The Atlas paradox, by Olivie Blake
Six magicians were offered the opportunity of a lifetime. Five are now members of the Society. And two paths lie before them.
In this thrilling next instalment, the secret society of Alexandrians is unmasked. Its newest recruits realize the institute is capable of raw, world-changing power. It’s also headed by a man with plans to change life as we know it – and these are already under way. But the cost of this knowledge is as high as the price of power, and each initiate must choose which faction to follow. Yet as events gather momentum and dangers multiply, which of their alliances will hold? Can friendships hold true and are enemies quite what they seem?
We know you remember, by Tove Alsterdal
The case was closed. The records were sealed. But they haven't forgotten.
Detective Eira Sjödin is just old enough to remember the summer when 16-year-old Lina Stavred went missing. Her entire community was haunted by the disappearance - especially when Olof Hagström, just 14 himself, confessed to her murder.
That was two decades ago. No one in their small rural community has seen or heard from him since, but the spectre of his crime lingers in the forests around the town.
But now Olof is back, and he stands accused of another brutal crime. Eira will have to untangle years of well-kept secrets to get to the truth... because in Ådalen, where Eira knows everyone, nothing is what it seems.

Parenting hell, by Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe
What's it really like to be a parent? And how come no one ever warned Rob or Josh of the sheer mind-bending, world-altering, sleep-depriving, sick-covering, tear-inducing, snot-wiping, bore-inspiring, 4am-relationship-straining brutality of it all? And if they did, why can't they remember it (or remember anything else, for that matter)?
And just when they thought it couldn't get any harder, why didn't anyone warn them about the slices of unmatched euphoric joy and pride that occasionally come piercing through, drenching you in unbridled happiness in much the same way a badly burped baby drenches you in milk-sick?
Join Josh and Rob as they share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs. Filled with all the things they never tell you at antenatal classes, Parenting Hell is a beguiling mixture of humour, rumination and conversation for prospective parents, new parents, old parents and never-to-be parents alike.
