If you have an embarrassing child who bursts into friends' houses announcing 'It stinks in here' or shouts 'why is that man so fat?' on the bus (and not a spooky child who replaces felt-tip lids and enjoys dusting) then this book is for you. Self-confessed imperfect mum Fiona Gibson blends her own hilarious tales of raising three children with anecdotes and nuggets of advice from 300 fellow parents who admit they too get things wrong occasionally. Stories and tips cover a huge range of parenting dilemmas, from 'what to do if your child has a screaming, plank-rigid wobbler in M&S, and everyone's giving you Bad Parent looks' and 'how to handle a foul-mouthed monster obsessed with the toilet parts of horses' to 'sex: should you make the effort or just not bother?'. Above all, this funny, refreshingly honest look at being a real-life mum will come as a welcome reminder that yours is not the only family who can't go to Ikea without tears, tantrums and the threat of divorce...

Lorcan The only thing I remember from before the war is that Zosia hated me on sight - and the feeling was mutual. Keeping her alive was the price I had to pay to restore honor to my father’s name. Yet everyone tells me we were more than adversaries. I don’t believe them, but the harder I fight to win this war, the more she haunts me. I once promised the princess that as long as I remained alive, I would come for her. But I broke that vow…and now it might be too late. Zosia I'm free after spending more than a year alone with a madman, but the country I’m meant to lead lies in ruins. Dreams of a life with Lorcan, which sustained me through my captivity, are dead. There was only ever one path for me: an arranged marriage. This time, I’m the one to strike the bargain. But when Lorcan admits, after weeks of ferocious silence, that he remembers me, I throw caution to the wind. If there’s any chance at happiness with him, I’ll pay any price. We've both been through so much. It’s only when I’ve walked away from the best chance of rebuilding my country that I discover the true depth of his betrayal… This is the second book in a trilogy which should be read in order. Start with Falling Princess. Eternal Knight ends on a cliffhanger; Queen Rising, the third book ends with a Happy Ever After. Contains violence and mature themes.

I wasn’t looking for anything. I was content with the waves beneath my skin, the salt in my hair. Until Him. Until those tattooed fingers painted my life black. Until the strings on his guitar tied me to him forever. My name is Luna Perry. Could I ever shine bright enough in his eternal darkness to bring him back to me? I was numb. I wasn’t living, not really. The world had been wiped from under my feet and the sun had forever set on any future I thought I might have. Who knew that one day the darkness would outshine any light the sun could have given me? My name is Reid Archer. And this is my story.

Running late to the Hinkler gala performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore, she meets some thugs in a dark alley and handles them convincingly before they can ruin her silver dress. Phryne then finds that she has rescued a gorgeous Chinese man, Lin Chung, and his grandmother, and is briefly mistaken for a deity. Denying divinity but accepting cognac, she later continues safely to the theater. But it's an unexpected evening as her night is again interrupted by a most bizarre death onstage. What links can Phryne possibly find between the ridiculously entertaining plot of Ruddigore, the city's Chinese community, and the actors treading the boards of His Majesty's Theatre? Drawn backstage and onstage, Phryne must solve an old murder and find a new murderer, and, of course, banish the theater's ghost, who seems likely to kill again.
