Mr Moonlight
The definitive biography of Brian Epstein – the man who made the Beatles – by leading Beatles biographer Philip Norman. Brian Epstein didn’t just manage the Beatles – he transformed them into the most famous band the world has ever known. A young record-shop owner from Liverpool, he took four relatively unknown musicians and set out to make them ‘bigger than Elvis’, changing pop music, celebrity and British culture forever. Only a few years older than John, Paul, George and Ringo, he called them ‘the Boys’, guiding, protecting and relentlessly believing in them as no one else did. Without Brian Epstein, there would have been no Beatles as we know them. Brian’s achievement in a profession in which he had no experience remains astonishing. A passionate devotee of classical music, he was nevertheless instrumental in shaping a new kind of pop that would revolutionise its sound, its business and Britain’s image around the world. Yet for all his achievements, he received no public honour – and scarcely any thanks. Drawing on a remarkable cache of exclusive interviews with those closest to him, Philip Norman delivers the most intimate and revealing portrait yet of this complex, conflicted and ultimately tragic figure. Mr Moonlight reveals the depths of Brian’s many trials and tribulations – how he almost lost the Beatles to organised crime; the antisemitism and homophobia he endured even at the height of his success; his intense and fraught relationship with John Lennon; and the haunting circumstances of his lonely death during the so-called Summer of Love. At once revelatory and deeply moving, Mr Moonlight restores Brian Epstein to his rightful place at the heart of the Beatles’ story.

How Not to Be a Political Wife
‘You think you’ve married a journalist, then, horrors, he becomes a politician.' How Not to Be a Political Wife is an unflinching account of life at the heart of politics, and what it's like to have politics rip the heart out of your life. It’s a story of high hopes and dirty tricks, broken friendships and divided loyalties, laughter and glamour. Recollections, as a great woman once said, may of course vary, but this is my story, the way I remember it, written with no fear, no favour – and no fucks left to give. Buckle up. I thought long and hard about writing this memoir. I’ve done so not to settle old scores or plead my case, but more because I hope it’s a tale worth telling, not just for those who are interested in the political events of the past few years, but also because it’s about the people and characters behind those events, and why things ended up the way they did. For nearly 20 years I was inside the rooms of government, a sanctioned eavesdropper on the rise – and fall – of the Cameroon style of Conservatism. At the same time I was building a career in journalism, raising two children and doing my best to support my own husband, Michael Gove, on his political journey. I was both an insider and an outsider; an observer – via my journalism – as well as a participant in the cut and thrust (mainly cut, if I’m honest) of frontline politics. After my divorce from Michael and the demise of the Conservatives’ Old Guard, that all came to an end. I’m no longer officially a Westminster WAG, but you won’t find me mourning. Politics trampled my health, my happiness, my marriage, my sanity; it placed intolerable pressure on my loved ones, especially my children; it twisted my sense of self, and others’ sense of me; it tainted everything I did or said. I can’t say I miss it. I do, however, miss the life and the relationships I had before it all. These are the recollections of a survivor, but they are also a love letter to all that was lost in the wreck. 'Sarah Vine is the Bridget Jones of politics.' Plum Sykes 'Everyone in Westminster is talking about it.' The London Standard 'I take it all back; she's fabulous. Nobody in Westminster can afford not to buy this book.' Rachel Johnson
It's a Love/Skate Relationship
Fans of Rachael Lippincott, Elise Bryant, and Dahlia Adler will love this joyful debut novel, a sapphic enemies-to-lovers romance between a hotheaded hockey player and the ice princess at the figure skating rink next door. Charlie Porter is a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the hockey rink. When she accidentally starts a brawl after a game, she’s suspended from school, meaning no hockey this season—and no chance to play in front of college scouts. Alexa Goldstein’s pairs skating partner was hurt in the fight, and with only four months until their next competition, pickings for a replacement are slim. So she strikes a deal with Charlie—skate with her at the competition well enough to place, and her Olympian mother will use her formidable connections to get Charlie in front of scouts at D-1 schools, even without her team. It seems impossible, and not just because Charlie has never figure skated before. Where Charlie is powerful, Alexa is elegant; where Charlie is quick to blow up, Alexa is cold as ice. But as the frostiness between them starts to thaw, they begin to wonder if they’ve found a partner for more than just skating. “Clever and intricate, with sizzling chemistry both on and off the ice. Charlie is a brash, endearing heroine who finds the perfect foil in ice queen Alexa.” —Kelly Quindlen, bestselling author of She Drives Me Crazy "With characters who are easy to root for, nail-biting competitions, and a gorgeous slow-burn romance, Carli J.

A definite winner of a sports romance, with high marks for great banter and a delightful cast!" —Dahlia Adler, award-winning author of Home Field Advantage"This is the sapphic skating story I’ve been waiting for! Corson beautifully tackles the raw emotions and chaos of teen life with humor, compassion, and charm. It's a Love/Skate Relationship shows the power of teaming up to win gold and the magic of winning each other’s hearts along the way." —Jenna Miller, author of We Got the Beat“An utterly charming rom-com bursting at the seams with heart and humor. You’ll be rooting for Charlie and Alexa—on and off the ice—from the very first page.” —Alex Crespo, author of Saint Juniper's Folly and Queerceanera "An absolute standout young adult Sapphic sports romance. The author skillfully invites readers into the world of competitive sports and all the sacrifices young athletes must make to follow their dreams."—School Library Journal (starred review, audiobook edition)

Pod stejným nebem
Jsou setkání, která člověk neumí vysvětlit. Potká někoho poprvé — a přesto má zvláštní pocit, jako by část toho člověka už dávno znal. Neumí říct proč. Jen ví, že hlas, přítomnost nebo způsob, jakým se ten druhý dívá, v něm něco probudí. Něco známého. Možná jste ten pocit někdy zažili také. Že proti vám stojí někdo, koho vlastně neznáte — a přesto máte pocit, že jeho část už dávno nosíte někde v sobě. Právě z takového okamžiku začíná příběh knihy Pod stejným nebem. Příběh dvou lidí, kteří se narodili pod stejným nebem. Ale každý v jiném světě. V jiné realitě. S jinou minulostí. A přesto mezi nimi vzniklo něco, co se nedalo umlčet. Ne romantická představa. Ale skutečný příběh, ve kterém vedle citu stojí i realita. Rozdílné země. Rozdílné podmínky. Rozhodnutí, která člověk neovlivní. A otázka, jestli některé příběhy přicházejí do života proto, aby tentokrát dostaly jiný konec.
Ne každému se podaří odjet na dovolenou do Turecka, zamilovat se tam do Kurda a pak si ho vzít. Ester Davidová, oblíbená regresní terapeutka a autorka mnoha prodávaných ezoterických knížek, je silná a vášnivá žena, která se nebála najít svou lásku až někde v Turecku. Nebála se podstoupit složité byrokratické peripetie, aby mohla být se svým milovaným a žít s ním v České republice. Její příběh vzbudil rozporuplné diskuze, a proto se rozhodla jej sepsat, ostatně vždycky velmi otevřeně psala o svém životě.
Na knize se podílím, co se týká korektury, a najdete v ní i moje pojednání o symbolice čísla, které tento zamilovaný pár pronásleduje. Kromě otevřené zpovědi Ester a jejího manžela v knize najdete krásné Abdulhalimovy básně.
