    Summary:
    Brought to you by Penguin. How do you find something that doesn't exist? It all begins with an egg . . . With a hungry child who risks her life for an omelette for tea - and finds a miracle. With thieves committing crimes against nature on the wild cliffs of Yorkshire. With a marvel that becomes a mystery . . . and then a myth. And 100 years later it begins again. . . With a strange robbery at a remote Welsh cottage. With two friends thrust from their gaming chairs into a real-life quest. And with dangerous men who will stop at nothing to get what they want. It all begins with an egg. But where will it end? ‘It’s hard to overstate the absolute charm of The Impossible Thing. Remember the feeling of wonder the first time you fell in love with a book? This.’ VAL McDERMID ‘One of the most enjoyable novels I've read in ages . . . utterly distinctive and totally addictive.’ PAULA HAWKINS 'Extraordinary. There's a deceptive simplicity to The Impossible Thing that packs a real punch.' ANN CLEEVES © Belinda Bauer 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025

    Summary:
    Brought to you by Penguin. The funniest Christmas rom com of 2024 from the much-loved TV presenter Alison Hammond. Madison is married to one of the nation’s heartthrobs, TV handyman Rich. Recently, he’s been acting… strangely. Grumpy with everyone and everything; never wanting to go out. At least not with his wife. She wants to excuse this as some mid-life crisis. Until he wakes up one morning and drops a bombshell: he’s moving out. He says there’s no one else involved, he just wants to go on a break. With the help of her tight-knit group of girlfriends, Madison’s determined to find out the truth about what’s really going on. Even if it means turning detective on her own husband. And with her own interior-design career about to take off (once her manager stops squashing her ideas for his terrible ones, and provided she doesn’t get distracted by her heartthrob new colleague), Madison’s about to rediscover her own worth. She’s a bombshell, after all… Alison Hammond brings her trademark wit and warmth to the pages of her brilliant debut rom com – expect hilarious hijinks and heart-warming romance in this sparkling first novel from the brilliantly charismatic presenter!

    Summary:
    The brand-new thriller from the author of The Girl Beyond the Gate. Deep in the woods, you can hide more than secrets... Every day, in a remote cabin hidden deep in the woods in the Scottish Highlands, Mary wakes up before dawn to make breakfast from scratch. She tends the garden and feeds the animals. Every night, Mary makes sure she has dinner on the table for when her husband Cal gets home from work. She puts on his favourite lipstick and greets him with a smile. 'I've missed you.' It's not true and he knows it. But he likes to hear it all the same. Mary is the perfect wife and like any good wife she knows her job is to keep her husband happy. But lately as she notices her first wrinkles appear, she can sense Cal change. A scowl at dinner not being ready on time, a too tight grip as he leads her to the bedroom tells her he's noticed too. And old memories are coming back too, of her life before the cabin... Then she finds a stack of letters hidden under the floorboards detailing a life eerily similar to her own. They're addressed to her: 'To the next woman.' If she's not the first to play the role of Cal's perfect wife, what happened to the woman in the cabin before her? And how long does she have until she is next?

    Summary:
    Brought to you by Penguin. As fans of Just a Minute know, the key to the game is knowing your way around the English language: how it works, how it’s evolved, and how words connect, often in surprising ways. When it comes to the English language (and Just a Minute), Gyles Brandreth has seen it all – and now he’s ready to put you through your linguistic paces, to become a Just a Minute expert yourself. In this wildly entertaining A to Z of verbal acrobatics, Gyles takes you on a whirlwind tour of our mother tongue – from the origins of words and correct grammar and punctuation, to similes, euphemisms and record breaking tongue twisters (try getting your mouth around floccinaucinihilipification!). An idiosyncratic blend of history, word play, anecdote, and hyperbole, all in 60-second instalments, this is Gyles Brandreth at his word-perfect, Just-a-Minute best. You’ll never mix your metaphors again... 'A whirlwind tour of the joys of English, by the master of concision and wit.’ – Susie Dent ‘Gyles is very funny – and never lost for words!’ – Dame Judi Dench © Gyles Brandreth 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024

    Genres: Non-Fiction, Global Politics, Social Science

    Summary:
    Brought to you by Penguin. Is this how democracy dies? The Coming Storm is Gabriel Gatehouse’s brilliant exploration of how conspiracy theories are tearing America apart. It’s a story that takes you down a rabbit hole - one that both the US as a nation and he as a journalist fell through - to unpack an epochal shift in political culture that starts in the earliest years of the Clinton administration and reached a crescendo on 6 January 2021 with the storming of the US Capitol. But that event wasn’t the wild finale of a chaotic Trump presidency many hoped for - it was only the beginning. A compelling mix of research and reportage, The Coming Storm gets under the skin of these conspiracy theories to show us a radical new kind of politics emerging, a movement that has coalesced around a loose alliance of tech bros, internet trolls and white supremacists. At a perilous moment in the history of American democracy, Gatehouse tells us some dark truths about our present, and provides clues about our future. The Coming Storm marks the debut of a major new voice in political journalism. “Gabriel Gatehouse is a brilliant spelunker of the rabbit holes of American political culture. A spellbinding storyteller and reader of the runes of the strange times we live in.” – Louis Theroux © Gabriel Gatehouse 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024
