The string diaries
A family is hunted by a centuries-old monster: a man with a relentless obsession who can take on any identity. The String Diaries is a sweeping thriller that extends from the present day, to Oxford in the 1970s, to Hungary at the turn of the 19th century, all tracing back to a man from an ancient royal family with a consuming passion--a boy who can change his shape, insert himself into the intimate lives of his victims, and destroy them. If Hannah fails to end the chase now, her daughter is next in line. Only Hannah can decide how much she is willing to sacrifice to finally put a centuries-old curse to rest.

The Dementia Diaries : A Novel in Cartoons
Brie's Granddad has always been a serious man, never without a newspaper and knowing the answer to everything. But now he keeps losing track of the conversation, and honestly, Brie doesn't really know how to speak to him. At first, Fred was annoyed that Gramps had come to live with them, it meant he had to give up his room! But then he starts to enjoy watching old films with him and spending time together ... although there's the small problem of Gramps calling him Simon. Follow the stories of Brie, Fred, and other young carers as they try to understand and cope with their grandparents' dementia at all stages of the illness. Adapted from true stories, and supplemented with fun activities and discussion ideas, this book for children aged approximately 7-14 cuts to the truth of the experience of dementia and tackles stigma with a warm and open perspective.

Marketing middlebrow feminism: Elizabeth von Arnim, the new woman and the fin-de-siecle book market
[...] isn't it delightful not to know who did it.3 The author of Elizabeth and Her German Garden would go on to write a series of sequels that explored the eponymous heroine's domestic life, elaborated her love of reading and gardening, and followed her travel adventures.4 In all, it would be a prolific career, with twenty novels and a hit West-End play to her credit before her death in 1941.5 While the mystery of the author's identity would eventually be solved-Mary Annette von Arnim-known, ever after, as \"Elizabeth\" von Arnim-the mystery of her disappearance from historical accounts of fin-de-siècle literary culture remains largely unexamined. [...] von Arnim's first novel does attest to the cultural pervasiveness of the New Woman debate in the late 189Os.'2 The New Woman comes bicycling into the narrative of Elizabeth and Her German Garden in the form of Minora, a young English woman who arrives in Pomerania to stay with the narrator for the Christmas holidays.13 If her new-fangled mode of transport does not immediately mark her out to the reader as a New Woman, Minora's choice to attend art school abroad certainly aligns her with the emerging generation of New Woman who, as Ann Heilmann notes, was distinguished by her wish for greater freedom of movement, her desire for increased educational opportunities, [and] her expectation of professional fulfilment.\\n Thus the success of von Arnim's second work with 'respectable' readers suggests the considerable influence that middlebrow feminism was already wielding by the end of the 1890s.

In the lamplight Book Review
[...]Jimmy the wallaby,' a animal mascot for the hospitalised soldiers, provides light-hearted moments, while also conveying a sense of the Australian soldiers' need for connection and diversion while they are a far from home, grappling with convalescence and their uncertain future. Despite this, In the Lamplight offers a rich source for understanding World War I from the point of view of the English home front. For a history teacher, this is reassurance that the broader context is based on verifiable sources.
