The Nebuly Coat
The Nebuly Coat (1903), by J. Meade Falkner, is a novel which tells of the experiences of a young architect, Edward Westray, who is sent to the remote Dorset town of Cullerne to supervise restoration work on Cullerne Minster. He finds himself caught up in Cullerne life, and hears rumours about a mystery surrounding the claim to the title of Lord Blandamer, whose coat of arms in the Minster's great transept window is the nebuly coat of the title. When the new Lord Blandamer arrives, promising to pay all the costs of the restoration, Westray suspects that the new lord is not what he seems.The Nebuly Coat includes elements that were central interests in Falkner's life, church architecture and heraldry. The massive Romanesque arches of Cullerne Minster recall those of Durham Cathedral which Falkner was familiar with through his work as Honorary Librarian to the Dean and Chapter as well as viewing it from his house on Palace Green.Colerne which has been Cullerne during its history may have been the source of the name of the town and minster.

The Glamourist - A ragyogó
Boszorkány a franciák körözési toplistájának élén.
A századforduló Párizsában gyermekként magára hagyott Yvette Lenoir kétségbeesetten vágyik arra, hogy kiderítse mágikus származását, és felfedezze elfojtott képességeit.
Ám ahhoz, hogy túléljen az utcán, a bátor és leleményes Yvette-nek olyan dolgokat kellett megtennie, ami miatt vérdíjat tűztek a fejére, és szökevénnyé vált. Görcsösen ragaszkodik egy emléktárgyhoz
- egy varázsigés könyvhöz -, amelyről úgy tudja, az anyja hagyta rá, akit sohasem ismert. Hogy múltja titkait feltárja, Yvette egy nőbe veti bizalmát, azt remélve, segít neki megfejteni a könyv bűbájos lapjaira vetett misztikus rejtélyeket.
Elena Boureanu a híres borairól ismert Château Renard fehér boszorkánya.
Bár belemerült a saját vérvonalának felgöngyölítésébe, amely mérgező árnyékot vet a jövőjére, Elena képtelen hátat fordítani szökésben levő barátjának. Egy furfangos tolvaj, egy bűbájos különlegességeket árusító bolt tulajdonosa és egy elvarázsolt fekete macska kíséretében
Elena és Yvette elhatározzák, hogy megfejtik Yvette titokzatos emléktárgyának titkait. De vajon milyen könyörtelen mágiát engednek szabadon ezáltal?
Tudd meg, mit tesznek kockára azért, hogy azzá a boszorkánnyá váljanak, amit a sors kijelölt a számukra!
Mötley Crüe - Shout At The Devil: 40th Anniversary (Deluxe Limited Box) 6LP
Mötley Crüe je americká heavymetalová skupina založená v Hollywoode v Kalifornii v roku 1981. Basgitarista Nikki Sixx a bubeník Tommy Lee sa najprv spojili s gitaristom/hlavným spevákom Gregom Leonom. Ale po nejakom čase Leona nahradil gitarista Mick Mars a hlavný spevák Michael White. Posledne menovaný bol čoskoro nahradený Vinceom Neilom a krátko na to bolo zvolené označenie Mötley Crüe. Skupina predala celosvetovo viac ako 100 miliónov albumov. Dosiahli tiež sedem platinových alebo multiplatinových certifikácií, deväť Top 10 albumov v rebríčku Billboard 200 (vrátane Dr. Feelgood z roku 1989, ktorý je jediným albumom Mötley Crüe, ktorý sa dostal na prvé miesto), dvadsaťdva hitov Top 40 mainstreamového rocku a šesť Top 20 popových singlov. Kapela zažila v priebehu rokov niekoľko zmien v zostave, pričom jediným stálym členom zostal Sixx; tieto zahŕňali predstavenie hlavného vokalistu Johna Corabiho (ktorý bol Neilovým náhradníkom v rokoch 1992 až 1996) a bubeníkov Randyho Castilla a Samanthy Maloneyovej, ktorí obaja nahradili Leeho po jeho odchode z Mötley Crüe v roku 1999; sa do kapely vrátil v roku 2004. V októbri 2022, po 41 rokoch služby, Mars oznámil svoj odchod z koncertovania s kapelou, pričom ho nahradil bývalý gitarista Marilyn Manson a Rob Zombie John 5.
Shout at the Devil je druhý štúdiový album, vydaný 23. septembra 1983 cez Elektra Records. Bol to prelomový album skupiny, vďaka ktorému sa Mötley Crüe stal jedným z najpredávanejších heavymetalových počinov 80. rokov. Single „Looks That Kill“ a „Too Young to Fall in Love“ boli pre kapelu miernymi hitmi.

Temná tajemství
Temná tajemství je inteligentní a strhující příběh, který se čte jedním dechem. Michael Hjorth a Hans Rosenfeldt píší jistou rukou a autoritativním tónem. Připravte se na výjimečný zážitek!Na policejní ústředně zvoní telefon. Šestnáctiletý chlapec Roger zmizel a jeho matka si dělá starosti. Je vyhlášeno pátrání a skupina mladých skautů učiní zanedlouho v bažinách hrůzný nález. Roger Eriksson je mrtvý a někdo mu vyřízl srdce z hrudi. Případ zavražděného Rogera přebírá Oddělení vyšetřování kriminálních činů a využívá nabídky pomoci psychologa Sebastiana Bergmana, jednoho z předních švédských expertů na sériové vrahy. Sebastian se sice po smrti své ženy a dcery při tsunami úplně vzdal policejní práce, ale má své vlastní důvody, proč chce být součástí týmu. Proto se zprvu neochotně, ale postupem doby stále větší měrou podílí na vyšetřování vraždy. Ne všichni z Oddělení jsou však ze Sebastianovy přítomnosti nadšeni. Jeho šovinistické způsoby a drsné chování pramenící z pocitů prázdnoty po ztrátě rodiny hraničí se zastrašováním a narušují harmonii skupiny. I přes interní neshody se týmu vyšetřovatelů podaří zjistit, že všechny stopy vedou jedním směrem — k soukromé škole, kam Roger chodil. Palmlövské gymnázium se na první pohled zdá ideálním prostředím pro mladého chlapce, avšak pod povrchem dřímají temná tajemství.

The Ministry of Common Sense How to Eliminate Bureaucratic Red Tape, Bad Excuses
Where's the common sense? During the COVID-19 pandemic, the TSA is allowing passengers to board planes with unlimited amounts of hand sanitizer, while maintaining its 3.4-ounce limit on all other liquids. You need a chainsaw to pry open your new pair of headphones from their package. Your eighth Zoom meeting of the day keeps freezing, and if you hear "No, wait; no, you go first" again, you will implode. But first you have to sit through an endless PowerPoint presentation that everyone claims they've read - no one has - that could have been summarized in one page.
What has happened to common sense? And how can we get it back? Companies, it seems, have become so entangled in their own internal issues and beset by reams of invisible red tape (and frozen screens) that they've lost sight of their purpose and culture. Inevitably, we pay the price.
New York Times best-selling author Martin Lindstrom combines numerous real-life examples of corporate common sense gone wrong with his own ingenious plan for restoring logic - and sanity - to the companies and people who need it most. A must-read for today's executives, managers, and office workers, The Ministry of Common Sense is funny, entertaining, and immensely practical.
The Lerouge Case
Excerpt:"Those who anticipated the discovery of a crime, were unhappily not deceived. The commissary was convinced of this as soon as he crossed the threshold. Everything in the first room pointed with a sad eloquence to the recent presence of a malefactor. The furniture was knocked about, and a chest of drawers and two large trunks had been forced and broken open."

The Innocent Man
A gripping true-crime story of a shocking miscarriage of justice, from international bestselling thriller author John Grisham.
In the baseball draft of 1971, Ron Williamson was the first player chosen from Oklahoma. Signing with Oakland, he said goodbye to his small home town and left for California to pursue his dreams of glory.
Six years later he was back, his dreams broken by a bad arm and bad habits - drinking, drugs and women. He began to show signs of mental illness. Unable to keep a job, he moved in with his mother and slept 20 hours a day on her sofa.
In 1982, a 21 year-old cocktail waitress, Debra Sue Carter, was raped and murdered, and for five years the crime went unsolved. Finally, desperate for someone to blame, police came to suspect Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with murder.
With no physical evidence, the prosecution's case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence.
Ron Williamson was sent to Death Row.
But as Grisham methodically lays out, there was no case against him. Ron Williamson was wrongly condemned to die.
If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you.
