The Last Black Unicorn
From stand-up comedian, actress, and breakout star of Girls Trip, Tiffany Haddish, comes The Last Black Unicorn, a sidesplitting, hysterical, edgy, and unflinching collection of (extremely) personal essays, as fearless as the author herself.
Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that, then her classmates would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn't beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money-as the paid school mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman-to get her hair and nails done, so then she might get a boyfriend.
None of that worked (and she's still single), but it allowed Tiffany to imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy.
Tiffany can't avoid being funny-it's just who she is, whether she's plotting shocking, jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite still having a broke person's mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name, she recounts with heart and humor how she came from nothing and nowhere to achieve her dreams by owning, sharing, and using her pain to heal others.
By turns hilarious, filthy, and brutally honest, The Last Black Unicorn shows the world who Tiffany Haddish really is-humble, grateful, down-to-earth, and funny as hell. And now, she's ready to inspire others through the power of laughter.
Painted House
The hill people and the Mexicans arrived on the same day. It was a Wednesday, early in September 1952. The Cardinals were five games behind the Dodgers with two weeks to go, and the season looked hopeless. The cotton, however, was waist high to my father, almost over my head, and he and my grandfather could be heard before supper whispering words that were seldom heard. It could be a good crop." Thus begins the new novel from John Grisham, a story inspired by his own childhood in rural Arkansas. The narrator is a farm boy named Luke Chandler, age seven, who lives in the cotton fields with his parents and grandparents in a little house that's never been painted. The Chandlers farm eighty acres that they rent, not own, and when the cotton is ready they hire a truckload of Mexicans and a family from the Ozarks to help harvest it. For six weeks, they pick cotton, battling the heat, the rain, the fatigue, and sometimes, each other. As the weeks pass Luke sees and hears things no seven year old could possibly be prepared for, and finds himself keeping secrets that not only threaten the crop but will change the lives of the Chandlers forever. "A Painted House" is a moving story of one boy's journey from innocence to experience."

The Trio
Elegant, mature and richly atmospheric, a bittersweet love story glimpsed through the veil of memory
Thora, August and Hugo come from different worlds. One is an art school dreamer, one a wealthy scion of the old-world elite, and one an ordinary boy from out of town. But over the course of two sky-blue summers in Stockholm, they are drawn together magnetically.
Years later, Hugo is long estranged from Thora and August when their daughter knocks on his door. She has questions about her parents which she believes Hugo can answer - and the memories of those luminous days of youth come flooding back.
Modern yet timeless, poignant and euphoric, The Trio is a novel about the path not taken, the people we might have become, and the relationships which shape and haunt us long after they come to a close.
The Power of the Dog
Discover Thomas Savage's dark poetic tale of a small town in early 20th century American that inspired the Golden Globe winning film.
Phil and George are brothers and joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley.
Phil is the bright one, George the plodder. Phil is tall and angular; George is stocky and silent. Phil is a brilliant chess player, a voracious reader, an eloquent storyteller; George learns slowly, and devotes himself to the business. They sleep in the room they shared as boys, and so it has been for forty years.
When George unexpectedly marries a young widow and brings her to live at the ranch, Phil begins a relentless campaign to destroy his brother's new wife. But he reckons without an unlikely protector.
From its visceral first paragraph to its devastating twist of an ending, The Power of the Dog will hold you in its grip.

Come for the sun-drenched escapism, stay for the satirical swipes and bad behaviour, this page-turning treat of a novel will be on every deckchair come publication.
Every summer, from Memorial Day until Labour Day, privileged New Yorkers flock to second homes on Fire Island trailing children, nannies and picnic baskets. They exchange busy jobs and city lives for gossip, tennis and adultery, and this summer sets out to be no different - until a body is discovered by the side of the boardwalk.
As the summer goes on, cracks begin to show between the perfect couples and their perfect lives. None of them would admit to being particularly good. But who among them is actually capable of murder?

Anatomy: A Love Story
Edinburgh, 1817.
Hazel Sinnett is a lady who wants to be a surgeon more than she wants to marry.
Jack Currer is a resurrection man who's just trying to survive in a city where it's too easy to die.
When the two of them have a chance encounter outside the Edinburgh Anatomist's Society, Hazel thinks nothing of it at first. But after she gets kicked out of renowned surgeon Dr. Beecham's lectures for being the wrong gender, she realizes that her new acquaintance might be more helpful than she first thought. Because Hazel has made a deal with Dr. Beecham: if she can pass the medical examination on her own, Beecham will allow her to continue her medical career. Without official lessons, though, Hazel will need more than just her books - she'll need corpses to study.
Lucky that she's made the acquaintance of someone who digs them up for a living.
But Jack has his own problems: strange men have been seen skulking around cemeteries, his friends are disappearing off the streets, and the dreaded Roman Fever, which wiped out thousands a few years ago, is back with a vengeance. Nobody important cares - until Hazel.
Now, Hazel and Jack must work together to uncover the secrets buried not just in unmarked graves, but in the very heart of Edinburgh society.
Jethro Tull - Rökflöte LP
Jethro Tull je britská rocková skupina založená v roku 1967, reprezentuje folk-rock, progresívny rock a hard rock. Názov skupiny je odvodený od mena a priezviska anglického agronóma žijúceho na prelome 17. a 18. storočia. Zloženie skupiny sa počas rokov menilo, ale pilierom, ktorý určoval jej umeleckú podobu, zostával celý čas extravagantný líder flautista Ian Anderson, ktorý ovládal niekoľko nástrojov na čele s priečnou flautou, ale aj gajdy, mandolínu a gitaru. Ian si obliekal šašovské farebné kostýmy, štylizoval sa do úlohy starca, krepčil na pódiu na jednej nohe a svojou originálnou inšpiráciou stredovekým folklórom získal rešpekt odborníkov. Pre skupinu je typická rytmická hra na bicie, basovú gitaru, gitary, klávesové nástroje, sporadicky hrané melodické riffy, spojené s vybrujúcim zvukom flauty a charakteristickým spevom Iana Andersona.
Texty piesní sú veľmi poetické, často ironické a provokujúce.
"RökFlöte" je 23. štúdiový album, ktorý vychádza 21. apríla 2023. Nasledovník The Zealot Gene, toto je najkratšia medzera medzi štúdiovými albumami Jethro Tull od roku 1980.

Strážkyňa kryštálov - Ohnivý Fénix
Strážkyňa krištáľov Dobrodružné príbehy plné fantázie, tajomstva a čarovných svetov, kde ľudia môžu komunikovať s jednorožcami, tigrami, drakmi aj inými tvormi. Eva nemá tušenie, prečo je práve ona vrhaná do neznámych svetov a ako zachrániť ich obyvateľov. Aké tajomstvo sa skrýva za magickou silou krištáľov? A čo ich energiu spája s Evou? OHNIVÝ FÉNIX Pri prehliadke starého obchodu so starožitnosťami narazí Eva na malú krištáľovú sošku fénixa. Kým si uvedomí, o čo ide, dotkne sa jej – a razom sa ocitne v rozbúrenej rieke, ktorá uháňa k strmému vodopádu. Už je to tu zas! Oskar s Evou sa ponoria do nepreniknuteľnej džungle Griffidu, kde vládnu tigre a kde každý krok môže byť tým posledným. Nebo je však temné a džungľa je v ohrození, rovnako ako všetci, ktorí ju obývajú. Dokážu Eva s Oskarom priviesť späť slnečné svetlo, ktoré zachráni Griffid a jeho vzácnych obyvateľov?
