What Hunger
This is not a tale where the girl is running away from danger - instead, she is the danger. It's the summer before high school and Ronny Nguyen is too young for work and too old for cartoons. Instead, she spends her days falling asleep to trashy magazines on a plastic lawn chair in her small backyard.She's a stark contrast to her older brother Tommy, her immigrant parents' pride and joy. Ronny can't bear to think about what it will be like when Tommy, with whom she's always been close, goes to college and leaves her alone with Me and Ba in their quiet house. Their parents never speak of their childhoods or families in Vietnam, except in the context of food: thick spring rolls with slim and salty nem nuong; bright yellow rice noodles called mi quang, steaming bowls of pho tai with thin, delicate slices of blood-red beef floating on top.In the aftermath of the war, Me and Ba explained, meat became dangerous. Ronny and Tommy must never take their lives - or their food - for granted. Well, Ronny never had much of an appetite for meat, and life on the wrong side of the highway in a white suburb has never been easy.But then tragedy strikes, and everything Ronny thought she knew about herself or her life, changes in an instant. A few nights later at her first high school party, a boy does not take no for answer and suddenly Ronny is overtaken by a force, an urge, larger than herself. As Ronny comes into her own power, she discovers a new taste for life that is poised to save her, even as it threatens to destroy everything and everyone around her."Whether it took days, or months, or years, I would come for him. And I would savour the moment."

You Can Just Do Things
'A guide to building life on your own terms.' Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit
It's refreshing to read a book so ambitious and humane at the same time.' Ali Abdaal, author of Feel-Good Positivity
__________
Extraordinary results don't require genius or grit – they require agency, and anyone can build it
You've been taught success comes from careful planning, learning the ropes, and earning one promotion at a time. But what about the people who seem to skip all that?
We all know a few rare individuals who never stop moving, taking wild risks, and collecting public failures, yet somehow always seem to land on top. They act with confidence while you second-guess. They jump while you're still researching. They ask forgiveness instead of permission, and the world rewards them for it.
Why don't the rules apply to them?
Because they're not rules. They're productivity guidelines for people who've been trained to wait for permission.
High-agency people act on the world rather than letting the world act on them. They don't wait to feel ready. They don't ask if they're qualified. They simply do things, and the results follow.
You Can Just Do Things reveals the specific strategies that separate those who achieve from those who wait:Increase your surface area for luck – put yourself where opportunities can find you
Take every shortcut available – the "proper path" is often just slower, not better
Build forcing functions – design systems that make backing out harder than following through
Use your deepest insecurities as fuel – your shame contains your most powerful motivation
The gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't about talent, discipline or working harder. It's about whether you're willing to claim ownership over your own life. It's to stop asking if you're allowed and start simply doing.
This book won't teach you time management or goal-setting. It's a journey and a toolkit for bold living. It will show you how to recognize when you're defaulting to helplessness, how to build the muscle of decisive action, and how to navigate toward a life that's actually yours.
Stop asking permission. Start doing things.

Yet when their wedding descends into bloodshed, the man meant to be her escape becomes her captor, imprisoning her in her own dungeons. There, Mireille uncovers the truth of her father’s sins, discovering she's not alone beneath the castle. A voice calls from the cell beside her, a man as dangerous as he is alluring, offering a single thread of light in the darkness.
Dragged into a brutal struggle for survival, Mireille is caught between two powerful beings that threaten to consume her entirely: one demanding obedience, and the other craving what little soul she has left.
But Mireille was not born to kneel.*This is a dark fantasy romance for a mature, 18+ audience and contains themes and content that aren’t to everyone’s liking. Please check the author’s note at the beginning of the book for content warnings before reading.*

The Story of CO2 Is the Story of Everything
All life is made from CO2 . It was there at earth’s birth, and throughout evolution. It has kept our planet habitable for hundreds of millions of years. It has given us all the splendours of the world we know today. And yet it also holds the potential for life's destruction.In this gripping adventure through eras and places, award-winning science journalist Peter Brannen tells the story of the world’s most important molecule. We travel from the beginning of time all the way up to our present reality, witnessing the staggering journey that CO2 has undertaken.As we watch its movements through the rocks, the air, the oceans and living beings over four billion years, we come to see more clearly what it means for us to be churning through ancient life – in the form of fossil fuels – as we power our industrial world. We are, Brannen shows, performing an unprecedented experiment on our planet. If we are to avoid its catastrophic consequences, we must all begin to deepen our understanding of this curious substance, which has given us everything from the very first life forms on earth to the business titans reshaping our planet today.
