She's here and she's a beauty!
by is out 14 March.

This book is written out of both hate and love for the world

As people, we are capable of both love and hate; amazement and disgust; fun and misery.

So why do we live in a world that is constantly telling us to hate, both ourselves and others? We are told to be repulsed by our own bodies, bodies that let us laugh and sweat and eat toast; to be ashamed of pleasure; to be embarrassed by fun. In this brand-new collection, Hollie McNish brings her inimitable style to the question of what have been taught to hate, and if we might learn to love again.

Introducing My Family and Other Rock Stars by Tiffany Murray 🎸

My Family and Other Rock Stars is Tiff's remarkable, truly unique story of growing up in a rural idyll, of Cordon Bleu cookery and of a childhood where the chances of bumping into Freddie Mercury playing piano, or a group of Hell's Angels turning up to record for Lemmy, or even the hope of David Bowie appearing, were as normal as hopscotch and homework.

🎉 A very happy publication day to Sylvia Patterson! Her new memoir Same Old Girl is out today.

In late 2019, Sylvia Patterson was a celebrated pop journalist, still merrily writing about the musical greats. But with the diagnosis of a life-threatening disease, a global pandemic and the collapse of her industry, life was about to take a drastic turn.

It was a misadventure that would teach her many things. The power of friendship, the shock of mortality and what happens when love is tested. How a walk in the park, a spontaneous dance and a TV hero can save your life. How your perspective can shift on everything, from work, family and music, to what truly makes you happy. And what really happens when your body, never mind your kitchen, falls apart.

The reviews speak volumes . . . At The Table is a novel not to be missed!

👇 Have a look at what Marian Keyes, The Times and Hannah Beekerman from the Observer had to say about Claire Powell's debut

To Nicole and Jamie Maguire, their parents seem the ideal couple. So when Linda and Gerry announce that they've decided to separate, the news sends shockwaves through the siblings' lives, forcing them to confront their own desires.
While hardworking - and hard-drinking - Nicole pursues the ex she unceremoniously dumped six years ago, people-pleasing Jamie fears he's sleepwalking into a marriage he doesn't actually want.
Set in 2018, At the Table follows each member of the Maguire family over a tumultuous year of lunches, dinners and drinks in a gripping yet tender depiction of love and disillusionment that confronts what it means to grow up - both as an individual, and as a family.
