QBD Books’ August Books of the Month

Featuring hit new titles for kids, young adult, adult fiction and non-fiction readers. QBD Books are thrilled to showcase these four titles for Books of the Month:

FICTION

‘The Turing Protocol’ by Australian author Nick Croydon is a genre-bending essential for your August TBR lists. During WWII, codebreaker Alan Turing invents a time-travel device called Nautilus to help win D-Day. Realizing its immense power, he entrusts it to Joan, mother of his secret child. Over the next 70 years, the Turing family must choose when—and if—to use it, knowing it could either save the world or destroy it.

NON-FICTION

‘The Fourth Pillar: Modern Stoicism and the Philosophy of High Performance’ by Harry Moffitt explores the often-overlooked key to high performance: our philosophical self. Drawing on ancient wisdom and lessons from elite military, sports, and corporate worlds, he reveals how purpose, self-awareness, and lived experience are essential to a fulfilling life – especially in today’s anxious, uncertain world.

YOUNG ADULT

‘Of Flame and Fury’ by Australian author Mikayla Bridge is a high-stakes YA fantasy novel about Kel Varra and her crew, the Crimson Howlers in a world where phoenix racing is deadly and survival is never guaranteed. When a tech billionaire offers them a risky opportunity, Kel is forced to partner with her rival, Coup. As tensions rise, so do secrets, sparks, and a powerful conspiracy. In this high-stakes game, there’s only one rule: win – or burn.

CHILDREN’S

‘The School for Wicked Witches’ by Will Taylor follows 11-year-old Ava Heartstraw, who when leaving her desert home to train as a witch, she’s wrongly sent to the grim School for Wicked Witches. Determined to prove she’s not wicked, Ava and her new friends uncover dark secrets hidden within the school. To escape, they’ll need courage, cleverness – and a little rebellious magic.
