Wisani Maluleke is a studying Sociology at Wits, juggling three jobs while caring for her bedridden mother and her younger, allergy-prone brother. Life in Soweto has made her tough, but she’s stretched to breaking point, until her university thesis leads her straight into the
path of the Bafokeng brothers, heirs to the feared and legendary Marashea underworld.

At the heart of this brotherhood is Mohapi Mofokeng: silent, commanding, and dangerous. When Wisani crosses his path, what begins as a desperate attempt to her research pulls her into a world of secrets, blood loyalty, and shadows that never die. Between survival, love, and the weight of her family’s struggles, Wisani must decide whether to walk away, or stand with the brothers who could destroy her or save her.

A story of resilience, a clash between survival and desire. Set in Soweto and Lesotho.

Dis hoe mens weet dat die Here werklik leef: Jy sien sy krag wanneer Hy van mense splinternuwe skepsels maak.

Leah en Schalk leef die voorstedelike droom, hulle is gelukkig getroud, het baie vriende, 'n goeie ondersteuningsnetwerk en alles wat hul hart begeer.

Schalk is Leah se beste vriend en ’n wonderlike pa vir hul twee dogtertjies. Terwyl Schalk meer betrokke raak by die kerk en minder tyd saam met haar en die kinders deurbring, waardeer en aanvaar Barend Lubbe haar net soos sy is. Schalk verander as hy ’n
Bybelstudiegroep begin bywoon. Maar Schalk se lewe begin uitmekaar val: Sy ou vriende vermy hom; hy weet nie hoe om die kloof tussen hom en Leah te oorbrug nie en hy verloor sy inkomste. Uiteindelik ontdek Leah en Schalk om God se leiding van dag tot dag te vertrou en dat Hy hulle nie wil straf nie, maar sy liefde aan hulle wil bewys.

Juanita Aggenbach se vyfde roman is ’n roerende verhaal van tweede kanse, vergifnis en die krag van God se liefde en genade.

Die duiwel is hierdie jaar los by die klooster van die heilige sint William, Beskermheilige van die Metaversum. Dapper de Wet, roosteler, gourmand en deurwinterde loodswaaier, word teen sy sin deur die Departement afgevaardig om vas te stel wat aan die gang is.

Die klooster, geleë in wat eens die vrugbare mieliedriehoek in die Vrystaat was, bied jaarliks ’n Passiespel aan waarop hulle alle hoop vestig vir oorlewing. Maar JC van Schouwenburg, wat die hoofrol vertolk, het onverklaarbaar verdwyn en Dapper is desperaat om hom
op te spoor. Die moederowerste is ontwykend, die personeel onbehulpsaam en Broeder P, die newelagtige leier van die klooster, is ontoeganklik.

Om sy lewe verder te kompliseer moet Dapper boonop chaperone speel vir ’n beeldskone onderwyser wat met ernstige vraagstukke worstel en vir wie hy gevoelens ontwikkel het wat dreig om sy ewewig te laat kantel.

’n Verbeeldingryke, onthutsende roman wat die leser sal wegvoer na ’n ander – dog totaal geloofwaardige! – wêreld.

Christina Applegate came of age on sets and stages, expected to be on time, with lines learned, ready for lights-camera-action. What started as a financial necessity soon became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 70s and 80s. She rocketed to stardom on the sitcom Married...with Children and went on to captivate audiences in classics like Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead…, Anchorman, and Dead to Me in her five-decade long career.
 
Then it all stopped. A Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis in 2021 confined her to a king-sized bed and the company of memories she’d rather forget: memories of the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that stalked her meteoric rise, of her mother’s fight against addiction and abuse after her father left, and of the tax life had taken on her body and mind that was suddenly coming due.
 
Now, at her most intimate and vulnerable, she unveils a story not even those closest to her fully know. She returns to the diaries she kept her whole life, finding the pain matched by joy, the losses mitigated by the extraordinary, and the weight of life lifted by her unrelenting belief that something greater lay ahead. No longer willing to lock herself away and with the perspective only our own mortality can bring, she knew it was imperative to tell it all.
                  
You with the Sad Eyes presents a remarkable woman and her legacy. In her own words, “I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That’s why I’m doing this. You with the Sad Eyes won’t be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humor and grief of life.
 
So here I am.
 
Real me.
 
Lots to say.”

Every day we're bombarded with methods, mantras and life hacks that promise us wellness and prosperity - while time and talent remain some of our most squandered resources. The average full-time worker will spend 80,000 hours at their job: are you making the most of them? Do you truly believe in what you do, day in, day out?

What if you want to do something more with your limited time on the planet?

Internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman shows us that with moral ambition - the will to make the world a wildly better place - we can be both idealistic and successful, and change the world along the way. Uncovering the qualities that made the great change-makers of history so effective, he shows how we too can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to inequality to the next pandemic. With moral ambition, we can do more than be on the right side of history: we can make history itself.

This book won't make your life easier, but it should make it more meaningful. The question is: what will you do with it?

Work is changing for everyone, everywhere. Standing still isn't an option. Ryan Roslansky and Aneesh Raman, CEO and Chief Economic Opportunity Officer at LinkedIn, show you how to take control of this moment with clarity and confidence.

The future of work is not a distant horizon. It is being built right now. While some of us are experimenting and adapting with AI, most of us are feeling anxious and uncertain, navigating rapid change with outdated playbooks. We're relying on old career advice that assumes the tasks you do at work are static, that the skills you learned in school last decades and that success comes from moving up a predictable ladder. That's the old world of work and it's on the way out.

Open To Work offers a new path forward. Backed by real-time insights from over a billion professionals on LinkedIn, it is a clear-eyed view of what's actually changing, what skills you really need, and how to stay ahead at work as AI reshapes every aspect of work.

You'll meet early movers like Neil, who used AI to get better at his job; Jonetta, who used AI to get a new job; and Taj, who used AI to build a business.

You’ll also get expert perspectives across the future of work and careers, helping you discover what will make you competitive in ways no machine can replace. You'll learn how to:

• Assess which parts of your job to delegate to AI, and which to keep for yourself
• Build the core human capabilities that will carry you through any technological shift
• Take action, including with a 30-60-90 day plan

From the internationally bestselling author of How to Do the Work and How to Be the Love You Seek comes a groundbreaking guide to healing our childhood wounds and rediscovering our full potential

As adults, we often fall into patterns that feel irrational or out of character-shutting down, lashing out, people-pleasing, or self-sabotaging. Beneath those reactions lies our inner child, a younger part of us still trying to get its needs met the only way it knows how.

We all carry the imprint of our earliest years. Childhood is brief, yet its impact is lifelong. Some parts of us were met with love while other parts were met with silence, criticism, or disapproval. To survive, we learned to adapt-learning to over perform, to hide, or stay small. Most of us made it through with a mix of love and lack. And many of us still protect the parts of ourselves that once felt unsafe.

While we can't change what happened, we can change how it lives within us and impacts our lives today. Reparenting the Inner Child offers a clear, compassionate path to self-integration, combining practical exercises, somatic tools, and guided reflections to help us create the safety, love, and boundaries we've always needed. Through her holistic framework that models individual development, Dr. LePera explains how we can cultivate the emotional maturity and regulation to respond calmly instead of reacting, to embrace desire instead of shame, and to question the stories we've long believed about who we have to be.

Enlightening, empowering, and clarifying, Reparenting the Inner Child is a book that will stand the test of time as a comprehensive guide for personal development and healing, and a resource that will forever change the way we understand ourselves.

Lieutenant Jack Pembroke’s most dangerous mission yet.

It’s the summer of 1942 and the fate of the Mediterranean hangs in the balance. After evacuating South African troops from Tobruk, Jack and his small escort ship, HMSAS Gannet, join a vital and secret convoy from Egypt to relieve the island of Malta, which is under siege.

Powerful German and Italian forces have been assembled to make sure the ships don’t get through and the course of the war could well be determined by this mission, codenamed Operation Assegai.

However, reaching Malta is just the beginning. Gannet is chosen for a daring raid on an enemy-held island and the crew must join a commando in a lightning strike on a radar facility. It’s a dangerous – but crucial – sortie with the odds heavily stacked against Jack and his men. And while his love affair with the Spanish beauty Alana is taking on troubling overtones, Jack is haunted by flashbacks to the mayhem of Dunkirk.

Two women, torn apart by war. One shared belief in the power of books...

London, 1939. When war breaks out on librarian Joyce Kindred's doorstep and a call for help rings out across the libraries of London, she's determined to act. Joyce knows only the world of books can offer safety and comfort to her neighbourhood - and she will make sure no one is left behind.

Joyce sets up a mobile library scheme, but soon her acts of resistance go beyond sharing books. She shelters a young Jewish refugee, Adela - and it's not long before she discovers Adela has a secret that could turn their world upside down again...

Occupied Poland, 1942. Dorotha knows any chance of her escaping the barbed wire fences and cruelty of the Łódź ghetto dwindles by the day. Reading isn't just an act of defiance: it's the only thing left in her life over which she has any control. And so she shares books under the cover of darkness, creating a secret library away from her captors - that is, until even that last ray of hope is taken from her...

Joyce and Dorotha were once librarians, ordinary women, and best friends. The war has forced them into acts of unimaginable bravery - but will they ever find each other again?

Based on astonishing real events, this absolutely heart-breaking page-turner brings to life the remarkable untold story of two women during WW2. Fans of Anna Stuart, Kristin Hannah and Heather Morris won't be able to stop racing through the pages.

As the emperor lays dying, the once-great Azalea Dynasty plunges towards civil war. While its princes plot for power, a more hidden war - to become the next empress - occupies the imperial court.

Wei Yin - peasant girl turned concubine to the cruel Prince Terren - has already endured unimaginable suffering. Ripped from her family, she has no title, no allies, and no escape. But she does have a secret . . .

In the shadows of the palace, surrounded by enemies, she is learning a skill forbidden to women. Because when words are weapons and poetry holds an ancient magic, the fate of a girl - and a nation - can both be rewritten. All she has to do is compose the perfect poem - a tale so powerful, it can kill any man, even the next emperor.

What's exciting about a piece of bread 4,000 years old? Or some pots of paint abandoned in the eruption at Pompeii? Why should we be bothered with the distant past anyway? What's the point?

The life, art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome have something to offer everyone. They are not the property of wealthy white men only. They make us wonder how to make sense of people who lived long ago (from angry landlords to giggling senators) - and to think harder about our own world, to look at it differently.

In Talking Classics, Mary Beard points to the surprising connections between antiquity and the present. From revolutionaries to dictators, Bob Dylan to Beyoncé, she joins forces with the varied modern characters who have been transfixed by the ancient world. It's not compulsory, she argues, to be excited by antiquity, but it's a shame not to be.

After half a century teaching and studying classics, she fills the book with lively stories, curious facts and some good gossip. Talking Classics explains why the deep past does really affect us all.

John Purkiss, the bestselling author of The Power of Letting Go, sets out the crucial next steps for a transformed life. Discover the Power of Moving On...

What do I want, why don't I have it, and how can I make it happen?

The Power of Moving On takes you on a deeper journey to discover what you truly want - whether it's a romantic relationship, financial freedom or better health - and how to get it. By raising the level of your consciousness, you can move on and create the space to manifest your desires.

In this practical guide, you will learn proven techniques to:

• Identify your true desires
• Remove negative beliefs that are holding you back
• Allow the cosmos to manifest through you
• Turn your desires into reality

These simple, yet powerful, tools will enable you to manifest your desires much more easily - often in ways you never imagined. The Power of Moving On will help you discover a vital truth: when your inner world changes, your outer world is transformed.

Once dismissed as unscientific, psychoanalytic therapy is proving to be among our most effective medical treatments of any kind - outperforming psychiatric drugs and rivalling vaccines in its power to prevent and heal. Why does it work so well?

Perhaps because one of the most controversial figures in psychology was right all along. Neuroscience now confirms much of what Sigmund Freud conjectured over a century ago: our deepest struggles stem, not from chemical imbalances, but from buried memories and unconscious conflicts that no pill can touch.

Using enthralling case studies and cutting-edge brain science, pioneering neuroscientist Mark Solms makes the case that psychoanalysis should resume its position as our master theory of the mind. Yet modern research also reveals where Freud got important things wrong. Could correcting these errors make therapy even more effective?

As psychiatric diagnoses soar and standard treatments continue to fail many patients, The Only Cure offers a revolutionary hope: a real science of healing, rooted in the radical idea that our suffering arises from truths we haven't yet faced.

If you picked up this book because you truly want to get away with murder, you will not be disappointed. Simply turn the page and we’ll get started…

Denver Brady claims to be the most successful serial killer of our time – and that’s precisely why you’ve never heard of him. But with the publication of How to Get Away With Murder, his manual for aspiring serial killers, that’s about to change.

When a copy of Denver's book is found at a crime scene, DI Samantha Hansen is given the job of tracking down the elusive author. As Denver and Sam’s stories unfold and converge, it becomes clear that there’s more to both than meets the eye.

And once Denver’s book goes viral, the pressure to find and bring him to justice brings Sam to breaking point.

But in this dark and twisted tale, who is hunting whom?

A wonderful insight into the faith of C. S. Lewis – the leading writer on Christianity and author of the Narnia books – offering encouragement for everyone struggling with intellectual questions, personal conflicts, or ethical dilemmas.

C. S. Lewis shared his thinking on his faith through his brilliant books, notably Mere Christianity, and his extraordinary number of letters to his friends and the general public. Originally published in three volumes, Letters on Living the Faith recasts selected letters into a brilliant themed guide to Lewis' thoughts.

With chapters On Prayer, Meditations on Love, Spiritual Seekers, Christian Formation, Putting Faith into Practice, Theology & Morality, The Bible, Psychology & Spirituality, Catholicism, His own struggles and on Sorrow & Death, Consolation & Courage, plus insight into his views on Narnia.

This is a fabulous meditation on Faith and its role in C. S. Lewis' life. It reconfirms Lewis as a profound voice for Christianity today.

In 2018, at the end of a speech Rod Dreher gave in Genoa, an artist gave him an engraving by his own hand. In broken English, the artist explained that he was in his studio that afternoon when the Holy Spirit told him that he should come hear Rod Dreher, and give him a particular drawing of an obscure medieval saint. None of this made sense to Dreher until two years later, lost in depression and confusion, the saint - a Tuscan hermit named Galgano - appeared in Dreher's life again under circumstances that did not at all seem coincidental, sending Dreher on a search for God's will for his life.

A lifetime of experiencing mystical events and collecting stories from others has solidified Dreher's Christian faith, and convinced him that God reveals himself to us all the time - but we in the modern West have lost our capacity to sense God's presence. How did this happen to us, but not to other peoples in the world? Can it be reversed? If so, how?

LIVING IN WONDER tells the story of how the West became "disenchanted", and gives practical advice - based on history, cultural anthropology, and neuroscience, as well as the testimonies of monks of the ancient Church - on how to regain one's sense of wonder and awareness of the divine. Told through real-life stories of people who experienced miracles, visitations by saints and angels, and in some cases wrestled with demons, this book will open your mind to the reality that the material world is not all there is, and that God is not as silent and as elusive as you might think. You just need to learn how to see with clear eyes.

Join Rod Dreher as he explores why 'contemporary' Christianity seems so empty, and why so many young people are walking away from it. He argues that the enchanted sacramental vision of the church of the first millennium is still true, only hidden, and that the experience of God is something that can happen to anyone - if they are willing to take the risk.

Prague, 1769. In the Magic Quarter of the jewel-box city of Prague, Thea runs Stiltskin's Apothecary. There, she brews potions to chase away nightmares and soothe heartache - and strikes bargains to change her customers' fates. The only fate she cannot change? Her own.

Seven years ago, Thea bargained away her heart and her memories to the apothecary's owner, the cold, yet enigmatic Jasper, for reasons she cannot remember, and a reward she cannot recall.

Then one day a stranger arrives with an unusual request. One that will upturn Thea's entire existence - and offer her a precious chance to recover her heart . . .

Prepare to be enchanted by this spellbinding historical fantasy romance from the author of Midnight in Everwood, steeped in magic, found family and love.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Strength to Strength, the definitive account of how the modern world makes meaning so hard to find―and a plan to discover your life’s deepest purpose.

If you struggle to discern life’s meaning, you’re not alone. Millions today describe a growing sense of emptiness, a lack of purpose and significance. And there’s a reason: Rapid cultural, economic and technological changes have rewired our brains, reducing their ability to perceive depth and purpose.

In The Meaning of Your Life, social scientist and happiness expert Arthur C. Brooks shows you how to push back against these changes and find the meaning you need to live a happy, fulfilling life. Relying on cutting-edge science, he offers practical, evidence-based strategies for breaking free of the powerful trends and personal habits that dull your focus on the why of your life. Drawing on the great philosophers and the world’s faith traditions, he shows how everyone can―and must―approach life’s most important and mysterious questions and provides a blueprint that will help even the most skeptical person find a life of spiritual transcendence, passionate love, and true calling.

'What is the meaning of my life?' is not an unanswerable question, but rather the start of a pilgrimage into unexplored corners of your consciousness. The Meaning of Your Life is your handbook for this journey.

Need rice-spiration? This book will transform the way you cook rice, from the simply perfect, fluffy bowl of rice to the Ultimate Chicken Biryani, by way of some "cheat" global dishes, including Veggie Bibimbap, Onigiri, Cheesy Arancini Balls, and Lazy Person’s Fried Rice.

Rice is one of the most versatile, affordable, and filling household staples, so don’t leave it lingering at the back of the pantry, just to be used as a side, but showcase it as a wonder ingredient that can be used in one-pan dishes, roasts, salads, curries, stir-fries, breads, sweets, and so much more.

Rene Subash grew up in a South Indian family, where "There’s rice at home" was a much-used phrase, and nearly every meal included rice in at least one shape or form. She has traveled all over the world to discover how rice is prepared in myriad different ways and has consequently created stunningly simple recipes we can cook at home.

This is a single subject cookbook with heart and soul and the ONLY cookbook you need to improve your rice repertoire.

Leading with Wisdom is a vital guide for leaders, creators and seekers asking the defining question of our time: What does it mean to be human?

In an era drowning in information yet starved of wisdom, this book argues that the most powerful technology we possess is not artificial, but human. Leadership coach and entrepreneur Rishad Ahmed exposes the roots of the modern crisis; a ‘meta-crisis’ born from mechanistic thinking, over-reliance on left-brain logic, and outdated leadership models built for speed, control and short-term gain. The result is burnout, disconnection and a planet on the brink of collapse.

Ahmed presents a different path: not smarter machines, but wiser humans. Leading with Wisdom provides a roadmap to reclaim the intelligence of the body, heart and soul – what he calls the forgotten yet most powerful human technology. This book blends philosophy, business and inner development to offer practical guidance for leaders seeking alignment, clarity and regenerative impact.
