How Should Prisons Treat Inmates? (At Issue Series)

Social Issues

Exactly one year after her dramatic cook-off against nemesis Tommy McCoy, Jools Campbell's endearing, down-to-earth approach to cooking and family life has won her many fans. But the world of celebrity (and the money that comes with it) soon lures her back in after the roof of her house caves in, and she finds herself signing a contract to be a judge on a cooking show for children called Little Chefs. Jools soon finds her decision challenged when she discovers her co-star and fellow judge is none other than Tommy McCoy, on a mission to save his name and reputation. The show is hugely popular, with people drawn to the 'chemistry' between Jools and McCoy who has adopted a Simon Cowell-like approach to judging (mainly involving making children cry), which begins another all too familiar round of media intrusion into Jools' life.

Ed is a virgin. I didn’t know those existed – not at our age anyway. Maybe he was so drunk that he forgot all the times he’s had sex. I wish I could get that drunk.\nMia and Ed have been best friends ever since they began teaching at the same school. Ed bakes cake for the staff, Mia eats the cakes.

So, when Mia discovers Ed is still a virgin at twenty-eight, she decides to take matters into her own hands and teach him the skills he needs to seduce the pretty new maths teacher, Caitlin.\nIt’s an education that involves panic-buying sex toys and buddy-watching porn, and when Ed graduates with an A+ for effort – and begins dating the perfect-on-paper Caitlin – Mia knows her work is done.\nBut is Caitlin as sweet as she seems? And could Mia’s feelings for Ed be stronger than she realised?\nA fabulously feel-good and unmissable read for fans of rom-coms by Sophie Kinsella, Mhairi McFarlane and Beth O’Leary and anyone who’s seen and loved Sex Education, Teachers and When Harry Met Sally.

Five Gold Rings: A totally hilarious and unforgettable Christmas rom-com

It's normal for your washing machine to get more action than you, right? I wake up, bleary-eyed. It's been two years, six months and three hours since I last shaved my legs, and the llama-patterned knickers I'm wearing have seen better days. We have seven minutes before the kids wake up, and my husband shuffles closer. 'Ouch, ' he says, a piece of Lego sticking into his back. Then, a light comes on in the landing. Small footsteps creep down the stairs. A little voice screams, 'IS SOMEONE COMING TO MAKE BREAKFAST?!' All hope of having some 'alone time' is replaced with wondering if we've run out of Cheerios, thinking about the overflowing laundry, and remembering that I forgot to take out the recycling. Again. Just a typical Monday morning for the Morton family... Except today, when I go downstairs in my dressing gown, I find something. Something belonging to my husband. Something that definitely wasn't in the wedding vows. And it's either going to make us... or break us. An utterly hilarious and unmissable novel for anyone who has ever felt like they spend more time washing the dishes than getting lucky.

Has Anyone Seen My Sex Life?: An absolutely hilarious, laugh out loud page turner (The Callaghan Sisters)

It's normal to prefer getting a filling at the dentist to spending time with your husband, right? I thought I was sorted on the life front. I was a heart surgeon with a loving partner and two gorgeous little girls. Except my husband's version of 'loving' is lying, cheating and sleeping his way around London. Which means I definitely deserve a refund. Unfortunately, moving on isn't that simple. Just because I know how to operate on a heart doesn't mean I know how to fix my broken one. Plus, I lost the receipt for him years ago so I'm definitely getting short changed. But now I'm single, am I ready to mingle? There are a few minor issues: <ul> <li>The last time I went on a date double denim was in fashion and my eyebrows were horrendously overplucked.</li> <li>Men wear stupidly skinny jeans now.</li> <li>I don't know how to use dating apps but at least I don't have to get changed out of my pyjamas.</li> <li>Sometimes the most promising thing you have in common with a guy is a shared love of prawns.</li> <li>I don't know whether to open a date with 'hi' or 'hello' or 'hey' and once I ended up saying 'howdy'.</li> </ul> Everything happens for a reason, they say. There's plenty more fish in the sea. But what happens when everything falls apart and you haven't got a clue how to go fishing?

It's normal to wish that your baby came with a snooze button, right? When I got pregnant, Will and I didn't have a clue what we were signing up for. It turns out that there's loads we weren't warned about: 1) In the middle of the night you'll be begging Siri for advice on getting your baby to sleep. (In case you're wondering, whale music doesn't work.) 2) If you make the mistake of going to a nightclub you'll nod off, drool, and be woken up by an angry bouncer. 3) You'll spend more time spooning your child's cuddly donkey than your own boyfriend. 4) Communication with your other half will be via post-it notes on the fridge, mainly telling him to buy more milk. 5) Sex is something that happened in another dimension. But even if I feel like I'm waiting for my motherhood powers to come in the post, at least I've got Will. Our old life - festivals, sambuca shots, an actual sex life - might be a distant memory, but we can get through anything together, can't we? At least that's what I thought until, one day, Will walked out on us... If I'm on my own (apart from Siri, obviously) can I do this whole parenting thing? Or I am destined to lose my sanity one sleepless night at a time? A totally hilarious and absolutely relatable tale for anyone who has survived parenthood purely on microwave meals and wished for an IV drip of coffee to get them through! This uplifting page-turner will make your belly ache with laughter. Perfect for fans of Why Mummy Drinks, Sophie Ranald and Sophie Kinsella.
