  Chastity - The Shackleford...

  In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it… 
  In the eyes of her family, Chastity Shackleford was impulsive, flighty, overly emotional and inclined to sentimental overtures. All in all, a disaster waiting to happen should she accept the Duke of Blackmore’s offer of a Season in London. But what else was she to do since her twin sister and best friend had abandoned her for the wilds of Cornwall? 
   
  Naturally she might have hoped that disaster had waited a little longer before striking, but at least she faced the possibility of marriage with someone who had all his own teeth. The fact that the gentleman was also wanted for murder was a little off-putting, but then one couldn’t have everything. 
   
  When Christian Stanhope was forced to jump ship after being accused of a crime he didn’t commit, he’d never expected to return to England. But then he’d never expected to become the next Earl of Cottesmore either. 
   
  However, if he was to survive the merciless world of England’s aristocracy, clearing his name was essential. And for that he needed the help of his former First Lieutenant Nicholas Sinclair, now the Duke of Blackmore. But first he had to convince the Duke that he was not guilty of a heinous murder committed seventeen years earlier. A task easier said than done. 
   
  But just when he despaired of ever finding the real culprit and bringing him to justice, help, or possibly hindrance, arrived from an unexpected quarter… 
   
  Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humour and a little bit of steam...

  Freelance writer Sora Reid believes in inertia. She’s the odd one out in a family of go-getters, including her Japanese American mom, who hints about losing weight, and her almost-married sister, who needs Sora to get a date for the wedding, otherwise she’ll be dancing with her Scottish great-uncle Bob. For  
  Sora, the phrase “minimal input, minimal expectations” is a way of life. 
   
  The one thing that disrupts her inertia: an intense dislike for Valentine’s Day.  
   
  What is it with the commercial love machine? Why do we get our hopes up, when staying home with a package of bacon and a bottle of tequila is better? Sora’s been betrayed before, and her heart feels like Grandma Mitsuye’s antique Japanese ceramic bowl with its gold-filled cracks. 
   
  When her pledge to stay single inspires readers to #GoSolo, Sora wants to empower her followers. It shouldn’t be that hard, right? 
   
  Enter Jack Mann, a muscle-bound baker Sora hasn’t thought of since elementary school. When a run-in at the grocery store leads to instant attraction, Sora knows she has to shut it down. She can’t #GoSolo and get the guy. She can’t let down her readers. And relationships always end, so why should  
  Jack be different—even though he’s confounding her expectations of love? 
   
  Cheerfully irreverent, bitingly funny, and filled with romantic charm, The Second You’re Single is about navigating the most romantic month of the year, and how love always comes when you least expect it.

  Mark Twain’s "The Jumping Frog", also know as The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is one of America’s most beloved humorous short stories—a tale brimming with wit, mischief, and the charm of small-town life. When a visiting stranger hears the outlandish story of a gambler and his extraordinary frog, “Dan’l Webster,” he’s drawn into a web of good-natured trickery and tall-tale tradition. Twain’s keen ear for dialect and his playful satire of human gullibility make this story a timeless piece of frontier folklore. 
  Narrated with warmth and personality by Mike Polischuk, this classic captures the lively spirit of 19th-century America and the storytelling genius that made Mark Twain a national treasure.

  Flipping Patriarchy - Imagining...

  'I love this book' Fern Britton
  'Laugh out loud funny' Kate Bottley
  An explosive satire of gender stereotypes that flips patriarchy on its head to highlight sexist double standards.
  Exploring subjects like work and comedy, history and sport, the beauty industry and domesticity, anonymous author Man Who Has It All imagines a world in which men are bombarded with the same stereotypical bullshit as women. What if men's T-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about fathers-in-law, male drivers and middle-class men of a certain age? What if men's history was a niche topic? Behind the jokes about crazy cat gentlemen, testerical men and the twenty-four-hour moustache, lies a deeper, darker message about language, power and control.
  Smart and provocative, Man Who Has It All shines a powerful light on the prejudice ingrained in our society. Told through fictionalised scenarios and wider cultural analysis, this is a feminist handbook that will arm you against the patriarchy.
  'Funny and insightful, but also fiercely radical' Victoria Smith
  'Takes on patriarchy with wit, verve and a mighty dose of good old British sarcasm' Viv Groskop, author of How to Own the Room
  'We need to hide copies in every locker room, Wetherspoons and B&Q' Eleanor Morton, comedian and actor
  'Man Who Has It All does a remarkable job of channelling anger into humour . . . a galvanising read' Rachel Hewitt, author of In Her Nature
