Randění s mrzoutem
Nathan Sanders nemá pověst největšího mrzouta hokejového týmu pro nic za nic. Když tedy Summer Callahanová vtančí do jeho života, rozdává sexy úsměvy a šíří kolem sebe nekonečný šarm, zareaguje jako vždycky: naprosto ji ignoruje.
Jenže Summer tenhle nevrlý obránce fascinuje, a když si virální příspěvek na sociálních sítích vyžádá, aby vystupovala jako jeho přítelkyně, nemusí ji Nathan moc přemlouvat. Je přesvědčená, že nejtvrdší slupka často skrývá nejměkčí jádro, a je rozhodnutá to dokázat.
Ale Nathan se nedá rozlousknout tak snadno. Přes očividné vzájemné jiskření dává jasně najevo, že o vztah – žádný vztah – nemá zájem. Čím déle však oba předstírají, tím je všechno skutečnější a Summer je víc a víc zamilovaná.
Může jen doufat, že jejich předstíraný vztah neskončí opravdovým milostným zklamáním.

Carolyn
Az emberek úgy táncolnak, ahogy én fütyülök. Aztán találkozom William Maltóval, a híres rocksztárral. Átlát rajtam, és könnyedén kijátszik. Irritáló az arroganciája! Ugyanakkor szükségem van rá, hogy kiszedjek belőle egy mocskos titkot, és ezzel a pletykaoldalam még több emberhez elérjen.
Azt hiszi, bárkit megkaphat, de nem tudja, kivel kezdett.
Szerencse, hogy háborúban mindent szabad.

Enyém a világ. A semmiből küzdöttem fel magam a tetejére. És ott is akarok maradni. Azonban egy nevenincs újságíró rám akaszkodik, a maradék ép idegszálaimon táncol, és fogalma sincs róla, hol vannak a határok. Amit akar, azt eléri.
Pont úgy, ahogy én. És én őt akarom.
Le fogom győzni...

Marcus Aurelius - Stoický císař
Tento románový životopis oživuje odkaz Marka Aurelia (121–180 n. l.) pro novou generaci čtenářů skrze zkoumání císařovy fascinující psychologické cesty. Donald J. Robertson zkoumá Markovy vztahy s klíčovými postavami jeho života, jako byla jeho matka Domitia Lucilla a císař Hadrián, a také s jeho stoickými učiteli. Hojně čerpá z Markových Hovorů k sobě a korespondence a zkoumá císařovo jednání, jak je podrobně popsáno v Historia Augusta dalších antických textech.
Marcus Aurelius se snažil sladit svou filozofii a morální hodnoty s politickými tlaky, kterým čelil jako císař na vrcholu římské moci. Robertson zkoumá Markův postoj k otroctví a morální dilema, které představovalo zajetí nepřátel ve válce, jeho postoj k ženám, roli stoicismu při utváření jeho reakce na hrozbu občanské války, zacházení s křesťany za jeho vlády a jmenování jeho nechvalně známého syna Commoda jeho nástupcem.
V celém tomto díle jsou k osvětlení císařovy mysli – jeho charakteru, hodnot a motivů – použity Hovory k sobě, přičemž Robertson obratně proplétá Markovu vnitřní cestu jako filozofa s vnějšími událostmi jeho života římského císaře.

The Jasad Crown
Held deep in a mountain refuge, Sylvia has been captured by the Urabi, who believe she can return their homeland to its former power. But after years of denying her legacy and a forbidden alliance with Jasad's greatest enemy, Sylvia must win the group's trust while struggling to keep control of both her magic and her mind.
In the rival kingdom, Arin is caught between his father's desire to put down the brewing rebellion and the sacred edicts he's sworn to uphold. Arin must find Sylvia before his father's army, but his search will call into question the very core of Arin's beliefs about his family and the destruction of Jasad.
War is inevitable and Sylvia cannot abandon her people again. The Urabi plan to raise the Jasadi fortress, and it will either kill Sylvia or destroy the humanity she's fought so hard to protect. For the first time in her life Sylvia doesn't just want to survive. She wants to win.
The fugitive queen is ready to come home.
The Night We Met
In everyone's life, there's a split-second decision that can change everything . . .
For Larissa, it came when choosing which guy to ride home with after a concert. That night, she had no idea she'd met the perfect man. She and Chris are great together, co-parenting a slightly unhinged rescue Yorkie, sharing their favourite books, and judging bread (pumpernickel for the win!). For the first time amid all her side hustles to scrape by, things finally feel easy.
But Chris isn't the one who drove Larissa home all those months ago - Chris is her boyfriend's best friend. All Chris wants is for Larissa to be happy. Standing by on the sidelines is slowly killing him, but making a move would destroy someone else. And he's just not that guy.

Cottagecore Gardens
A home does not end at its doorsteps. Cottagecore Gardens picks up where Cottagecore left off, shifting from interiors to the outdoor spaces that frame and sustain them. Courtyards, edible plots, meadows, and off-grid enclaves reveal a logic shaped by time and care rather than design rules. Loose borders and self-seeded paths speak to gardens that evolve with time and use. Together they embody a broader cultural turn toward slower, more intentional living, where the garden becomes refuge, resource, and extension of home.
Why Does Everybody Hate Me
Your boss asked you for a chat, and you just knew you were going to be fired.
You didn't sleep all weekend, and you weren't fired.
Someone answered your message with a thumbs-up emoji and you just knew they hated you. So you stopped talking to them, they eventually stopped texting, and now you miss them like crazy.
Someone went for a bathroom break mid-film, and you just knew it's because they think your taste in films is terrible.
You were so upset you missed the rest of the film, and they left early.
Rejection is physically painful for you. Even the most minor criticism stings. And why wouldn't it? By the time you were 12, you'd received 20,000 negative messages about yourself, your brain and your unique ADHD way of living life.
20,000.
Alex Partridge knows how it feels to live with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), the state of emotional dysregulation experienced by almost everyone with ADHD. Throughout his journey from successful entrepreneur to neurodiversity campaigner and host of the hugely successful ADHD Chatter, Alex has been haunted by the fear of rejection, labelled 'over-sensitive', and fought constantly against the desire to people-please and protect himself from emotional harm.
In Why Does Everybody Hate Me? Alex draws on his own experience of RSD, and shares how it's coloured every aspect of his life, from his days as founder of the global social media content brands UniLad and LadBible, to his adult relationships, his mental health struggles and his terrible imposter syndrome. He'll use the insights he's gained from the world's top experts on ADHD to share with you some simple steps to regaining your boundaries, your confidence and your self-belief.
You are not 'too sensitive' - nor are you broken. You were always enough.

Starside
Hundreds of years ago, a brutal war split a land in two. Starside is the realm of magic and immortals -the descendants of the gods, living in a power-rich paradise. Stormside is where mortals fight for scraps of that magic.
Every fifty years, the gates between them open, and fifty challengers are allowed to journey across Starside on a deadly quest to access a pool of magic that can heal, grant wealth, or extend life.
Everyone has their reasons for entering, but Aris has only one: vengeance. As a child, a goddess set fire to her village, killing her family. Aris isn't after the gods' magic - she's going to kill them.
First, she must survive the Culling, the king's deadly competition to choose his fifty challengers.
An orphaned blacksmith's apprentice, Aris doesn't have the superior weapons of the heirs from the Great Houses. But the greatest swords - ones that contain power - are not inherited or bought, they are claimed, by both sides. And when Aris claims a great sword, it makes her not just a real competitor - but a target.
Getting past the gates is only the beginning.
Starside is deadlier than it seems. If the ancient creatures, magic-wielding beasts, and bloodthirsty immortals weren't dangerous enough, a new peril has even immortals fearing what rises from the ground at night. With a blade most would kill to claim, Aris can't trust anyone.
Especially not Harlan Raker, the merciless and mysterious king's guard who betrayed her years ago - and who may now be the key to her survival.
But Aris is hiding a secret tied to her family's death. And when it's revealed, not even the gods will be able to stop what's coming...

The Difference Place Makes
How do places shape peacebuilding interventions? Put simply, they are eventful. Geographers have long argued that places are constituted by relations with the wider world, relations that are always in flux. In this theoretically and empirically innovative book Adam Moore argues that the inverse is also true: places are of generative of relations. People and institutions are constituted by their relations with places, relations that extend beyond a particular place in question itself. Drawing on relational and processual perspectives across the social sciences, Moore analyzes the effects that an infamous black market in postwar Bosnia—the Arizona market—had on peacebuilding projects and actors, and sociopolitical relations across the country more generally. Through encounters with, and narratives about, the market, the relations and politics of various actors in Bosnia at the time—from the UN to ordinary citizens—were transformed. Arizona's effects also radiated across time and space, even after it was dismantled, influencing political and social relations in Bosnia and further afield up to the present day. Bringing together scholarship in geography and peace and conflict studies, this book is a must-read for both fields and beyond.
Bird, Nest & Egg
This book is meticulously designed as a large-format visual portfolio of the world s most distinctive birds, whose nesting behavior and natural beauty are celebrated in beautifully detailed graphite and watercolor illustrations all based on actual field studies. The exquisitely detailed bird, nest, and egg portraits are framed by details that include building techniques, materials, egg characteristics (shapes, colors, and number in a clutch), hatchlings and chicks, and parenting behaviors. Nowhere is avian ingenuity more beautifully expressed than in the construction of nests. The book is organized into chapters based on species nesting techniques: South America s crested oropendola, whose intricate, pendulous, sphere-like nests hang in trees like holiday ornaments; Arizona s ferruginous pygmy owl, whose nests are hidden in vicious yet protective thorns and bristles of giant saguaro cacti; and peregrine falcons, who scrape out a shallow depression called an eyrie in the sides of cliffs or in urban settings ledges on skyscrapers. This beautiful book celebrates the very idea of making a warm, cozy home. It is also a timely reminder of the diversity, beauty, and ingenuity of the avian world.
The Killer in the House
In this chilling domestic thriller debut, a young woman working as a housekeeper—for the subject of a trending true crime podcast—finds herself in a deadly mess when the truth catches up to the hype. Renee Beale is done settling for dead-end jobs and living on her parents’ tree farm in rural Virginia. But just as her life starts to look up, personal tragedy knocks her back down. Desperate for an escape, her only prospect is working for a wealthy Richmond couple with a deadly backstory. Ed Weatherup is a family man, successful, and the perfect employer—except for the fact that he may quite possibly be a murderer. He served five years for his wife’s death before the Innocent Blood podcast helped overturn his conviction. Now he’s back home with his second wife and blended family, vowing publicly to find the real killer. With her past coming to collect, Renee has no choice but to become the Weatherups’ new housekeeper. Suddenly privy to their family secrets and furtive phone calls, she turns to the podcast to learn more about her mysterious employers. But the details don’t add up. And the closer Renee gets to the truth, the more sure she becomes that the killer will strike again.
Complete Deer Stalker
Deer stalking entails much more than walking the countryside with a rifle; there is a great deal to be considered prior to lacing boots and donning a green fleece. It is often said that the real work starts after the trigger has been squeezed. This book looks at all aspects of the pursuit, with clear explanations accompanied by advice, images and anecdotes. In addition, there is a unique reference chapter of all potential conditions a deer may suffer from, with full descriptions and images, and advice on suitability for entering the food chain. Specific coverage includes: laws, leases and making a start obtaining an FAC: the necessary equipment in this technological age; deer species, with identifying images; deer senses and how they shape our approach to them; shot placement and maximum shooting distances; the importance of bullet design and its effect on the carcass; stalking activities by month through the year; after the stalk - sticking, initial evisceration, inspection and recovery; at the larder - hygiene, and who needs to register as a food business and finally, inspecting the carcass, with a library of images showing conditions.
Sexual Heresies
Thinking about relationships between religion and sexuality usually focuses on what religion has to say about sex. But new ideas about sex could also transform religion itself. In Britain at the end of the nineteenth century, the new sexual sciences—from anthropological accounts of religion as rooted in ancient fertility cults to psychoanalytic theories that explained religious experience in terms of psychosexual development—characterized religion as closely connected to the sexual. The outcome, as Joy Dixon traces in this book, was a new sense that religion itself could be sexually suspect. One result of that new suspicion was an increasing concern to police "sexual heresies" and to produce a supposedly normal (healthy, monogamous, and heterosexual) religiosity. The overall effect was a narrowing of the sexual possibilities inside "orthodox" religion and the increasing association of alternative forms of religion with dissident and marginal sexualities that continues to shape both religion and secularism today. Considering a wide range of materials emerging from a diverse array of British society, from modernist theologians and practitioners of sexual magic to conservative Christians and radical freethinkers, this book emphasizes the dynamic relationships between the histories of religion and of sexuality and the historical contingency of the categories we have used to understand the relationship between the two.

The Enchanted April
''To Those who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine. Small medieval castle on the shores of the Mediterranean to be let For the month of April, above a bay on the Italian Riviera.''Four very different women--the dishevelled and downtrodden Mrs Wilkins, the sad, sweet-faced Mrs Arbuthnot, the formidable widow Mrs Fisher, and the ravishing socialite Lady Caroline Dester--are drawn to the shores of the Mediterranean that April. As each, in turn, blossoms in the warmth of the Italian spring and finds their spirits stirring, quite unexpected changes occur.The Enchanted April (1922) is a deceptive and timely novel immured in a post-war context, a period noted for its wistful and sometimes satiric writings. Von Arnim''s novel is part of this oeuvre and portrays an escape to a carefully described pastoral enclave away from encroaching urbanisation and the spread of new technologies, in an era when the Great War had left many emotionally and physically starved. The journey to San Salvatore by four unhappy women is an escape from stifling parochialism, constraining social and gendered expectations as well as stultifying insularity, but the evocation of an extraordinarily aesthetic and ''enchanted'' location suggests more than personal recuperation.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
