Power of Habit
In "The Power of Habit", award-winning "New York Times" business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation's largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death. At its core, "The Power of Habit" contains an exhilarating argument: the key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.
The Grip of Film
Gordy LaSure's passionate about film. He eats film, he drinks film, and sometimes he'll even watch a film. But most of all he loves talking to people about film: whether a comely student with low confidence and a father complex, a Studio 'development' exec who doesn't trust his own judgement, or the countless people Gordy LaSure's encountered in his capacity as the web moderator on an Excessive Sweating Discussion Forum.
Gordy LaSure's alwaystalking about films and how they'd be a shit ton better if only people would pull their asses out of their ears and listen to Gordy LaSure. The voyage of this book can be categorised as an attempt to understand How In Hell Film Works. Why are some films bad, and some films terrible?How come just a handful of films (Titanic, Porky's, Dirty Harry) areany good at all? Gordy'll tell you How and Why, and he'll give you a slug of Wherefore on the side.
And he doesn't shoot from the hip; he shoots from the gut.

The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation.
Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi's greatest dream is to make some friends, but everyone at school mistakes her crippling social anxiety for cool reserve.

Komi and her classmates are in the Big Apple, and Manbagi sees it as a chance to make a Big Confession. But as much as she wants to tell Tadano that she likes him, can she go through with it if it means changing her friendship with him (and Komi!) forever?

The Miseducation of Cameron Post
Loved Call Me By Your Name? Then dive into The Miseducation of Cameron Post, soon to be a major film starring Chloe Grace Moretz - winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance film festival. The night Cameron Post's parents died, her first emotion was relief. Relief they would never know that hours earlier, she'd been kissing a girl. Now living with her conservative Aunt in small-town Montana, hiding her sexuality and blending in becomes second nature to Cameron until she begins an intense friendship with the beautiful Coley Taylor.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and unforgettable literary debut about discovering who you are and finding the courage to live life according to your own rules.

The Age of Witches
'A MUST-READ FOR THOSE WHO LIKE MAGIC, LOVE AND A LITTLE BIT OF FEEL-GOOD FEMINISM IN THEIR HISTORICAL FICTION' Library Journal
A young witch must choose between love and loyalty, power and ambition, in this magical novel set in Gilded Age New York and London.
In 1692, Bridget Bishop was hanged as a witch. Two hundred years later, her legacy lives on in the scions of two very different lines: one dedicated to using their powers to heal and help women in need; the other, determined to grasp power for themselves.
This clash will play out in the fate of Annis, a young woman in Gilded Age New York who finds herself a pawn in the family struggle for supremacy. She'll need to claim her own power to save herself - and resist succumbing to the darkness that threatens to overcome them all.
'An Austen-esque romance, a heart-racing mystery full of dangerous twists and an anxiety-inducing yet enthralling family feud, Louisa Morgan's The Age of Witches is anything but a traditional tale of good versus evil' BookPage
'Morgan's beautifully conjured tale of three women, social mores, and the sanctity of self-determination is thoroughly enthralling' Booklist
'[A] robust tale of matriarchal magic in a lushly depicted Gilded Age New York . . . Readers will root for these powerful women as they struggle to overcome the social limitations of their time, whether through magic or force of personality' Publishers Weekly
'This is a book about witches, told from their perspective. As such, it's a lyrically and lovely written triumph about independent, unusual women' Book Riot

Lore Olympus Volume Two: UK Edition
Persephone was ready to start a new life when she left the mortal realm for Olympus. However, she quickly discovered the dark side of her glamorous new home - from the relatively minor gossip threatening her reputation to a realm-shattering violation of her safety by the conceited Apollo - and she's struggling to find her footing in the fast-moving realm of the gods.
Hades is also off-balance, fighting against his burgeoning feelings for the young goddess of spring while maintaining his lonely rule of the Underworld. As the pair are drawn ever closer, they must untangle the twisted webs of their past and present to build toward a new future.
This full-color edition of Smythe's original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story, and brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.
This volume collects episodes 26-49 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus
Kukučka
Stál som tam ako obor týčiaci sa nad okolím, vypínajúci hruď, nepremožiteľný. Podo mnou ležala moja obeť. Teraz už len bezvládne telo bez života, namočené vo vlastnej krvi. Keď som takto svoju prvú obeť videl, neubránil som sa smiechu. Zdalo sa mi ironické, že mi kedysi naháňala strach. Určite by jej ani na um nezišlo, že by sa v skutočnosti ona mala báť mňa. A už vôbec nie to, že by som práve ja mohol skoncovať s jej životom.
V Bratislave zavraždili ženu bohatého plastického chirurga. Jej muž je nezvestný a v honosnej vile pod Slavínom, kde objavili telo, zostali len dve adoptívne deti. Súrodenci svorne tvrdia, že nič nepočuli ani nevideli. Vyšetrovania sa ujíma kapitán Marek Wolf, ktorý postupne odkrýva rodinné tajomstvá vedúce k odhaleniu vraha. Keď sa však začne domnievať, že je na správnej stope, v prípade náhle začnú pribúdať obete…
Wolf sa popri práci musí vyrovnať aj s ďalšími problémami. Vzťahy na krajskom riaditeľstve sú napäté. Môže za to nový riaditeľ oddelenia, ktorý vo funkcii nahradil Karola Luptáka. Ten bojuje s osobnými démonmi a so zdanlivo neobjasniteľným prípadom, ktorý ho núti pochybovať o vlastných schopnostiach.

Na dvore z hmly a besu (Na dvore z tŕňov a ruží 2)
Druhé pokračovanie fantasy série Na dvore z tŕňov a ruží od autorky série Trón zo skla je ešte temnejšie a fantastickejšie ako prvý diel.
Po tom, čo Feyre zachránila krajinu Prythian, si čitatelia mysleli, že zazvonil zvonec a rozprávky je koniec. Feyre sa ocitla v bezpečí, obklopená bohatstvom a luxusom, pripravená na sobáš s milovanými Tamlinom, aby žili šťastne až do smrti. Feyre nikdy netúžila po osude princeznej z rozprávok, na rozdiel od svojich sestier. Feyre sa v nočných morách vracia k boju s Amaranthou, pri ktorom položila svoj ľudský život, a tým zlomila kliatbu, získala nesmrteľnosť a schopnosti férov. Doteraz nedokáže zabudnúť na hrôzy, ktoré zažila pri oslobodení Tamlina, ani na zmluvu s Rhysom, lordom Nočného dvora. Prečo sa nedokáže vložiť do obnovy Jarného dvora? Prečo sa cíti vždy naplnená, iba keď je s Rhysom? Na to nedokáže prísť ani sama. Feyre musí rýchlo spoznať svoje nové nesmrteľné telo a schopnosti, o ktorých dlho ani netušila. Na obzore sa totiž prebúdza prastarý nepriateľ, oveľa nebezpečnejší ako Amarantha, ktorý má na muške svet ľudí aj férov.

Bridgertonovci 7: Spoznáš to z jeho bozkov
Zoznámte sa s naším hrdinom...
Gareth St. Clair sa ocitol v ťažkej situácii. Jeho otec, ktorý ho nenávidí, je rozhodnutý zruinovať majetok St. Clairovcov a aj jeho dedičstvo. Garethovi sa dostane do rúk starý rodinný denník, v ktorom sa možno ukrývajú tajomstvá týkajúce sa jeho minulosti... a kľúč k jeho budúcnosti. Problémom je, že je napísaný v taliančine a Gareth nevie ani slovo po taliansky.
Zoznámte sa s našou hrdinkou
Všetci v spoločnosti sa zhodujú: neexistuje nikto ako Hyacinth Bridgertonová. Je neskutočne inteligentná, diabolsky výrečná a podľa Garetha, znesiteľná v malých dávkach. Je však na nej niečo očarujúce a znepokojujúce čo ho k nej priťahuje...
Zoznámte sa s chudákom pánom Mozartom
Alebo radšej nie. Keď sa cesty Garetha a Hyacinth skrížia na každoročnom disharmonickom hudobnom večierku Smythe-Smithovcov, určite sa obracia v hrobe. Zdá sa, že Garethove slová sú pre Hyacinth výzvou, a tak mu navrhne, že preloží jeho denník. Keď sa však ponárajú hlbšie do textu, prídu na to, že odpovede, ktoré hľadajú, sa nenachádzajú v denníku, ale v nich... a neexistuje nič jednoduchšie alebo zložitejšie ako dokonalý bozk.
