Zayn Malik Rocks

Former One Direction band member Zayn Malik is releasing his first autobiography, which will include personal photographs and drawings, presenting his own story so that fans "can judge me on my own terms, not on what the press or anyone else says."

Zayn Malik shocked the world in 2015 when he unexpectedly announced his departure from One Direction, one of the most successful British groups of all time. Despite his desire to step back from the spotlight, Zayn had no intention of stepping back from music, his one true passion. Indeed, he was determined to prove any doubters wrong. Able to forge his own musical path at last, Zayn unveiled hidden talents in his debut solo album Mind of Mine which showcased an eclectic range of influences, from R&B to reggae and even classical. When One Direction first formed on The X Factor in 2010, few could have predicted the record-breaking successes they would achieve, or the millions of adoring fans they would gain. Despite the controversy over his departure from the band, Zayn has continued this trend of unprecedented success in his solo career, with his first single ‘Pillowtalk’ reaching No.1 around the world. In this fully updated biography, top celebrity biographer Sarah Oliver traces Zayn’s steps so far, from boyhood in Bradford, to One Direction stardom and his development as a solo artist. Aged just twenty-three, it is only the beginning for Zayn, and the brilliance of Mind of Mine is a sign of even greater things to come.

This is a must have book for any fans of One Direction, especially all those infatuated with teen heart-throbs Zayn Malik and Liam Payne. One Direction came to the world's attention after coming second in the 2011 series of The X Factor. Since then they have gone from strength to strength, dominating the charts in the UK and the USA, and capturing the hearts of millions. In this double biography of the band's leading two figures, you'll find out how they coped with Simon Cowell, the fame game, high profile romances and what lies in store for them as their careers continue to soar.

Following in the tradition of her bestselling Life Is a Verb—a guide to living life more consciously—Patti Digh returns with this deceptively simple gathering of touchstones, Your Daily Rock. With her signature gift of presenting truths in concise heartspeak, she provides short meditations to ground each day in more mindful and intentional living. The three hundred and sixty-six reflections (one for each date, including February 29th), lead readers to open space in their lives in order to love well, live fully, let go deeply, and make a difference.

They're packed with quizzes and puzzles to test your 1D knowledge. There are fun fill-in stories and create-your-own adventures for you to complete, plus eight gorgeous glossy photos to gaze at. Totally amazing!
