When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in
front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for
Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord
Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first
ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea
leaves.... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the
school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss....

The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through
millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare,
Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply in the
traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus,
marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos,
weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.

The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over
seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he
will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its
selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup
picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons, and dark wizards, but with
the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through -
alive!

The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark
Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the
recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor.
Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth
of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods
is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom
of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the
great events at the end of the Third Age.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant,
living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also
known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of
candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when
you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a
heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate
them.

An epic story of survival at all odds and one of the most anticipated books of
the year. In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky
enough to survive, a community exists in a giant underground silo. Inside, men
and women live an enclosed life full of rules and regulations, of secrets and
lies. To live, you must follow the rules. But some don't. These are the
dangerous ones; these are the people who dare to hope and dream, and who infect
others with their optimism.

Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers and lifelong training
have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no
ordinary killer: he hunts the vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the
innocent. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil; not everything fair is
good...and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron
Throne has begun. As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse
when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him
down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must...and a dead
enemy is a thing of beauty. The old gods have no power in the south, Stark’s
family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir
of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He
claims the Iron Throne.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a
parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but
which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on
the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then,
some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be
threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose
survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

till someone does. That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Leaving

According to mythology, mankind used to live in 'The Tranquiline Halls': heaven.
But then the Voidbringers assaulted and captured heaven, casting out God and
men. Men took root on Roshar, the world of storms, but the Voidbringers
followed. The Almighty gave men powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons,
the Shardblades. Led by 10 angelic Heralds and 10 orders of knights known as
Radiants, mankind finally won (or so the legends say).

that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the
Metropolitan Police Service (and as the Filth to everybody else). My only
concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we
do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the
panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May. Then one night, in pursuance
of a murder inquiry, I tried to take a witness statement from someone who was
dead but disturbingly voluble....

auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a

Five years ago, DCI John Lomond led the search for notorious Glasgow
child-killer ‘The Sandman', until personal tragedy forced him off the case. In
Lomond's absence, the killer was never found. Now, with nothing but work left in
his life, Lomond remains obsessed with the case–despite the nightmares it
brings. When a child is abducted in similar Sandman fashion from an affluent
Glasgow suburb, Lomond is brought in to find them before it's too late.

Three low-income families have been given a handsome retainer to join Geraldine
Borden for a day at her cliffside estate. All the parents must do to collect the
rest of their money is allow their children to test out the revolutionary
playground equipment Geraldine has been working on for decades. But there’s a
reason the structures in the bowels of her gothic castle have taken so long to
develop—they were never meant to see the light of day.

For years, rumors of the 'Marsh Girl' have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on
the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found
dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But
Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years
alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons
in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved.

Canon Daniel Clement is Rector of Champton, where he lives alongside his widowed
mother—opinionated, fearless, ever-so-slightly annoying Audrey—and his two
dachshunds, Cosmo and Hilda. When Daniel announces a plan to install a lavatory
in the church, the parish is suddenly (and unexpectedly) divided: as lines are
drawn, long-buried secrets come dangerously close to destroying the apparent
calm of the village.

You stand on a crowded tube platform in London. Your two little girls jump on
the train ahead of you. As you try to join them, the doors slide shut and the
train moves away, leaving you behind. By the time you get to the next stop,
you've convinced yourself that everything will be fine. But you soon start to
panic, because there aren't two children waiting for you on the platform.
There's only one. Has your other daughter got lost? Been taken by a passing
stranger? Or perhaps the culprit is closer to home than you think? No one is
telling the truth.

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will
make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect
him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching
and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The
Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away.
I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep
watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let
her go.

that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the
Metropolitan Police Service (and as the Filth to everybody else). My only
concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we
do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the
panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May. Then one night, in pursuance
of a murder inquiry, I tried to take a witness statement from someone who was
dead but disturbingly voluble....

The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark
Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the
recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor.
Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth
of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods
is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom
of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the
great events at the end of the Third Age.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was one of the iconic figures of the 20th century, a
brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb but later
confronted the moral consequences of scientific progress. When he proposed
international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the
hydrogen bomb, and criticized plans for a nuclear war, his ideas were anathema
to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup during the anti-Communist
hysteria of the early 1950s.

The story of Troy speaks to all of us - the kidnapping of Helen, a queen
celebrated for her beauty, sees the Greeks launch a thousand ships against the
city of Troy, to which they will lay siege for 10 whole and very bloody years.
It is Zeus, the king of the gods, who triggers the war when he asks the Trojan
prince Paris to judge the fairest goddess of them all. Aphrodite bribes Paris
with the heart of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of the Greeks, and naturally,
nature takes its course.

Pax is the third in a trilogy of books narrating the history of the Roman
Empire. The series that began with Rubicon, and continued with Dynasty, now
arrives at the period which marks the apogée of the pax Romana. It provides a
portrait of the ancient world's ultimate superpower at war and at peace; from
the gilded capital to the barbarous realms beyond the frontier; from emperors to
slaves.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was one of the iconic figures of the 20th century, a
brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb but later
confronted the moral consequences of scientific progress. When he proposed
international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the
hydrogen bomb, and criticized plans for a nuclear war, his ideas were anathema
to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup during the anti-Communist
hysteria of the early 1950s.

The story of Troy speaks to all of us - the kidnapping of Helen, a queen
celebrated for her beauty, sees the Greeks launch a thousand ships against the
city of Troy, to which they will lay siege for 10 whole and very bloody years.
It is Zeus, the king of the gods, who triggers the war when he asks the Trojan
prince Paris to judge the fairest goddess of them all. Aphrodite bribes Paris
with the heart of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of the Greeks, and naturally,
nature takes its course.

A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson's fascinating and humorous
quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise
of civilization. He takes subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us,
like geology, chemistry, and particle physics, and aims to render them
comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in
science. In the company of some extraordinary scientists, Bill Bryson reveals
the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

Agent, double agent, traitor and enigma, he betrayed every secret of Allied
operations to the Russians in the early years of the Cold War. Philby’s two
closest friends in the intelligence world, Nicholas Elliott of MI6 and James
Jesus Angleton, the CIA intelligence chief, thought they knew Philby better than

After his sudden rise to power in the summer of 2019 amid the Brexit deadlock,
Boris Johnson presided over the most dramatic period of British history in
almost a century. From the controversial prorogation of Parliament in August
2019 to the historic landslide victory later that year, the agonising upheaval
of Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic—and the scandals unleashed by both—the
Afghanistan crisis, and the conflict in Ukraine, Johnson's premiership was more
turbulent than any other in living memory.

escapes from their Nazi captors. Or so the story of Colditz has gone,
unchallenged for 70 years. But that tale contains only part of the truth. The
astonishing inside story, revealed for the first time by best-selling historian
Ben Macintyre, is a tale of the indomitable human spirit, but also one of class
conflict, homosexuality, espionage, insanity and farce.

For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west—in the New World of
the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of
adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping
right across Central Asia deep into China and India, is taking centre stage in
international politics, commerce and culture—and is shaping the modern world.
This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the
English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the
world’s great religions were born and took root.

Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. And
its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still

anniversary of the Manson murders, he worried there was nothing new to say.
Weren’t the facts indisputable? Charles Manson had ordered his teenage followers
to commit seven brutal murders, and in his thrall, they’d gladly complied. But
when O’Neill began reporting the story, he kept finding holes in the prosecutor
Vincent Bugliosi’s narrative, long enshrined in the best-selling Helter Skelter.
Before long, O’Neill had questions about everything from the motive to the
manhunt.

For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress
against the diseases of ageing that kill most people: heart disease, cancer,
Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with
treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Dr
Peter Attia, the world's top longevity expert who is featured on Chris
Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary Limitless, believes we must replace
this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity.

In industrialised nations, our sedentary lifestyles have contributed to
skyrocketing rates of obesity and diseases like diabetes. A key remedy, we are
told, is exercise - voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. However,
most of us struggle to stay fit, and our attitudes to exercise are plagued by
misconceptions, finger-pointing and anxiety. But, as Daniel Lieberman shows in
Exercised, the first book of its kind by a leading scientific expert, we never
evolved to exercise.

A revolutionary system to get one per cent better every day. People think when

expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes
from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions – doing two push-ups a
day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He
calls them atomic habits.

We tend to believe that normality equals health. Yet what is the norm in the
Western world? Mental illness is on an unstoppable rise. Some 45 percent of
Europeans suffer high blood pressure, and nearly 70 percent of Americans take at
least one prescription drug. Illness and trauma are defining how we live. In his
new masterpiece, renowned physician, addiction expert and author Gabor Maté
dissects the underlying causes of this malaise—physical and emotional, and
connects the dots between our personal suffering and the pressures of modern-day
living.

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and
yet it is increasingly neglected in 21st century society, with devastating
consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer,
obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep. Until very
recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it
served, or why its absence is so damaging to our health. Compared to the other
basic drives in life - eating, drinking and reproducing - the purpose of sleep
remained elusive.

Nobody needs telling that there isn't enough time. We're obsessed by our
lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against
distraction and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. Yet we
rarely make the conscious connection that these problems only trouble us in the
first place, thanks to the ultimate time-management problem: the challenge of
how best to use our 4,000 weeks. Four Thousand Weeks is an uplifting, engrossing

mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think and make choices.
One system is fast, intuitive and emotional; the other is slower, more
deliberative and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary
capabilities-and also the faults and biases-of fast thinking and reveals the
pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behaviour.

Allen Carr's Easyway is the most successful self-help stop-smoking method of all
time. It has helped millions of smokers all over the world to quit and has since
been used to treat other addictions such as drinking and gambling. Allen Carr's
Easyway method works by unravelling the brainwashing that leads us to desire the
very thing that is harming us, meaning that we are freed from the addiction
rather than merely restricting our behaviour. The Easyway method has now been
applied to the problem of emotional eating.

I look like a normal kid. Only there's a difference. Poseidon, God of the Sea is
my dad. Which sounds cool, but actually means there is usually someone (or
something), somewhere, trying to kill me. Now I live at Camp Half-Blood, with
other kids like me. But Camp Half-Blood is a bit different to most summer camps.
Instead of toasting marshmallows and singing campfire songs, we battle giant
cannibals at dodgeball.

Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her
mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do
anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called
“calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She
endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are
invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even
showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her
income.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was one of the iconic figures of the 20th century, a
brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb but later
confronted the moral consequences of scientific progress. When he proposed
international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the
hydrogen bomb, and criticized plans for a nuclear war, his ideas were anathema
to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup during the anti-Communist
hysteria of the early 1950s.

humbling, Undoctored is about what happens when a doctor hangs up his scrubs,
but medicine refuses to let go of him. Undoctored is Adam Kay's funniest and
most moving book yet—an astonishing portrait of a life in and out of medicine,
from one of Britain's finest storytellers.

Welcome to Jeremy's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views
across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy
always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the
world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious
that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else. Then
one day he decided he would do the farming himself. After all, how hard could it
be?

In Gotta Get Theroux This, Louis takes the reader on a joyous journey from his
anxiety-prone childhood to his unexpectedly successful career. Nervously
accepting the BBC’s offer of his own series, he went on to create an
award-winning documentary style that has seen him immersed in the weird worlds
of paranoid US militias and secretive pro-wrestlers, get under the skin of
celebrities like Max Clifford and Chris Eubank and tackle gang culture in San
Quentin prison, all the time wondering whether the same qualities that make him
good at documentaries might also make him bad at life.
