  'A pitch-perfect send-up' Evening Standard
  
  Unless you're a woman on Tinder between the ages of 19 and 30 in the Clapham area, or a high-end cocaine dealer operating in South West London, you probably won't have heard of Rafe Hubris, BA (Oxon).
  
  Despite that, he's a crucial figure in the life of our nation. As Boris Johnson's most classic special adviser (spad) at Number 10, he helped the UK government skilfully and efficiently control the Covid crisis, containing it for good by the end of 2020.
  
  In the first of what will doubtless be many memoirs as Rafe travels his own inevitable journey to the premiership, this fly-on-the-wall account documents his Year of 'Rona in its entirety (and iniquity).
  
  Even non-Oxbridge readers (for whom the author has taken care to keep his language as accessible as possible) will come away from this volume struck by how lucky we are to have him. Floreat Etona!*
  
  *Note for non-Oxbridge readers: this means 'May Eton flourish' in Latin.**
  
  **Latin is the language of Ancient Rome and its empire.

  Ever Indigo Nikita Stein is quite sure she doesn't belong at the School for Gifted Children of Genius Parents where she's mockingly called "Einstein" by her classmates. After all, her parents disappeared nine years ago and are missing and presumed dead and she has no idea if they were geniuses. She's been leading a lonely life under the care of the Doc, the kind but reclusive inventor of invisible ice cream, where her only friend is a badly-programmed robot fridge with anger issues. Things get worse for Ever when a crow delivers a cryptic message from the future and the Doc, fearing for his life, vanishes through a forbidden door. It turns out that scientists and inventors around the world are under threat - one has met with a terrible fate and another has been kidnapped. Ever must seek the help of an unlikely pair of detectives, Harry Snowize, a former spy, and Snitch, a clever and dignified rat. As the trio embark on a wild adventure across the globe to solve a mystery and save the inventors, Ever comes to realize that perhaps she’s not so inadequate after all.

  I Think Therefore I’m Wrong -...

  I Think, Therefore I’m Wrong: Descartes and the Birth of Overconfidence is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally honest, and deeply unhinged guide to the man who launched modern philosophy with one anxious thought spiral and never looked back. 
  René Descartes: French, wealthy, suspicious of everything, and armed with just enough Latin to convince the world that his personal identity crisis was actually a groundbreaking intellectual framework. From doubting the entire universe to claiming God exists because the idea of God felt right, Descartes pioneered a system so elegantly flawed it haunted philosophers for centuries—and now you get to enjoy the wreckage. 
  In this book, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, Leibniz’s Monads) takes you on a laugh-out-loud demolition tour of: 
  The Four-Step Method of Doubt, also known as gaslighting the cosmos 
  The Cogito, or how to accidentally make thinking sound smug 
  God as epistemological tech support 
  Mind-body dualism, or “what if you’re just a haunted skeleton?” 
  Descartes’ legacy in science, psychology, AI, and every freshman who says “I'm not my body, bro.” 
  Whether you’re a philosophy student, a recovering Cartesian, or just here to watch the metaphysical world burn, this book explains Descartes’ ideas the way they were always meant to be understood: with sarcasm, side-eye, and a glass of wine. 
  I think, therefore I spiral. Let’s go

  Someone was murdered, and everyone's dirty laundry is on display. 
  When a gossip reporter is found dead in her office, Retired Military Police Cynthia Sharp is excited to kick back and read the headlines with the rest of the town. Except, the rest of the town had reason to murder her and they all want Cyn and her K-9 partner, Sgt. Winnie to prove it wasn't them. 
  Proof that's hard to come by when box after box shows that the reporter made her income doing more than writing. Scandals, sex and a secret scheme will challenge Cyn to find a murderer, without getting murdered herself.

  Joel Foster is a hapless twenty-something. His girlfriend, Beth Lewis, would likely have been a hapless twenty-something, too, had she not been obliterated by a very large cement truck. Some time after Beth's tragic death, Joel is still trying to juggle grief with the world of modern dating. And while he still feels like a widower, he has to find a new love before three years is up.
  The catch? Just as Joel thinks he's finally falling for someone, he starts getting haunted by Beth.
  It's not a ghost story, it's a love story. With ghosts.
