Between 1964 and 1992, Leeds United won eleven fabulous trophies, but the team were runners-up just as often. They missed out on many more titles and cups, not least club football's greatest prize, the European Cup, in 1975. In No Glossing Over It, lifelong Leeds United fan Gary Edwards reveals why the club has dramatically lost out on victory in many of these competitions and how it has been the victim of a pattern of serial abuse by the footballing authorities - most recently seen in the unprecedented 15-point sanction meted out at the start of the 2007-08 season. Featuring the views of former Leeds players and managers, as well as top-flight referees and diehard fans, No Glossing Over It examines the injustices that have befallen Leeds United and sheds new light on the shocking events that have long rankled with the club's supporters.
By the author of Vintage: “A stained glass window of a novel: lovely, glowing and precise . . . brims with insight into grief and joy, love and regret.” —Greer Macallister, USA Today–bestselling author of The Thirteenth Husband Nell Parker has a PhD in art history, a loving husband named Josh, and a bungalow in Madison, Wisconsin. But in secret, her heart is still reeling from the tragic loss of the one baby she and Josh have managed to conceive. Rather than pausing to grieve, she seeks out testing and fertility treatments, hiding the steep costs from her husband. Meanwhile, Josh urges Nell to apply for jobs so she can focus on something other than a baby that may never be. Luckily, the Mansion Hill Artists’ Colony needs a director. Nell is handed a set of keys to the lakeside mansion where the artists reside—and left to figure things out on her own. The young metal sculptor, Odin, keeps the other residents awake with his late-night welding projects. Annie, a dreadlocked granny, may be dealing drugs out of the basement “studio.” And Paige, an art student from the university, experiments with new printing and design techniques in the third-floor turret, and leads a string of bad boyfriends upstairs when she stumbles home in the wee hours. Despite all the drama, Nell finds something akin to a family among the members of this creative community. And when her attraction to Odin begins to heat up, Nell is forced to decide what will bring her greater joy—the inspired world she’s built for herself, or the familiar but increasingly fragile one of her marriage. “Memorable . . . a transportive, satisfying portrait of an artists’ colony.” —Publishers Weekly “An eclectic mix of characters . . . Thoroughly satisfying, from the first page to the last.” —Jessica Strawser, USA Today-bestselling author of The Last Caretaker
Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries, returns to Little Bridge Island with a new story about an author with a case of writer's block and an arrogant novelist who have to set aside their differences as they get through a weekend long book festival that just might change everything - including their feelings for each other.

And when she finds out Will won't even be on the island, there's no reason to refuse.

Vintage is Susan Gloss’s sparkling debut novel in the Vein of The Friday Night Knitting Club, centered around a Midwestern vintage clothing shop and a group of women who eventually transform the store and each others’ lives. At Hourglass Vintage in Madison, Wisconsin, every item in the boutique has a story to tell . . . and so do the women who are drawn there. Violet Turner has always dreamed of owning a shop like Hourglass Vintage. When she is faced with the possibility of losing it, she realizes that, as much as she wants to, she cannot save it alone. Eighteen-year-old April Morgan is nearly five months along in an unplanned pregnancy when her hasty engagement is broken. When she returns the perfect 1950s wedding dress, she discovers unexpected possibilities and friends who won’t let her give up on her dreams. Betrayed by her husband, Amithi Singh begins selling off her old clothes, remnants of her past life. After decades of housekeeping and parenting a daughter who rejects her traditional ways, she fears she has nothing more ahead for her. An engaging story that beautifully captures the essence of women’s friendship and love, Vintage is a charming tale of possibility, of finding renewal and hope when we least expect it.
With an elegant sweetness and a pitch-perfect sense of western life reminiscent of Annie Dillard, Glosss breakout novel is a remarkable story about the connections between people and animals and how they touch one another in the most unexpected and profound ways.
