Better Than the Movies
Liz hates her annoyingly attractive neighbour but he's the only in with her long-term crush …
Perpetual daydreamer and hopeless romantic Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he's back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar-and maybe snag him as a prom date-even befriend Wes Bennet.
The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbour might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz's butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz's in.
But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she's shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must re-examine everything she thought she knew about love-and rethink her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like.
Better Than the Movies features quotes from the best-loved rom-coms of cinema and takes you on a rollercoaster of romance that isn't movie-perfect but jaw-dropping and heart-stopping in unexpected ways.
You Have A Match
From the beloved author of Tweet Cute comes Emma Lord's You Have a Match, a hilarious and heartfelt novel of romance, sisterhood, and friendship.
When Abby signs up for a DNA service, it's mainly to support her friend and secret love interest, Leo. After all, she knows who she is already: avid photographer, injury-prone tree climber, best friend to Leo and Connie.
When the DNA service reveals Abby has a secret sister, shimmery-haired Instagram star Savannah Tully, it's hard to believe they're from the same planet, never mind the same parents - especially considering Savannah, queen of green smoothies, is only a year and a half older than Abby herself.
The logical course of action? Meet up at summer camp (obviously) and figure out why Abby's parents gave Savvy up for adoption. But there are complications: Savvy is a rigid rule-follower and total narc. Leo is the camp's co-chef, putting Abby's growing feelings for him on blast. And her parents have a secret that threatens to unravel everything.
But part of life is showing up, leaning in, and learning to fit all your awkward pieces together. Because sometimes, the hardest things can also be the best ones.

Můžu reklamovat svého manžela?
Je normální, že si raději zajdete k zubaři, než abyste trávila čas s manželem, že?
Myslela jsem si, že mám život vyřešený. Jsem kardiochirurg s milujícím partnerem a dvěma nádhernými holčičkami. Až na to, že můj manžel si pod pojmem ‚milující‘ představuje lhaní, podvádění a sexování po celém Londýně. Což znamená, že si rozhodně zasloužím vrácení peněz.
Ale teď když jsem svobodná, jsem připravená být zase zadaná? Je tu pár drobných problémů:
1) Naposledy jsem šla na rande, když byl v módě džínový look a moje obočí bylo prakticky celé vytrhané
2) Muži teď nosí směšně úzké džíny.
3) Neumím používat seznamovací aplikace, ale aspoň se nemusím převlékat z pyžama.
4) Tou nejslibnější věcí, kterou s chlapem máte společnou, může být láska ke krevetám.
5) Nevím, jestli mám rande zahájit pozdravem ‚ahoj‘, ‚čau‘, nebo ‚nazdárek‘
Říká se, že všechno se děje z nějakého důvodu. V moři je spousta dalších ryb. Ale co se stane, když se vám všechno rozpadne a vy nemáte ponětí ani jak správně nahodit?

Meet Me at the Surface
Everything that comes from the ground has to go back down... eventually
Merryn grew up on the wilds of Bodmin moor, raised by her mother and her aunt in an old farmhouse. Here, the locals never leave the village, fear for the future of their farms and cling desperately to the folkloric tales that are woven into their history. Except Merryn, who has escaped to Manchester for university, briefly untethering herself from her past.
When Merryn returns home for the memorial service of her ex-girlfriend Claud, she finds her childhood home stranger and more secretive than ever. She's sure that her mother is hiding something. The villagers are hunting on the moors at night, but for what? And then there's a notebook, found in an old chest of drawers, full of long-forgotten folklore that seems to be linked somehow to Claud...
Man meets Woman
Imagine a setting in which a man wearing a dress might be as habitual as a woman in trousers. Where a woman exposing herself in public wasn't sexy, but as creepy as a male flasher. Where professional status and success presented the same prospects for both sexes.
In this volume in her series for TASCHEN, leading graphic designer Yang Liu tackles one of the hottest, and one of the oldest, topics of all: he and she. Drawing on the experiences, challenges, and many perspectives on men and women she has encountered in her own life, Yang Liu distills the vast, swirling question of gender into bold, binary pictograms.
Dealing with a whole host of situations from the bedroom to the boardroom, Yang Liu's designs are as simple and accessible in their presentation as they are infinite in the associations, evocations, and responses they elicit. Combining age-old stereotypes with topical discrepancies, this fresh approach to the roles and relationships of men and women is, above all, an effort to synthesize a notoriously thorny issue into a fun and refreshing graphic form, and thus to lighten and enlighten our mutual understanding and tolerance.
The Last Bloodcarver
Nhika is a bloodcarver. She has the power to alter human biology - to heal or to harm with just a touch. In Theumas, Nhika is seen as a monster who kills for pleasure, and her gift is highly prized in the city's criminal underworld. When Nhika is finally captured, she is sold to the highest bidder - an aristocratic girl dressed in white. But her mysterious buyer is not looking for an assassin. She needs Nhika to heal the only witness to her father's murder. Nhika vows to hunt down the killer and all signs point to Ven Kochin, an alluring yet entitled physician's aide. Despite Kochin's relentless attempts to push her away, Nikha can't help feeling drawn into his opulent world. But she soon finds herself in a fight for her life - and for the future of her own kind.
Tokijský ghúl: re 3
Operace protighúlí jednotky se změnila v masakr, když se proti bojovníkům postavili ghúlové z Aogiri. Vítězství jednotek je více než nejisté a vyšetřovatel Tóru Mucuki se musí dostat z týlu nepřítele. Jeho jedinou pomocí je Kuki Urie, jehož zajímá pouze to, jak co nejrychleji dosáhnout dalšího povýšení. To není moc dobrá situace…
Diego Rivera
Diego Rivera is celebrated by Gerry Souter as a virtuoso Mexican muralist, where he could express at once his legend and myths, his technical talent, his intense story-telling focus and self-indulgent ideological convictions. His easel paintings and drawings also constitute a large body of both his early and late work and are represented in the book. Gerry Souter, the author of the remarkable Frida Kahlo, overcomes his huge admiration for Diego Rivera to give the artist a human dimension, found in his political choices, his love affairs and his belief that this truth was Mexico, the language of his thoughts, the blood in his veins, the azure sky above his resting place.

Žena s divokým srdcom
Každý deň v živote bojujeme, snažíme sa hľadať slobodu, radosť a cieľ života. Čo ak nenájdeme riešenie v tom, že sa budeme snažiť viac alebo že sa budeme snažiť byť lepšie? Čo ak je riešením to, že jednoducho prijmeme ženu s divokým srdcom, ktorá už žije v našom vnútri? Žena s divokým srdcom sa pozrie životu priamo do tváre a povie: „Nemôžeš ma poraziť.“ Žije naplno a miluje odvážne. Nikdy sa nevzdáva. Odváži sa byť taká, aká je – nedokonalá a milovaná. Holley Gerth, autorka bestsellerov a duchovná poradkyňa, povzbudzuje ženy v tejto svojej najosobnejšej a najsilnejšej z kníh, ktoré napísala. Povzbudzuje ženy tým, že im hovorí „ako na to“, ale aj tým, že pridáva svoje život meniace a srdce oslobodzujúce vyznanie: „ja tiež“. Pridajte sa k Holley na tejto ceste, aby ste sa aj vy stali ženou s divokým srdcom, a objavte to, čo už objavila aj ona: slobodu a odvahu prijať život, lásku a vieru naplno, pretože vaše boje vás už viac nemôžu zastaviť. Strach nedokáže zničiť to, na čo už nedosiahne. Kniha Žena s divokým srdcom vás povedie na miesta s Pánom, kde sa naučíte prijať jedinečnú odvahu, ktorú do vás vložil! – LYSA TERKEURST, autorka New York Times bestsellerov a prezidentka Proverbs 31 Ministries.
Väčšina z nás si vyčíta svoje slabosti, no Holley nám vo svojej knihe pripomína, že vďaka Kristovi sme silnejšie, ako si myslíme. – SUSIE LARSON, rozhlasová moderátorka, národná rečníčka a autorka knihy Your Powerful Prayers ( Tvoje mocné modlitby )
Táto kniha je jednoducho ohromujúca, úžasná, plná víťazstiev. Keď som ju čítala, nechcela som, aby skončila. ANN VOSKAMP, autorka New York Times bestsellerov The Broken Way (Zlomená cesta) a One Thousand Gifts (Tisíc darov)

The Voyage of the Forgotten
For readers who love the intrigue and widening scope of epic fantasy like Sanderson's Mistborn and Week's The Black Prism, this is your next must-read fantasy series.
Michael Kingman has discovered his destiny, but the distance to what he wants, namely a life with Serena, the queen of Hollow kingdom, is as wide as the world, and just as cruel.
Meanwhile, Dark, the realm's most fearsome mercenary, Michael's sometime mentor, and son of his nemesis, Angelo, is trying to keep Michael in line, for his own purposes as he too has a hidden agenda. Michael comes to realize that he is outclassed by powers that have been working for centuries to bring about a fresh end to the world filled with those he loves. But when has merely being overpowered ever stopped Michael from getting what he wants?
To prevent what may bring about the end times Michael must gather his remaining allies and push himself to achieve the impossible because the alternative is worse than he can imagine: it's not just the beginning of the end of the world, it's being alone and forgotten.
In this epic conclusion, The Voyage of the Forgotten brilliantly wraps up the stories fans have fallen in love with as the characters struggle against odds that seem impossible to overcome.

Democracy Rules
One of our most essential political thinkers offers a vital account of democracy in the twenty-first century
Everyone knows that democracy is in trouble, but do we know what democracy actually is? Political philosopher Jan-Werner Muller, author of the widely acclaimed What Is Populism?, takes us back to basics.
In this short, elegant volume, he explains how democracy is founded on three vital principles: liberty, equality, and also uncertainty. The latter, he argues, is crucial for ensuring democracy's dynamic and creative character. Authoritarians, as well as Big Tech, seek to render politics (and individual citizens) predictable; democracy holds open the possibility that new ideas, movements and identities can be created.
Acknowledging fully the dangers posed by populism, by kleptocratic autocracies like Russia's and by the digital authoritarianism of Xi, Muller also challenges the assumptions made by many liberals defending democracy in recent years. He shows how the secession of plutocratic elites in the West has undermined much of democracy's promise. In response, we need to re-invigorate our institutions, especially political parties and professional media, but also make it easier for citizens to mobilize.
Taking on many of the most difficult political questions we face, this book is a vital rethinking of what democracy is, and how we can reinvent our social contract.
Within Temptation - Bleed Out (3D Lenticulair) CD
Within Temptation je holandská symfonická metalová skupina založená v apríli 1996 vokalistkou Sharon den Adel a gitaristom Robertom Westerholtom. Kritici ich klasifikovali ako gothic metal a symfonický metal, hoci každý album obsahuje iné vplyvy mimo týchto žánrov. Ich najvýznamnejší a najznámejší zvuk je opísaný ako symfonický metal, hoci ich skorší materiál, ako napríklad debutový album Enter, bol väčšinou gothic metal, s Enterom tiež náznak doom metalu. Den Adel v rozhovore povedal, že spadali do žánru symfonického rocku s rôznymi vplyvmi. V inom rozhovore, den Adel uviedol, že "Považujeme sa skôr za atmosférickú melodickú symfonickú metalovú/rockovú kapelu... Podľa mňa nie sme gotická kapela, ale máme gotické prvky".
Within Temptation sa chystá zaujať fanúšikov svojim 8. štúdiovým albumom Bleed Out 20. októbra 2023. Táto nahrávka znamená pre kapelu odvážny skok vpred: od „djenty“ riffov až po melódie zobrazujúce naše symfonické metalové korene, s Bleed Out Within Temptation vytvorili zvukovú cestu, ktorá prináša fúziu rôznych hudobných štýlov a podnetných tém. Holandskí metalisti, ktorí odrážajú búrlivý stav sveta, čerpali inšpiráciu z udalostí ako vražda Mahsa Amini v Iráne a vojna na Ukrajine. Sharon: "Vojna na Ukrajine nás veľmi ovplyvnila. Ako umelci sme inšpirovaní svetom a máme túto platformu. Sme rozprávači a myslím si, že ako ľudské bytosti by sme mali o týchto veciach hovoriť."
