However, through all of the success and exposure, Salah has remained true to himself, despite being largely misunderstood.In this extraordinary biography packed with untold stories, acclaimed football writer Melissa Reddy paints a true portrait of Salah by speaking to teammates, friends, coaches, his local community, sporting directors, backroom staff and more. Reddy explores how he beat the odds to transcend his humble background in rural Nagrig along with the early sacrifices that led him to Cairo and onto Basel, his true experience at Chelsea before his rebirth with Fiorentina and Roma, which allowed him to reach his full potential at Liverpool, where he made being extraordinary the norm.All of this while carrying Egypt's national team on his shoulders.Alongside the success, there is an honest journey through Mo's lowest moments and missteps too, backlit by the millions of people leaning heavily on him. Only Mo Salah climbs well beyond how a kid from a remote village scaled unimaginable heights to become a history-maker on and off the pitch, it showcases why Salah has a formidable claim to being the most important footballer on the planet.

A Thief to Die For
A stunning reimagining of Robin Hood, set in the same dystopian world woven with magic as The Enemy’s Daughter. An incredibly addictive YA enemies-to-lovers dystopian fantasy.
A soldier with magic. A thief with a secret. A spark that could burn their worlds down.
In a desolate, lawless land, Marian carries a dangerous secret. By day, she’s a high-ranking guard serving her father, the ruthless Commander who rules with an iron fist. By night, she becomes a whip-wielding thief, robbing the cowards she works with, to help those they mistreat.
That is, until Ryland catches her mid-raid. Revealing her identity could help him secure the deal he needs to save his homeland. Or, it could blow everything apart – if Marian has her way.
But Ryland holds his own secrets – untapped magic runs through his veins. A magic the Commander wants, along with invading Ryland’s distant settlement. Marian has her orders: win Ryland’s heart to betray him and his people.
And so begins a deadly dance of deception, stealing from the rich to give to the poor … and magic – the kind Ryland’s been waiting his whole life to wield.
Age of Security
What would you give up to feel safe?The security industry has captured our politics and our private lives. From rogue states to Ring doorbells, someone is always keeping a watchful eye - and we're paying for it. Anthropologist Ruben Andersson shows how Big Security rose to power, generating unprecedented profits, while failing to protect us and actively making us less safe.In this page-turning dispatch from security's frontlines - across the political right and left and global rich and poor - he tracks police chiefs in Swedish suburbs, embeds with migrants in Mexico, bunkers down with peacekeepers in Mali and dines with arms dealers in Paris.Everywhere, he finds that our shared obsession with security is an act of retreat: high walls, constant surveillance and punitive policies offer the illusion of control while fuelling paranoia and precarity. Every tracking app installed, border fortified, or emergency law passed makes us less free and less safe. Real safety is found an open, shared society with a strong social contract, freedom of expression and a sense of positive human purpose.We have given up so much in the name of safety and convenience.But once we see how security has trapped us, we can start to break free.

The 25th Hour
‘… a bracing guide to reclaiming your time by confronting the emotional habits that quietly give it away’ – Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of DRIVE and THE POWER OF REGRET
Are you craving extra time in your day, as well as the wisdom and self-awareness to use it joyfully and effectively?
In The 25th Hour, executive coach Neal Schore reveals how our emotional reactions eat away at our time and our energy – and shows us how to manage these responses to free up at least an hour each day. We need to address unproductive worrying, fear-based decision making, obsession over other people’s actions and behaviours – and, more than anything else, we need to get out of our own way.
This paradigm-shifting book offers a simple, practical approach to professional development, moving the focus beyond strategies for greater efficiency to what really costs us so much time and energy: our uncontrolled emotional responses.

‘A world of small-town charm and irresistible romance’ LIZ TOMFORDE
‘The ideal balance of sweet and sexy’ MARIAN KEYES
‘As heartfelt as a Taylor Swift song and as cosy as a pumpkin spiced latte’ ZOË FOLBIGG
From the author of Under Your Spell comes a funny, cosy small-town romance about an accidental Vegas marriage, two people forced to fake a relationship and a town determined to play matchmaker. Perfect for fans of Laurie Gilmore, Sarah Adams and Lynn Painter.
What happens in Vegas, never stays in Vegas . . .
Waking up in a Las Vegas hotel room with her brother’s best friend isn’t exactly rule-follower Ophelia ‘Lee’ Turner-Jones’ finest moment. She’s spent the past year trying to forget it ever happened, until a surprise email from a wedding chapel lands in her inbox. Now Lee has no choice but to track Nico down . . . and tell him they’re married.
The last place she expects to find the man who has always lived on the wild side is a small Maine town full of lovable eccentrics. Breaking the news to him should be simple, but walking away proves impossible when she discovers that Nico needs a wife to save everything – and everyone – he holds dear.
Agreeing to play the role of happily married couple is risky enough. Doing it with the man she’s secretly loved for years, while the whole town throws themselves into the charade, might just end in disaster. Still, Lee can't help but wonder if their fake relationship could finally be the start of something real.
