"Meet Minnie Newton – 27-year-old spinster, troublemaker and founder of the first ever women's football club…
London, 1887: schoolteacher Minnie Newton is horrified when her female pupils placidly accept the limitations Victorian society puts on their ambitions and their lives. To show them women can do anything, she places a newspaper ad, seeking women to join a football team.
From a handful of replies, she puts together a motley collection to form a squad that's keen but mostly hopeless. Soon the women fall in love with the game and decide to play in public and their matches begin to draw big crowds.
But Minnie has a secret and soon all the attention her notorious team is getting starts to threaten the life she has built for herself. Can she toe the line between independence and safety or will the truth about who she is come out…?
A story inspired by real-life Victorian women, who showed the world that women can do anything they put their minds to, even if they are ridiculed for it at first…"
"This heartwarming and swoonworthy second chance romance about childhood friends reconnecting as adults is the highly anticipated debut novel from BookTok icon Haley Pham.
Blair and Declan were inseparable growing up – best friends who knew each other better than anyone else. But when an impulsive kiss took them from friends to something more, everything changed. Just as quickly as their romance started, one moment shattered it all, leaving them with nothing but heartbreak and silence.
Four years later, Blair is back in their coastal hometown of Seabrook to support her mom and care for her great-aunt Lottie. To make ends meet, Blair applies to work at a coffee shop – only to discover it's managed by none other than Declan. The boy she loved. The boy she lost. The boy who still makes her heart race.
As Blair's path keeps crossing with Declan's, old wounds resurface, secrets are revealed and sparks reignite. But could their future ever be free of their past?
Told in dual timelines that unravel the magic and pain of first love, Just Friends is a moving, romantic story about second chances, the weight of dreams and finding your way back to the people who feel like home."
"Once upon a time there was a family. Everything else is a lie. The compelling new novel about power, money and lies from the author of Anatomy of a Scandal.
Generations of children have grown up with Dame Eleanor Kingman's stories. Her status as the country's best-loved storyteller is unrivalled. But now it is under attack. Because while her fans regard her as a national treasure, someone seems to know the truth about who she really is…
Eleanor is turning seventy and marking the occasion with a beautiful party at her new clifftop Cornish home. A retrospective television show has been commissioned to commemorate her and the great and the good will be there to toast Eleanor's success.
But as her three daughters and her many friends gather, the stories Eleanor has been telling about her own life and family seem less and less convincing. Not every story has a happy ending: and every family has its secrets. As the threats against her escalate, will Eleanor be forced to tell the truth at last?"
"A stunning and deeply moving literary debut of grief, loss and female friendship, set against the backdrop of two cataclysmic natural events.
When five-year-old Marissa loses her mother, she is taken by her father to live on a small Thai island in the Andaman Sea. There, she forms a deep friendship with Arielle and together they explore the fragile wonders of its forests, reefs, and beaches. Holding their breath for minutes at a time, they learn to dive into the deep, as effortlessly synchronized as the manta rays they come to know by name. Then, on Boxing Day 2004, when the Indian Ocean tsunami makes landfall, they are swept up by the first wave and separated.
Eight years later, Marissa is living in New York. She spends her days wandering through the city and her nights seeking solace in the beds of strangers. As the city prepares for a devastating storm, Marissa reflects on her past and learns how to sustain herself in a precarious world.
Under Water is a story about friendship and grief, but also ecological change and natural disasters. It is a meditation on loss, a tribute to our dying oceans and forests, and a love letter to the disappearing coral reefs."

'Amazing… Truly a feat' RAYMOND ANTROBUS
--
A transfixing, heart-rending work which follows a mother and her young son living under the shadow of an all-consuming domestic threat, by T. S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted poet Wayne Holloway-Smith.
24 Coalbrook Street. The house is trembling with a father's anger. It makes a rabbit of a young boy, sends him burrowing into a wardrobe, and leaves his mother standing hapless and mute over the kitchen sink. In this house, how far can a mother's comfort travel?
From the safety of his hiding place, from the magnitude of his fear, a young girl appears offering a way out. Taking him by the hand, reaching through time, she leads him elsewhere; a mother's love dreaming him away from their reality to the promise – beautiful yet flickering – of a river.
Haunting, precise and tender, RABBITBOX heralds a major new work from one of Britain's most exciting writers."
"An empowering, educational, and judgment-free guide to formula feeding from certified infant feeding technician Mallory Whitmore a.k.a. The Formula Mom.
Nourishing a newborn properly is vital for healthy growth and development. While many mothers intend to breastfeed, research shows the majority of US parents will use formula before their baby's first birthday. Yet, most of these parents don't receive any meaningful support or education to explore alternative options. Instead, they are told "breast milk is best" and are inundated with anti-formula rhetoric which can foster negative feelings and outcomes when breastfeeding isn't an option.
Now, formula expert Mallory Whitmore is here to guide you on successful bottle feeding throughout baby's first year. Drawing from her personal struggles as a new mom and as a leader in the infant feeding space, Whitmore candidly shares her experiences of trial, error, and triumph and covers essential topics such as choosing the right formula, safe bottle preparation, feeding strategies, and troubleshooting common issues like reflux and gas. Whitmore also focuses on supporting mental health and dismantling harmful societal pressures, with tips to find joy in this journey.
With its evidence-based insights and deep empathy for the realities of parenthood, Bottle Service represents a groundbreaking shift away from guilt-driven narratives. It celebrates formula as a valid option for families and offers a much-needed lifeline to parents looking to nourish their babies with confidence and without shame."
"America's bestselling biographer reveals the origins of the most revolutionary sentence in the Declaration of Independence, the one that defines who we are as Americans—and explains how it should shape our politics today.
To celebrate America's 250th anniversary, Walter Isaacson takes readers on a fascinating deep dive into the creation of one of history's most powerful sentences: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
Drafted by Thomas Jefferson and edited by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, this line lays the foundation for the American Dream and defines the common ground we share as a nation.
Isaacson unpacks its genius, word by word, illuminating the then-radical concepts behind it. Readers will gain a fresh appreciation for how it was drafted to inspire unity, equality, and the enduring promise of America. With clarity and insight, he reveals not just the power of these words but describes how, in these polarized times, we can use them to restore an appreciation for our common values."
