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.

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

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
