A fantastic tour of 25 ancient deities, the book reclaims these feminist icons for a new generation, divinely illustrated by Georgia Perry. We meet Athena the strong woman of Classical Greece, rule-breaking Freyja from Scandinavia, laugh at yourself with Uzume of Japan, get what you're owed with Oshun from Yoruba, embrace ambition, be a bitch, learn the power of female solidarity, make your own luck, gain respect, be unapologetic, understand love, find balance, keep it kind, play the long game, prioritise self care, say no, build resilience, enjoy single life, take care of your mental health, learn to be adaptable, beat fear, own your sensuality and discover the importance of old ladies. From the myths of the Mayan Mexico, Russia, China, India, Scotland, Australia, Bali, Tibet and Mesopotamia, the goddesses' stories in this book reflect the expectations that both hamper women and provide them with timeless models of how to live their best lives. Why settle for being a mere mortal when you could live like a goddess? Faber paperback, 247pp, illus.

A terracotta bowl sprouts five cute little white kittens with grey ears, and see cats licking ice cream, cuddling each other, yawning and meowing, licking their noses, posing with legs in strange positions, looking one-eyed and one with a blue sapphire and an amber eye, wearing antlers and Christmas hats, Bengals looking like royalty, huge saucer-eyed cats looking inquisitively at the camera, and a gallery of cats wearing huge glasses: 'After a long day at the office, Rhino likes to come home and unwind with a good book.' An irresistible compilation of over 400 of the cutest original photos from the hugely popular Instagram profile @cats_of_instagram filled with everyday antics and the ultimate new collection for every feline fan. We adore the rather grumpy looking ones, especially the Devon Rex with no hair, pink curly tail and curious blue eyes looking upwards and backwards over his shoulder at the camera. 144pp, 400 colour photos.

How do you find a book when you can't recall the title...or the author? This homage to a bibliophile's dilemma is inspired by this torturous predicament. Artist Marina Luz creates paintings of books based on the descriptions we use when we can't remember their titles like 'Cat, possibly named Henry.' 'It was a dream, girl, horse, lightning, paranormal romance, a witch who owns a candle shop, man dies in embrace of hated woman, magic alleyway to prostitutionland, insane husband burns down house, polar bear wearing pants possibly named Victor or Vincent.' I think you get the picture! A unique appreciation of book love and the bizarre ways that books leave impressions on our souls. Marina Luz is an Emmy-Award-winning illustrator whose work has appeared in the New York Times and here she created some very clever book 'covers' for misremembered books. One beautiful artwork in colour per page, 96pp, 20.7 x 15.9cm.

Literary friends and foes prove that the pen is truly mightier than the sword. The world's most respected writers reveal their acerbic side of beloved authors who can become brutal critics when writing about their fellow wordsmiths. Curated from letters, essays and reviews, this sometimes stinging, sometimes good natured and always delightful collection will ignite the armchair critic in us all. Edna St Vincent Millay on e.e. cummings: 'Some of the most pompous nonsense I ever let slip to the floor with a wide yawn.' Virginia Woolf on James Joyce: 'A queasy undergraduate scratching his pimples.' Evelyn Waugh: 'I am reading Proust for the first time. Very poor stuff. I think he was mentally defective.' And Charlotte Brontë on Jane Austen's Emma: 'She ruffles her reader by nothing vehement, disturbs by nothing profound.' Page after page of amusement ending with the quite brilliant Lord Byron on William Wordsworth: 'Turdsworth'. One quote per page, nicely typeset. 144pp.
