The only thing standing in her way is Archie Cohen. Back when they were at university together, he was a stone-faced jock. Now, he's the nation's favourite political journalist—aka her work nemesis—and it seems he'll stop at nothing to take down Millsy's boss with his damning headlines.
In their tangled web of media and politics, Millsy and Archie are used to high stakes and high drama. But when their game of cat-and-mouse starts heating up, there's suddenly more to lose than ever before. Millsy starts to wonder: has she been doctoring the truth for so long she's forgotten what it looks like?

Room 706 by Ellie Levenson
She should be making her way home, working on appearing normal, getting ready to re-enter family life with her loving husband Vic and their two adored children. Instead, she is trapped somewhere she shouldn't be, with a man she definitely doesn't love.
How will she begin to tell Vic what she is doing here? If her body is found, will it give up the secret of what she's been up to? She's been so careful hiding the evidence of her affair: write nothing down, leave no trace. Will he begin to understand why?
For now, Kate can only hide, take a deep breath, and reflect on the series of choices she's made that have brought her to this moment.
What will her marriage and her life look like, if she makes it out?
Fantasy/ Romantasy Book of the Month
The Poet Empress by Shen Tao
As the emperor lays dying, the once-great Azalea Dynasty plunges towards civil war. While its princes plot for power, a more hidden war - to become the next empress - occupies the imperial court.
Wei Yin - peasant girl turned concubine to the cruel Prince Terren - has already endured unimaginable suffering. Ripped from her family, she has no title, no allies, and no escape. But she does have a secret . . .
In the shadows of the palace, surrounded by enemies, she is learning a skill forbidden to women. Because when words are weapons and poetry holds an ancient magic, the fate of a girl - and a nation - can both be rewritten. All she has to do is compose the perfect poem - a tale so powerful, it can kill any man, even the next emperor.
Non-Fiction/Memoir Book of the Month
Finding My Way by Malala Yousafzai
How do you rebuild yourself when your whole world changes overnight?
Thrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now, for the first time ever, Malala takes readers beyond the headlines in Finding My Way - a vulnerable, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humour and tenderness.
Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid, often messy moments like nearly failing exams, getting ghosted and meeting the love of her life, Malala reminds us that real role models aren't perfect - they're human.
In this astonishing memoir, Malala reintroduces herself to the world, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her - while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. Finding My Way is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny - and a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself.

When an ancient evil rises, Magpie is the only one with determination enough to stand in its way, fighting back where others choose to flee.
But how can a single faerie, even with the help of her friends, hope to defeat the impenetrable darkness of the Blackbringer?
