Food and memory are inextricably linked; flavours and dishes evoke
emotion, rooted in nostalgia or specific experiences. The Hungry Table
embodies this idea. For Fatima Saib, food exists as a backdrop to her
childhood memories, intertwined with her precious relationship with her
late father. Derived from this culinary inspiration, the book expertly
weaves story and memory through a journey of over 90 contemporary
recipes, most with a nod to the author’s South African-Indian heritage.
With this in mind, the book is divided into five chapters, each one
tapping into a feeling. The Basics offers an array of chutneys, sauces,
pickles and flavour-enhancers to round off any dish. Togetherness is an
ode to food that is best shared among friends and family, like hot
honey fried chicken and fragrantly layered biryanis. Comfort covers
those recipes that warm the body and soul from the inside out, like
dhal and rasmalai. From Fast, expect deliciously quick-and-easy dishes
like chilli crunch toasted cheese or yoghurt and cardamom potato curry.
And for those slower days, when time is best used to explore and enjoy,
look to Relaxed, for dishes like parathas, sticky BBQ lamb ribs or
creamy cabbage and corn bake.
The Hungry Table ignites the senses, telling a story of time and place,
reminding readers to slow down and enjoy food and the way it makes us
feel. It is an invitation into the kitchen, to enjoy the catharsis of
cooking and the dishes that result, and, perhaps most importantly, to
be nourished by the memories created in the process.

Reacher had no idea where he was. No idea how he had got there. But
someone must have brought him. And shackled him. And whoever had done
those things was going to rue the day. That was for damn sure.
Jack Reacher wakes up, alone, in the dark, handcuffed to a makeshift
bed. His right arm has suffered some major damage. His few possessions
are gone. He has no memory of getting there.
The last thing Reacher can recall is the car he hitched a ride in
getting run off the road. The driver was killed.
His captors assume Reacher was the driver's accomplice and patch up his
wounds as they plan to make him talk.
A plan that will backfire spectacularly . . .

Benny Griessel and Vaughn Cupido are languishing in Stellenbosch.
Run-of-the-mill police work in the leafy university town is a far cry
from their previous life in the elite HAWKS. But when a student is
found dead on a mountain trail, the two detectives find themselves
trying to unpick a stubbornly difficult mystery.
In the north of the country, meanwhile, a beautiful wildlife guide is
recruited by a group of special forces soldiers to act as a honeytrap,
part a dangerous multi-million-dollar heist that goes tragically wrong.
Then back in Stellenbosch, a local businessman is found murdered in
what looks like a professional hit - suffocated by fast-action filler
foam sprayed down his throat. A message to keep silent - but about what?
You need a cool head to unravel it all, because sadly, the thieves and
criminals are as likely to be in government - or even the police - as
on the streets. You need to stay calm, focused - and sober. Benny may
be sober these days, but he's not feeling calm. Solving
this puzzle is turning into a deadly race against time and there's
another date that's coming towards him like an express train. Alexa has
fixed the date for their wedding. Big trouble, on every front.
World Champions (2nd edition) continues the story of South African rugby in a new chapter that includes coverage of the momentous 2023 Rugby World Cup win by South Africa’s Springboks.
South Africa won the 2023 Rugby World Cup by defeating New Zealand 12-11 in front of more than 80 000 spectators at the Stade de France.

Further additions to this 2nd edition include a revised Introduction, expanded Index, updates to the history of South Africa’s first steps toward playing international rugby in the late nineteenth century, as well as additional content about, inter alia institutions such as the national governing bodies, and the winning teams in 1995, 2007, 2019 and 2023.
In this way, the 2nd edition continues to provide both the most-relevant and most-current history of South African rugby and the many organisations and individuals that have contributed to its evolution.

Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem
to have little in common.
Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties – successful, competent and
apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father’s death, he’s
medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships
with two very different women – his enduring first love Sylvia, and
Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke.
Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always
seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib
elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets
Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and
their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.
For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new
interlude – a period of desire, despair and possibility – a chance to
find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking
Funny, feelgood, heartlifting story about the power of

When Bella learns that Eddie is yet to have his first kiss, she
resolves to help him finally find love, sparking an adventure that will
take them to unexpected places and, they hope, bring Eddie to the
moment he has waited for all his life.
As Bella helps Eddie and Eddie helps, well, everyone, a soul-stirring
story of friendship and kindness unfolds as we see how those we love
are never forgotten and it is never too late to try again.

Two years ago, Martha didn't know that Alan existed. Now, they're married - it was easy to say yes to someone so sweet.
But when Martha thinks she sees Alan's mask slip, she starts to fear that the conferences he travels the country to attend might be a cover for something far more sinister.
As her research unearths a string of dead women, she enlists the help of Lily Kintner, an old friend from grad school. What Martha doesn't know is that Lily has a dark side of her own . . .
A bold, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartwarming story about one young woman's attempt to navigate adulthood, new motherhood, and her meager bank account in our increasingly online world--from the PEN/Faulkner finalist and critically acclaimed author of The Knockout Queen.
As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, Margo Millet's always known she'd have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can't imagine how she'll ever make a living. She's still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor--and while the affair is brief, it isn't brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone's advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naivet� and a yearning for something bigger.
Now, at twenty, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. She needs a cash infusion--fast. When her estranged father, Jinx, shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Then Margo begins to form a plan: she'll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx's advice from the world of wrestling. Like how to craft a compelling character and make your audience fall in love with you. Before she knows it, she's turned it into a runaway success. Could this be the answer to all of Margo's problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price?
Blisteringly funny and filled with sharp insight, Margo's Got Money Troubles is a tender tale starring an endearing young heroine who's struggling to wrest money and power from a world that has little interest in giving it to her. It's a playful and honest examination of the art of storytelling and controlling your own narrative, and an empowering portrait of coming into your own, both online and off.
The revolutionary new offering from Jordan B. Peterson, renowned
psychologist and author of the global bestseller 12 Rules for Life
In We Who Wrestle with God, Jordan Peterson guides us through the
ancient, foundational stories of the Western world, analyzing the
Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering and triumph that
stabilize, inspire and unite us, culturally and psychologically. Adam
and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately
murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah, the
spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible
adventure, and the epic of Moses and the Israelites: What could such
stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them, over the
long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together,
and point us in the same direction?
It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and
spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our
societies – to see ourselves and others as if for the first time.
Join Elijah as he discovers the Voice of God in the dictates of his own
conscience, and Jonah, confronting hell itself, in the belly of the
whale, because he failed to listen and act. Set yourself straight in
intent, aim and purpose, as you begin to more deeply understand the
structure of your society and your soul. Journey with Jordan Peterson
through the greatest stories ever told.
Dare to wrestle with God.

overcommit herself, she can’t help but offer to help Henry pass his
class. In turn he offers to help make college life a little more
inspiring – just the thing she needs as an aspiring novelist…
Failure isn’t an option for either of them but that doesn’t mean there

From million-copy bestselling author David Walliams comes his first
ever murder mystery – with thrills, spills and laughs galore.
Dilly loved a good murder. Not a REAL murder. A made-up murder. One you
would find in a murder mystery novel.
Sherlock Holmes was her favourite detective, so much so that she had
named her dog Watson after his faithful companion. Dilly had trained
her Watson to sniff out clues and follow scent trails. Something he
would happily do for a dog biscuit. Or two.
So far, Dilly and Watson hadn’t had much luck cracking cases – beyond
lost cats, or missing biscuits that turned out to have been eaten all
along. But now the detective duo found themselves on a luxury ocean
liner bound for London. A thousand passengers. A thousand nautical
miles of ocean around them. It was the perfect place for a murder…
Or two. Or three. Or four. Or MORE!
The thrilling sequel to the instant Sunday Times bestseller and number one global phenomenon, Fourth Wing!
She survived her first year at Basgiath War College . . . but the danger is only beginning.
Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College, Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.
Now the real training begins, and Violet's already wondering how she'll get through. It's not just that it's grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it's designed to stretch the riders' capacity for pain beyond endurance. It's the new vice commandant, who's made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is - unless she betrays the man she loves.
Although Violet's body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else's, she still has her wits, and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.
But a determination to survive won't be enough this year.
Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College - and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.

From the much-loved bestselling author of The Notebook comes a
brand-new emotional and powerful novel about the journeys we take and
those who touch our hearts along the way.
Summoned to an unnerving, abandoned theme park to retrieve a body, Dr
Kay Scarpetta is devastated to learn that the victim is a man she once
loved. While teaching in Rome during the early days of her career,
Scarpetta had a love affair with acclaimed astrophysicist Sal Giordano
that led to a lifelong friendship.
The murder scene is bizarre, with a crop circle of petals around the
body, and Giordano's skin is strangely red. Scarpetta's niece Lucy
believes he was dropped from an unidentified flying craft. Scarpetta
knows an autopsy can reveal the dead's secrets, but she is shocked to
find her friend seems to have deliberately left her a clue.
As the investigators are torn between suspicions of otherworldly
forces, and of Giordano himself, Scarpetta detects an explanation
closer to home that, in her mind, is far more evil . . .
