Spellbound
When Phil Hanley was in year one at school, he realised something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn’t read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him, and he slipped through the school’s cracks, year by year falling further and further behind his friends. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life. Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life defined by unconventional twists, including a stint as a runway model in Europe. Eventually, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Unlike so many previous pursuits, stand-up felt right to Phil, and he soon discovered that the more he worked at it, the more he got out of it - a realisation that, he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humour and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you do, and of triumph over adversity. Phil shows us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but it doesn’t spell certain condemnation (and neither can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his life - it’s been his North Star.
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.
The Jump
Brooke Haskell’s got big dreams . . . and she’s running out of time. The equestrian life Brooke craves has always been just outside her reach, but, like every horse girl, she believes that pluck, heart, and hard work can catapult anyone into greatness. Unfortunately, her horse Roxie doesn’t seem to agree. After her most disappointing horse show to date and with only one more year before graduation and real life take over, Brooke is finally upset enough to do something rash. She decides to ditch her college plans and her parents’ wishes, risking everything to apprentice with one of the country’s most famous equestrians, Eddie O’Neill. As she plunges headfirst into the breakneck pace of a top training stable, Brooke finally feels like she belongs. Her fellow working student might be a trust-fund Instagram star, but they bond over their shared love of horses. And sparks fly with a colleague who seems to love this version of Brooke. But when Roxie goes from steady improvement to angry rebellion, Brooke realises Eddie’s reputation for training winners may come at a steep price. Brooke is finally poised to have the life she always wanted—but at what cost? Will she discover an uncomfortable truth about her idol, and what is she willing to give up in order to defend the sport she love? gainst the riveting high-stakes backdrop of the equestrian world, Reinert explores the passions that drive us, the love affairs that fuel us, and the partnerships—both animal and human—that help us thrive and find 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.

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.

Daughter of Egypt
In the 1920s, archaeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon of Highclere Castle made headlines around the world with the discovery of the treasure-filled tomb of the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun. But behind it all stood Lady Evelyn Herbert—daughter of Lord Carnarvon—whose daring spirit and relentless curiosity made the momentous find possible. Nearly 3,000 years earlier, another woman defied the expectations of her time: Hatshepsut, Egypt’s lost pharaoh. Her reign was bold, visionary—and nearly erased from history. When Evelyn becomes obsessed with finding Hatshepsut’s secret tomb, she risks everything to uncover the truth about her reign and keep valued artifacts in Egypt, their rightful home. But as danger closes in and political tensions rise, she must make an impossible choice: protect her father’s legacy—or forge her own. Propelled by high adventure and deadly intrigue, Daughter of Egypt is the story of two ambitious women who lived centuries apart. Both were forced to hide who they were during their lifetimes yet ultimately changed history forever.

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?

Returns to Marrakesh / Retour a Marrakech
"On the way to Marrakesh, a superb sunrise, the sun high in the sky." With this simple yet luminous opening, Abdelwahab Meddeb invites the reader to wander the vibrant streets and sacred sites of this lively city in the heart of Morocco. Returns to Marrakesh chronicles Meddeb’s return visits to the Red City from 1968 through the 1990s, documenting both his personal journey and the city’s transformation across three pivotal decades. Through his distinctive blend of poetic prose and keen observation, Meddeb reveals Marrakesh as a historical crossroads where diverse populations—Jewish and Muslim communities, different social classes, Sufi mystics, and merchants—have created a uniquely multilayered urban space. Capturing Marrakesh’s sounds, scents, and sights, these vivid travel notes portrays a city teeming with life and infused with an intense array of colors. The bilingual edition includes both Meddeb’s original French and its English translation, making accessible the work of one of North Africa’s most important voices.
