WINNER OF THE 2022 GOLDSMITH BOOK PRIZE WINNER OF THE 2022 SPERBER PRIZE The long-buried story of three extraordinary female journalists who permanently shattered the barriers to women covering war. Kate Webb, an Australian iconoclast, Catherine Leroy, a French daredevil photographer, and Frances FitzGerald, a blue-blood American intellectual, arrived in Vietnam with starkly different life experiences but one shared purpose: to report on the most consequential story of the decade. At a time when women were considered unfit to be foreign reporters, Frankie, Catherine, and Kate challenged the rules imposed on them by the military, ignored the belittlement of their male peers, and ultimately altered the craft of war reportage for generations. In You Don’t Belong Here, Elizabeth Becker uses these women’s work and lives to illuminate the Vietnam War from the 1965 American buildup, the expansion into Cambodia, and the American defeat and its aftermath. Arriving herself in the last years of the war, Becker writes as a historian and a witness of the times. What emerges is an unforgettable story of three journalists forging their place in a land of men, often at great personal sacrifice. Deeply reported and filled with personal letters, interviews, and profound insight, You Don’t Belong Here fills a void in the history of women and of war.

Poignant . . . I loved it!' ELAINE FEENEY 'A beautiful, deeply affecting story.' DONAL RYAN 'Hugely compelling and utterly persuasive.' JOSEPH O'CONNOR From the author of the beloved debut Boys Don't Cry - an unforgettable story of love and loss and how the ones we love never really leave us. He's leaning in. I'm leaning in. 'The future is ours to make, Shauns,' he says, lips almost touching. Summer, 1991. Dean: sun-stung and sticky with cool ice-pop juice, walks to the middle of The Green to get a good gawk at the new salon. And at the owner's kid. Hands deep in his pockets, his jet-black mop of hair hides the tension in his face at the thought of going back home. Shauna: stands well hid behind her ma - her eyes dark and haunted like the rest of her. The salon is theirs, a fresh start. The smell of her ma's Body Shop perfume clings to her jumper - Shauna can't be anywhere else other than here. Instantly inseparable, their friendship blooms. But as time passes and tell-tale blushes and school fights develop into something deeper, conflicting responsibilities threaten to pull Shauna and Dean apart. When all seems lost, will they find each other under the same blue sky? Readers adore May All Your Skies Be Blue: 'I LOVED it . . . Scarlett is a fabulous writer. I was undone, bawling.' 'Beautiful, devastating and raw. I don't think this book will ever leave me.' 'Absolute corker of a book, that I will be recommending to absolutely everyone.' 'Fíona has a rare talent. For writing, beautiful and sensitively, without resorting to sentimentality. For bringing characters to life. For representing the working classes as they are, as a diverse group.

You Read My Mind from Ridley’s is the game that will have you asking, “What were you thinking?!” Think you're in sync with your sister? Feel like you share the same brain as your bestie? Are you on the same wavelength as your wife? Let's test that theory. Connect with another player to link two random words together. Sound easy? Well, here's the catch: you must not speak! Instead, write down your answers and hope you've both caught the same vibe. If your answers are the same, congrats, you're Master Mind Readers!

Nominate two Mind Readers to lead the round. They each turn over a card on the table. Now everyone writes down an answer, but only two players can win points. The Mind Readers go first. If their answers match, they win the cards! If they don't, that brings everyone else into play. If any two players-but only two players!-match answers, then they win the cards. The player who wins the most cards is the Master Mind Reader, and everyone should be wary of them from now on. Seriously. Who It's For: Friends who think they know each other, families who think they're awesome communicators, and people who actually believe they're psychic.

'As a rule, the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be. It is your commonplace, featureless crimes which are really puzzling, just as a commonplace face is the most difficult to identify.' Published in 1892, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a gripping collection short stories that showcase the legendary consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, at his most impressive. With twelve perplexing mysteries, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes brings together some of the earliest short stories to feature the eccentric yet ingenious Sherlock Holmes, with his trusty chronicler, Dr John Watson, by his side. From stolen jewels in 'The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle', cryptic codes in 'The Five Orange Pips' and vanishing grooms in 'A Case of Identity', each case tests Holmes's razor-sharp powers of deduction and shrewd eye for detail. Brimming with wit, suspense and unexpected twists, this classic collection immerses its readers in a shadowy and deceptive, fog-laced London – where even the smallest clue can unlock the darkest of secrets. The full list of stories included in this collection are: A Scandal in Bohemia The Red-Headed League A Case of Identity The Boscombe Valley Mystery The Five Orange Pips The Man with the Twisted Lip The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle The Adventure of the Speckled Band The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet The Adventure of the Copper Beeches Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930) was a Scottish writer and physician. Although he also had an affinity to writing fantasy and science fiction, he is most famous for creating the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. His crime fiction is still widely read, adapted and studied to this day.

Written by the author of the beloved Anne of Green Gables series, The Blue Castle is L. M. Montgomery's sophomore adult novel and a classic tale of romance. By society's standards, twenty-nine year old Valancy Stirling is an old maid. Ostracized by the community and infantilized by her family, Valancy feels complete powerless with her only means of escapism being the poetic nature books of her favorite author, John Foster, and her fantasies of a "Blue Castle." That is until the day that Valancy goes to see a doctor. While he isn't able to diagnose her at the time, she receives a letter just a few days later that rocks the foundation of her life: she has a heart ailment and it's terminal. Oddly comforted by the news, Valancy takes the opportunity to break away from her family and live what little life she has left on her own terms. Finally pursuing her own happiness, Valancy sets out on a journey of self-discovery and begins to build a new home, make new friends, and find a lover who provides a warmth and kindness that she has never felt before.

Polite society has its rules for marriage. But for Ella Quinn's eligible bachelors, their brides will show them that rules are for the weak of heart. . . Phoebe Stanhope is not a typical Lady. As feisty as she is quick witted, no one can catch her, especially when she is driving her dashing phaeton with its perfectly matched horses. And unlike her peers, experience has guarded her against a growing list of would-be suitors. But when she encounters Marcus Finley, what she fears most burns deep within his blue-eyed gaze. . . For Lord Marcus, the spark of recognition is but a moment in the love he has held these many years. Now that he's returned to England, all the happiness he desires rests on Lady Phoebe never finding out that he was the one who turned her heart so cold and distant. He must work fast to gain the advantage—to convince her what she wants is exactly what she denies—but in order to seduce her into his arms, he must be willing to give up more than he can control. . . "A passionate tale full of humor, romance, and poignancy. Quinn writes classic Regency romance at its best!" —Shana Galen, author of If You Give a Rake a Ruby 101,630 Words

Kade is a blue-collar billionaire romance with a slightly unhinged heroine, great family vibes, and all the feels. It's the first in the Brash Brothers series. So maybe I have a bit of a hero complex. And more money than god. Those two things combined make me irresistible to every messed-up woman in the city. Been there, done that, failed to put humpty back together again. I'm done. No more broken, needy women for me. Except God must have a sense of humor, because I find a woman sleeping in a broken down car in front of my garage in the middle of the night. I should send her on her way. Except she's a little unhinged. And sassy. And has thick, biteable thighs. So of course, I give her a job, and a place to stay. I've got a problem, alright. I already told you that. But no way is her sunshine going to draw me in. I'm done with women. Yeah, I don't believe it either. CW: I write about characters from hard places. This book touches on addiction, loss of a parent, cancer, domestic violence. But mostly, this is a book about people learning how to get out of their own way so they can love and be loved.
