Girl online
Girl Online promlouvá vtipným, neotřelým hlasem nové generace teenagerů.
Jde o svěží román plný romantiky a humoru, který se však zároveň zabývá aktuálními problémy, které mladá generace řeší, tedy zneužíváním internetu, kyberšikanou, falešným světem bulváru a pomíjivostí módních celebrit.
Penny má tajemství. Pod přezdívkou Girl Online si začne psát blog o svém každodenním životě – o klucích a kamarádkách, o trablech ve škole i doma, ale také o záchvatech paniky a úzkosti, kterými v poslední době trpí.
Když ji ovšem na školním představení potká ten „největší trapas na světě“ a situace začne být na všech frontách na pováženou, rodiče ji vezmou s sebou na pár dnů do New Yorku. A tam Penny potká Noaha: úžasného charismatického muzikanta, kterému se prostě nedá odolat. A vůbec poprvé v životě se doopravdy zamiluje. A jak jinak (je přece blogerka!), o své pocity se upřímně podělí se všemi čtenářkami svého anonymního blogu.
Jenomže Noah má taky svoje tajemství. A kvůli němu její anonymita na webu jednoho dne praskne jako mýdlová bublina – a v ohrožení se neocitne jenom ona, ale i její vztahy k nejbližším přátelům.

André Milan - Who Am I? CD
Hudobník s afro-kubánskymi koreňmi vyrastal v Montreale, neskôr žil v Toronte, kde študoval jazzovú kompozíciu. V Londýne sa živil klubovým hraním, aby sa po rokoch vrátil do krajiny, odkiaľ pochádza jeho mama - na Slovensko. Debutový album vznikal teda na cestách medzi Kanadou, Londýnom a Slovenskom a Milan sa v ňom vysporiadava so svojim detstvom, nenaplnenými vzťahmi a hľadaním samého seba. V zdanlivo jednoduchých piesňach znie jeho krásny zamatový hlas, ľahko sa dotkne srdca a už nepustí. Folk a soul sa premiešavajú v zaujímavých aranžoch, slohy striedajú refrény a tie zostávajú znieť v ušiach ako povedomá pieseň, vynárajúca sa niekde z hĺbky pamäte. Album si sám nahral aj zaranžoval.

The Man Who Ended War
The Secretary of War of the United States receives a letter sent to his and all other nations, declaring that war has too long devastated the earth and the time has come for peace. It orders them to destroy their weapons of warfare and disband their militaries. The letter ends: "One year from this date will I allow for disarmament and no more. At the end of that time, if no heed has been paid to my injunction, I will destroy, in rapid succession, every battleship in the world. By the happenings of the next two months you shall know that my words are the words of truth." It is signed "The man who will stop all war."The government officials at first dismiss this as a letter from a crank. Then a few battleships vanish, one per week, without a trace. What new technology enables this man to carry out his threat? Can he be found and stopped? Will the major powers of the world agree to disarm or will they blame each other and start a war?Recipe: Take an American investigative reporter, add his science professor friend and the professor's beautiful intelligent sister, throw in some early 20th century quasi-science, some romantic longing, some detective work in London, and a good measure of suspense.

Rolling Stones, The - Hackney Diamonds LP
"The Rolling Stones" je anglická rocková skupina založená v Londýne v roku 1962. Aktívna už viac ako šesť desaťročí, je jednou z najpopulárnejších a najtrvalejších kapiel rockovej éry. Začiatkom 60. rokov boli Rolling Stones priekopníkmi drsného, rytmicky riadeného zvuku, ktorý definoval hard rock. Ich prvú stabilnú zostavu tvorili spevák Mick Jagger, multiinštrumentalista Brian Jones, gitarista Keith Richards, basgitarista Bill Wyman a bubeník Charlie Watts. Počas ich formovania bol Jones hlavným lídrom: zostavil skupinu, pomenoval ju a riadil jej zvuk a imidž. Po tom, čo sa v roku 1963 stal manažérom skupiny Andrew Loog Oldham, povzbudil ich, aby napísali svoje vlastné piesne. Jagger a Richards sa stali primárnou tvorivou silou kapely, čím odcudzili Jonesa, ktorý si vyvinul drogovú závislosť, ktorá zasahovala do jeho schopnosti zmysluplne prispievať. "The Rolling Stones" majú odhadovaný predaj nahrávok na úrovni 200 miliónov, čo z nich robí jedného z najpredávanejších hudobných umelcov všetkých čias. Kapela získala tri ceny Grammy a cenu Grammy za celoživotné dielo. V roku 1989 ich uviedli do Rokenrolovej siene slávy a v roku 2004 do Britskej hudobnej siene slávy. Časopis Billboard a Rolling Stones zaradili skupinu medzi jednu z najväčších všetkých čias.
"The Rolling Stones" vydávajú po osemnástich rokoch nový album. Legendárna kapela The Rolling Stones nevydala nový album od roku 2005. To sa tento rok rozhodli zmeniť a vydávajú album Hackney Diamonds. Pravdepodobne najočakávanejšia nahrávka tohto roku vyjde už 20. októbra a vtedy Mick Jagger, Keith Richards a Ronnie Wood predstavia svetu 12 nových piesní, ktoré nahrávali po celom svete, vrátane preslávených štúdií v Los Angeles, Londýne, na Bahamách alebo v New Yorku.
Exploited, The - Beat The Bastards (Red) 2LP
The Exploited je škótska punk rocková skupina z Edinburghu, ktorú v roku 1978 založili Stevie Ross a Terry Buchan, pričom Buchan čoskoro nahradil jeho brat Wattie Buchan. V marci 1981 podpísali zmluvu s Secret Records a v tom roku boli vydané ich debutové EP Army Life a debutový album Punks Not Dead. Kapela si v 80. rokoch udržala veľký kult medzi hardcore robotníckym punkovým a skinheadským publikom. Pôvodne pouličná punková kapela, The Exploited sa nakoniec po vydaní albumu Death Before Dishonor v roku 1987 stala crossover thrashovou kapelou.
Beat the Bastards je siedmy album, vydaný v roku 1996 prostredníctvom Rough Justice Records.

The American Roommate Experiment
From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martin, who are forced to share a New York apartment.
Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn't told her family and now has terrible writer's block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina's spare key while she's out of town. But Rosie doesn't know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking-for lack of a better word-on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armour. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks.
Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He'll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control-but Lucas's time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.

Girl Abroad
New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy brings her signature angst, drama, and humour to a new standalone romance.
When nineteen-year-old Abbey Bly gets the opportunity to study abroad for a year in London, it's the perfect chance to finally slip out from under the thumb of her beloved but overbearing retired rock star father. She's ready to be free, to discover herself - but first off, to meet the girls she's rooming with. That is, until she arrives at her gorgeous new flat to discover those roommates are actually all boys. Charming, funny, insufferably attractive boys. And off-limits, with a rule against fraternizing between housemates after unwanted drama with the previous girl.
Abbey has never considered herself a rulebreaker. But soon, she's lying to her father about her living situation and falling for not one, but two men she can't have: her rugby-player roommate and a broody musician with a girlfriend. Not to mention, her research for school has gotten her tangled in a deeply hidden scandal of a high nobility family, surrounding her in secrets on all sides.
If there's any hope of Abbey finding love, answers, or a future in London, she'll have to decide which rules - and hearts - might be worth breaking . . .

The Great Gatsby - Velký Gatsby
Anglicko-česká zrcadlová četba pro středně pokročilé. Velký Gatsby je nejslavnějším románem Francise Scotta Fitzgeralda. Příběh se odehrává v New Yorku 20. let minulého století, kdy nečekaná hospodářská prosperita přinesla i ztrátu morálních hodnot. Jay Gatsby se ve snaze získat milovanou dívku dostane do nejvyšších vrstev společnosti, kde je vyhledáván pro své bohatství i tajemství, jež ho obestírá, ale nikdy do ní opravdu nezapadne, neboť pro něj jsou stále nejvyšší hodnotou vztahy mezi lidmi. Gatsbyho tragický konec je absurdním omylem, jako by jen podtrhoval prázdnotu a povrchnost světa bohatých.
The Great Gatsby is the most famous novel by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. The story takes place in New York of 1920s, when unexpected economic prosperity brought about the loss of moral values. Jay Gatsby, trying to get his beloved girl gets into the high society, becoming popular for his richness and mystery that exists around him, but never really fits into it, because human relationships are still the highest value for him. Gatsbys tragic end is an absurd mistake, as if it only emphasizes the emptiness and superficiality of the rich world.

The Obstacle is the Way
Profile Books:
We give up too easily. With a simple change of attitude, what seem like insurmountable obstacles become once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling 'modern Machiavelli' Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands, draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better.
If the competition threatens you, it's time to be fearless, to display your courage. An impossible deadline becomes a chance to show how dedicated you are. And as Ryan discovered as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand is generating controversy - it's also potentially generating publicity.
The Stoic philosophy - that what is in the way, is the way - can be applied to any problem: it's a formula invented more than 2,000 years ago, whose effectiveness has been proven in battles and board rooms ever since. From Barack Obama's ability to overcome obstacles in his election races, to the design of the iPhone, the stoic philosophy has helped its users become world-beaters.

Jemina, the Mountain Girl
Written circa 1917, and published published much later in "Vanity Fair". It was later first published in book form in Tales of the Jazz Age in 1922.Written, like "Tarquin of Cheapside," while I was at Princeton, this sketch was published years later in "Vanity Fair." For its technique I must apologize to Mr. Stephen Leacock.I have laughed over it a great deal, especially when I first wrote it, but I can laugh over it no longer. Still, as other people tell me it is amusing, I include it here. It seems to me worth preserving a few years—at least until the ennui of changing fashions suppresses me, my books, and it together.
