Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter – Heather Fawcett
“Agnes Aubert leads a meticulously organized life—and she likes it that way. As the proudly type-A manager of a much-needed cat rescue charity, she has devoted her life to finding forever homes for lost cats. But after she is forced to move the cat shelter, Agnes learns that her new landlord is using her charity as a front—for an internationally renowned and thoroughly disreputable magic shop.”

Annihilation – Jeff VanderMeer
“In this first volume of Jeff VanderMeer’s now-classic Southern Reach series, Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades and nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilisation. Expedition after expedition into Area X has failed to uncover its mysteries and the true nature of its danger to the world. A harrowing cosmic mystery at the vanguard of eco-fiction, Annihilation has only become more pertinent to our reality ten years after its first publication.”

Between Two Fires – Christopher Buehlman
“The year is 1348. Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village. An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm — that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict.”

DO/LOSS A New Way to Move Through Change – Sue Deagle
“If you’re reading this, chances are that you – or someone you know – has lost something. Not your keys or umbrella. Something more. A job. A marriage or a relationship. A child leaving home. Your health or identity. Some losses we anticipate, others completely blindside us. Sue Deagle’s loss was sudden and life-changing. With no roadmap, she turned to philosophers, scientists, even the military for guidance. Now, she shares her unique approach and provides the tools, strategies, and mindset to help you move forward.”
Hooked – Asako Yuzuki, translated by Polly Barton
“Eriko’s life appears perfect – devoted parents, spotless apartment and a job in the seafood division of one of Japan’s largest trading companies. Her latest project, to reintroduce the controversial Nile perch fish into the Japanese market, is characteristically ambitious. But beneath her flawless surface she is wracked by loneliness.
The unmissable new novel of friendship and dangerous obsession from Asako Yuzuki, the award-winning author of the global bestselling sensation Butter.”
