Summary

Spies like Jyp are hard to find.
 
Inflicting Christian names like Jefferson Youll on a young lad already saddled with a surname like Patbottom is a sufficient handicap for anyone, but if you have the misfortune to be educated at Watlington County Grammar and end up as thick as a plank, life gets very tricky indeed.
 
Settling for Jyp and braving a succession of dead-end jobs, he finds sanctuary in a Government statistics department dealing with figures. To escape the amorous attention of his ever-helpful colleague, Jyp dives into another office, where he is mistaken for a trained spy killer and recruited by one of Britain’s security departments.
 
Bumbling, he takes on a fight to unmask a series of trusted spies in the heart of Whitehall in a desperate battle to win the hand of his true love.
Available since: 03/08/2023.

    The feelgood, romance, guaranteed to make you smile from bestselling winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Award 2024, Maxine Morrey 
Some days Bee feels invisible. Most days Bee does not feel as if she is ‘living her best life’. 
Sure she has a loyal group of friends, a job she’s good at, and a small London flat to call home, but a lot of the time, Bee feels as if no one actually ‘sees’ her.  
Her best friend, the unfeasibly handsome and successful Luca Donato does not have that problem. People are practically falling over themselves whenever they see Luca, but one thing the two friends do have in common, is they haven’t yet found the ‘One’. When their friend Tia challenges them to change all that through online dating, Luca and Bee set about the task with very different levels of enthusiasm. 
The saying goes that you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince, and it’s not long before Bee is ready to admit defeat. But with Luca inundated with potential love interests, Bee is determined not to give up. Surely her perfect partner is out there somewhere…

Ann Josephson is a twenty-five-year-old sociopath whose compulsive kleptomania manifests itself in the most unlikely of places: the community center where she works out every day. The walls of the community center insulate her from the terrors of the outside world, which include her freelance work as a graphic artist; her socialite parents, who pay the better part of her living expenses; her therapist, who devotedly punches the clock; and the dark void of romantic relationships.As Ann battles the inner demons that plague her millennial psyche, she must also battle the fiends that plague her at the gym: the loudly grunting beefcake who can’t be bothered to drop his weights at a reasonable volume, the naked old lady in the locker room using a towel as butt floss, the housewife in yoga pants that obviate the need for yoga wheeling her double stroller up and down the indoor track. Set in suburban Kansas City in the early 2010s, Community Klepto—a droll combination of Bridget Jones’ Diary and Choke—makes incarnate the characters and shenanigans that go on in every gym in the world.

    An audiobook for your cat, recited in its native language. Tens of thousands of repetitions of the word "meow" lifted from the pages of the bestselling Meow: A Novel. An unforgettable 14-hour journey into the heart of the feline experience. 
Publisher's Description:  
"Meow meow meow meow meow, meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow? Meow." 
So begins Sam Austen's searing debut novel: an expansive, stream-of-consciousness fusillade decipherable only by cats, which may very well be a raucous, cogent satire laying waste to the literary establishment and the concept of language itself. 
Or it may not. 
Here, the experts weigh in: 
 "Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow, meow. Meow meow." 
- Professor Beans, Unaltered Domestic Shorthair 
 "Meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow." 
- Constable Stubbs, Breed Indeterminate 
 "Meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow. Meow, meow meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow." 
-Cuddle Princess, Devon Rex (very affectionate!) 
 "Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow." 
- Fyodor Dostoevsky
