Rose Chan, “Queen of Striptease” at just 27 years old, enthralled men young and old in the heyday of cabaret in 1950s Malaya. Her accidental shot to fame, thanks to a wardrobe malfunction in which her bra snapped, catapulted her into the limelight. In No Bed of Roses, Cecil Rajendra pens an account of her life — her childhood in Soochow, China, and then in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, her five marriages and personal struggles, how she circumvented the colonial decency laws that forbade nudity, and finally her fight with cancer that took her life in 1987 at the age of 62.

'I've long wished perfumery to be taken seriously as an art, and for scent critics to be as fierce as opera critics, and for the wearers of certain "fragrances" to be hissed in public, while others are cheered. This year has brought Perfumes: The Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez, which I breathed in, rather than read, in one delighted gulp.' Hilary Mantel, Guardian Perfumes: The Guide is the culmination of Turin's lifelong obsession and rare scientific flair and Sanchez's stylish and devoted blogging about every scent that she's ever loved and loathed. Together they make a fine and utterly persuasive argument for the unrecognised craft of perfume-making. Perfume writing has certainly never been this honest, compelling or downright entertaining.

Along the trails of endless pines, I search for truth and follow signs. How’s your summer going? Mine is ruined. Hi. My name is Ri. I’m the kind of delinquent teenage girl you hear horror stories about. My parents thought they could reform my “bad” attitude and get me away from my “troublemaking” friends in the city by shipping me off to my grandparents’ house in the countryside for the summer. I’m supposed to stay clear of the “forbidden” forest and piss away my days in my grandparents’ stupid rose garden alongside a boy named Avery. Avery is seventeen, but he chooses to work for my grandparents because he likes roses. Well, the joke’s on them. I’m getting the hell out of here, and I won’t let anyone stop me—especially not some weirdo boy. — Awash with Summer Roses is a young adult contemporary coming-of-age story and romance with a splash of magic. All books have been published; this series is complete.

Some people carry the blood of demons. They often appear normal. They may even be unaware of it themselves. Until the curse activates. When a monster awakens, someone usually ends up dead. But not all hope is lost. All monsters are welcome at Nightshade Academy. Eighteen-year-old Nova Ray didn't have big plans for the future. She was comfortable living life quietly and unseen with her mother, but all of that changed the night a mysterious man triggered her curse and revealed her vampire nature. Nova would have killed someone that night, maybe even her human mother, if she hadn't been found and taken to Nightshade Academy first. But her troubles are far from over. Nova's in lockdown. Nightshade Academy is supposed to rehabilitate monsters. The goal is to teach them how to control their monster natures so they can rejoin human civilization. But Nova's bloodlust is insatiable and picky. She's fixated on a star student: Kian Salazar. He wants to help her, but she can't stop thinking about drinking his blood. It's all too much. What if she kills him? If the curse consumes Nova, she'll truly be a monster. And there's no going back from that. This book contains Nightshade Academy Episodes 1-5.
