Hope: My Inspirational Journey

By Tom Parker

Tom Parker had it all. A beautiful wife, a charttopping pop career, a baby on the way... And then one November morning, he passed out, and woke up in hospital. A diagnosis for stage IV brain cancer followed. A diagnosis which did not give him long to live. He defied medical expectations, bravely raising awareness for his disease and sharing his story as he underwent many rounds of treatment. Hope is his story, told his way. From his working class beginnings in Bolton and his rise to charttopping fame with The Wanted to his diagnosis and everything that came afterwards, this inspirational memoir shows how far having faith in hope and daring to dream can carry you.

Marcelo Bielsa: The Foundation of Success at Leeds United

By Salim Lamrani

As Marcelo Bielsa’s interpreter, Salim Lamrani was his right-hand man throughout his first season in charge of Leeds United. As a privileged witness to that remarkable 2018/19 campaign, Lamrani tells the inside story of how the club came within a hair’s breadth of returning to the Premier League before winning promotion in the very next season to end a 16-year exile. Lamrani lays bare the secrets behind Bielsa’s methods, starting with the demands he makes in an intense pre-season, through to the Argentinian tactician’s unwavering loyalty to a highly effective style of play - a style based on possession, collective coverage, rapid transitions, changes of tempo and constant attack. For him, beauty is non-negotiable. Thanks to Bielsa, the players of Leeds United were the actors in an unforgettable epic, which made an indelible mark on millions of supporters.

Everything Is Beautiful

By Eleanor Ray

Just a few keepsakes of happier times: some honeysuckle to remind herself of the boy she loved, a chipped china bird, an old terracotta pot . . . Things that others might throw away, but to Amy, represent a life that could have been. Now her house is overflowing with the objects she loves - soon there’ll be no room for Amy at all. But when a family move in next door, a chance discovery unearths a mystery, and Amy’s carefully curated life begins to unravel. If she can find the courage to face her past, might the future she thought she’d lost still be hers for the taking?

Perfectly Imperfect Puppy

By Graeme Hall

Graeme Hall has been training puppies for years and he’s yet to come across one who behaved perfectly at all times. With this book he really wanted to be realistic about the expectations people should have when training a puppy and demystify the process with clear, simple advice, based on science and experience. He loves working with puppies because there is so much potential to make a lasting difference to a dog’s life and to their owner’s. If you can get it right (or right-ish), you are paving the way for a lifetime of reliably good behaviour.
