At Montverre, an exclusive academy tucked away in At Montverre, an exclusive academy tucked away in the mountains, the best and brightest are trained for excellence in the grand jeu: an arcane and mysterious contest. Léo Martin was once a student there, but lost his passion for the grand jeu following a violent tragedy. Now he returns in disgrace, exiled to his old place of learning with his political career in tatters. 📖 Montverre has changed since he studied there, even allowing a woman, Claire Dryden, to serve in the grand jeu’s highest office of Magister Ludi. When Léo first sees Claire, he senses an odd connection with her, though he’s sure they have never met before. 📖 The bond between them is strengthening: but both Léo and Claire have built their lives on lies. And as the legendary Midsummer Game draws closer, secrets are whispering in the walls...
Memoir Monday...In the stirring, highly anticipate Memoir Monday...In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, @barackobama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency - a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil. 🇺🇸 Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4th 2008, when he was elected 44th President of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. 🇺🇸 Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. 🇺🇸 A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective - the story of one man’s bet with history, the faith of a community organiser tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change”, and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible. 🇺🇸 This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama’s conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

Congratulations to @douglas_stuart for winning the Congratulations to @douglas_stuart for winning the #2020BookerPrize for his debut novel Shuggie Bain! 🏆 Agnes Bain had always expected more. In the Glasgow of the early 80s, she dreamed of greater things: a house with its own front door, a life bought and paid for outright (like her perfect - but false - teeth). When her philandering husband ups and leaves, she and her three children find themselves trapped in a mining town decimated by Thatcherism. As Agnes increasingly turns to alcohol for comfort, her children try their best to save her. Yet one by one they abandon her in order to save themselves. It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest. But Shuggie has problems of his own: despite all his efforts to pass as a normal boy, everyone has started to realise that Shuggie is “no right”. Agnes wants to be there for her son, but her addiction has the power to eclipse everyone close to her - even her beloved Shuggie. Laying bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of love, and the hollowness of pride, Shuggie Bain is a blistering and heartbreaking debut from a remarkable new writer.

“What surprised me was how entirely serene I fel “What surprised me was how entirely serene I felt. I was weightless, no forces exerting themselves on my body. I wasn’t too hot, or too cold. To my left was the space station. Below me, gradually going into shadow, was the Earth. And over my right shoulder was the universe.” 👨🏻‍🚀 In fascinating and personal detail, and drawing on exclusive diaries and audio recordings from his mission, astronaut @astro_timpeake takes readers closer than ever before to experience what life in space is really like: the sights, the smells, the fear, the sacrifice, the exhilaration and the deep and abiding wonder of the view. 🚀 Warm, inspiring and often funny, Tim charts his surprising road to becoming an astronaut, from a shy and unassuming boy from Chichester who had a passion for flight, to a young British Army officer, Apache helicopter pilot, flight instructor and test pilot who served around the world. Tim’s extensive eighteen-year career in the army included the command of a platoon of soldiers in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, deployment in Bosnia, and operations in Afghanistan. 🪐 Tim also relives his selection by the European Space Agency, when he was chosen from over eight thousand candidates, and his gruelling six years of training to be an astronaut, tested physically, psychologically, emotionally and intellectually - from learning Russian in St Petersburg to coping with the darkness and claustrophobia of living for days in caves in Sardinia and under the ocean off the coast of Florida. ☄️ Full of life lessons for readers of all ages, Limitless is the story of how ordinary can become extraordinary.
