  'I haven't read a funnier book all year' The Wall Street Journal 
  The world’s hottest movie couple, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, are enduring a year-long film shoot with the world’s most pernickety film director, Stanley Kubrick. Unfortunately the super-secret film set of Eyes Wide Shut has been invaded by Kubrick’s worst nightmare: Kim the tabloid reporter, complete with his trusty spy-pen camera. 
  Based on a true story, Movie Rogue details how in 1996 a Sun reporter became an extra on one of the most searingly graphic scenes in movie history. Along the way – it’s said – he also befriended both Tom Cruise and Kubrick. But this reporter is so much more than a mere scum-sucking tabloid hack. He is also a matchmaker, and with a wave of Kim’s pixie dust, even the most far-fetched couples can fall in love.

  In an era where pop stars are more than performers, they are also brands, icons, and political actors. Celebrity, Image, and the New Politics of Pop offers a groundbreaking look into the cultural power of one of the most influential figures of our time: Ariana Grande. 
  Drawing on cultural criticism, media theory, and feminist analysis, this book examines how Grande has strategically crafted her image to navigate and challenge the evolving landscapes of celebrity, gender politics, and digital culture. From her early Nickelodeon days to her transformation into a global feminist symbol, Grande's rise is more than a success story; it's a case study in how pop stardom operates in the 21st century. 
  Whether she's using social media to bypass traditional media gatekeepers or reclaiming agency over her body and voice, Grande embodies a new kind of celebrity, one that blurs the lines between personal branding and political influence, performance and authenticity. 
  For readers fascinated by pop culture, media studies, feminism, or the artistry and ambition behind one of today's biggest stars, this book is an essential and eye-opening read.

  The France Alphabet is a wry, informative handbook for the discerning international traveller on how to handle the French. It offers essential A-Z insights into France and its ways through a snap alphabetic look at characters, traditions and historical events that together get to the essence of who the French are. France's best known writers and thinkers over the centuries come under the handbook's microscope with a light, challenging touch, as do world figures like Napoleon and Joan of Arc as well as France's role in high fashion, sex and the art of staying slim. For newcomers to France, indeed also for those already acquainted with its ways, The France Alphabet gives fresh insider counsel on how to discuss these things, some extremely touchy, when in French company. Each A-Z feature, from A is for Art, through R is for Revolution to Z is for Zola is the selection of English author David Lawday, who has long made France his home and has a French wife. Each one - with a brisk commentary and matching cartoon - epitomizes what it is that helps make the French the way they are.

  What the New Order Seeks, Reginald Must Find... 
  The new vampire president and his psychotic right-hand man have been playing a dangerous game with the humans over the past six months. In the public eye, the two races appear to be at peace ... but the situation below the surface is hot enough to boil. 
  And while the untrusting humans mass their defenses, vampire armies have been building to match them — with plans to exterminate the planet's current inhabitants, saving only a handful of blood slaves. 
  Reginald, Nikki, Maurice, and the others bunkered in at Maurice's estate find themselves in the middle of a no-win scenario: Is it better to fight with their own kind in the vampire revolution? Or should they turn traitors — and risk extermination by the angels — in order to protect the humans? 
  But just as the cold war outside is about to turn hot, Reginald's ever-expanding vampire brain reveals the existence of an artifact that could predict the outcome of the coming war … and maybe even a way to stop it. The only problem is that nobody knows where the artifact is, and when war then breaks and mass slaughter begins on both sides, it seems that time may have run out. 
  Fat Vampire 5 is the biggest, bloodiest, most snack-filled installment in the Fat Vampire series so far, and sets the stage for the sixth book's epic series-ender — a conclusion so big it’ll shake the human world’s foundations.
