ALSO
This extraordinary book has its genesis in a series of concerts first staged in 2004. Over four nights Paul Kelly performed, in alphabetical order, one hundred of his songs from the previous three decades. In between songs he told stories about them, and from those little tales grew ‘How to Make Gravy’, a memoir like no other. The special slipcase edition also includes a CD of the A-Z records, and is back in stock after selling out over Christmas. A must-have for Paul Kelly fans!


NEWSFLASH
Christopher Paolini is expected to release the final installment of his bestselling Inheritance Cycle Series later this year.
Originally intended to be a trilogy, Paolini has stated that during writing, the length of the third book grew, and the book was split into two parts to be published separately.
The release date and title of the final novel are still to be confirmed.



NEWS FROM OUR FAVOURITE AUTHORS
Kim Edwards:
Bestselling author has recently released ‘Lake of Dreams’:
At a crossroads in her life, Lucy Jarrett returns home from Japan, only to find herself haunted by her father's unresolved death a decade ago. Old longings stirred up by Keegan Fall, a local glass artist who was once her passionate first love, lead her into the unexpected. Late one night, as she paces the hallways of her family's rambling lakeside house, she discovers, locked in a window seat, a collection of objects that first appear to be useless curiosities, but soon reveal a deeper and more complex family past. Lucy discovers and explores the traces of her lineage from a heirloom tapestry and dusty political tracts to a web of allusions depicted in stained-glass windows throughout upstate New York-the family story she has always known is shattered. Lucy's quest for the truth reconfigures her family's history, links her to a unique slice of the suffragette movement, and yields dramatic insights that embolden her to live freely.

With surprises at every turn, this is an arresting saga in which every element emerges as a carefully placed piece of the puzzle that's sure to enthrall the millions of readers who loved ‘The Memory Keeper’s Daughter’.
Maggie Stiefvater:
‘Lament’ is written by the author of the hugely popular ‘Linger’ and ‘Shiver’:
Sixteen-year-old Dee is a cloverhand - someone who can see faeries.
So when she finds herself irresistibly drawn to beautiful, mysterious Luke, Dee knows that he wants something more dangerous than a summer romance. But what Dee doesn't realize that Luke is an assassin from the faerie world.
And she is his next target.
Jean M Auel:
Her ‘Earth’s Children’ series sold more than 20 million copies worldwide, and after a ten year wait she is set to release the sixth installment on the 29th of March:
‘The Land of Painted Caves’ concludes the story of Ayla, her mate Jondalar, and their little daughter, Jonayla, taking readers on a journey of discovery and adventure as Ayla struggles to find a balance between her duties as a new mother and her training to become a Zelandoni one of the Ninth Cave community's spiritual leaders and healers.
