Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on
the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish
parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt
and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a
man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a
wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An
incredible adventure is about to begin!

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.

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in

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....

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.

In 1754, renowned maker of clocks and automata Abel Cloudesley must raise his
new-born son Zachary when his wife dies in childbirth. Growing up amongst the
cogs and springs of his father's workshop, Zachary is intensely curious,
ferociously intelligent, unwittingly funny and always honest—perhaps too honest.
But when a fateful accident leaves six-year-old Zachary nearly blinded, Abel is
convinced that the safest place for his son is in the care of his eccentric Aunt
Frances and her menagerie of weird and wonderful animals.

When retired FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an 'X-Ray Sierra India'
incident, the operator doesn't understand. He tells them to pass it up the chain
till someone does. That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Leaving
Quantico for snowbound Northern Wisconsin, she finds that a tornado has
flattened half the town - and there's no sign of Henderson. Things soon go from
weird to worse, as neighbours report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes
missing, and the snow keeps rising - cutting off the town, with no way in or
out...

A dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the Thames. The regulars are
entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open on an
injured stranger. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a little child. Hours
later the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle?
Is it magic? Or can it be explained by science? An exquisitely crafted
multilayered mystery brimming with folklore, suspense and romance as well as
with the urgent scientific curiosity of the Darwinian age, Once Upon a River is
as richly atmospheric as Setterfield’s best seller The Thirteenth Tale.

the subsector; its safety must be assured at all costs. As battle explodes
across the planet, Ciaphas Cain and his regiment come up against allies and
enemies old and new in their fight for victory.

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.

Insurrection is in the air in the city of Ankh-Morpork. The Haves and Have-Nots
are about to fall out all over again. Captain Sam Vimes of the city's ramshackle
Night Watch is used to this. It's enough to drive a man to drink. Well, to drink
more. But this time, something is different - the Have-Nots have found the key
to a dormant, lethal weapon that even they don't fully understand and they're
about to unleash a campaign of terror on the city. Time for Captain Vimes to
sober up.

Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and
football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a
hit-and-run accident when he was 10, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie
learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. Then, when Charlie is 17, he
meets a dog named Radar and his aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a
big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard.
Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it.

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.

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.

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....

take a sinister turn when the entire village suffers severe poisoning, and one
old man turns up dead. Accusations abound in the small close-knit community, and
‘old’ religions spar against ‘new’ while fear runs like wildfire through the

this perfect place, with new friends who treat Albie like the son they never
had. He can’t stop talking about the tree house they’re building him, and the

Why don’t they ever open the front door more than a crack? They told me they had
no children so who does the small pink tricycle I saw in their hall belong to?

A dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the Thames. The regulars are
entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open on an
injured stranger. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a little child. Hours
later the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle?
Is it magic? Or can it be explained by science? An exquisitely crafted
multilayered mystery brimming with folklore, suspense and romance as well as
with the urgent scientific curiosity of the Darwinian age, Once Upon a River is
as richly atmospheric as Setterfield’s best seller The Thirteenth Tale.

I was dreading the Cunningham family reunion even before the first murder.
Before the storm stranded us at the mountain resort. The thing is, us
Cunninghams don't really get along. We've only got one thing in common: we've
all killed someone. My brother, my step-sister, my wife, my father, my mother,
my sister-in-law, my uncle, my step-father, my aunt. Even me. When they find the
first body in the snow, it's clear that only a Cunningham could have committed
the crime—and it's up to me to prove it. There are plenty of killers in my
family. But only one murderer.

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.

convinced that the safest place for his son is in the care of his eccentric Aunt
Frances and her menagerie of weird and wonderful animals.

had. He can’t stop talking about the tree house they’re building him, and the

A dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the Thames. The regulars are
entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open on an
injured stranger. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a little child. Hours
later the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle?
Is it magic? Or can it be explained by science? An exquisitely crafted
multilayered mystery brimming with folklore, suspense and romance as well as
with the urgent scientific curiosity of the Darwinian age, Once Upon a River is
as richly atmospheric as Setterfield’s best seller The Thirteenth Tale.

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

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.

Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s Middle East Editor, has been covering the region since
1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled
present. In this new book, in part based on his acclaimed podcast, Bowen takes
us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets
ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or
benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation
on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for
political, religious and economic control.

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.

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.

Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s Middle East Editor, has been covering the region since
1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled
present. In this new book, in part based on his acclaimed podcast, Bowen takes
us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets
ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or
benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation
on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for
political, religious and economic control.

In a forbidding Gothic castle on a hilltop in the heart of Nazi Germany, an
unlikely band of British officers spent the Second World War plotting daring
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.

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.

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.

Appeasing Hitler is a compelling new narrative history of the disastrous years
of indecision, failed diplomacy and parliamentary infighting that enabled Nazi
domination of Europe. Beginning with the advent of Hitler in 1933, it sweeps
from the early days of the Third Reich to the beaches of Dunkirk. Bouverie takes
us into the backrooms of 10 Downing Street and Parliament, where a small group
of rebellious MPs, including the indomitable Winston Churchill, were among the
few to realise that the only choice was between ‘war now or war later’.

would you eat? What would you wear? Would you really have a sense of it being a
glorious age? And if so, how would that glory sit alongside the vagrants,
diseases, violence, sexism and famine of the time? In this book Ian Mortimer
answers the key questions that a visitor to late 16th-century England would ask.

More specifically, there could never be 'another Diana'—a member of the family
whose global popularity upstaged, outshone and posed an existential threat to
the British monarchy. Picking up where The Diana Chronicles left off, The Palace
Papers reveals how the royal family reinvented itself after the traumatic years

washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely
alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His
Majesty’s ship The Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a

treasure-filled galleon, The Wager was wrecked on a desolate island off the

ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? As Lucy Worsley says, 'She was
thrillingly, scintillatingly modern'. Her life was 'modern' too: she went
surfing in Hawaii, she loved fast cars, and she was intrigued by the new science
of psychology, which helped her through devastating mental illness. So
why—despite all the evidence to the contrary—did Agatha present herself as a
retiring Edwardian lady of leisure?

Anne Boleyn is a subject of enduring fascination and by far the most famous of
Henry VIII's six wives. For the most part, she is considered in the context of
her relationship with Tudor England's monarch. Dramatic though this story is, of
even greater interest - and significance - is the relationship between Anne and
her daughter, the future Elizabeth I, who was less than three years old when her
mother was executed. Given that she could have held precious few memories of
Anne, it is assumed that her mother exerted little influence over her. Nothing
could be further from the truth.

eight generations of kings. Their remarkable reign saw England emerge from the
Dark Ages to become a highly organised kingdom that spanned a vast expanse of
Europe. Plantagenet rule saw the establishment of laws and creation of artworks,
monuments and tombs which survive to this day, and continue to speak of their
sophistication, brutality and secrets. Dan Jones brings you a new vision of this

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.

We have entered a new 'age of eating' where most of our calories come from an
entirely novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food, food which is
industrially processed and designed and marketed to be addictive. But do we
really know what it's doing to our bodies? Join Chris in his travels through the
world of food science and a UPF diet to discover what's really going on. Find
out why exercise and willpower can't save us, and what UPF is really doing to
our bodies, our health, our weight, and the planet (hint: nothing good).

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
and deeply realistic exploration of this problem.

In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a ground-breaking tour of the
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.

Checking into a psychiatric institution wasn't exactly on Ruby Wax's agenda for
2022 - writing about it wasn't either, but here we are. These days, trying to
stay sane in a completely chaotic world makes life incredibly difficult,
especially if you're struggling with your mental health. While searching for
inner peace and equanimity amidst global chaos, Ruby realises that, ultimately,
the most challenging gauntlet we all must face is ourselves. I'm Not as Well as
I Thought I Was is Ruby's most honest and raw book to date.

My life could have been the same as an ordinary teenager. Except my dad is
Poseidon, and I live in a camp full of half Gods and mythical creatures. So
instead, my days are spent combatting half-lion half-humans and trying to live a
somewhat normal life. But normalcy has just gone out the window. My friend
Annabeth is missing, a Goddess is in chains, and only five of us can join the
quest to save the day. Oh and guess what. The Oracle has predicted that not all
of us will survive....

Lyra Belacqua lives half-wild and carefree among the scholars of Jordan College,
with her daemon, Pantalaimon, always by her side. But the arrival of her
fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, draws her to the heart of a terrible struggle - a
struggle born of stolen children, witch clans and armoured bears. As she hurtles
towards danger in the cold far North, Lyra never suspects the shocking truth:
she alone is destined to win, or to lose, the biggest battle imaginable.

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

Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s Middle East Editor, has been covering the region since
1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled
present. In this new book, in part based on his acclaimed podcast, Bowen takes
us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets
ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or
benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation
on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for
political, religious and economic control.

millions, loved by at least fifty of them, and adapted into a major TV series.
But it was only part of the story. By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and
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.

Fern Brady was told she couldn't be autistic because she's had loads of
boyfriends and is good at eye contact. This is a story of how being female can
get in the way of being autistic and how being autistic gets in the way of being
the 'right kind' of woman.

feet, Michael’s lifetime touchline ban from Jack’s prep-school and the Whitehall
collection of downright weird and eccentric relatives.

So, I’ve written a book. This certainly doesn’t mean that I’m quitting my day
job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it’s like to be
a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the
crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18
years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or
playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall
Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert
Hall....

The Extra Mile is no ordinary sports memoir. But Kevin Sinfield is no ordinary
sportsman. A one-club legend of Leeds Rhinos, who has now crossed codes as a
defence coach for Leicester Tigers, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. But in
recent years has shown heroism of a very different kind through his selfless and
extraordinary fundraising for Motor neurone disease (MND), the terminal illness
that has affected his best mate and former teammate Rob Burrow.

Written to take advantage of the brief window between the end of lockdown and
Jimmy getting cancelled for saying something unforgivable to Lorraine Kelly,
this book is as timely as it is unnecessary. Because you might be interested in
Jimmy's life but he's damn sure you're a lot more interested in your own, Before
& Laughter is about both of you. But mainly him.

than you. Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights and missed
weekends, Adam Kay's This Is Going to Hurt provides a no-holds-barred account of
his time on the NHS front line. Hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking, this
diary is everything you wanted to know - and more than a few things you didn't -
about life on and off the hospital ward.

I love stories. I have mostly told other people's, but now, in telling my own, I
realise how all our stories are connected by that great leveller of acclaim,
loss, fortitude and fortune: being human. When I look at my life from the
alleged halfway point, some patterns are revealed: one, that the story does not
necessarily begin or end where it should; two, happy endings are overrated. And
three, happy endings are almost never the end. This book is memoir-ish. A
tell-most. Largely because there's a lot I don't remember, and a lot that's not
worth talking about.

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.

In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began
an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have
Newman's family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about
the actor's life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of
the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to
be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The
project lasted five years. The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from
thousands of pages of transcripts.
