A Brief History of the Battle of Agincourt
A vivid account of one of the greatest British military victories
The House of Medici
It was a dynasty with more wealth, passion, and power than the houses of Windsor, Kennedy, and Rockefeller combined. It shaped all of Europe and controlled politics, scientists, artists, and even popes, for three hundred years. It was the house of Medici, patrons of Botticelli, Michelangelo and Galileo, benefactors who turned Florence into a global power center, and then lost it all.The House of Medici picks up where Barbara Tuchman's Hibbert delves into the lives of the Medici family, whose legacy of increasing self-indulgence and sexual dalliance eventually led to its self-destruction. With twenty-four pages of black-and-white illustrations, this timeless saga is one of Quill's strongest-selling paperbacks.

Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A pair of ex-best friends turned high school rivals must work together to survive the great outdoors--and each other--in this cozy enemies-to-lovers romance from the beloved author of the Brown Sisters trilogy. 'A pure delight. This book is confirmation: no one does love stories like Talia Hibbert.'--Leah Johnson, author of You Should See Me in a Crown and Rise to the Sun Bradley Graeme is pretty much perfect. He's a star football player, manages his OCD well (enough), and comes out on top in all his classes . . . except the ones he shares with his ex-best friend, Celine. Celine Bangura is conspiracy-theory-obsessed. Social media followers eat up her takes on everything from UFOs to holiday overconsumption--yet, she's still not cool enough for the popular kids' table.
