In the court of the King, everyone knows their place. But as the Artist wins hearts and egos with his ballads, uncomfortable truths emerge that shake the Kingdom to its core. Part surreal fable and part narco-lit romance, this prize-winning novel from Yuri Herrera questions the price of keeping your integrity in a world ruled by patronage and power.

    Humorist Patrick F. McManus has been called "a master at spoofing sportsmen" by Publishers Weekly. His rib-tickling books about hunting, fishing, and camping receive rave reviews from national media. The New York Times Book Review writes, "Everybody should read Patrick McManus." In the chapters of Never Sniff a Gift Fish, McManus will teach you the wisdom that is usually shared only in the close ranks of modern-day hunters and gatherers. To complete your arsenal, McManus also includes The Hunter’s Workout Guide and a special Family Camper’s Dictionary. Exercises like the hindquarter shuffle will make you move like a hunter. And phrases like "Yip-yip-yip-Owoooooo!" will help you sound like one, too. Whether he’s poking fun at fly fishing or taking on some other sportsman’s icon, Patrick F. McManus is sure to have you laughing aloud. Norman Dietz’s wry narration is the perfect vehicle for McManus’ best-selling, tongue-in-cheek works. Also available: How I Got This Way , The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw, and The Good Samaritan Strikes Again .

    ‘The love story you need in your suitcase this summer!’ Red 
    What if you almost missed the love of your life? 
    Nadia gets the 7.30 train every morning without fail. Well, except if she oversleeps or wakes up at her friend Emma’s after too much wine. 
    Daniel really does get the 7.30 train every morning, which is easy because he hasn’t been able to sleep properly since his dad died. 
    One morning, Nadia’s eye catches sight of a post in the daily paper: 
    To the cute girl with the coffee stains on her dress. I’m the guy who’s always standing near the doors… Drink sometime? 
    So begins a not-quite-romance of near-misses, true love, and the power of the written word. 
     Includes a bonus Q&A between Laura Jane Williams and Carrie Hope Fletcher  
    A wonderfully funny will-they-won’t-they romance told with real emotional honesty, perfect 
    for those who loved Sally Thorne’s 99% Mine and Helena Hunting’s Meet Cute. 
    Recommended by Bustle as a ‘Rom-Com Novel You Need To Read This Summer!’
