Welcome to Vivo. 🐕
Here is your first look at the cover of Sven Axelrad’s fourth novel, The Dogs of Vivo!
We are beyond excited to share this playful, nostalgic, sexy, philosophical, original, stylish and just plain cool new novel with you.
Coming to shelves in May 2026.
It’s official. ✍️ @panmacmillan UK and Pan Macmillan South Africa have acquired the definitive guide to exponential success by @adriangoreofficial , Founder and CEO of Discovery.
The Four Principles, releasing globally on 6 August 2026, is a masterclass in creating impact. It argues that we are ‘evolutionarily miscoded’ for a world that no longer exists and offers a rigorous framework for success.
Drawing on 30 years of building Discovery and Vitality – and global partnerships with brands like @apple , @asics , @garmin , @ouraring , and Virgin Active – Gore reveals principles that are teachable, tactical, and grounded in science.
"The Four Principles isn’t a memoir of that success, but a rigorous, scientifically-backed manual on how to replicate it." – Kate Walsh, Senior Commissioning Editor, Pan Macmillan UK.

First Time Caller by BK Borison ✨
This is the sweetest slow burn romance ever! Got me giggling and kicking my feet. 💗🙈
The story follows Lucie Stone, a single mom whose daughter calls into a popular romance radio show asking for dating advice for her mom, unexpectedly connecting Lucie with the show’s charming but love-weary host, Aiden Valentine, and turning their slow-burn romance into something the whole city can’t stop listening to, inspired by “Sleepless in Seattle”.
This is one of those books that i had v high expectations for as everyone and their cousins had read it. The plot instantly drew me in but the authenticity of Lucie, her lil family and Aiden turning into a softie without realising it made me stay up till late at night to finish reading it. It is one of those books that make you feel all warm and cozy and stays with you for long.🥹🫶🏻
Also, I’m absolutely dying for the movie adaptation of First Time Caller, it’ll be absolute perfection.😍
My rating: 5/5
Do i recommend? YES! YES!
