"Brought to you by Penguin. Bossy. Frigid. Spinster. Sl*t. Mumsy. Milf. Bimbo. The English language has a seemingly infinite number of judgemental and hypocritical words to describe women and their life choices. We can't win, no matter what we do. Whether it’s on the sofa of ITV’s This Morning or online, Ashley James is a fierce advocate for women. In Bimbo, she unpacks the labels that box women in, and the systems that keep them there. From 'bossy' little girls, 'tarty' teens, to mothers who 'let themselves go', and 'left-on-the-shelf' single women, Ashley dissects the systems that try to confine us and asks: what if we broke free? Told through raw personal stories, humour and with a fierce feminist lens, this is a battle cry for every woman who’s ever felt too much — or not enough. This is a call to women stop shrinking, stop competing, and start rising — together. This is a book to be shared, discussed, and cherished, and a beacon of hope for a better future. © Ashley James 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

Where the Heart Is: Eight Ways to Transform Your Life at Home, No Matter Where You Live

"Brought to you by Penguin. If home is where the heart is, why do we neglect our domestic lives? Our feelings about home have a significant bearing on how we feel about ourselves. But as many of us have little control over our living situations, it's unsurprising that one in three people don't feel at home where they live, and only 56% experience joy there. We need to rethink our relationship with our home, and how we live within it, to inspire positive change in the rest of our life. Since 2017, Katie McCrory has led the largest global research into home – the annual IKEA Life at Home Report – identifying the eight universal emotional states that create the ‘feeling of home’. Here, she shares practical tools and strategies to harness comfort, control, security, accomplishment, belonging, nurture, enjoyment and aspiration for happiness and harmony. From reframing our expectations to creating domestic ‘zones’ that help us accomplish our goals, this book offers a fresh perspective and a roadmap to a more fulfilling home life. Whether you rent or own, share your space or live alone, you can finally cultivate that true feeling of ‘home’. © Katie McCrory 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

Citizenship: Notes on an American Myth

"A provocative, personal, blazingly intelligent examination of one of the most vexing questions facing the United States today: Who is, and should be, a citizen? "How did 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free' turn upside down to where we are today? Everyone needs to read this book, citizens and non-citizens alike. Brilliant!"-Sandra Cisneros "The most comprehensive book on citizenship/immigration I've ever read. A must-read!"-Javier Zamora In this one-of-a-kind book, Daisy Hernández fiercely interrogates one of the most complicated subjects of contemporary life and politics: citizenship. Braiding memoir, history, and cultural criticism, she exposes the truths and lies of how we define ourselves as a country and a people. Turning to her own family's stories-her mother arrived from Colombia, while her father was a political refugee from Castro's Cuba-Hernández shows how the very idea of citizenship is a myth, one of the stories we tell ourselves about the American soul and psyche. Reframing our understanding of what it means to be an American, Citizenship is an urgent and necessary account of the laws, customs, and language we use to include and exclude, especially those who come from Latin America. With her scholar's mind and memoirist's gift for narrative, Hernández weaves a story both personal and national, while reckoning with our country's ongoing debate about who belongs and providing fresh ways of thinking about citizenship. At once bracing, fearless, and tender, Citizenship is a powerful portrait of one family's experiences in the borderlands of citizenship and an honest illumination of the country in which we live."

The Writings of Thomas Smallwood

"A long-forgotten Black abolitionist who liberated captive workers by the wagonload, brilliantly satirized slaveholders, and gave the underground railroad its name. Thomas Smallwood was a shoemaker by day and an organizer of mass escapes from slavery by night. Twelve years after purchasing his freedom from slavery, Smallwood took to the press and, over a 16-month stretch starting in 1842, pseudonymously published newspaper dispatches ridiculing and excoriating enslavers by name and offering sobering reflections on the depravity of slavery. With the pen that Smallwood called his "lash," he leveraged mockery to flip the oppressive racial power structure of America. These dispatches, in which Smallwood was the first to use 'underground railroad' in print, are the only accounts of escapes to be published in real time, imbuing Smallwood's subversive wit with urgency and defiance. His 1851 memoir is prescient on the United States' tormented entanglement with race."

A Giant Leap: How AI Is Transforming Healthcare and What That Means for Our Future

"From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Digital Doctor comes a bold, insightful exploration of how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing healthcare-and why that matters. Healthcare has long resisted the forces of digital disruption that have transformed nearly every other industry. Until now. In A Giant Leap, physician and thought leader Robert Wachter chronicles medicine's AI awakening. Drawing on painstaking research and interviews with more than 100 pioneers at the intersection of medicine, technology, policy, and business, Wachter describes how AI can now match-and sometimes surpass-physicians in areas ranging from diagnosis to empathy. Even as AI enters hospitals and clinics to assist with documentation, recommend treatments, interpret images, and guide surgeries, challenges remain-including hallucinations, biases, and misinformation. Yet, Wachter argues, in a healthcare system buckling under the weight of medical errors, limited access, maddening paperwork, clinician burnout, and crushing costs, AI doesn't have to be flawless to be useful-it just needs to be better. And, if we make the right choices, it will be. Blending clinical insight, vivid storytelling, and journalistic precision, A Giant Leap is a timeless and engaging guide to how AI is changing what it means to heal and be healed in this age of astonishing technology."

The Price of Mercy: Unfair Trials, a Violent System, and a Public Defender's Search for Justice in A

"A former public defender takes us behind the closed doors of America's criminal courts, revealing how the institutions that claim to protect us are doing the exact opposite-and offering a blueprint for finally fixing it. "Galvin-Almanza takes readers inside the system with crystalline insight, heart, and writerly skill. Anyone who cares about justice should read this urgently-needed book."-Jane Mayer, author of Dark Money As Americans, we are told a rose-tinted story about our criminal courts-that these are the hallowed halls of justice, that the purpose of our legal process is to find the truth, and that those who enforce the law are both equitable and heroic. But what if the reality is purposefully obscured to hide something rotten at the system's core? In The Price of Mercy, attorney and former public defender Emily Galvin Almanza weaves hard data and unforgettable stories, dark humor and compelling evidence to tell us the truth about what's really going on behind the closed doors of America's criminal courts. She shows us how jails actually increase future crime, the dirty tricks police use to make millions in overtime pay, how a man could spend decades in prison because scientists mistook dog hair for his own, the perverse incentives that push prosecutors to seek convictions even when they themselves don't want to, and how judges may decide cases differently after lunch. We'll learn what's working, too: how public defenders can improve public health and even economic mobility, and how planting more trees can reduce a neighborhood's murder rates. But a lone defender winning a case won't change the system. Galvin Almanza argues that we need an engaged public to confront the stark reality of our crime-generating, poverty-entrenching, health-destroying legal apparatus and rebuild it into something that can save our collective present and prevent our future from being torn apart. Provocative and eye-opening, The Price of Mercy lifts the curtain on the way our laws really operate and presents a path forward for true transformation of the American criminal court system. Justice, and the law itself, is not some static thing. It is something enacted together, decision by decision, in acts of inhumanity or mercy."

The Real Ones: How to Disrupt the Hidden Ways Racism Makes Us Less Authentic

"Top political strategist Maya Rupert reveals how, for people of color, being real comes at a cost and authenticity is a privilege the marginalized cannot afford-that is, unless we change the system that keeps sending us the bill. . . One of Maya Rupert's earliest memories was learning how to be inauthentic. That performance-the ability to make white people feel comfortable about race-has brought her everything from safety to success. As the third Black woman in history to run a presidential campaign, she soon realized that there was no room among society's expectations for our real selves. In The Real Ones, Rupert reveals that for some, inauthenticity is necessary for survival. In this deeply relatable book, Rupert weaves together pop culture and politics, workplace advice and personal stories. She shares the off-camera experiences on the presidential campaign trail in a post-Obama political landscape. She sees what Taylor Swift and Beyoncé fans expect from our biggest stars-one is admired as the authentic girl next door, the other is required to be a queen. She exposes the trap too many face in the workplace, when we are asked to bring our full selves to work-but not too much. Rupert sees a world where success is at the expense of our authenticity, not because of it. The Real Ones offers an entirely fresh take on race-that authenticity is a privilege kept from people of color. When we are constantly confronted with the question, 'Who do you think you are?' we cannot begin to ask ourselves 'Who am I?' In the end, Rupert upends our understanding of authenticity, so that readers can stop questioning who we are, and finally thrive."

American Struggle: Democracy, Dissent, and the Pursuit of a More Perfect Union: An Anthology

"The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Soul of America offers an empowering lens to understand our national debates and divisions from 1619 to the present, with his signature commentary on the consequential speeches, letters, and essays that led us to this moment. In a polarized era, history can become a subject of political contention. Many have seen America as perfect; many others argue that the national experiment is fundamentally flawed. The truth, Meacham shows, likely lies in between these extremes. America has had shining hours, and also dark ones. In American Struggle, Jon Meacham looks to the nation's complicated past for lessons on the way forward. This rich and diverse collection covers a wide spectrum of history, from 1619 to the present, with primary-source documents that spotlight in their own words those who sought unity or division, and with Meacham's commentary throughout-from the founders to Lincoln; to leaders in the South; to leaders during the World Wars; to figures in the modern era such as Martin Luther King, Jr., JFK, LBJ, Shirley Chisolm, Walter Cronkite, Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama, and many more. As clashes over liberty and slavery, inclusion and exclusion play out, these voices, brilliantly framed by Meacham's singular commentary, remind us that contentious citizenship and fair-minded observations are essential to bringing about the more perfect union envisioned in the preamble to the Constitution, which Frederick Douglass called a 'glorious liberty document'. Conflict is nothing new in American life; rather, as Meacham and these texts show, these arguments are built into the nation's character. To know what has come before, to watch as long-running disputes rise and fall, is to be armed against despair."

Manufacturing Delusion: How the Left Uses Brainwashing, Indoctrination, and Propaganda Against You

"A former CIA analyst draws on his experience combatting jihadi terror movements and the history of totalitarian regimes to show how citizens lose touch with reality. While coordinating operations against al-Qaeda during the Bush administration, Buck Sexton became obsessed with figuring out how anyone could comply with an evil regime. Now, Manufacturing Delusion is the result of his search for an answer. In it, he finds that the mind-control tactics which compelled religious zealots to murder and suicide have been weaponized by tyrannical leaders throughout history to create compliant citizens. From a nation-wide effort to defund the police to society-wide redefinition of gender, Sexton argues that the American people are on the brink of mass delusion. He equips readers with an understanding of the tactics used to foment mass delusion and hysteria, and shows how the most dangerous governments in history have weaponized them. You'll learn how North Korea creates an isolated state to keep its citizens compliant; how Jihadist preachers erased all sense of individuality among believers; and how tyrants ranging from Stalin to Ivan the Terrible employed mind-killing tactics to replace all sense of certainty with fear and confusion. Drawing on Sexton's deep knowledge of how people become radicalized, some of the greatest minds in the field of crowd psychology, and history's cautionary tales, Manufacturing Delusion is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand why everyone around them is going crazy."
