A Word A Day
$16.99
A Word A DayIt is estimated that on average an English-speaking adult has acquired a functioning vocabulary of 25,000 words by the time they reach middle age. That sounds like a lot – and more than enough for the daily purposes of communicating with each other in speech and writing. However, it is hard to feel quite so sanguine about our word power when considering those 25,000 words account for less than fifteen per cent of the total words in current usage in the English language. Furthermore, new words are created all the time and, as the word pool flourishes, can we afford to allow our vocabulary to stagnate? Logophile Joseph Piercy has the answer: a simple challenge to learn A Word a Day from this user-friendly onomasticon (that’s a word list designed for a specific purpose – in case you were wondering…). Each of the 365 words have been carefully selected for their elegance and pertinence in everyday situations and every entry contains a clear and concise outline of meaning, origin and sample usage in context, alongside fascinating word related facts and trivia. A Word a Day is a treasure trove of fascination and fun for all language lovers – delve in and enhance your vocabulary.

Abyss
$28.99
AbyssThe 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis was the most perilous event in history, when mankind faced a looming nuclear collision between the United States and Soviet Union. During those weeks, the world gazed into the abyss of potential annihilation.Max Hastings’s graphic new history tells the story from the viewpoints of national leaders, Russian officers, Cuban peasants, American pilots, and British disarmers. Max Hastings deploys his accustomed blend of eye-witness interviews, archive documents, and diaries, White House tape recordings, top-down analysis, first to paint word-portraits of the Cold War experiences of Fidel Castro’s Cuba, Nikita Khrushchev’s Russia, and Kennedy’s America; then to describe the nail-biting Thirteen Days in which Armageddon beckoned.Hastings began researching this book believing that he was exploring a past event from twentieth-century history. He is as shocked as are millions of us around the world, to discover that the rape of Ukraine gives this narrative a hitherto unimaginable twenty-first-century immediacy. We may be witnessing the onset of a new Cold War between nuclear-armed superpowers.To contend with today’s threat, which Hastings fears will prove enduring, it is critical to understand how, sixty years ago, the world survived its last glimpse into the abyss. Only by fearing the worst, he argues, can our leaders hope to secure the survival of the planet.

Accessory

AccessoryBehind every criminal man is a young, glamorous woman profiting from his crimes. Or, at least, so the media suggests.Felicia Djamirze is a counsellor, an advocate for women's justice, a three-time Miss Australia winner, and a convicted drug dealer. Growing up surrounded by drug abuse and crime in a rough Sydney neighborhood, she had little hope of escaping the cycle of violence and poverty. So when her looks seemed to offer her a way out, she took it - even if it involved attracting men on the wrong side of the law.Entering this shadowy world, she became both a perpetrator and a victim, an accessory and a rebel. But eventually, the law would catch up with her in a spectacular and violent fashion - and it would make her rethink everything.Written in beautiful prose with seasoned journalist Erin O'Dwyer, Accessory is a bold and searingly honest tale of an extraordinary life.

Accomplice To The Villain
$22.99
Accomplice To the VillainOnce Upon a Time meets The Office in this laugh-out-loud romantasy book based on Hannah Nicole Maehrer's viral TikTok series about the sunshine assistant to an Evil Villain... and their unexpected romance.REWARD OFFERED- Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to "Evie" or "Stop that."Evie Sage didn't mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom's most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised "light paperwork and occasional beheadings," and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss.Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire?or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again...neither was falling for The Villain.Readers can't wait to get their hands on a copy-'I have never been so hyped for a book before''I will be buying this book so quickly even the dragon will be spooked!!''OMG finally!! I can't wait to have it in my hands!''As soon as it is out, I am going to run to buy it!! Cannot wait.''Giggling. Kicking my feet. I can't wait to read this!''I love this series so much, I've been hooked since the beginning. I'm so excited for the book.''I love Evie and the Villain so I NEED it.'
