Girl Dinner
From the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Olivie Blake, this is a powerful and darkly-fun novel about ambition, lust and eating your fill - as wealthy moms and sorority girls practice a sinister new wellness trend...
Good girls deserve a treat. Every member of The House, the most exclusive sorority on campus, and all its alumni, are beautiful, high-achieving and universally respected. After a freshman year she would rather forget, sophomore Nina Kaur knows being one of the chosen few accepted into The House is the first step in her path to the brightest possible future. Once she's taken into their fold, the House will surely ease her fears of failure and protect her from those who see a young woman on her own as prey.
Meanwhile, adjunct professor Dr. Sloane Hartley is struggling to return to work after accepting a demotion to support her partner's new position at the cutthroat University. After 18 months at home with her newborn daughter, Sloane's clothes don’t fit right, her girl-dad husband isn’t as present as he thinks he is and even the few hours a day she's apart from her child fill her psyche with paralyzing ennui. When invited to be The House’s academic liaison, Sloane enviously drinks in the way the alumnae seem to have it all, achieving a level of collective perfection that Sloane so desperately craves.
As Nina and Sloane each get drawn deeper into the arcane rituals of the sisterhood, they learn that living well comes with bloody costs. And when they are finally invited to the table, they will have to decide just how much they can stomach in the name of solidarity and power.

The Meaning of Liff
From Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and John Lloyd (Blackadder, Spitting Image, QI), this is the 42nd anniversary edition of The Meaning of Liff. Revised, updated and ready to change your life.
In life, there are hundreds of familiar experiences, feelings and objects for which no words exist, yet hundreds of strange words are idly loafing around on signposts, pointing at places. The Meaning of Liff connects the two. This is a hilariously essential dictionary of things there should be words for - where all the words themselves are recycled place names.
BERRIWILLOCK (n.) – An unknown workmate who writes ‘All the best’ on your leaving card.
ELY (n.) – The first, tiniest inkling that something, somewhere has gone terribly wrong.
GRIMBISTER (n.) – Large body of cars on a motorway all travelling at exactly the speed limit because one of them is a police car.
KETTERING (n.) – The marks left on your bottom or thighs after sunbathing on a wickerwork chair.
OCKLE (n.) – An electrical switch which appears to be off in both positions.
WOKING (ptcpl.vb.) – Standing in the kitchen wondering what you came in here for.
42 years later, The Meaning of Liff is back, but in a snazzier jacket.
Think of it as a mid-liff crisis.
Night & Day
Following the highly acclaimed Nocturnes and Night Music, Night & Day is filled with eerie surprises and dark delights. Night & Day takes us from the dusty shelves of an uncanny library filled with fictional characters to a bunker deep beneath the earth where scientists seek revenge on old Nazis, from an English marsh haunted by a mother and her son to a country house where a grieving widower finds comfort in a most unlikely source. Concluding with the author's account of how an obscure horror film brought him closer to his lost father, and how nostalgia can help through our hardest times, this is a collection that will move, entertain, and keep you reading late into the night.
Marguerite Yourcenar: A Dream of Stone
A selection of texts on art and artists by the Belgian French novelist and essayist Marguerite Yourcenar
Best known for her seminal novel Memoirs of Hadrian (1951), an imagined autobiography of the Roman emperor, Yourcenar brings the same depth of inquiry and inventive speculation to her lyric prose on art and artists in this newest title in the ekphrasis series. In these five jewel-like essays, Yourcenar meditates on the decay of time, the desire both satiated and refused by art, and the imagery animating the lives, works, and dreams of Michelangelo, Dürer, and Piranesi. And in an intimate mediation on the historical novel, Yourcenar describes her own encounters with how language reveals the past. Together these exquisite essays explore that fundamental awe - perhaps even the terror - at the heart of an encounter with beauty.
An introduction by John Knight sketches the life of this extraordinary writer and situates Yourcenar’s unique criticism within her attempt to capture the great struggle required to make an enduring work of art. Subtle and learned, Yourcenar’s essays are like stepping stones into the past and the shadowy business of artistic creation. Bringing back into print Yourcenar’s seminal essay “The Dark Brain of Piranesi” in the poet Richard Howard’s elegant English translation, conducted in collaboration with the author, this volume also collects texts from That Mighty Sculptor, Time (1983) into a particularly focused volume.
