Never Give Up by Bear Grylls

Bear Grylls’ sequel to the multi-million copy selling global phenomenon Mud, Sweat and Tears continues to chronicle the global adventurer and presenter’s life and career since stepping onto screen, taking readers along with him on his most famous adventures, sharing personal stories from his favourite expeditions, and capturing his hairiest survival challenges.

Reflections by Holly Willoughby

A heartfelt, perceptive book about finding beauty, inside and out, Holly Willoughby is the UK’s most popular female TV presenter and is best known for her work on This Morning, Dancing on Ice and, formerly, Celebrity Juice. The book explores the idea of gaining courage, contentment and awareness from within, recognising the beauty that is within all of us and promoting the opportunity to take time to look after ourselves, rather than just others. “I’m finally at a point in my life where I can see a little more clearly,” Holly says. “Writing is such a personal process and between these pages you will find many little pieces of me. I want to share my truths in the hope that maybe they’ll help you too.” Published by Transworld on October 28th

My Life in Dire Straits by John Illsley

One of the most iconic and important British pop/rock bands of a generation, Dire Straits cracked America at a time when many consistently struggled to engage with the US audience, in the process building a transatlantic fan following that celebrated beautiful tracks, heartfelt anthems and timeless melodies that stand the test of time some four decades on. In this revealing tale of life as a founding member of Dire Straits, bassist John Illsley reveals the working man’s clubs to Madison Square Gardens, sharing gigs with wild punk bands to the Live Aid stage at Wembley.
