On 13 March 1996 a man walked into Dunblane Primary School armed with four legally owned handguns, and in less than four minutes fired 105 bullets, killing sixteen children and their Primary One teacher.The gunman was notorious among local parents, politicians and police: for years he ran a network of popular boys clubs and was the subject of multiple complaints and investigations, but, despite considerable evidence of troubling behaviour, he was never charged. His crime shocked the world then changed the nation but only after an extraordinary political battle.Based on original archival research, unseen royal correspondence and exclusive interviews with parents, One Morning in March tells for the first time of the lead-up to that day but also the incredible and powerful true story of how, in their darkest hour, a band of parents used their grief as fuel in a fight with John Majors Conservative government to forever ban handguns in Britain. It is a story of how Princess Diana, forbidden to comfort the parents in the immediate aftermath, urged their campaign on; of how Andy Murray, a pupil at the school, ultimately banished the shadow over his hometown by winning Wimbledon; and of how the grieving parents secured the tightest gun laws in the world.

In this wickedly sharp collection of eight interconnected stories, Miles Hartwell skewers our modern obsession with self-optimization and the relentless pursuit of becoming our "best selves." At the heart of the collection is Marcus Finley, an ordinary office worker who stumbles down the rabbit hole of peak performance culture after witnessing a colleagues insufferable success with the "Five AM Club."What begins as a simple attempt to wake up earlier spirals into an absurdist exploration of the wellness industrial complex and its promises of transformation. Through Marcus and a cast of equally flawed characters, Hartwell examines the gap between who we are and who were constantly told we should befitter, more productive, more mindful, more optimized.Each story in this collection takes aim at a different facet of self-improvement culture: extreme morning routines, biohacking obsessions, productivity gurus, meditation apps, and the tyranny of constant self-monitoring. But beneath the satire lies something more poignant: a recognition of the very real anxieties driving us toward these solutions. Why do we feel so inadequate? What are we actually searching for when we download the latest habit-tracking app at 2 AM?Hartwells prose is precise and darkly funny, capturing the desperation and absurdity of trying to engineer a better version of yourself while your actual life slowly browns at the edges like a neglected houseplant. His characters are achingly recognizablepeople who know, on some level, that theyre chasing something impossible, yet cant quite stop themselves.Perfect for readers who love the satirical bite of George Saunders or the keen social observations of Sally Rooney, "Peak Performance" offers both comic relief and uncomfortable recognition. Its a book for anyone who has ever felt the itch of envy while scrolling through someone elses morning routine, or wondered if theyre somehow fundamentally failing at being human.

Uma simples trama, um conto poético sobre dois jovens, que apesar de estudarem na mesma escola e consequentemente na mesma sala de aulas, nunca haviam conversado, pois eram de uma classe social diferente. Em tempos de juventude, os populares ficavam de um lado e os estudiosos de outro. A historia se passa na pequena cidade de Monte Verde/MG, sendo uma narrativa ficticia, mas baseada em fatos reais. A historia de um garoto que se apaixonou por uma bela moça, Pedro, que sonhava e bolava planos incriveis para conquistar o seu amor. Luna, uma menina linda, filha de pais separados, inteligente, doce, mas que nem de longe desconfiava ser por Pedro, admirada. A Bella Luna, um conto poetico que contem nas entrelinhas uma sexualidade inocente, com um toque de humor, momentos emocionantes e tambem tristes, com um grau romantico significativo, vale a pena ler.
