The Sunflower House
In a sleepy German village, Allina Gottlieb's life is idyllic: she works at the bookshop with her uncle, makes strudel with her aunt, and spends the weekends with her friends and fiancé. But it's 1939, and on one fateful night, her life changes forever. The Sunflower House is a meticulously-researched debut historical novel set at Hochland Home, part of the notorious Lebensborn Program in Nazi Germany - a real-life Handmaid’s Tale. Women of “pure” blood resided there for the sole purpose of perpetuating the Aryan population, giving birth to hundreds of babies who were then raised - and neglected - in this state-run baby factory. With her life on the line, Allina is forced to work as a nurse in Hochland Home. Her Jewish identity must remain a secret in order for her to survive, but when she discovers the neglect occurring within the home, she is determined not only to save herself, but also the children in her care. The Sunflower House is as much a story of one woman’s determination to resist and survive, as it is a love story. When Allina meets Karl, a high-ranking SS officer with secrets of his own, the two must decide how much they are willing to share with each other - and how much they can stand to risk. The threads of this poignant and heartrending novel weave a tale of loss and love, friendship and betrayal, and the secrets we bury in order to save ourselves.
Not Going Back
Despite intense political debate, attitudes on abortion were remarkably stable for decades. However, after the 2022 Dobbs decision, Americans' opinions began to change. Not Going Back explores the shifts in public opinion on this hot-button issue from the landmark passing of Roe v. Wade in 1973 through the 2024 election and into 2025. The authors ask, "What role do Americans want their government to play in protecting, regulating, or restricting abortion access?" and, "How will changing attitudes on abortion reshape American politics?" They offer cohesive, theoretically grounded explanations for both the continuity and the change in Americans' attitudes on this contentious topic. Using national data, they take a deep dive into the personal experiences and social forces behind these changes. Not Going Back ends with an examination of the consequences of these changes for election outcomes. While there has been a striking reversal in the prioritization of abortion as an issue among Democrats and Republicans, the full impact of this shift in thinking will be influenced by future policies, court decisions, and party reactions.
You Did Nothing Wrong
Single mother Elodie’s life has become a fairy tale. She’s met Bren, equal parts golden-retriever devoted and sinfully handsome. He’s whisked her and her autistic son, Jude, to the crumbling family house he’s renovating. She has a new husband, a new house, and a new baby on the way. Everything is perfect. Then Jude claims he can hear voices in the walls. He says their renovations are “hurting” the house. Even Elodie can’t ignore it–something strange is going on. The question is, is it with the house, or with her son? Then the one secret Elodie has been hiding is revealed, and no one is safe anymore.
A pulse-pounding, clever take on the haunted house novel, You Did Nothing Wrong examines the complexities of motherhood and the twisted bonds of family as it races to its shocking ending.

Real Wrexham
In Real Wrexham: Becoming the City local writer Sara Erddig explores the melting pot of communities, cultures and histories which make Wrexham what it is today. This place has seen a lot of change since Grahame Davies wrote the first Real Wrexham in 2007, not least the Hollywood takeover of its football club. Sara’s illustrated, offbeat guide brings the story right up to date, presenting Wrexham through her eyes. Taking in everything from its industrial past to its thriving arts scene, from Wrexham the town to Wrexham the city (as the county became in 2022), she’s out on the ground celebrating Wrexham in its city ‘era’, and as you’ve never seen it before.
She Drinks the Light
Addae has spent her whole life on the Golden Isle, a private island off the coast of South Carolina that has been in her family for centuries. Island residents don’t really fraternise with mainlanders, and for good reason. Golden Isle was founded by the Kinfolk, descendants - including Addae and her Nana Ama, the island matriarch - of escaped enslaved Black people. But the Isle and the Kinfolk have secrets that must be protected from the outside world. Secrets of spirituality, mythology that are deeply rooted in their West African culture, beliefs, and traditions. The Kin are bound to protect the Golden Isle, and, in turn, it protects them. When Addae’s best friend Naria goes missing and one of the Kin turns up drained of blood, Addae's way of life is threatened. It looks like the work of the Adze, West African supernatural beings that drink human blood in order to survive - also known as vampires. Believing Naira is alive, Addae travels to the mainland. But as Addae gets closer to finding Naria, she uncovers deep secrets about Nana Ama’s past, and about her own… secrets that could change how she feels about the Golden Isle and her lineage. Torn between two worlds, Addae will have to decide how far she is willing to go - and who she is willing to cross - to save her best friend, and even herself.
Mrs. Orwell
The end of the world is at hand. The Roaring Twenties are over, fascist forces are on the rise across Europe, and the dream of a workers’ paradise is all but dead. But in the midst of these turbulent times, a turbulent love story unfolds - one that would forever reshape our perception of totalitarianism. Mrs. Orwell follows poet Eileen Blair and her husband, George Orwell, as they forge the professional and romantic partnership that would eventually bring us Animal Farm and 1984. From a honeymoon fighting fascists in the Spanish Civil War, to a narrow escape from Stalin’s agents and an even narrower escape from the London blitz, the Blairs’ campaign against fascism would bring them face-to-face with some of the greatest threats of the 1930s. But while Orwell struggles to make his voice heard against the pressures of political censorship, Eileen must fight to preserve her own voice within a marriage that threatened to consume her. This sweeping account of Eileen Blair’s brief but dazzling life casts new light on a long-overlooked figure, and her persistent defense of that most beloved, most vulnerable principle: the power of the pen.
Dance of Oneness
Most of us live in our heads and miss out on experiencing our bodies as a portal to the present moment and true happiness. In this guide, Banafsheh Sayyad offers a transformative healing path to reconnect with yourself as a being of love, ground your spirituality in your body, and embrace ease, joy, and freedom. This work isn’t about professional dance techniques. Instead, Sayyad shares how dance can help you honour the body as the physical expression of the soul: miraculous, wise, and full of wonder. Through her healing modality, Dance of Oneness - a fusion of Taoist, Sufi, and Divine Feminine wisdom with flamenco, tai chi, Persian dance, and Sufi whirling - Sayyad guides you to release blockages, activate your light body, and rediscover your vitality and purpose. For the first time in a book, readers are initiated into whirling as a portal to higher dimensions and profound transformation. “Dance of Oneness invites you to live your life as a dance that brings you into unity with all, through embodied love,” offers Sayyad. “True embodiment is about experiencing yourself as a channel of light to help heal the earth.” With wisdom teachings, embodiment practices, insights from Rumi’s inspirational poetry, and Sayyad’s own story out of Iran and into the freedom that dance spirituality gave her, Dance of Oneness invites you to open to the flow of love and embrace a soul-filled life.

In her newest novel, bestselling author Christina Wyman tackles a quintessential school experience - acne - with her trademark humour, honesty, and heart.

Ohavné mordy boleslavské
V kališnické Mladé Boleslavi otřese poklidným ránem useknutý prst nalezený před domem bohatého kupce Pavla. Krátce nato je v městském rybníku objeveno tělo zavražděného truhláře Štěpána. Rychtář z jeho vraždy téměř bez důkazů obviní Pavla, a to jen proto, že zavražděný se kdysi ucházel o kupcovu ženu Matyldu. Matylda se poté obrací s žádostí o pomoc na krajského hejtmana Jiřího z Poděbrad, který pověří vyšetřováním rytíře Lukáše z Velyně, bývalého husitského bojovníka. Jeho společníkem se stává rytíř Norbert z Malkova, přítel majitele boleslavského panství. Původní obvinění se záhy začíná hroutit, zatímco zohyzděných mrtvol naopak přibývá. Nic nedává smysl a vyšetřovatelé se pro odhalení tajemného vraha musejí ponořit hluboko do minulosti.

A Bletchley rejtjelek
Ne feledje, hogy köti önt a hivatali titoktartásról szóló törvény...
1940 nyara.
A tizenkilenc éves Jakob Novis és különc kishúga, Lizzie szeretik a rejtvényeket és a fejtörőket. És most ilyen megoldandó rejtélyek között élnek. Az egymással kissé hadilábon álló testvérpár a második világháború egyik legnagyobb titkának, „Nagy-Britannia különös kódfejtő gyárának” közepén találja magát, a Bletchley Parkban. Amíg Jakob csatlakozik Bletchley legnagyobb kódfejtő elméihez, hogy feltörje a náci hadsereg rejtjeleit, a tizennégy éves Lizzie saját küldetésre indul, hogy feltárja anyjuk titokzatos eltűnésének nyomait. Dúl az angliai csata, és Hitler inváziója egyre közelebb ér. Zavarba ejtő üzenetek és kódok érkeznek, és egy fenyegető felügyelő is ólálkodik a Bletchley-kastély kapuja előtt. Vajon az üzenetek valóban nekik szólnak, vagy mindez csapda? Vajon az Enigma-gép és anyjuk eltűnése összefügghet?
Jakobnak és Lizzie-nek meg kell találnia a módját, hogy együtt dolgozzanak, miközben egymással versenyezve igyekeznek megfejteni a nyomokat. És meg kell oldaniuk azt a másik megdöbbentő rejtvényt is, amely a legnagyobb kihívást jelentheti: meddig kell megőrizni egy titkot?
Máš nárok na život
Co kdybyste věděli, že vám zbývá jen jeden rok života?
Ne jako dramatická představa, ale jako jednoduchý filtr pro každé rozhodnutí: Stojí tahle věc opravdu za můj čas?
Německá autorka Alexandra Reinwarth si tuto otázku položila a rozhodla se podle ní jeden rok žít. Výsledek byl překvapivý. Najednou začaly být některé věci naprosto zbytečné – nekonečné pracovní povinnosti, konflikty, očekávání druhých. A jiné věci se naopak ukázaly jako mnohem důležitější, než si kdy myslela.
V této osobní a velmi čtivé knize ukazuje, jak může jednoduchý myšlenkový experiment radikálně změnit náš pohled na práci, vztahy, přátelství i každodenní rozhodování.
Máš nárok na život není návod na radikální změnu života. Je to spíš pozvání položit si otázku, kterou si klademe příliš zřídka: Co je v mém životě opravdu důležité – a proč to odkládám na později?
