Books

Add a comment By Brooke

Animals are talking. And it's in all caps.

From the internet famous blog comes the hilarious book Animal's Talking in All Caps.

A giraffe who might be violating his restraining order. An alpaca with a very dirty secret. A cat who's "really"mad at you. These are just a few of the hilariously human animals you'll meet in "Animals Talking in All Caps. "Inspired by the wildly popular blog of the same name and including some of the site's best-loved entries as well as gobs of never-before-seen material, these pages provide a brilliantly unhinged glimpse into the animal mind.

Animal's Talking in All Caps is a great book for all those animal lovers out there. Get your copy and start laughing :D

Richard & Kahlan returns in The Third Kingdom!

Books

Add a comment By Brooke

After the sweeping epic that is The Sword of Truth series, we return again to Richard and Kahlan in The Third Kingdom – where the two are once again in dire straights as dark forces approach…

The bloodthirsty Jit is dead, and against all odds Richard and Kahlan have survived. But a new menace has attacked them in the Dark Lands. Infected with the essence of death itself, robbed of his power as a war wizard, Richard must race against time to uncover and stop the infernal conspiracy assembling itself behind the wall far to the north. His friends and allies are already captives of this fell combination, and Kahlan, also touched by death's power, will die completely if Richard fails. Bereft of magic, Richard has only his sword, his wits, his capacity for insight – and an extraordinary companion, the young Samantha, a healer just coming into her powers.

She's super grumpy and internet famous! Grumpy Cat, a very grumpy book, is out now!

In the style of the hugely popular meme that has grown up around Grumpy Cat, the book will offer a tour of Grumpy Cat's least favourite things (that is, everything) along with her scathing commentary throughout. The book will include cameos by some of the other animals in her life–a friendly dog, her brother, Pokey and other hapless bystanders who wither when faced with her epic frown. Think ‘Blue Day’ book without the positive spin. The perfect gift for someone who's having a bad day (or year) and needs some cheering up (or commiseration), this grumpy little book is also a natural self-buy for the thousands who appreciate this cat's hilarious expression and ill humour toward all.

Grumpy Cat is in stock and ready to ship! Get your copy today! Be sure to checkout our other new books as well!

Jack Reacher as we know and love him in Never Go Back!

Add a comment By Brooke

The latest Jack Reacher novel Never Go Back is coming soon! Return to the tough as nails ex-military cop as he wanders back into what he thought was familiar territory.

After an epic and interrupted journey all the way from the snows of South Dakota, Jack Reacher has finally made it to Virginia. His destination: a sturdy stone building a short bus ride from Washington D.C., the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. It was the closest thing to a home he ever had. Why? He wants to meet the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner. He liked her voice on the phone. But the officer sitting behind Reacher's old desk isn't a woman. Why is Susan Turner not there? What Reacher doesn't expect is what comes next. He himself is in big trouble, accused of a sixteen-year-old homicide. And he certainly doesn't expect to hear these words: ‘You're back in the army, Major. And your ass is mine.’ Will he be sorry he went back? Or – will someone else?

Never Go Back by Lee Child releases 30th August – pre-order now to secure your copy!

Everyone's favorite single is back - Bridget Jones is Mad About the Boy!

Books

Add a comment By Brooke

The distinct and sardonic voice of Bridget Jones is beloved by many, through both book and film we have gotten to know the eternally unlucky lady. Bridget is back, and this time she is Mad about The Boy – coming soon!

When Helen Fielding first wrote Bridget Jones' Diary, charting the life of a 30-something singleton in London in the 1990s, she introduced readers to one of the most beloved characters in modern literature. The book was published in 40 countries, sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, and spawned a best-selling sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. The two books were turned into major blockbuster films starring Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. With her hotly anticipated third instalment, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Fielding introduces us to a whole new enticing phase of Bridget's life set in contemporary London, including the challenges of maintaining sex appeal as the years roll by and the nightmare of drunken texting, the skinny jean, the disastrous email cc, total lack of twitter followers, and TVs that need 90 buttons and three remotes to simply turn on.

Follow Bridget's tri­umphant return to the page and pre-order the Mad about The Boy book. Secure your copy for a 11th October release!

RED RUM, RED RUM! Stephen King's little boy from The Shining returns!

Books

Add a comment By Brooke

A boy. A mansion. The deep heart of winter and a father driven insane. These are the foundations of Danny Torrance's life, which began in The Shining. Stephen King has revisited Danny many years later, in his latest book, Doctor Sleep – coming soon!

Doctor Sleep picks up the story of the now middle-aged Dan, working at a hospice in rural New Hampshire, and the very special twelve-year old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals. On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless – mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and tween Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the ‘steam’ that children with the ‘shining’ produce when they are slowly tortured to death. Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him and a job at a nursing home where his remnant ‘shining’ power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes ‘Doctor Sleep.’ Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan's own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra's soul and survival …

Doctor Sleep releases 24 September – pre-order now to secure your copy!

This is important for childhood development since it teaches little people so much about the world around them. There are all sorts of practical and fun ideas in Recipe for Play: safe, edible paint can be made from yoghurt; eggs can be hollowed out and filled with jelly; and what child could resist the temptation of filling her hands with rainbow coloured rice?
