So many people need this book HOLLY BOURNEInsightful, wise, compassionateLOUISE ONEILLThis book is your new best friend SOFIE HAGENTruly game-changing. A book we should ALL read LOUISE PENTLANDSocietys message is loud and clear: romantic relationships matter more than friendship. But when we have an average of twenty-nine platonic relationships in our lifetime, compared to just seven-to-ten romantic relationships, why is the conversation on love far greater than friendship? Life coach and broadcaster Michelle Elman is determined to fix this.If the conversation on friendship is quiet, the one on friendship break-ups is non-existent. This is despite research showing that only six friendships stand the test of time, which means that the average person experiences the ending of twenty-three friendships. As someone who has gone through a dozen of them, Michelle began to think she was a Bad Friend.Have one too many friendship break-ups and people start questioning whats wrong with you. But what if you arent the problem? What if the problem is how we think about friendship break-ups?Introducing Bad Friend, a ground-breaking masterclass in friendship that makes space for every conversation you have never been allowed to have. Bad Friend will make you question everything youve been taught about friendships, and removes the stigma from friendship break-ups. This is for you if youve ever been hurt by a friend and, most importantly, reassures you that youre categorically not a bad friend.Its time for a new narrative around platonic love.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERPeople kept asking: Why would you have cats that dont love you back?The morning after Courtney Gustafson moved into an old house in the Poets Square neighbourhood of Tucson, Arizona, she noticed tiny pawprints all over her driveway. They were the first evidence of a colony of feral cats who would, in time, become part of her family and help pierce a personal darkness shed wrestled with for much of her life.Beebs was the first cat to appear, allowing herself to be petted in the driveway. And then came so many others. There was Monkey, the hissing, dark-blotched calico, and Reverse Monkey, her timid, white-blotched opposite. There were Sad Boy and Lola, the inseparable pair who made their way across the internet and into strangers wedding vows. There was the sweet, serene Dr. Big Butt, who brought lessons about grief. And there was Goldie, the tiny king of Poets Square: sick, skinny, but completely unafraid. These cats and many, many others would expand her world spectacularly.Poets Square is a love letter to community in a broken society, told through the cats Courtney meets in dark alleys, neglected homes and her own driveway; cats she cherishes and must sometimes let go. Above all, she explores what her encounters with feral cats can teach us about care, connectedness and the powerof hope.Cats are mystical beings, bridging the spiritual and the tangible. Courtney Gustafsons Poet Square is a book that helps us connect to this spiritual world, offering a bridge to the ethereal Ai WeiweiCourtney Gustafson writes with uncommon grace about the castoff, the abandoned, the invisible. This book should be read and treasured for its ability to make the reader more human and humane Lauren Slater, author of Blue DreamsDeftly intertwined with the individual stories of all these cats is her own story of how she got there She is clear-eyed about the deviation of her life Esther Walker, The Spike

A fascinating and timely exploration of gun culture in the US.All across America, people are taking classes in how to use a gun. But who are these instructors? What are people learning from them? And how does it explain the gun violence thats now playing out on a daily basis?Harel Shapira, a sociologist at the University of Texas, has spent ten years immersed in the world of gun-training. His experience is an astounding deep dive into how Americans train their minds and bodies to use guns.Shapira reveals that, far from simply teaching the mechanics of gun safety, these schools are teaching a way of living in the world that is rooted in racist fears, aggressive masculinity and an entitlement to violence. In storytelling that will take your breath away, we discover that the risk of widespread gun ownership is not simply the possibility of more gun violence and mass shootings. The risk is to the very foundations of democracy itself.

Even sixty kilometers from the city, it was clear something horrific had happened. There was a blinding flash and the window next to Sadako smashed, a shard of glass leaving a painful burn on her neck. Soon, news came that her niece and nephew who lived in Hiroshima were missing. There was only one thing she could do - leave the relative safety of the island and set off into the city to find them.In the seven long days that followed, Sadako roamed the ruins of the city, desperately hoping that she would catch sight of her family and in the meantime coming across dozens of other children who were alone, distraught and in pain. Carrying only water and a little medicine, she did her best to nurse the children and offer what care, compassion and tenderness she could in unimaginable circumstances. And in turn, they helped her to find hope in the very darkest of times.Told simply and powerfully in daily diary entries, The Children of Hiroshima is an extraordinary and deeply moving human story of loss, innocence and hope.
