Knihovna vypůjčených srdcí
Chloe Sampsonová to nemá lehké: stará se o tři mladší sourozence, hledá své pravé já a snaží se vydělat dost na to, aby měli z čeho žít. Už se zdá, že se ocitla v koncích, když ve sklepení knihovny, kde pracuje, najde velmi vzácnou starou knihu. K jejímu úžasu se vzápětí na prahu jejího domu objeví věčně nabručený samotářský soused a nabídne jí za ni doslova majlant. Když si ji Chloe prohlédne podrobněji, zjistí, že si na okrajích stránek dva mladí milenci kdysi nechávali vzkazy.
Chloe nedokáže záhadě odolat a rozhodne se jí přijít na kloub. S nadšením zjišťuje, že to nebyla jediná kniha plná romantických vzkazů. Čím hlouběji se však do dechberoucí honby za pokladem noří, tím víc otázek vyvstává. Co se s těmi nešťastnými milenci stalo? A co to má společného se smutným sousedem, který Chloe a jejím sourozencům teprve nedávno začal otevírat svůj domov i srdce?
Prostřednictvím romantického příběhu, který překonal celá desetiletí, Chloe zjišťuje, že na mrzoutském sousedovi toho bude víc, než je na první pohled zřejmé. A tím, že přijme nečekanou nabídku přátelství, které jí nabídl, dostane zásadní životní lekci: Nejzajímavější příběhy obvykle začínají na těch nejméně pravděpodobných místech.

The Geomagician
'Mary.' Her eyes went wide, lashes fluttering. 'What is that?'
'Well. If I am not mistaken - and I don't think I am - this is a pterodactyl.'
Mary Anning wants to be a geomagician a paleontologist who uses fossils to wield magic but since the Geomagical Society of London refuses to admit women, she s stuck selling her discoveries to tourists instead.

But when Mary contacts the Society about her discovery, they demand to take possession of Ajax.
Their emissary is none other than Henry Stanton, a distinguished (and infuriatingly handsome) scholar... and the man who once broke Mary s heart. She knows she can't trust her fellow scholars, who want to discredit her and claim Ajax for their own, but Henry insists he believes in the brilliant Mary, and only wants to help her obtain the respect she deserves.
Now Mary has a new mystery to solve that's buried deeper than any dinosaur skeleton: She must uncover the secrets behind the Society and the truth about Henry.
As her conscience begins to chafe against her ambition, Mary must decide what lengths she s willing to go to finally belong and what her heart really wants.
Pests & Other Friends
Celebrate the often maligned pests who populate our world in this cheerfully illustrated compendium of the world’s most misunderstood animals. Pests and so-called nuisance animals get a bad rap, but each and every one of them serves a purpose in our ecosystem. In Pests and Other Friends, you will learn how helpful, fascinating, and hilarious these creatures can be! This book explores regions across North America, highlighting specific ecosystems and the animals that draw the ire of the people who live there. From the armadillos in the American Southwest digging holes in backyards, to the sandhill cranes across the Great Plains dining on farmers’ crops, you’ll learn all about these creatures' troublemaking behaviors as well as their benefits to their ecosystems. By delving into the history and diet of each species and the reasons they are considered pests, you’ll never look at pigeons, skunks, or groundhogs in the same way. Mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and the only marsupial in North America, the Virginia opossum, can all be found within these pages. Hopefully, you will be able to appreciate them for what they do for us despite getting into our garbage cans, gardens, and attics.

Sunni Chauvinism and the Roots of Muslim Modernism
Muslim intellectuals who sought to establish the boundaries of modern Muslim identityMuslim modernism was a political and intellectual movement that sought to redefine the relationship between Islam and the colonial West in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Spearheaded by Muslim leaders in Asia and the Middle East, the modernist project arose from a desire to reconcile Islamic beliefs and practices with European ideas of secularism, scientific progress, women’s rights, and democratic representation. Teena Purohit provides innovative readings of the foundational thinkers of Muslim modernism, showing how their calls for unity and reform led to the marginalization of Muslim minority communities that is still with us today. Sunni Chauvinism and the Roots of Muslim Modernism offers fresh perspectives on figures such as Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, Muhammad Abduh, Muhammad Iqbal, and Abul A’la Mawdudi. It sheds light on the exclusionary impulses and Sunni normative biases of modernist Muslim writers and explores how their aim to unite the global Muslim community—which was stagnant and fragmented in their eyes—also created lasting divisions. While modernists claimed to represent all Muslims when they asserted the centrality and significance of unity, they questioned the status of groups such as Ahmadis, Bahais, and the Shia more broadly. Addressing timely questions about religious authority and reform in modern Islam, this incisive book reveals how modernist notions of Islam as a single homogeneous tradition gave rise to enduring debates about who belongs to the Muslim community and who should be excluded.
Beatrice the Sixteenth

Like Mary, the reader will become disoriented, enjoyably so: By avoiding the use of gendered pronouns, the story s author (herself a gender-fluid activist) challenges our assumptions about gendered social paradigms.
