Esme Good is an entirely unremarkable young woman working a dead-end job in a city much like this, in a first draft universe that lies forgotten in one of the Creator’s cosmic drawers. Through one of the slightly more surprising quantum coincidences in recent memory, Esme ends up deleting every other possible version of herself in every other possible reality – leaving Esme with the somewhat troubling realisation: There is only one of her. This makes her not only the most important person in this, or perhaps any, universe – but it also makes her the target of an inter-galactic (wo)manhunt. We don’t have time to get into exactly why that is – but to remedy it, she has to somehow make an appointment to meet our maker and ask if they wouldn’t mind terribly fixing it, her, the world, and everything in it.

But one day, on her way home, she is ambushed by Hodaka, a client who has taken a persistent liking to Mana. She is saved from his advances by her husband, Kazuki Suzukura, but Mana is not relieved. She is terrified. Because five years ago, Mana pushed her husband off a cliff. Kazuki claims to have no memories of their past life together and there seems to be no trace of the violent man Mana once knew him as. So, reluctantly, she allows him to move back into their former home. Just as Mana is adjusting to this new life, an anonymous letter arrives at her doorstep. Then a detective informs Mana that Kazuki’s remains have been found in the mountains of Miyagi Prefecture. Who is this man that Mana has allowed into her house? What kind of woman can’t recognise her own husband?

Comparing yourselves to others; feeling burnt out at work; struggling to live in the present; yearning for more money or possessions – in times like these, it’s easy to feel unfulfilled – but happiness shouldn’t feel out of reach. With her trademark wit and compassion, author and illustrator Dancing Snail breaks down how to find the small joys in everyday living. We are often told that ‘money can’t buy happiness’ or that we should simply ‘be kinder to ourselves’, but in a world that moves at a million miles an hour, it is impossible to keep up. But perhaps there is a way to reframe what holds us back? Instead, we could focus on accepting that some things don’t work out, on turning fear into empowerment, noting the difference between advice and disparagement, not always putting a price tag on our hobbies, and the joy of missing out.

Ever noticed how much traction a break-up ballad gains in column inches? Or how fans jump on dissecting and philosophising the roots of a diss track? Or ever watched a dance floor fill up whenever reference to Becky with the Good Hair blares through the speakers at a wedding party? Yep – the world, and its ears, love a bit of lyrically-sneering, heart-rending, soul-baring, all to a catchy baseline. From Lily Allen to Taylor Swift, Joni Mitchell to Beyonce, Charli XCX to Dolly Parton, Stevie Nicks to the members of ABBA, and let’s not forget 90’s RNB (who were those scrubs?!) – the world of pop has been full of brilliant singles that everyone sings along to, often without knowing their origin story. This book is a deep dive into their history and cultural reference, with some lovely snatches of gossip and trivia along the way.

You may think about the Roman Empire every day, but I bet you rarely think about the plebs. The plebs were the commoners, the general populace and lower social classes, and as such their feelings, thoughts and voices are seldom captured in the sources. Most books about Ancient Rome treat the plebs as irrelevant ‘lowlifes’, which is indeed how they were viewed by the patricians at the centre of the existing popular histories. ‘Plebs Romana’ is a history of Ancient Rome to centre the class of people who made up the empire’s majority. A 700-year story that begins with the founding of the Roman Republic, historian Peter Jones traces the rise of the plebs, from being a powerless group to a political match for the ‘patrician’ elite.
