Now that January is over and a month of trying to do your new year resolutions is out the window, you can now buy some books to treat yourself. It's worth it, trust me!

We've got some exciting books coming out in the next few months! A biography, cookbook and a memoir - a book for everyone!

The Joy of Big Knickers by Kate Garraway

TV and radio presenter Kate Garraway has a lot on her mind. She's about to turn 50, which is fine (she thinks) but suddenly she seems to have MANY questions about EVERYTHING. Is she running out of time? Should she have had children earlier? How will she cope when they leave home? What on Earth is happening to her body? Should she be bungee jumping, skydiving... and all of those other bucket list type things? Is cosmetic surgery the norm now?

And why, oh why, do her knickers keep getting bigger?

Beautifully Real Food by Sam Murphy

Vegan chef Sam Murphy (@sobeautifullyreal) shares her vegan creations in new cookbook So Beautifully Real. All of the recipes are inventive and tasty twists on classic hearty meals. They are simple to prepare and much better for you than the dirty originals. With over 100 recipes, the book will take you through the day from breakfast to dinner. It includes recipes for banoffee pie porridge parfait, chickpea and apricot salad, beet and blackbean burger, macaroni and cheese, peanut nutter jelly slice and much more, using only vegan ingredients that allow you to enjoy a healthy, nutritious, balanced diet while eating the food you really want.

The Hospital by Barbara O'Hare

Barbara O'Hare was admitted to Aston Hall psychiatric hospital when she was 12- years-old. She hoped to find sanctuary there, but instead was subjected to relentless sexual and physical abuse by Dr Milner, its head physician. Forty six years on, in an attempt to come to terms with her past, Barbara is now spearheading a campaign through private Facebook group ‘Survivors of Aston Hall’, to bring victims together in their search for answers of how this came to pass and was kept secret for so long. Their efforts have led to a major police investigation and a meeting at the Houses of Parliament to have their story heard.

Don't they all sound amazing?

You don't need to say it, we know you'll be pre-ordering the books right away! ;)

Goodbye 2016, Hello 2017!

Happy New Year folks!

Is there a stop date where Happy New Year starts to become unacceptable? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We've yet to crack this but for now 16th of Jan is perfectly acceptable in our books!

We've had such an unbelievable 2016 that we've rolled into 2017 with our head high and chin up!

We've published four incredible books so far and I'm here to tell you more about them...

In My Baby & Me, Sam invites her fans, fellow mums or mums-to-be on an unforgettable journey through motherhood. She opens up about what being a mum is really like - from those treasured first cuddles and baby's first smile to dealing with dirty nappies while trying to get your body back into shape and juggling work. It will also include recipes and exercises for busy mums on the go to stay trim and feel great when breastfeeding and beyond. Written in her no-nonsense, down-to-earth way, the book reveals that while having a baby is the best thing that has ever happened to her, caring for something so small is tough and the pressures put upon modern day mums can be even tougher.

In The Secret Life of Fat, biochemist Sylvia Tara sheds a brand-new light on one of the most misunderstood organs of the human body! The Secret Life of Fat weaves together historical, cultural and medical research into one of the must read health books of the year. Acknowledging that we can’t control our fat unless we truly understand it first, this book will show readers how to: adjust diets according to personal traits, understand weight set points, eat for your microbiome, use exercise and fasting intervals to control the burning of fat and use researched mental methods to strengthen resolve and fight hunger.

In Secret Slave, growing up in a deeply troubled family, 15-year-old Anna felt lost and alone in the world. So when a friendly taxi driver called Malik befriended her at the taxi-rank she helped out at, Anna welcomed the attention and before long found herself agreeing to go home with him to meet his family. But what Anna didn't realise as she stepped into the hallway of Malik's home was that she would not leave that house for the next 13 years...

*adds them all to re-read pile*

Happy Reading!
