  A Sunday Times number one bestseller in the United Kingdom, this is the intimate and revealing autobiography of Margaret Rhodes, first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and niece of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. Margaret was born into the Scottish aristocracy, into a now almost vanished world of privilege. Royalty often came to stay, and her house was run in the style of Downton Abbey. During the Second World War, she "lodged" at Buckingham Palace while she worked for MI5. She was a bridesmaid at the wedding of her cousin, Princess Elizabeth, to Prince Philip. Three years later, the King and Queen attended her own wedding, in which Princess Margaret was a bridesmaid. 
   
   
    
  In 1990, she was appointed as a lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother, acting also as her companion, which she describes in touching detail. In the early months of 2002, she spent as much time as possible with her ailing aunt and was at her bedside when she died. The next morning, she went to Queen Elizabeth's bedroom to pray, and in farewell dropped her a final curtsey. The Queen Mother regarded Margaret Rhodes as her "third daughter," and she has been extremely close to her cousins, the Queen and Princess Margaret, throughout their lives. Full of charming anecdotes and fascinating characters, this is an unparalleled insight into the private life of the British monarchy.

  What would you do if you only had five years left to live? For some, this is a tragic reality, for most, it’s a question they will never be forced to answer. Luke Richmond asks this question often, not from morbid curiosity, but to ensure he is filling his days with value and living life with no regrets. The awareness of a finite reality has taken Luke from a small town in rural Australia, into the harshest and most challenging environments on Earth. After serving in the Army, Luke has summited some of the highest peaks, set world records rowing across oceans, dragged a cart through the Gobi Desert, and leapt from cliffs in the adrenalin-fuelled world of B.A.S.E Jumping. These adventures are just a few of the answers Luke discovered when he asked himself this life changing question. 
  Join him in his third book, Five Years to Live, as he takes you further into the unknown and pedals a tiny boat from Thailand to Sri Lanka, climbs Himalayan peaks in Nepal, and journeys through the vast Australian outback on a bicycle. His persistent desire to see what is over the horizon will also lead you into the desert in search of hidden treasure, onto a raft down the wild Franklin River in Tasmania, on foot along the Larapinta Trail, and riding a surfboard as he attempts to tame the ultimate wave along Australia’s east coast.  
   Whether you’re an armchair traveller or a fellow thrill-seeker, this memoir is a must-read for anyone who dreams of embarking on their own epic journey of freedom and self-discovery.

  Stumbling Blocks is a powerful intergenerational memoir by Jennifer Krebs that explores her family’s journey from Nazi Germany to rural America. Blending personal history, Jewish identity, and emotional reflection, the book traces her father’s memories of growing up under the Third Reich and her own coming-of-age in small-town New York as the daughter of a survivor. The title refers to the Stolpersteine—brass plaques in Europe commemorating victims of National Socialism—that spark a meditation on trauma, memory, and belonging. With warmth, honesty, and a touch of wit, Krebs reflects on family legacy, the echoes of history, and the quiet resilience of survival.
