Now I need to master my new vampire powers while avoiding his minions, but that's easier said than done when I barely understand my abilities.But I must master my powers, otherwise I'll lose my freedom—and my soul—forever.

And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?"

Meghan
What an extraordinary journey it has been for Meghan Markle. In this fully revised and updated biography, Andrew Morton navigates the at times baffling twists and turns of a royal saga that has both engaged and enraged those inside and outside the palace walls. It has taken just three short years for Meghan and Harry to be transformed from golden couple to royal outsiders living in a sprawling mansion in Montecito in California and cutting multi-million-dollar deals with media moguls.
From the frothy fun and laughter of her wedding day to darker days and the isolation, loneliness and prejudice she experienced, amplified by what the couple considered to be the sexism and racism of the mass media. Add to that the high and lows of motherhood -the joy of the births of her two beautiful children and the sadness of a miscarriage late into her second pregnancy - it has been nothing less than an emotional rollercoaster.
Morton draws on exclusive interviews with those closest to Meghan to uncover the story of her life, from her fractious childhood growing up in the Valley in LA, through her previous marriage and divorce, her struggles in Hollywood, her work as a humanitarian ambassador, her life as the Duchess of Sussex - and the seemingly bottomless rift that has developed between the Sussexes and the House of Windsor.
The Earned Life
We are living an earned life when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives, regardless of the eventual outcome.
In his most personal and powerful work to date, world-renowned leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith offers a better way to approach fulfilment that goes against everything we're taught about achievement. Taking inspiration from Buddhism, Goldsmith reveals that the key to living the earned life, unbound by regret, requires connecting the habit of earning rewards to something greater than our personal successes.
Goldsmith implores readers to avoid the Great Western Disease of "I'll be happy when...." He offers practical advice and exercises aimed at helping us shed the obstacles that prevent us from creating fulfilling lives. From learning to privilege your future over your present, knowing how to weigh up opportunity and risk accurately, honing your 'one-trick genius' and needing to earn credibility twice, the book is packed with transformative insights and tools that will help readers close the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done-and avoid the trap of existential regret, the kind that reroutes destinies and persecutes our memories.
Full of illuminating stories from Goldsmith's legendary career as a coach to some of the world's highest-achieving leaders and reflections on his own life, The Earned Life is a roadmap for ambitious people seeking a higher purpose.
Mít vše hotovo 2
David Allen vás nenaučí zorganizovat si pracovní úkoly proto, abyste mohli pracovat více. Právě naopak! Zavedením metodologie GTD do vašeho pracovního života zefektivníte práci, získáte volný čas, zbavíte se stresu a zklidníte svoji mysl. Vedlejším účinkem je i zlepšení kvality spánku a vnitřní spokojenosti.
Tato kniha je naprosto jiná, než všechny ostatní knihy o produktivitě. Poprvé vyšla před patnácti lety a za tu dobu se stala fenoménem. O její kvalitě svědčí tři miliony prodaných výtisků ve více než 30 jazycích. Statisíce lidí si díky metodě GTD dokáží naplánovat svůj pracovní i osobní čas a mohou se plnohodnotně věnovat práci, rodině i koníčkům. Tisíce účastníků kurzů a workshopů dále prohloubilo svoji znalost metody natolik, že ji mohli zavést do firem, kde pracují a tyto se tak staly lépe organizovanými a zaměstnanci spokojenějšími.
Toto nové vydání pak zúrocˇuje autorovy 15leté zkušenosti: je rozšírˇené o 150 stran a kompletneˇ prˇepracované.
Podle časopisu TIME je ze všech knih o osobním rozvoji právě Mít vše hotovo jednoznačně nejlepší knihou desetiletí.
Skutečně jsem přepsal původní rukopis knihy, od začátku do konce, prošel jsem a zrevidoval veškerý obsah i jazykové obraty, které byly neúplné, neaktuální nebo se nějakým způsobem příliš nehodily do současné knížky (...). Mojí snahou bylo také zakomponovat do textu to nejdůležitější, co jsem se z metodologie Getting Things Done naučil sám po prvním vydání knihy – neustále se okolo ní různým způsobem 'motám'. Jedna věc se ale na knize měnit vůbec nemusela, a sice její základní principy a techniky.

The Call of Cthulhu
"The Call of Cthulhu" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's best-known short stories. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird Tales, February 1928. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance.It is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far."
