Take a Hike!
'Take a Hike is a delicious second-chance romance, with miles of chemistry, yearning that feels real, and addictively relatable characters' Emma Lucy, author of Riding the LineWalking boots? Check. Raincoat? Check. Emotional baggage? Check, check, check. Lydia Williams is used to putting on a smile and saying yes. So, when her friends beg her to join them on a cross-country hiking trip she agrees, even if she’d rather be crying into a pint of ice cream post-breakup. And post-job loss. Yeah, it’s been a week. She’s barely got her boots laced when Ren Hunter rocks up, her ex-best friend she’s been desperately avoiding since he broke her heart. Ren knows he made the biggest mistake of his life. He’s ready to grovel, but Lydia’s walls are higher than any peak they’re about to climb. So after his brother-slash-business partner shoots down his dream, he jumps at the chance for a break — and a chance to maybe, finally, win her back. Lydia is determined to keep her heart zipped up tight. But with days spent walking side by side and nights spent just inches apart, old feelings come creeping back, and in the middle of nowhere, they might just find their way back to each other.
I Could Read the Sky
'Think about a tune ... the unsayable, the invisible, the longing in music. Here is a book of tunes without musical notes ... It wrings the heart' John Berger'The voice that O'Grady has crafted succeeds so well ... running in parallel, Pyke's stark arresting images are laced between the paragraphs and chapters. The interplay between the two mediums is delicately powerful' Hilary White'A masterpiece' Robert Macfarlane'O'Grady does not just respond to Pyke's stark, beautiful photographs: he gives voice to thousands' Louise Kennedy'The experience of Irish emigration uniquely and powerfully illuminated' Mark Knopfler'If the words tell the story of the voiceless, the bleak lovely photographs show their faces. Fiction rarely gets as close to the messy, glorious truth as do memories and photographs. This rare novel dares to use both' Charlotte Mendelson, TLSAn old man lies alone and sleepless in London. Before dawn he is taken by an image from his childhood in the West of Ireland, and begins to remember a migrant's life. Haunted by the faces and the land he left behind, he calls forth the bars and boxing booths of England, the potato fields and building sites, the music he played and the woman he loved. Timothy O'Grady's tender, vivid prose and Steve Pyke's starkly beautiful photographs combine to make a unique work of fiction, an act of remembering suffused with loss, defiance and an unforgettable loveliness. An Irish life with echoes of the lives of unregarded migrant workers everywhere. Since it was first published in 1997, I Could Read the Sky has achieved the status of a classic.

American Hope
'Immensely readable ... Lamb's assessment is cool and considered: a thoughtful overview of the conclave's fruit in Leo's first year, and the challenges he faces. The author's gifts for rendering complexity digestible are on full display: American Hope is the most thorough and insightful overview out there of the Church at the start of the Leonine era' - Austen Ivereigh, The Tablet'Incisive ... American Hope combines background with predictions, lacing both together with a strong narrative and mastery of Vatican politics as well as theology ... The influence of Lamb's day job, as CNN's Vatican correspondent, can be seen here in the ease with which he places the Pope in a global context, not least in comparing him with US president Donald Trump and his VP, Catholic convert JD Vance' - Catherine Pepinster, TelegraphAs white smoke signaled a new pope had been chosen on the evening of May 8, 2025, Robert Prevost went from being a relatively unknown cardinal to one of the most famous people on earth, the leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. In electing Leo XIV, the College of Cardinals broke with conventional wisdom that there would never be an American pope. Is it a coincidence that he was chosen at a time of unprecedented political turbulence in the United States? Had the cardinals seen in him someone who would act as a spiritual counterweight to President Donald Trum? n American Hope CNN's Vatican correspondent Christopher Lamb explores what the election of Pope Leo means not just for the Catholic Church, but for the world. Drawing on his deep understanding of the Vatican and high-level access to cardinals and senior figures, Lamb paints a portrait of Leo as someone who combines an ability to unify with a steely determination to reform. He provides insights into the themes that will dominate Leo's papacy as the new pope steers a path between traditionalists and reformers. Leo is set to make a profound impact on the Church at a transformative moment in its history. In the era of "America First", the story of Leo's life and ministry asks what it truly means to be an American. In a world of conflict, he stands for peace. In a time of uncertainty, he offers a sense of hope.

If I Ruled the World
It is 1999 in New York City where 20-something Nikki Rose has spent the last 3 years working her way up the chain at StyleList, a fashion magazine rivaled only by Vogue. As the only Black editor on staff, Nikki’s never had it easy, but the constant microaggressions turn macro when Nikki pitches Tyisha, supermodel and host of “America’s Next Cover Girl”, for the cover of StyleList’s January issue. Her Editor-in-Chief responds simply: “Black girls don’t sell magazines.” Determined to find a place for young Black women in the magazine world, Nikki hustles her way into a job offer as Editor-in-Chief at Sugar, a floundering hip hop music and lifestyle publication with untapped potential. She’s faced with a difficult decision: say goodbye to her prestigious job (much to the chagrin of her academic parents and investment banker boyfriend) or bet on herself and enter an entirely new world of extreme wealth, decadence, and debauchery. She chooses herself. Now Nikki must deal with a whole new set of challenges as she fights to save Sugar, including facing off with its vindictive former Editor-in-Chief and winning over her skeptical staff, learning to navigate the urban music industry while staving off its influential bad boys and power players—and perhaps the most difficult, evading the Alonzo Griffin: her very married, very powerful ex-boyfriend, former boss, publishing powerhouse, and well-known womaniser, who is on a mission to take Nikki (and Sugar) down. As Nikki struggles to make her way in the media and music industries during one of the most dynamic eras in pop culture history, she needs to game the system to win. But what happens when winning means sacrificing everything you hold dear?
The Bureau
'Some of the most beautiful prose being written in Ireland today' Irish TimesA Harper's most talked-about thriller novel 2025A Irish Times Book of the Year 2025A Critic Book of the Year 2025A Guardian Crime Book of the Year 2025Lorraine would say afterwards that she was smitten straight off with Paddy Farrell. You could tell that he was occupying the room in a different way, he found the spaces that fitted him. She was the kind of girl the papers called vivacious, always a bit of dazzle to her. Could she not see there was death about him? Could he not see there was death about her? Paddy worked the border, a place of road closures, hijackings, sudden death. Everything bootleg and tawdry, nobody is saying that the law is paid off but it is. This is strange terrain, unsolid, ghosted through. There's illicit cash coming across the border and Brendan's backstreet Bureau de Change is the place to launder it. Brendan knows the rogue lawyers, the nerve shot policemen, the alcoholic judges and he doesn't care about getting caught. For the Bureau crew getting caught is only the start of the game. Paddy and his associates were a ragged band and honourless and their worth to themselves was measured in thievery and fraud. But Lorraine was not a girl to be treated lightly. She's cast as a minx, a criminal's moll but she's bought a shotgun. And she's bought a grave.
