness and sparkling wit (or, perhaps, because of this...) Loki struggles to find his place among the old patriarchal gods of supernatural power and is constantly at odds with the god of thunder - Thor.
Alongside the politics of Asgard, it charts the course of Loki's many loves and families, from his mothering of Odin's famous horse to his intense, turbulent, and, eventually, fatal relationship with Baldr the Beautiful - a tender and moving story of love that goes wrong, jealousy and a transitioning that is forbidden by society.
This is a retelling that is contemporary in tone, at once amusing and relatable. It is a heartfelt plea to overthrow the old gods of power and authority and instigate a new era ruled by love and intelligence.

Unravel Me
In the ice-hockey romance that has taken TikTok by storm, the star goalie discovers the family he’s always wanted when he falls in love with a single mother.
When it comes to dating, Adam Lockwood wouldn’t know luck if it hit him in the face. After an epic failure of a relationship and a string of dates gone wrong, the thought of being vulnerable with someone is terrifying – most people only see him as a professional athlete. But when his dog runs down Rosie, a beautiful woman with a blush as pink as her hair, she doesn’t seem to have a clue who he is, and Adam seizes the opportunity for what it is: a chance to be himself.
Rosie Wells has her hands full as a single mother and fourth-year veterinarian student, and she certainly wouldn’t know a hockey player if she ran into one. She doesn’t have time to date, and she’s fiercely protective of her little family. But when a chance encounter leads her to Adam, she knows he’s worth risking her heart.
The only problem? Adam is used to wearing a mask – he’s a goalie, after all. And as he holds onto a secret that threatens to unravel him and destroy his new family, he’s at risk of losing more than ever before.
Swift and Saddled
She's the city girl who refuses to be saddled with a man. He's the cowboy who wants her anyway.
The last thing Ada Hart needs is a man to take care of her. Not anymore. After failing out of her interior design program and the disaster that was her short-lived marriage, Ada clawed her way up from her rock bottom. Now, the only person she trusts is herself, and that has gotten her further than ever before. She has her own business, and one of the largest ranches in Wyoming just hired her for the most important project of her career.
When Ada arrives in Meadowlark, she finds herself in a dive bar where she can't seem to shake the eyes of a handsome cowboy. When she leads him to the back of the bar, he leaves her with a kiss that most people can only fantasize about. She almost regrets that she'll never see him again...except it turns out he's her new boss.
Weston Ryder is a happy guy. Even happier now that the mystery woman from the bar is the interior designer for his dream project on his family's ranch. He feels like he hit the jackpot. Too bad she wants absolutely nothing to do with him outside of work. Ada is convinced the pull she feels toward Wes will go away, but Wes can't stop thinking about her. Even though walls are coming down around Rebel Blue, Ada's walls are firmly in place.
Can they make it through this project without giving in? Or will they both put their dreams on the line for a chance at love?
The Kids Will Be All Right : A guide to raising teens in a complex world
An essential guide to parenting today's teenagers.
We live in an age of anxiety - for both parents and teenagers. The straightforward years of childhood can seem a breeze compared to what teens have thrown at them today. Parents worry about how to help their teenagers deal with sex, porn, gender identity, sexting, slut-shaming, social media, bullying, alcohol and drugs, and about their teenagers' high levels of anxiety. Teens worry about how to measure up in a world where their social currency is explicitly measured by likes and followers; they worry about their bodies and their looks, sex, cancel culture and their future.
Life is genuinely different for today's teens and pre-teens than it was even a decade ago, yet New Zealand parents lack access to a comprehensive book with up-to-date, evidence-based and sensible advice on how to help their teens get through the physical, mental and social challenges of adolescence.
The Kids Will Be All Right includes strategies to suggest to your teen to deal with common tricky situations, and covers friendships (and frenemies); bullying; technology use and screen time; drinking, vaping and risk-taking behaviour; self esteem and body image; personal and sexual health; sexual and gender identity; consent; safe relationships; and pornography.
Written by parenting expert Robyn Fausett and with contributions from her daughter, Molly Fausett, The Kids Will Be All Right is an empathetic, insightful guide to navigating the teenage years.
Broken into digestible parts, with numerous examples and anecdotes to help parents know what to do - and say - when, this is an essential guide for today's parents of adolescents.
