REACHER 30: EXIT STRATEGY by Lee & Andrew Child
Jack Reacher is back, as sharp, solitary, and unstoppable as ever. From a quiet Baltimore coffee shop to a dark mystery unfolding across state borders, Exit Strategy embodies classic Reacher: quick thinking, few words, maximum impact. A simple encounter with a stranger leaves him holding more than loose change – a plea for help hidden in his pocket sparks a relentless quest for justice. With each stop on his journey, Reacher unravels a thread leading to danger, deception, and a woman in peril. The Child brothers deliver taut, muscular prose and perfectly paced tension that fans expect. It’ s Reacher at his best – decisive, dangerous, and completely unwilling to walk away.
WHY AM I LIKE THIS? by Qaanitah Hunter
In this sharp, tender, and poignantly honest debut, Qaanitah Hunter captures the angst and humour of being young, stuck, and seeking meaning in a world obsessed with wellness, therapy-speak, and selfoptimisation. Farah Nosipho Garda is 27, perpetually studying and constantly fleeing from herself. When she moves back to Johannesburg to care for her mother, she finds herself navigating grief, love, and the uncomfortable process of growing up. Why Am I Like This? is a contemporary coming-of-age story that’ s raw and redemptive in equal measure. Hunter’ s writing is humorous, relatable, and deeply human.
A reminder that healing isn’ t a linear journey, and sometimes, it begins simply by asking the difficult questions.
