'Beth O'Leary is that rare, one-in-a-million talent who can make
you laugh, swoon, cry and ache all in the same book' Emily Henry
Two sworn enemies. One failing hotel. Love is the last thing they
need . . . It's the busiest time of the year, and Forest Manor
Hotel is quite literally falling apart. So when sworn enemies Izzy
and Lucas are given the same shift on the hotel's front desk, they
have no choice but to put their differences aside. The hotel won't
stay afloat without some sort of miracle. But when Izzy returns a
guest's lost wedding ring, the reward convinces management this
might fix everything. With four rings still sitting in lost
property, the race is on for Izzy and Lucas to save their beloved
hotel - and their jobs. As their bitter rivalry turns into
something much more complicated, Izzy and Lucas begin to wonder if
there's more at stake here than the hotel's future. Can the two of
them make it through the season with their hearts intact?

"An insightful, riveting study of marriage." --People From the
bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes, a masterful and "absorbing"
(The New York Times) novel about a couple in a small town
navigating the complexities of marriage, family, and longing.
Malcolm Gephardt, handsome and gregarious longtime bartender at the
Half Moon, has always dreamed of owning a bar. When his boss
finally retires, Malcolm stretches to buy the place. He sees
unquantifiable magic and potential in the Half Moon and hopes to
transform it into a bigger success, but struggles to stay afloat.
His smart and confident wife, Jess, has devoted herself to her law
career. After years of trying for a baby, she is facing the idea
that motherhood may not be in the cards for her. Like Malcolm, she
feels her youth beginning to slip away and wonders how to reshape
her future. "A quick and impactful read that will stay with you
long after you finish it" (theSkimm), The Half Moon takes place
over the course of one week when Malcolm learns shocking news about
Jess, a patron of the bar goes missing, and a blizzard hits the
town of Gillam, trapping everyone in place. With a deft eye and
generous spirit, Mary Beth Keane explores the disappointments and
unexpected consolations of midlife, the many forms forgiveness can
take, the complicated intimacy of small-town living, and what it
means to be a family.

as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan

cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.
From the award-winning author of The Shelterlings and The Lake
House comes a haunting novel about sisterhood and grief, where
difficult truths must contend with the corrosive power of unchecked
lies. After her mother dies, Hannah doesn’t know how to exist
without her. Literally. In fact, Hannah’s not even certain that
she does exist. No one seems to see or hear her, and she finds
herself utterly alone. Grief-stricken and confused, her sense of
self slowly slipping away, Hannah sets out to find new purpose in
life—and answers about who (and what) she really is. Hannah’s
only remaining family is her older sister, Leah. Yet even Leah
doesn’t seem to notice her. And while Hannah can see and hear her
sister, she also sees beautiful and terrible things that
don’t—or shouldn’t—exist. She learns there’s much more to
this world than meets the eye and struggles to make sense of it
all. When Hannah sees Leah taking the same dangerous path that
consumed their own mother—where lies supplant reality—she’s
desperate to get through to her. But facing difficult truths is
harder than it looks…

Spell Songs is a musical companion piece to The Lost Words: A Spell
Book by author Robert Macfarlane and artist Jackie Morris. This
mixed media CD is accompanied by sumptuous illustrations from
Jackie Morris, new 'spells' by Robert Macfarlane, enlightening
thoughts by Robert, Jackie and Spell Singer Karine Polwart and
stunning photography by Elly Lucas. In 2018 Folk by the Oak
Festival commissioned Spell Songs because of their love of The Lost
Words book. Spell Songs comprises eight remarkable musicians whose
music engages deeply with landscape and nature; musicians who are
perfectly placed to respond to the creatures, art and language of
The Lost Words. They spent a week in Herefordshire bringing this
music together in the company of Jackie Morris. Art inspired music
and music inspired art. Jackie Morris immersed herself in the
musical residency where she generously created new iconesque
artwork of each musician and their instruments portrayed in an
unexpected and enchanting way. These stunning new artworks
accompany the CD. Spell Songs allowed these acclaimed and diverse
musicians to weave together elements of British folk music,
Senegalese folk traditions, and experimental and classical music to
create an inspiring new body of work. Here are 14 songs which
capture the essence of The Lost Words book. Spoken voice, whispers,
accents, dialects, native languages, proverbs, sayings, birdsong,
river chatter and insect hum all increase the intimacy of the
musical world conjured by the songs. Inspired by the words, art and
ethos of The Lost Words book, each musician brings new imaginings,
embellishments and diversions which are rooted in personal
experience, a deep respect for the natural world, protest at the
loss of nature and its language and an appreciation for wildness
and beauty. In February 2019 Spell Songs enjoyed standing ovations
at sell-out performances in major venues across the UK culminating
at The Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre, London. Spell
Songs was a highlight of The Hay International Literary Festival
2019 and in August 2019 they were invited to perform at the BBC's
Lost Words Prom in the Royal Albert Hall. They will continue to
tour each year. "There are songs here that would live with me for
the rest of my years, even if I'd had no part in their making".

in a park packed with pointy things. From Walter S. Lide - the
ruthless park owner - to Claws and Paws, the park's stray cats,
everyone is out to burst their bubble. With each day bringing a
fresh wave of drama, life with the inflatables is always guaranteed
