The Do-Over
In this riotous young adult romp for fans of Recommended for You and A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, a teen girl has the worst Valentine's Day ever-only to relive it over and over again.
After living through a dumpster fire of a Valentine's Day, Emilie Hornby escapes to her grandmother's house for some comfort and a consolation pint of Ben & Jerry's. She passes out on the couch, but when she wakes up, she's back home in her own bed-and it's Valentine's Day all over again. And the next day? Another nightmare V-Day.
Emilie is stuck in some sort of time loop nightmare that she can't wake up from as she re-watches her boyfriend, Josh, cheat on her day after day. In addition to Josh's recurring infidelity, Emilie can't get away from the enigmatic Nick, who she keeps running into-sometimes literally-in unfortunate ways.
How many days can one girl passively watch her life go up in flames? And when something good starts to come out of these terrible days, what happens when the universe stops doling out do-overs?
The Story of a Nodding Donkey
From the "Make Believe Stories":The Nodding Donkey dated his birth from the day he received the beautiful coat of varnish in the workshop of Santa Claus at the North Pole. Before that he was just some pieces of wood, glued together. His head was not glued on, however, but was fastened in such a manner that with the least motion the Donkey could nod it up and down, and also sidewise.It is not every wooden donkey who is able to nod his head in as many ways as could the Donkey about whom I am going to tell you. This Nodding Donkey was an especially fine toy, and, as has been said, his first birthday was that on which he received such a bright, shiny coat of varnish.

A Thief in the Night

The Education of Henry Adams
The Education of Henry Adams records the struggle of Bostonian Henry Adams (1838-1918), in early old age, to come to terms with the dawning 20th century, so different from the world of his youth. It is also a sharp critique of 19th century educational theory and practice. In 1907, Adams began privately circulating copies of a limited edition printed at his own expense. Commercial publication had to await its author's 1918 death, whereupon it won the 1919 Pulitzer Prize.

Las formaciones parasintéticas en el espanol moderno (1726–1904)
Parasyntéza představuje zvláštní a lingvisty polemizovaný mechanismus tvoření slov, jak ze synchronního tak z diachronního hlediska. Proto kromě detekce a identifikace parasyntetických neologismů v tzv. moderní španělštině navrhuje autorka ve své monografii model, který v dané otázce skýtá koherentní přístup. Opírá se o nedávné teorie formulované z pohledu paradigmatické morfologie a teorie lexikální motivace. Na základě těchto dvou teorií vyvinula model paradigmatické organizace lexika. Tento model bere v úvahu vliv cizích jazyků spolu s mimojazykovými faktory a zároveň také představuje lexikum jako komplexní síť paradigmat a vztahů vzniklých uvnitř paradigmat a mezi těmito paradigmaty. Analýza autorky ukazuje, že neologismy mohou být výsledkem vzájemné spolupráce tří základních vztahů (motivací): intralingvistické, interlingvistické a nadstavbové motivace.
