Brutally Honest
by Melanie Brown
The tell-all memoir from the loudest, proudest Spice Girl -
and the truth behind the headlines
As one-fifth of the iconic Spice Girls and judge on X Factor
and America’s Got Talent, Melanie Brown, a.k.a Scary
Spice, has been an international star since her twenties.
Brutally Honest is an expose of the struggles and acute pain
that lay behind the glamour and success.
With deep personal insight, remarkable frankness and
trademark Yorkshire humour, the book removes the mask
of fame and reveals the true story behind the Spice Girls, as
well as the horror of her most recent marriage and her 10
year struggle to be free.

Warrior
by Simon Mannering
Simon Mannering is one of elite sport’s great enigmas. From
2005 to 2018 he was a regular fixture in the Warriors and
Kiwis rugby league teams and has captained both. He is one
of only a handful of players to have played 300 NRL games
for one club and, remarkably, he’s the only one who has ever
done it flying back and forth across the Tasman every second
weekend. Yet little is known about him as he shuns the spotlight
and seldom does interviews.
Warriors and former All Blacks doctor John Mayhew rates
Simon alongside Richie McCaw and Buck Shelford for sheer
toughness and his ability to play through pain and illness is
legendary.
While the Warriors have been up and down over the years,
Simon Mannering has maintained a consistently high standard
of play and regularly led tackle counts.
Yet he was not a sporting prodigy. In Warrior, Simon explains
how he transformed himself from a sports-mad kid with
mediocre talents into one of the greats of New Zealand sport.

A Diamond in the Dust
by Frauke Bolten-Boshammer
The powerful true story of how one woman turned outback dust
into a diamond empire.
Within minutes of landing in Kununurra, Frauke Bolten had made
up her mind to get on a plane back home to Germany. The dusty
frontier town was no place for a woman. However, Frauke stayed,
determined to help her husband carve out a new life farming.
Tragedy struck just three years later when Friedrich took his own
life and she was left to raise their family alone.
Twenty-six years after she sold her first necklace, Kimberley Fine
Diamonds in Kununurra is now home to one of the world’s largest
collections of Argyle pink diamonds, with a client list that includes
Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Frauke is credited for not only
pioneering an industry, but for putting the tiny outback town and its
precious diamonds on the map.
A Diamond in the Dust is a tale of love and loss, hardship and
heartache, but ultimately the inspiring story of how a young girl
from Germany overcame tragedy to pioneer a diamond empire in
one of the most unforgiving terrains on earth.
The Rescuers
by Laura Greaves
Dogs are renowned for their loyalty, and those saved from
animal shelters or rescue groups seem to be especially
devoted to the humans who have offered them a second
chance. In this extraordinary collection, meet the brave
dogs that have shown incredible courage – even risking
death – to protect their people.
There’s Leala, the Staffy who raced for help when her
two-year-old owner fell in a dam; Buddy, the labrador who
licked his owner awake to save her from a house fire; and
Brian, the pit bull who valiantly fought off three other dogs
to protect his owner.
From unforgettable moments of courage to heart-warming
tales of true loyalty, these are the stories of some of the
most heroic rescue dogs in the world.
