'Full of Hoffman's bewitching and lucid prose and vivid characters,
The Book of Magic is ultimately about the very human magic of
family and love and actions that echo through generations... it
casts a spell' -Matt Haig THE STUNNING, UNFORGETTABLE CONCLUSION TO
THE BELOVED PRACTICAL MAGIC SERIES For centuries, the Owens family
has been cursed in matters of love. When beloved aunt Jet Owens
hears the sound of the deathwatch beetle, she knows that it is a
signal. She has finally discovered the secret to breaking the
curse, but time is running out. She has only seven days to live.
Unaware of the family's witchcraft lineage and all it entails, one
of the young sisters of the new Owens generation has fallen in
love. As the curse strikes once again, her love's fate hangs in the
balance, spurring three generations of Owens to venture back to
where it all began and use their gifts to break the spell that has
marked all their lives. But doing so threatens to destroy
everything the family has fought so hard to protect. How much will
they give up for the greatest gift of all? 'This page-turning
Atlantic-crossing caper is, above all, a paean to family love...
These fast fairytales for grown-ups are full of enchanting comfort
- more escapist than curse' -Sunday Times 'A satisfying tale
springs from a slow beginning, packing in escapist fable,
real-world savvy and incidents galore' -Mail on Sunday
'Delightfully witchy... Alluring on its own, it's also a satisfying
end to a timeless saga' -New York Times Book Review PRAISE for
ALICE HOFFMAN 'Beautiful, harrowing, a major contribution to
twenty-first century literature' Toni Morrison 'I am still reeling
from The Dovekeepers - from the history Alice Hoffman illuminates,
from the language she uses to bring these women to life. This novel
is a testament to the human spirit and to love rising from the
ashes of war. But most of all, this novel is one that will never be
forgotten by a reader.' Jodi Picoult 'In her remarkable new novel,
Alice Hoffman holds a mirror to our ancient past as she explores
the contemporary themes of sexual desire, women's solidarity in the
face of strife, and the magic that's quietly present in our
day-to-day living. Put The Dovekeepers at the pinnacle of Hoffman's
extraordinary body of work. I was blown away.' Wally Lamb 'Alice
Hoffman takes seemingly ordinary lives and lets us see and feel
extraordinary things.' Amy Tan 'Miss Hoffman heals wounds with the
gentle touch of an angel' Joseph Heller 'Oh, what a book this is!
Hoffman's exploration of the world of good and evil, and the
constant contest between them, is unflinching; and the humanity she
brings to us - it is a glorious experience.' Elizabeth Strout
Link must defeat evil at every turn in his perilous quest to help
Princess Zelda! Once upon a time, wizards tried to conquer the
Sacred Realm of Hyrule. The Spirits of Light sealed the wizards'
power within the Shadow Crystal and banished them to the Twilight
Realm beyond the Mirror of Twilight. Now, an evil menace is trying
to find Midna, Princess of the Twilight Realm, and the fragments of
the Shadow Crystal to gain the power to rule over both the Twilight
Realm and the World of Light. Midna tells Link about the time
before she came to the world of Light and how the evil wizard Zant
turned her into her current form. Bitter and angry, Midna only used
other people to get her revenge. Link needs Midna's help now more
than ever, and his forgiveness may give her the strength to
continue the fight. Ahead of them, in the Twilight Realm itself,
lie greater dangers than they have faced before, as well as Midna's
nemesis, the scheming sorcerer Zant.
Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people. He is an office
worker with moderate ambitions and mild manners; she is an
uninspired but dutiful wife. The acceptable flatline of their
marriage is interrupted when Yeong-hye, seeking a more 'plant-like'
existence, decides to become a vegetarian, prompted by grotesque
recurring nightmares. In South Korea, where vegetarianism is almost
unheard-of and societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye's
decision is a shocking act of subversion. Her passive rebellion
manifests in ever more bizarre and frightening forms, leading her
bland husband to self-justified acts of sexual sadism. His
cruelties drive her towards attempted suicide and hospitalisation.
She unknowingly captivates her sister's husband, a video artist.
She becomes the focus of his increasingly erotic and unhinged
artworks, while spiralling further and further into her fantasies
of abandoning her fleshly prison and becoming - impossibly,
ecstatically - a tree. Fraught, disturbing and beautiful, The
Vegetarian is a novel about modern day South Korea, but also a
novel about shame, desire and our faltering attempts to understand
others, from one imprisoned body to another.
Age range 13 to 18 A brand new contemporary fantasy world from the
New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlands series, Susan
Dennard. Hemlock Falls isn't like other towns. It's not on a map,
cell phones don't work there, and you might find a ghost-deer
grazing at midnight. It's also inhabited by the Luminaries, an
ancient order charged with guarding the nearby forest. Each night,
when nightmares rise, only the Luminaries stand between humanity
and these monsters bent on devastation - one clan for each night of
the week. Fourteen orders around the globe. Winnie (of the
Wednesday clan) desperately wants to reclaim her family's standing
within the Luminaries. In the four years since her dad was caught
as a witch, her family has lived as outcasts. Winnie's solution?
Pass the hunter trials. Then her family will be welcomed in again.
During the first trial, however, Winnie is severely outmatched by
the forest's nightmares. So when a new, unknown monster slaughters
a banshee and everyone assumes Winnie did the slaughtering, she
doesn't correct them. Realising she will never survive the final
two trials, Winnie seeks help from her gorgeous exfriend, Jay
Friday, who is no longer a baby-faced boy but the best hunter in
Hemlock Falls. As Winnie's lies start to pile up around her and
bodies start to pile up from the new nightmare, she must protect
Hemlock Falls, protect her family's new status, and protect her
heart from a former friend with brutal secrets of his own.

fans of Adrienne Young and Leigh Bardugo. I used to look at my
hands with pride. Now all I can think is, These are the hands that
buried my mother. For Ning, the only thing worse than losing her
mother is knowing that it's her own fault. She was the one who
unknowingly brewed the poison tea that killed her the poison tea
that now threatens to also take her sister, Shu. When Ning hears of
a competition to find the kingdom's greatest shennong-shi--masters
of the ancient and magical art of tea-making--she travels to the
imperial city to compete. The winner will receive a favor from the
princess, which may be Ning's only chance to save her sister's
life. But between the backstabbing competitors, bloody court
politics, and a mysterious (and handsome) boy with a shocking
secret, Ning might actually be the one in more danger.
