The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, vol. 2
'I was sitting at my desk reading, with a cup of tea, my windows flung open, when I heard The Tenant enter his garret, just on the other side of the wall from myself.'
The year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighbourhood of St. Crispian's. But Emma's plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian's.
Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be, which comprise a series of volumes. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.
How Lucky Am I
In this poignant, affirming, and beautifully illustrated journey, Mr Skelly explores the ups and downs of existence and discovers the makings of a meaningful life.
"How lucky am I, to have lost what I wanted, to find what I deserved"
Join beloved Mr Skelly, a gentle skeleton wandering across lush landscapes and treacherous terrains, through times of joy, loss, grief and love, to find his family and - ultimately - a safe home.
Along the way, he discovers life lessons which help us remember what to hold onto and what to let go of, to realise how lucky we all are, because this beautifully fragile present moment is truly all we have.
Mr Skelly invites you to shift your lens, make peace with what you can't control, appreciate what can't be seen, and live your life to the utmost of your ability.
How Lucky Am I is a simple reminder that, in the end, we're all made of the same bones. With gentle words and hand-painted imagery, this book hopes to shine a softer light on what's often overlooked - and maybe, in doing so, help us remember what truly matters.
What people are already saying...
"It's a pocket sized reset button, a collection of reminders that help you breathe a little deeper and feel a little lighter."
"What truly stayed with me is the message that it's okay not to be okay and that we should be gentle with ourselves. We don't get extra time in life, but we do get the time we have. And we can choose to fill that time with kindness, especially toward ourselves."
"Thank you, Christian Watson, for sharing this magnificent creation with the world. Mr. Skelly is exactly what we all need right now."
Biological War - A Scenario
There is an invisible weapon among us.
By the time you know you are a victim, it has turned you into a killer.
A compelling, fast-paced, ticking clock non-fiction thriller from the author of the bestselling Nuclear War: A Scenario.
A lab accident, a bio-attack, a global pandemic, and the collapse of human society. In this explosive new book, based on dozens of new interviews with experts with high-level political, governmental, medical, and military responsibility, Annie Jacobsen examines this very scenario.
There is no mushroom cloud, no shock wave or blast. Instead, the scenario that could end the world as we know it begins with something so small and malicious, that when used for evil, only evil can result.
This is what could happen; a roadmap to the hours, days, and weeks following the release of a biological agent, that serves as the most essential, forward-looking journalism in preparation for urgent societal upheaval.
Madame Bovary
Presented in a stunning collector's edition with gilded page edges, this 19th-century French masterpiece captures the tragic allure of Emma Bovary and the societal critique that made Flaubert a legend.
The publication of this masterpiece of realism gave rise to an obscenity trial 1857, which earned Flaubert an acquittal, and established Emma Bovary as one of literature's greatest characters.

Trapped in a marriage to a second-rate provincial doctor, she escapes the suffocating confines of her existence by immersing herself in sentimental novels. Her idealization of beauty, romance and high society lead her into an affair with a philandering neighbor. When this ends, she is quickly drawn into a liaison that has far more dangerous consequences.

Give and Take
The pioneering social scientist reveals the power of helping others as key to personal success and transforming organisations, in his debut book reissued with a brand new afterword
Everybody knows that hard work, luck and talent each plays a role in our working lives. In his landmark debut, Adam Grant illuminates the importance of a fourth, increasingly critical factor - that the best way to get to the top is to bring others with you. Give and Take changes our fundamental understanding of why we succeed, offering a new model for our relationships with colleagues, clients and competitors. Using his own cutting-edge research as a professor at the Wharton School, as well as success stories from Hollywood to history, Grant shows that nice guys need not finish last. He demonstrates how smart givers avoid becoming doormats, and why this kind of success has the power to transform not just individuals and groups, but entire organisations and communities.
I, Medusa
From New York Times bestselling author Ayana Gray comes a new kind of villain origin story, re-imagining one of the most iconic monsters in Greek mythology as a provocative and powerful young heroine.
Meddy has spent her whole life as a footnote in someone else's story. Out of place next to her beautiful, immortal sisters and her parents-both gods, albeit minor ones-she dreams of leaving her family's island for a life of adventure. So when she catches the eye of the goddess Athena, who invites her to train as an esteemed priestess in her temple, Meddy leaps at the chance to see the world beyond her home.
In Athens' colourful market streets and the clandestine chambers of the temple, Meddy flourishes in her role as Athena's favoured acolyte, getting her first tastes of purpose and power. But when she is noticed by another Olympian, Poseidon, a drunken night between girl and god ends in violence, and the course of Meddy's promising future is suddenly and irrevocably altered.
Her locs transformed into snakes as punishment for a crime she did not commit, Medusa must embrace a new identity-not as a victim, but as a vigilante-and with it, the chance to write her own story as mortal, martyr, and myth.
Exploding with rage, heartbreak, and love, I, Medusa portrays a young woman caught in the cross currents between her heart's deepest desires and the cruel, careless games the Olympian gods play.

Roman Fever
Tales of betrayal, rivalry and loss from the great chronicler of New York's Gilded Age, in an irresistible Little Clothbound Classics edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith
In these elegant and devastating tales of deception, desire and social intrigue, Edith Wharton exposes the brittle veneer of civility that masks human ambition and longing.

In 'Roman Fever', two middle-aged women confront the unspoken rivalries that have shadowed their friendship for decades; in 'Mrs. Manstey's View', a lonely widow's cherished glimpse of life beyond her window becomes the stage for a quiet tragedy; and in 'After Holbein', the elaborate pretences of two ageing New Yorkers reveal the haunting persistence of vanity and illusion.
