  Sunday Best: Travels through the...

  What if every day was like Sunday? 
  Closed shops and roast dinners. Bulky newspapers and the hum of lawnmowers. Strolls to nowhere in particular and visiting snoozing grandparents. Television theme tunes cueing bath time and a sudden dread of the looming week ahead… 
  Through an assortment of rituals and activities, Sundays came to be the unique day in our week – whether tedious, pleasant or somewhere in-between. But how did they change over time? Has anything interesting ever happened on a Sunday? Have we forgotten how to do Sunday? And, in our rushed modern lives, should we now try to recapture that distinctive, unhurried Sunday feel? 
  Offering answers to those questions and more through a mix of travelogue and social history, Sunday Best entertainingly charts the story of what author Daniel Gray argues is the People’s Day. Told through Sundays whiled away in places from the Hebrides to Hyde Park – via Sunderland, Scarborough, The Peak District and beyond – Gray’s latest book is a charming journey in time and place. Sunday Best offers nostalgia, people’s history and affectionate, absorbing writing – a book drenched in the scent of gravy and summoning the faint sound of church bells. 
  In Sunday Best, Daniel Gray takes us on a nostalgic journey, exploring the essence of Sundays through a blend of memoirs, essays, and humour. This literary non-fiction is a top pick for those seeking to recapture the unhurried feel of the People's Day. 
  For fans of Nige Tassell (Searching for Dexys Midnight Runners), Jon Spurling (Get It On), Giles Tremlett (The International Brigades), Jonathan Wilson (Kick and Run), and Gavin Bell (In Search of Tusitala).

  Set against a backdrop of fame, secrecy, and societal stigma, Gunther Allen recounts his life-changing bond with the legendary Rock Hudson.

  This audiobook offers unparalleled insight into Rock Hudson’s private struggles, including his devastating AIDS diagnosis—a secret he kept hidden from both his partner, Marc Christian, and Gunther Allen.

Through Gunther’s eyes, listeners gain a rare glimpse into Hudson’s life as he navigated the harsh realities of maintaining a public persona while privately battling unimaginable challenges. 
  Narrated by Gunther Allen in his own voice, this gripping account captures the humor, vulnerability, and resilience of a man coming to terms with his identity. 
  Published by Audiobook Publishing Services, Pushed Out of the Closet Without a Parachute is more than just a memoir—it’s a testament to the human spirit. Gunther Allen’s evocative storytelling provides a heartfelt tribute to an era when sexuality was silenced and the devastating impact of AIDS was only beginning to emerge.

  A compelling look at US Navy SEALs through a true-to-life lens focused on the triumphs and challenges of the elite warriors of the Special Forces community. Master Chief (SEAL) Rick Kaiser (Ret.) captures over forty-five years of events in and around the SEAL Teams. It is not a blood-and-guts portrayal of battlefield victories and losses, but an authentic view of how things are done in the Teams. The SEALs truly are silent professionals and the most memorable stories often don't feature combat but are the moments that shape these exceptional warriors. 
   
   
   
  A Silver Star recipient for his leadership during the battle of Mogadishu—"Black Hawk Down"—and a prominent member of both SEAL Team TWO and SEAL Team Six, Rick has been recognized throughout his career for his courage, commitment, and fortitude. Continuing to serve the SEALs as chief operating officer of the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum, Rick is the perfect person to tell the Navy SEAL story the way it really is, sharing the life and leadership lessons he learned along the way.
