 Hidden Lessons: 

Growing Up on the Frontline of Teaching 

by Mehreen Baig 

You're in at 7am, there until 7pm and marking into the late hours. You've got one student who's a full time carer, another who's pregnant, and a third who's just joined a gang. You haven't got enough textbooks to go around, and one of the parents just called you an 'extremist'. You've just gone through a devastating heartbreak and you have to teach Romeo and Juliet to 30 hormonal 14 year olds.

Welcome to life as a teacher.

This is a world that all of us know, but most of us have completely forgotten. It's a world where you're working 50 hour weeks, but you're still just a part-time teacher because the rest of the time you're a security guard, a nurse, a counsellor, or a friend. It's also a world where you spend all day with some of the most interesting people you know. And even when the lesson plan has been abandoned, you're still learning.

Mehreen started teaching at 21, and by the time she left 10 years later she'd learnt a bit about teenagers and a lot about life. This is her story.

Adalyn visits a place that holds magic and things beyond her imagination. Her dreams come true, but not always how she pictures them. Some make her want to turn and run for home.

Lies and revelations come to light and Adalyn experiences twists and turns before tears and blood are spilled. Good guys aren’t always good and bad guys aren’t always bad, you just have to work that one out for yourself.

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not real, it could be right under your nose. Hidden in plain sight, a world that no one has seen.

No One Will Miss Her: A Novel by Kat Rosenfield

 No One Will Miss Her: 

A Novel 

by Kat Rosenfield 

On a beautiful October morning in rural Maine, a homicide investigator from the state police  pulls into the hard-luck town of Copper Falls. 

The local junkyard is burning, and the town pariah Lizzie Oullette is dead—with her husband, Dwayne, nowhere to be found. As scandal ripples through the community, Detective Ian Bird’s inquiries unexpectedly lead him away from small-town Maine to a swank city townhouse several hours south. 

Adrienne Richards, blonde and fabulous social media influencer and wife of a disgraced billionaire, had been renting Lizzie’s tiny lake house as a country getaway…even though Copper Falls is anything but a resort town.

As Adrienne’s connection to the case becomes clear, so too does her connection to Lizzie, who narrates their story from beyond the grave. 

Each woman is desperately lonely in her own way, and they navigate a relationship that cuts across class boundaries: transactional, complicated, and, finally, deadly. 

A Gone Girl for the gig economy, this is a story of privilege, identity, and cunning, as two devious women from opposite worlds discover the dangers of coveting someone else’s life.

Are We Having Fun Yet? by Lucy Mangan

 Are We Having Fun Yet? 

by Lucy Mangan

Meet Liz: all she wants is some peace and quiet so she can read a book with her cat Henry, love of her life, by her side. But trampling all over this dream is a group of wild things also known as Liz's family. Namely:

Richard - a man, a husband, no serious rival to Henry.
Thomas - their sensitive seven year old son, for whom life is a bed of pain already.
Evie - five year old acrobat, gangster, anarchist, daughter.

And as if her family's demands (Where are the door keys? Are we made of plastic? Do 'ghost poos' really count?) weren't enough, Liz must also contend with the madness of parents, friends, bosses, and at least one hovering nemesis. 

Are We Having Fun Yet? is a year with one woman as she faces all the storms of modern life (babysitters, death, threadworms) on her epic quest for that holy grail: a moment to herself.

Poseidon (Realm Book 2) by H.G. Ahedi

 Poseidon (Realm Book 2)

 by H.G. Ahedi 

After the Fall, all is left is blood and revenge.

The destruction of the perimeter, and the vanishing of Titan and Prometheus has left the Realm open to invaders. With a skeleton fleet guarding the outer rims of the solar system, all hopes of defeating the Orias queen have diminished. Now it's about survival. But in a corner of cold dark space, hope lingers.

Emmeline Augury was born to break the rules, and now a fugitive who has nothing to lose and driven by revenge, she conquers all odds and locates the second piece of the mythical device.

The game is on. The pawns are set. As the power of the mythical device unravels itself, who will win? A young girl with her heart set on destroying a being as powerful as the gods themselves? Or the queen who was born to rule the seven realms? 

The answers lie in the wake of the Poseidon.

Manic Street Preachers: Album by Album by Marc Burrows

 Manic Street Preachers: 

Album by Album 

by Marc Burrows 

In a career that’s spanned thirty-five years and generated fourteen albums, fifty-three singles (two of them UK number ones), four Brit Awards, two Ivor Novellas and inspired literally hundreds of university dissertations, quite a few PhD’s and the odd specialist subject on Mastermind, Manic Street Preachers have become, in the words of their 2011 singles collection, national treasures. 

The Welsh trio (who, to many, will always be a quartet) have a uniquely intense impact on their fans; educating them as much as they entertain and inspire. 

This book collects fourteen brand new essays, one for each Manics album, from fourteen different writers from diverse backgrounds, tracing the band’s impact on fans and culture and setting each of their works, from 1992’s Generation Terrorists to 2018’s Resistance Is Futile and beyond, into context. 

The essays are linked by a detailed month-by-month biography by music critic and Manics fan Marc Burrows (The Guardian, The Quietus, Drowned In Sound), who compiled and edited the book, tracing the band’s development from glamourpuss upstart intellectuals to the elder statesmen of British indie rock, via an era-defining run of hits, an historic trip to Cuba and one vanished genius. 

Manic Street Preachers: Album by Album includes a complete discography and is sourced from in-depth archival research, making it one of the most comprehensive and detailed works devoted to the band yet compiled.

The Last Birthday Party by Gary Goldstein

 The Last Birthday Party 

by Gary Goldstein

 

There’s nothing fabulous about 50 for L.A. film critic Jeremy Lerner, who loses his marriage, his job, and the use of his right arm just days after the birthday party he begged his now ex-wife not to throw him. But fate is a sly devil.

Jeremy’s string of calamities leads to a game-changing emotional and creative rebirth after he meets the intoxicating Annabelle, a beguiling widow who comes to his rescue—and Jeremy to hers. If only their baggage didn’t match quite so well.

With the added support of his wise and spirited mom, Joyce, his capricious and big-hearted son, Matty, and Matty’s steadfast new boyfriend, Gabe, Jeremy begins to change in ways that surprise, inspire, and galvanize him. All of this while his career makes a head-spinning leap.

The thing is, can it last?

The Last Birthday Party combines wry observation with an everyday wistfulness for a warm, propulsive, humanly funny tale of second chances set against the alluring nuttiness of Hollywood.

From the Eyes of Evil by B.K JACKSON

 From the Eyes of Evil 

by B.K JACKSON 

An Oregon court has just found James Iversson guilty of eleven counts of murder in the first degree. However, before sentencing of Serial Killer Iversson can be done, the judge has ordered a Psychiatric evaluation to be carried out before the possibility of the death penalty can be imposed.

Dr Martin Grainger is just one of the many experts who have been chosen to take on this task of delving into the sinister and malevolent mind of the killer. However, what he discovers is not only the insight as to what has made this man do the things that he has done. It leads him to challenge his own perceptions of the killer’s mind. 

By doing this the Doctor opens the door to a world that is beyond reckoning. A world in where true evil exists. Once the veil of darkness has been lifted, there is no way to turn back the clocks on an evil older than time itself.

This is Dr Martin Grainger’s journey into darkness.

The Beast of Christmas Valley: A Small-Town Holiday Romance by Kelly Leona

 The Beast of Christmas Valley: 

A Small-Town Holiday Romance 

by Kelly Leona 

The reclusive Will Blackstone may finally have a reason to celebrate Christmas this year.

Nicknamed the “Beast of Christmas Valley” due to facial scarring from a childhood accident, Will tends to hide his face from everyone—including himself. Solitude works just fine for him. Until he meets beautiful hairstylist Teagan Davis.

When she shows up at his house to cut his hair, she doesn’t recoil or stare. Teagan smiles, talks to him… she sees him. Her immediate acceptance of his appearance opens a door—just a tiny crack—for Will to show her who he really is.

Slowly but surely, Teagan coaxes him out of his shell—and out of his cabin. They don’t call Christmas Valley “the most festive town in Montana” for nothing, and for the first time in years, Will finds himself enjoying the holiday season.

But Teagan’s presence unearths long-buried questions for Will: Should he rejoin his community? Should he talk to his family? Should he rethink his life of solitude? Her presence also provokes startlingly new questions for him: Is he capable of accepting love? Will Teagan stay in Christmas Valley long enough for it to matter?

Settle in with a cozy blanket and a mug of hot chocolate as you prepare to read this sweet holiday romance.
