At an elite private school nestled in the Colorado mountains, a tangled web of lies draws together three vastly different women. Natalie, a young office assistant, dreams of having a life like the school moms she deals with every day. Women like Brooke-a gorgeous heiress, ferociously loving mother and serial cheater-and Asha, an overachieving and overprotective mom who suspects her husband of having an affair.
Their fates are bound by their relationships with the handsome, charming assistant athletic director Nicholas, who Natalie loves, Brooke wants and Asha needs. But when two bodies are carried out of the school early one morning, it seems the jealousy between mothers and daughters, rival lovers and the haves and have-nots has shattered the surface of this isolated, affluent town-a town where people will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Set in a world of vast ranches, chalet-style apartments and mountain mansions, The Lying Club is a juicy thriller of revenge, murder and a shocking conspiracy-one in which the victims aren't who you might think.

“Pappa!” roep Johannes. “Pappa, kyk net!”. “Stil!” roep meneer
Blom. “Ek kry nie gewerk nie!”. “Maar jy moet kyk, Pappa,” se Nella
Della. Sy hou haar hand ’n bietjie stywer om die mannetjie sodat hy
nie kan ontsnap nie. Meneer Blom kyk. “Wat is dit?” vra hy effens
knorrig, asof hy vies is dat hulle hom oor so ’n kleinigheid pla.
“Is dit ’n kabouter? Kabouters bestaan nie. Dit is dus onmoontlik.
Los my nou dat ek kan werk.” ’n Kabouter is dit nie, maar ’n
wiplala met die naam Wiplala. En Wiplala kan toor, of soos hy dit
noem ‘tinkel’. Die enigste probleem is dat Wiplala dit soms regkry
om te tinkel en soms nie. Wanneer hy die Blom-gesin net so klein
maak soos hy, is dit die begin van ’n opwindende avontuur. Die
Bloms wonder egter of hulle ooit weer normale mense sal word!.
Wiplala verskyn oorspronklik in 1957 in Nederlands. Dit is uit die
pen van die bekende Nederlandse kinderboekskrywer Annie M.G.
Schmidt. Die boek word in verskeie tale vertaal (onder meer Duits,
Fins, Engels en selfs Japannees). In 2014 verskyn daar ook ’n film
wat gebaseer is op die boek.

Annie M.G. Schmidt se verhaaltjies oor Jip en Janneke het
oorspronklik in die 1950’s in die Nederlandse koerant Het Parool
verskyn, in kombinasie met Fiep Westendorp se ikoniese swart en wit
illustrasies. Met verloop van tyd het die twee karaktertjies se
avonture sinoniem geword met die Nederlandse lewenswyse en word Jip
en Janneke vandag as een van Nederland se mees geliefde
uitvoerprodukte beskou. Jip en Janneke is beste maats. Hulle woon
langs mekaar en speel elke dag van vroeg tot laat. Saam-saam het
Jip en Janneke die wonderlikste avonture. Hulle speel skool-skool,
verken die solder, spring in reenplasse en hou 'n kompetisie om te
sien wie die meeste pannekoeke kan eet. Hulle word selfs die
eienaars van die oulikste brakkie met die naam Takkie! Partykeer is
hulle lekker stout – soos wanneer hulle prentjies uit Pappa se
boeke knip – en partykeer kan hulle lekker baklei. Maar oor een
ding stem hulle saam: Met 'n maatjie aan die ander kant van die
heining kan die lewe nooit vervelig wees nie!

personal decision goes public, Tess faces daily harassment and

what's happened, she learns to find her voice again. Against the

Considered by many to be the iconic French memoirist's defining
work, The Years is a narrative of the period 1941 to 2006 told
through the lens of memory, impressions past and present, cultural
habits, language, photos, books, songs, radio, television,
advertising and news headlines. Annie Ernaux invents a form that is
subjective and impersonal, private and communal, and a new genre -
the collective autobiography - in order to capture the passing of
time. At the confluence of autofiction and sociology, The Years is
'a Remembrance of Things Past for our age of media domination and
consumerism' (New York Times), a monumental account of
twentieth-century French history as refracted through the life of
one woman.
As the pressures of rationing, bombing raids and sleepless nights
grow, two sisters must decide what they really want from life –
and if they're brave enough to fight for it. Meet Me Under the
Clock is a beautiful wartime story from Annie Murray. Growing up in
Birmingham, Sylvia and Audrey Whitehouse have always been like
chalk and cheese. When the Second World War breaks out, Sylvia is
still dreaming of her forthcoming marriage to fiancé Ian – while
Audrey jumps at the career opportunities the Women's Auxiliary Air
Force (WAAF) throws her way. Audrey joins the ranks at RAF
Cardington but soon finds that her new freedom also brings
temptation. When she goes too far, the consequences ripple through
the Whitehouse family. Meanwhile, Sylvia is doing her bit as a
railway porter, much to her fiancé’s dismay. He thinks the job
is unfeminine - unlike Sylvia's new friend Kitty, who is as sweet
and pretty as can be. But Kitty's innocent nature hides a dark
secret . . . A heartbreaking yet inspiring wartime set novel,
perfect for fans of Katie Flynn.

For readers of Meghan O'Rourke's The Invisible Kingdom, Esme Weijun
Wang's The Collected Schizophrenias, and Melissa Febos's Girlhood,
a powerful and deeply personal memoir in essays that sheds light on
the silent epidemic of head trauma. Annie Liontas suffered multiple
concussions in her thirties. In Sex with a Brain Injury, she writes
about what it means to be one of the "walking wounded," facing her
fear, her rage, her physical suffering, and the effects of head
trauma on her marriage and other relationships. Forced to reckon
with her own queer mother's battle with addiction, Liontas finds
echoes in their pain. Liontas weaves history, philosophy, and
personal accounts to interrogate and expand representations of
mental health, ability, and disability--particularly in relation to
women and the LGBT community. She uncovers the surprising legacy of
brain injury, examining its role in culture, the criminal justice
system, and through historical figures like Henry VIII and Harriet
Tubman. Encountering Liontas's sharp, affecting prose, the reader
can imagine this kind of pain, and having to claw one's way back to
a new normal. The hidden gift of injury, Liontas writes, is the
ability to connect with others. For the millions of people who have
suffered from concussions and for those who have endeavored to
support loved ones through the painful and often baffling
experience of head trauma, this astonishing and compassionate
narrative offers insight and hope in equal measure.
