Who is Captain Tom? 👨‍✈️ You’ve seen hi Who is Captain Tom? 👨‍✈️ You’ve seen him on the television walking the length of his garden. A 100 year old man determined to do his bit at a time of crisis. But he wasn’t always like this. Where did he come from? Where was he made? 👨‍✈️ From a childhood in the foothills of the Yorkshire Dales, Tom Moore grew up in a loving family, which wasn’t without its share of tragedy. It was a time of plenty and of wants. When the storm clouds of the Second World War threatened, he raised his hand and, like many of his generation, joined up to fight. His war would take him from a country he had never left to a place which would steal his heart, India, and the Far East, to which he would return in his nineties to view the sight he had missed first time around, the distant peak of Everest. 👨‍✈️ Captain Tom’s story is our story; the story of our past hundred years here in Britain. It’s a time which has seen so much change, when yet so much has stayed the same - the national spirit, the can-do attitude, a belief in doing your best for others. 👨‍✈️ In this rich, happy life packed with incident, you will encounter time and again the curiosity, courage and generosity that saw Captain Tom look around him during our current crisis and decide that something had to be done...
In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely fr In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved murders. 🔍 But when a brutal killing takes place on their very doorstep, the Thursday Murder Club find themselves in the middle of their first live case. 🔍 Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be pushing eighty, but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. 🔍 Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer before it’s too late?
In a quiet English village in 1942, an elegant hou In a quiet English village in 1942, an elegant housewife emerged from her cottage to go on her usual bike ride. A devoted wife and mother-of-three, the woman known to her neighbours as Mrs Burton seemed to epitomise rural British domesticity. 🕵🏼‍♀️ However, rather than pedalling towards the shops with her ration book, she was racing through the Oxfordshire countryside to gather scientific intelligence from one of the country’s most brilliant nuclear physicists. Secrets she would rather transmit to Soviet intelligence headquarters via the radio transmitter she was hiding in her outdoor privy. 🕵🏼‍♀️ Far from a British housewife, Mrs Burton - born Ursula Kuczynski, and codenamed ‘Sonya’ - was a German Jew, a dedicated communist, a colonel in Russia’s Red Army, and a highly trained spy. From planning an assassination attempt on Hitler in Switzerland to spying on the Japanese in Manchuria and helping the Soviet Union build the atom bomb, Sonya conducted some of the most dangerous espionage operations of the twentieth century. Her story has never been told - until now. 🕵🏼‍♀️ Agent Sonya is the exhilarating account of one woman’s life; a life that encompasses the rise and fall of communism itself, and altered the course of history.
Private Detective Cormoran Strike is visiting his Private Detective Cormoran Strike is visiting his family in Cornwall when he is approached by a woman asking for help finding her mother, Margot Bamborough, who went missing in mysterious circumstances in 1974. 🕵🏻‍♂️🕵🏼‍♀️ Strike has never tackled a cold case before, let alone one forty years old. But despite the slim chance of success, he is intrigued and takes it on - adding to the long list of cases that he and his partner in the agency, Robin Ellacott, are currently working on. And Robin herself is also juggling a messy divorce and unwanted male attention, as well as battling her own feelings about Strike. 🕵🏻‍♂️🕵🏼‍♀️ As Strike and Robin investigate Margot’s disappearance, they come up against a fiendishly complex case with leads that include tarot cards, a psychopathic serial killer and witnesses who cannot all be trusted. And they learn that even cases decades old can prove to be deadly... 🕵🏻‍♂️🕵🏼‍♀️ A breathtaking, labyrinthine epic, Troubled Blood is the fifth Strike and Robin novel and the most gripping and satisfying yet.
If there is one thing that most of us aspire to, i If there is one thing that most of us aspire to, it is, simply, to be happy. 🍁 And yet attaining happiness has become, it appears, anything but simple. Having stuff - The Latest, The Newest, The Best Yet - is all too often peddled as the sure-fire route to happiness. So why then, in our consumer driven society, are depression, stress and anxiety ever more common, affecting every strata of society and every age? Why is it, when we have so much, that many of us still feel we are missing something and the rush of pleasure when we buy something quickly turns into a feeling of emptiness, purposelessness or guilt? Could it be that our lives have just become overly crowded, that we’ve lost sight of the things that give us a sense of achievement, a feeling of joy or excitement? That makes us happy - ? 🍁 Kate Humble’s fresh and frank exploration of a stripped-back approach to life is uplifting, engaging and inspiring - and will help us reconsider, reflect and reprioritise to find a balance that feels right.

“I could see how easy it would be to fall into l “I could see how easy it would be to fall into loving Bella. It would be exactly like falling: effortless. Not letting myself love her was the opposite of falling - it was pulling myself up a cliff face, hand over hand, the task as gruelling as if I had no more than mortal strength.” 🧛🏻‍♂️ When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, an iconic love story was born. But until now, fans have heard only Bella’s side of the story. At last, readers can experience Edward’s version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun. 🧛🏻‍♂️ This unforgettable tale, as told through Edward’s eyes, takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire. As we learn more fascinating details about Edward’s past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. How can he justify following his heart if it means leading Bella into danger? 🧛🏻‍♂️ In Midnight Sun, Stephenie Meyer transports us back to a world that has captivated millions of readers, and brings us an epic novel about the profound pleasures and devastating consequences of immortal love.
