  ‘I romped through ‘Why Mummy Drinks at Christmas’, and I absolutely adored it’ – Jilly Cooper 
  Tis’ the season to get trollied! 
  Mummy has always loved Christmas. Sure, the kids turn into demons, the dinner gets burnt to a crisp and Aunt Louisa’s general staggering inappropriateness sends Mummy reaching for the nearest maximum-strength festive tipple, but nevertheless, for her, Christmas is always special. 
  This year, she wants nothing more than to perfectly fig up the pudding and sit by the fire reading aloud from A Christmas Carol to a rapt, rosy-cheeked audience. But, just like all Mummy’s best-laid plans, this year’s Festive Vision is in danger of being totally derailed by her chaotic family. There’s not much chance of any action under the mistletoe, and the kids are just not playing ball. 
  Can Mummy find her silver lining after all and bring the whole family together for one moment of harmony, so they can finally proclaim ‘Verily You Are the Queen of Christmas’? Or should she get stuck into the festive spirits and just let it all go? 
  In this humorous and biographical fiction, Gill Sims, the Sunday Times bestselling author, brings to life the chaotic yet endearing reality of family life during the festive season. The top-notch narrative explores the complexities of marriage, friendship, and the inevitable divorce, all wrapped up in the spirit of Christmas. 
  For fans of Sophie Kinsella (What Does it Feel Like?), Freya Kennedy (The Hopes and Dreams of Libby Quinn), Kristen Bailey (Textbook Romance), Alexandra Potter (More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up), and Jane Fallon (Getting Rid of Matthew).

  ‘Every time I speak to someone and hear about their experiences, it leaves me with a sense of running’s incredible power to help people overcome pretty much anything.’
   
  Each day, millions of people around the world put on their trainers and try to deal with their personal demons and life challenges by going for a run. And, increasingly, they do it knowing that they are not alone: a growing and often virtual community is right there running alongside them. We are all, in some sense, running for our lives.
   
  Rachel Ann Cullen’s first book, Running for My Life, described her own marathon journey through depression, bipolar disorder and body dysmorphia, and her revelatory discovery that running could transform her physical and mental wellbeing. After hearing from people who had read about her experiences, Rachel wanted to tell some stories of other runners from all around the world – ordinary people living with mental health struggles, grief, cancer and other unavoidable life events who have relied on running to get them through their worst days and to keep going. Running for Our Lives shares moving accounts of hope and resilience; it demonstrates the power of running to help us all overcome adversity, and is a lesson for us all in learning not only how to survive life’s challenges, but to thrive.

  Amelia Earhart's name has become synonymous with courage, ambition, and mystery. As one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century, her groundbreaking achievements in aviation and her tragic disappearance continue to captivate historians, researchers, and the general public. Earhart’s life was a tapestry of pioneering success and relentless determination, making her a symbol of human resilience and curiosity. 
    
  Born in 1897, Earhart grew up with a passion for adventure, defying the gender norms of her time. Her fascination with flying began during her twenties, and she quickly rose to prominence as an aviator. From being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean to setting numerous records for altitude and speed, Earhart consistently pushed the boundaries of what women could achieve. Beyond her aerial accomplishments, she was also a writer, lecturer, and staunch advocate for women’s rights, inspiring generations to dream beyond societal expectations. 
    
  Yet, it is not just Earhart’s achievements that cement her legacy. The enduring mystery surrounding her disappearance in 1937 during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe has kept her story alive in a way few others have achieved. Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, vanished somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, sparking one of the largest search efforts in history. Despite extensive naval and aerial searches, no definitive trace of Earhart or her aircraft was ever found, leaving room for endless speculation and theories.

  One woman’s dramatic account of her stint in the U.S. Marine Corps, exploring the prejudice and mistreatment of women in combat zones. Not even old enough to drink, Corporal Savannah Cannon is a young enlisted United States Marine deployed to support Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2010. As a tactical data networking specialist, she is sent away from everyone she knows and attached to a Regimental Combat Team where women are not allowed to repair communications. Her experiences over the next few months shed light on the unique and difficult positions women are placed in when supporting combat roles, while offering a raw look at the painful choices women must sometimes make. Cannon finds herself in a combat zone, ostracized from family, friends, and even her fellow Marines as the men are told to avoid her. The connections she makes are born from trauma and desperation and the choices she makes will echo throughout many lives. Corporal Cannon is not the story of a heroine; it is the hard-hitting account of just one of the flawed individuals who make up the United States’ fighting forces. Mistakes in the battlefield can have dire consequences, personally and professionally. Reflecting on her time in service, the author weaves a story of past and present, and the healing that can come with admitting our mistakes and moving past them.
