Sinners Anonymous
She's seeking redemption. He's determined to ruin her.
My name is Rory Carter, and I do bad things.
I might smile like an angel, but underneath, my soul is far from clean.
Not even my weekly calls to the Sinners Anonymous hotline can change that.
Marrying the seventy-year-old head of the Cosa Nostra to save my father was the closest I've come to doing good.
And I was surviving - one lie, one smile, one silk dress at a time - until his nephew showed up uninvited.
Angelo "Vicious" Visconti. A beautiful monster with a sharper tongue than conscience. They say he went straight years ago, but I don't believe it.
Because Angelo is danger wrapped in desire - and when he looks at me, I can't tell if he wants to ruin me or save me.
Sinners Condemned
No good ever comes from a redhead in a stolen dress with her whole life packed at her feet.
I should've known Penny Price was trouble the moment smoke and sin followed her into my bar and she challenged me to a game.
I thought the only thing she stole was my watch. Little did I know, she also started a war.
Because the second her muddy boots stomped down the stairs of the club, my empire began to crack.
My cashmere charm is fraying. My gentleman's mask is slipping. My enemies can smell the weakness. Penny Price thinks she's dragging me to hell.
But she doesn't realise - hell's exactly where I belong.
After all, it's wonderfully warm among the flames…
The Faraway Inn
When sixteen-year-old Calisa arrives at her great-aunt's bed and breakfast for the summer, she's shocked to find it run down rather than cosy. Grumpy and eccentric, Auntie Zee is determined to keep anyone from messing with her beloved inn . . . even though she clearly needs the help.
To convince her great-aunt to keep her around, Calisa sets to work fixing up the inn, enlisting extra help from the groundkeeper's (handsome) son. But the longer she stays, the surer she is that there's something strange about the B&B - and its residents.
Something almost . . . otherworldly.
The inn is hiding a magical secret - but secrets are like doors. Once Calisa opens this one, she won't be able to go back ...

Radio silence - Rádiócsend
Mi van, ha minden, amit eddig hittünk magunkról, tévedés?
Frances mindig is tanulógép volt, egyetlen céllal maga előtt: bejutni egy elit egyetemre. Semmi sem állhatott az útjába. Sem a barátok, sem egy nyomasztó titok – még az sem, hogy ki ő valójában, a szíve mélyén.
Amikor Frances találkozik Aleddel, a kedvenc podcastjának zseniálisan tehetséges, de visszahúzódó alkotójával, egy teljesen új világot fedez fel. Aled megnyitja előtte az ajtót a valódi Frances felé, és a lány először tapasztalja meg, milyen az igazi barátság – amelyben félelem nélkül önmaga lehet.
Aztán a podcast hirtelen nagyon népszerűvé válik, és a barátok között kialakult törékeny bizalom darabokra hullik.
Frances a régi és az új énje közt reked. Az álmai összeomlanak. A bűntudat szorításában ráébred, hogy nincs más választása, szembe kell néznie a múltjával…
Be kell vallania, miért tűnt el régi barátja, Carys.
Közben az egyetemen Aled is magára marad, és sötét titkokkal küzd.
Csak a félelmeinkkel való szembenézés vezethet győzelemhez. És csak önmagunk felvállalásával találhatjuk meg a boldogságot.
Francesnek ehhez minden bátorságára szüksége lesz.
Lebilincselő ifjúsági regény, amely az önmagunk keresésének, az elvárásoknak és a választás szabadságának kérdéseit boncolgatja – a korosztály egyik legizgalmasabb írójának tollából
How to Talk to AI
Discover how artificial intelligence thinks and reasons, and how we can make the most of their super-human abilities, in the must read new book from the prize-winning technology writer and author of The Dark Net and The People vs Tech.
A BBC 'BOOK YOU NEED TO READ IN 2026'
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'[An] essential read' Emma Saunders, BBC Culture Reporter
Knowing how to speak to AI - and how not to - is a skill that everyone now needs.
Hundreds of millions of people now talk to AI, such as ChatGPT, every day. They organise their finances and holidays, ask advice, seek therapy and find love - via machines. Almost overnight, chatbots are transforming society, politics and business. This is one of the biggest and fastest technological changes in history.
However, most people still don't really understand how AI works, how to make the most of it - or what the dangers are. As some people use it to turbo-charge their productivity at work, others are falling into dangerous conspiracies, delusions and psychosis.
In How to Talk to AI, award-winning technology writer Jamie Bartlett takes you inside the machine: showing how we can stay in control of our powerful new companions, even as they are changing the way we live, feel, and think.
Written in his accessible style, How to Talk to AI is the essential and empowering guide to help you understand how to make the most of these incredible new technologies, without succumbing to new powers of manipulation and control.
Run Forever
‘We don’t stop running because we get old. We get old because we stop running.’ Is it inevitable that our running performance slides as we get into our forties and beyond? Or are there things we can do to slow or even pause the decline, master our midlife and use experience as a superpower and become an ageless ace? In Run Forever, record-breaking GB ultrarunner Damian Hall, fifty, examines the reasons why our strength and speed might deteriorate, yet how it isn’t certain if we choose to do something about it. In running, like other sports, there have been phenomenal performances from masters athletes, and while ageing is unavoidable, how we age isn’t. Becoming an ageless ace has potentially extraordinary healthspan and longevity benefits away from running. Featuring chapters on speed, strength, mindset, sleep and nutrition, Hall draws on the knowledge of experts and shares the stories of other runners – including five-time Olympian and European 10,000 metres champion Jo Pavey, and record-breaking ultrarunner Nicky Spinks – to provide advice for how we can keep running strong and enjoying it for as long as possible. World-renowned sports dietitian, author and ultrarunner Renee McGregor explains how ageing affects female runners, especially around perimenopause and menopause, and leading strength and conditioning coach Pete Stables provides knowledge and exercises for the masters athlete. Ageing is inevitable. Slowing down is optional. Run Forever gives you the tools to keep moving – stronger, smarter, longer.

Titanic Women's Stories
‘I feel you have captured the essence of my Great Aunt Helen.’ – Howard Ostby, descendant of Titanic survivor Helen OstbyThe early 1900s were a man’s world, and the Titanic was no exception. Even today, the stories we know about that fateful night mostly revolve around men and their actions, despite there having been nearly 500 women and girls on board. From the stewardess who survived three different maritime disasters to the mother whose young children were kidnapped and taken aboard the Titanic, and from the Carpathia passenger whose reports on the Titanic started a journalism career to the woman who went down with the ship but who no one remembered seeing, Melinda E. Ratchford tells the stories of women whose lives were inextricably linked to the sinking, revealing the world as it was for women in 1912. Titanic Women’s Stories is an investigation into the lives of these women before, during and after the tragedy that irrevocably changed both their world and ours.
Tina
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND IRISH TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER. THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. _ Hope taught me the meaning of life, Tina taught me the meaning of love. It's not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand. When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately – golden retrievers are rare in Thailand – but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more. He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love. Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider – always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail. From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world – whether they're street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped. This is her story.
The Hitch
A New York Times Book Review Editors’ PickA riotously sharp novel about self-righteousness, control, and the unexpected afterlife of a dogRose Cutler prides herself on her principles—veganism, feminism, eco-consciousness, and general moral superiority. She runs a yogurt business she quietly despises and lives alone, comfortably distanced from the mess of human relationships. But, when her brother and sister-in-law let her watch her six-year-old nephew Nathan, things go spectacularly wrong. After Rose’s dog kills a corgi at the park, Nathan begins to bark, overeat, and claim that the dead dog has possessed his body. Rose assumes this is trauma. Nathan insists it’s metaphysical fact. As Rose embarks on a misguided quest to free Nathan from his canine passenger, what begins as an attempt at childcare devolves into a surreal, anarchic spiral of suburban chaos. Brimming with unhinged charm and moral ambiguity, The Hitch is a biting satire of the stories we tell ourselves to stay sane—and the havoc we wreak when those stories fall apart.
One Fine Day
Discover that breaking wind can often break the tension in this hilarious picture book from comic author Justin Worsley, the creator of Henry: The Artistic Dog. One fine morning in the forest, Moose is preparing for a perfect day of landscape painting on the lakeshore. On the other side of the valley, Bear eats his breakfast of beans, makes bean sandwiches for lunch, and gets ready for a day of fishing . . . Later, down by the lake, the two unexpectedly bump into one another in a very annoying way, and come together, face to face in a stand-off. How will Bear and Moose clear the air?
BoyMum
''BoyMum is one of the most thought-provoking books I''ve read as a parent'' The Times BoyMum is about boys and young men - how we are raising them, and what it means to be a man-in-the-making in an era when #MeToo has challenged our tolerance for toxic masculinity, yet the pressure on young men to be ''masculine'' has never been more intense.It is also a mother''s perspective. Ruth Whippman is the proud/overwhelmed, feminist mother of three boys and her family life can be a daily confrontation with the triumph of nature over nurture. All too aware that her parenting today will shape the men her sons become tomorrow, she explores the expectations placed on boys - must boys be boys?; the messages we send girls but not boys (but they really need to hear too); boys in the classroom and boys online; incels; entitlement, sexual harassment and "cancel culture" and what radicalizes young men.Blending memoir with cultural analysis, and approaching her subject with wit, honesty and open-mindedness, this is a sympathetic investigation into where we are going wrong with raising boys, and how trying to change those patterns must be one of society''s most urgent cultural projects. Praise for Ruth Whippman and The Pursuit of Happiness - "A whip-sharp British Bill Bryson" The Sunday Times - "Ruth Whippman is whip-smart, her writing nothing short of genius" Huffington Post- The Pursuit of Happiness was a New York Post Best Book of 2016, a New York Times Editors'' Choice and Paperback Row pick, one of Newsweek''s ''Nine Books to Change the Way You Think in 2016'', a Sunday Times top summer read and a Daily Mail ''Must Read''.- Ruth Whippman manages the trick of being funny about what is, deep down, a serious problem: the American quest for happiness isn''t working" Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks- "I LOVED this book. I found it SO WELL WRITTEN, so witty and funny and reading it I was often envious of Ruth Whippman''s facility with language. It was a hugely engaging read, accessible and so relevant... I''ve been quite evangelical about it." Marian Keyes, best-selling author of Grown Ups
