  'A compelling and entertaining romp... thoroughly engrossing.' --Patricia Wood, shortlisted for the 2008 Orange Prize 
  'A beautifully paced and balanced novel.' --Seamus Deane, Booker Prize shortlistee 
  Desperate to escape his predetermined existence, Danny decides to break out from life in Northern Ireland, and move to London. He then meets Piper, a friendly and outgoing American girl on a quest of her own. 
  Two very different worlds are thrown together as Danny is willingly absorbed into unfamiliar territory. However, when the Hammersmith Bridge is bombed, Piper disappears without a trace and Danny finds himself the centre of a police investigation, hounded by whispers of the IRA. 
  Dark and humorous, Danny and Piper's story is one of dysfunctional parenting, clashing motives and twenty-something's negotiating love and big city life. 
  Perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Tom Clancy and Brad Thor

  DISCLAIMER: This is NOT the Official Book. This is a Summary & it does NOT Accompany the Official Book. 
  In this era-defining novel that Stephen King heralded as the "Catch-22 of early feminism," we follow Zott from the lab to the kitchen. The book highlights the strikingly unscientific attitude towards gender equality amongst her male colleagues, save for Calvin Evans, a Nobel-prize nominated intellect who becomes smitten with her sharp mind, sparking undeniable chemistry. 
  Life's unpredictability leads Zott from being a single mother to a reluctant star of the beloved cooking show, "Supper at Six." Her unconventional cooking methods quickly become revolutionary, and as her influence expands, she dares women to challenge the status quo. 
  A perfect blend of humor, sharp observations, and a stellar cast of characters, "Lessons in Chemistry" is as captivating and vibrant as its protagonist. It's more than a novel - it's a testament to female empowerment in a time of change.

  A collection of some of the finest words of wisdom from the president of the United States of America. Whether you are a card-carrying member of the NRA and fully-committed QAnon believer that will help Make America Great Again or a Bernie pinky that still believes Hillary is the true President in exile, this book of Trumpisms is something you should carry with you at all times. These words of back-combed wisdom will either be your bible, codified gems of genius that help you make sense of this brave new world, or they will be infuriating examples of embarrassing ignorance that form the backbone of your argument as to why this enigma should never have become leader of the free world. Either way, you cannot argue that there is no one like Trump. This is Trump in his own words, how he sees the world and some of the people that inhabit it. We have picked the best of the bunch for you.  Go forth wall builders. Enjoy.

  This romantic comedy about finding your place in the world “will make you laugh out loud and warm your heart from start to finish” (Books of All Kinds). 
   
  Lydia knows first-hand that “having it all” isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be. 
   
  As far as she’s concerned, when it comes to job versus family, it’s a case of one or the other. And whilst most women her age have spent years climbing the corporate ladder, she’s made a career out of bagging her perfect man. Now, nearly thirty and still single, Lydia wonders if she’d made the right choice. 
   
  Realising the time has come to take stock, she goes against her family’s wishes and decides to travel, in the hope of finding a new direction. At least that’s the plan. 
   
  So when Sam comes along, she decides to tell a little white lie, re-inventing herself as a professional chef—not exactly the best new identity for a woman who can’t cook. But the truth can’t stay hidden for long and when her family show up unexpectedly things go from bad to worse . . . 
   
  “The perfect read for anytime of the year . . . filled with fun and romance that readers will devour.” —By the Letter Book Reviews
