Why We Click
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF YOU'RE NOT LISTENINGHave you ever met someone and felt an immediate connection? Are there people in your life who always seem to lift your spirits, while others just as reliably drag you down? Do people actually emit vibes? Are bad habits contagious? In Why We Click, bestselling author Kate Murphy explores the emerging science of interpersonal synchrony – the most important social dynamic most people have never heard of. This seemingly magical yet science-backed phenomenon is fundamental to human connection, bonding and attachment. By subconsciously mimicking one another’s movements, facial expressions and gestures – not to mention syncing our heart rates, blood pressure, pupil dilation and brainwaves – we internalize and develop empathy for one another. Weaving together science, philosophy, history, literature, pop culture and plenty of real-world examples, Murphy reveals that our emotions, moods, attitudes and subsequent behaviours can be contagious – and can have a profound impact on our health and well-being. With curiosity, concision and wit, Murphy uncovers why being ‘in tune’ and ‘on the same wavelength’ are more than just turns of phrase and offers a new way of thinking about our everyday human interactions.

Nine Days in May
The General Strike of 1926: the tragic story of how the world''s best organized working class confronted the world''s most powerful, and self-confident, government.In May, 1926, nearly three million British workers downed tools to support nearly one million of their countrymen, miners whose employers meant to lengthen their working day and cut their pay. This General Strike brought the country to a grinding halt - which, according to Conservative Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, represented a threat not merely to the nation but to the parliamentary system itself. For nine days, the world''s best organized working class confronted the world''s most powerful, and self-confident, government. And yet the outcome was never in doubt, for Britain''s most important trade-union leaders thought as Baldwin did, although they kept saying they were engaged in a wages dispute only. Really, they feared winning even more than they feared losing.In Nine Days in May, award-winning author and historian Jonathan Schneer mines hitherto untapped archival sources to explain why and how the Strike came about, why and how it was waged and countered, why and how it ended. In addition to government reports and TUC reports, he uses reports of undercover agents and spies, "special" constables sworn in for the duration of the Strike, volunteer strike-breakers, Communist agitators, trade-union leaders and rank-and-file members of trade unions; also, of course, the papers of politicians of all parties.This is a tale of Shakespearian dimensions, replete with tragic heroes and villains and buffoons and opportunists and double-dealers, and contending, evenly matched, forces - both of which meant to do their duty whatever the cost. There may never be another general strike in Britain, but the General Strike of 1926 was one for the ages, illuminating the human condition.
The Power of Parting
'Brave and groundbreaking' – Lori Gottlieb, psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. This myth-shattering, inspiring book combines research and memoir to explore the growing phenomenon of cutting ties from toxic relatives – showing it not as a tragedy, but as an empowering and effective solution. After decades of enduring his mother’s physical and psychological torment and years of trying in vain to set boundaries, Eamon Dolan took a radical step: he cut his mother out of his life. Parting with his abuser gave him immediate relief and set him on a path toward freedom, confidence and joy like none he had ever felt before. In The Power of Parting, Dolan has written the book he wishes he’d had when he was struggling to free himself from his mother’s abuse. As high-profile cases like the Beckham family tensions bring these difficult conversations into the mainstream, Dolan reveals the hidden statistics: One in five UK families will be affected by estrangement, and at least 27 per cent of Americans are estranged from a parent, sibling or other family member. Estrangement should be understood and embraced, not shrouded in shame. Drawing on his experience, expert guidance and the stories of other survivors, Dolan first explains why abuse harms us in childhood and beyond, and why limiting or eliminating contact might be our best possible choice. He then takes us through the steps of a positive estrangement: how to take time for yourself; how to set rules for your abuser and – if they don’t respect your limits – how to end a toxic relationship. He also offers counsel on how to ease the guilt and grief that often accompany parting. With a blend of clarity and empathy, Dolan encourages others to do what he ultimately did for himself: determine whether the people in your life treat you with the care and concern you deserve – and part ways with them if they don’t.

I couldn’t stop reading it. 5 stars - Noah, aged 9 A laugh-out-loud new adventure from Paddington star Hugh Bonneville, perfect for fans of the real-world mischief, relatable characters and short episodic stories of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Horrid Henry and Just William, and filled with brilliantly funny illustrations from Loretta Schauer. Rory Sparkes can’t stand his red hair, freckles and being unusually tall, because all he’s ever wanted is to fit in. Donna loves being loud, charging around and starting water fights. Donna is terrible at fitting in. That’s probably because she is an elephant! When Donna and the circus stomp into Rory’s life, they bring him more attention than ever. But maybe their chaos, noise and friendship is actually exactly what he needs?
La Maison
In this bold and intimate semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker transports the reader behind the closed doors of a Berlin brothel, where she worked for two years not only to earn a living, but to immerse herself in a world she wanted to understand – and to write about with unflinching honesty. What emerges is a deeply personal, unsentimental, and often surprising account of life inside the brothel, where Becker explores not just the physical aspects of sex work, but the emotional, psychological, and social complexities that shape it. With frankness and literary insight, she recounts her encounters with clients, her growing self-awareness, and, most poignantly, the friendships and solidarity she finds among the other women who work there. Far from reducing sex work to cliché or voyeurism, Becker gives space to the quiet routines, shared laughter, private pain, and hard-won dignity of a profession often misunderstood and rarely written about from the inside. Part memoir, part sociological study, and wholly literary, La Maison challenges preconceptions about sex, agency, and femininity, offering a provocative and compassionate exploration of what it means to inhabit multiple identities—as worker, writer, woman, and witness.

Braving The Storm
I’m not supposed to feel this way…
To my family, I’m only useful for one thing: my surname. I’m Briar Lane. My father’s chess piece. A pawn to be traded.
But all it took was a dirty secret stuffed in a jacket pocket to unravel my world and send me running to the one place I knew they would never find me: Crimson Ridge.
I thought I’d be starting over alone. I never expected to find my father’s adopted brother, the ex-pro bull rider who consumes my space, and now, my every thought with it… Stôrmand Lane.
All it took was one misunderstanding to change everything.
I’m not supposed to know what those tattooed hands feel like, to feel butterflies anytime that pair of piercing blue eyes meet mine.
He might be my every fantasy, but he’s a temptation I have to ignore. Long nights spent in this tiny cabin can’t be the excuse to step into forbidden territory.
Or can they?
