Seducing Seven
He bet on logic. She bet on love.
Romance author Seven Michaels believes in love to her very core, her readers count on it. So when an arrogant and annoyingly sexy, luxury salesman, Blake Turner, laughs at her books and the people who read them, Seven’s ready to smash his face in a box of chocolates. How dare a playboy like Blake insinuate romance is for suckers? He literally pays for his life off the reality of dreams coming true.
But there's more to Seven and her romance than empty promises and overblown expectations, she'll prove it's real. She bets Blake she'll make him fall for her by using the rules in her latest novel before the end of the convention, or she’ll give up on love in front of her fellow authors and fans at the Romance Lovers Convention ball. She's all in and humiliating Blake is worth the risk.
But when Seven's the one being seduced, her rules no longer make sense and realizes she's a fool for ever betting on love.

Charli XCX - Crash CD
KDO: Britská zpěvačka Charli XCX je výraznou osobností hudební scény. Celosvětově se proslavila už v roce 2014, kdy vydala singly Boom Clap a Break The Rules. Hned několikrát vystupovala v Čechách - v Edenu předskakovala Coldplay, jako host se objevila na koncertu Katy Perry a v roce 2019 vyprodala pražské Roxy. V muzice se Charli XCX nijak neomezuje, její produkce je všežravá a surfuje napříč různými styly. Potrpí si na kreativní svobodu a často mění svou hudební tvář. Charli nikdy nebyla typickou popovou interpretkou, její skladby měly vždy něco navíc, pokaždé měla co říct.
CO: Už páté studiové album anglické zpěvačky. Charli XCX se na něm stylizuje do podoby zlé, démonické osobnosti, která se uspala ďáblu. Tomu odpovídá také vizuál s různými motivy temných kouzel a kleteb. Název a celková estetika desky je inspirována filmem Crash režiséra Davida cronenberga z roku 1996. Hudebně lze album označit slovem futurepop. Najdete tu vlivy pop music osmdesátých let nebo dark popu.

Dark Desert Highway
So sings Don Henley on their biggest hit, 'Hotel California', yet for The Eagles their story was one where the dividing line between ultimate Hollywood highs and subterranean LA lows was blurred beyond recognition, blinded by white-powdered double-visions and buried beneath greenback mountains.
The band that embodied the American dream with globe-straddling success, impossibly luxurious lives, almost supernatural talent also descended into nightmare with bloodletting betrayal, hate-filled hubris, the skeletons of perceived enemies, brutally discarded lovers and former band mates left unburied in the road behind them. The story of The Eagles is a truly gothic American fable: one of ultimate power and rivers of money; of sex and drugs at a time when both were the lingua-franca of sophisticated So-Cal living; of a band who sang of peaceful easy feelings in public while threatening to kill each other in private.
Now, for the first time, esteemed music biographer Mick Wall will provide the definitive insight into America's best-selling band of all time, a band who have sold more records than Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones combined, exploring their meteoric rise to fame, and the hedonistic days of the 70s music scene in LA, when American music was taking over the world.
Habitat
A compact edition of this landmark publication, which celebrates humanity's ability to create buildings that for millennia have responded ingeniously to cultural and environmental conditions.
There has never been a more important time to understand how to make the best use of local natural resources and create buildings that do not rely on stripping our planet or transporting materials across the globe. First published in 2017, this major book gathers together the world's leading experts on vernacular architecture to examine how local buildings have stood the test of time and offer lessons for the future.
The core of the book is arranged by climate zone, from desert to tropical, temperate to arctic. Within each section, buildings are presented regionally, showing how climatic conditions and vegetation affect the evolution of building styles. This central part is bookended by a range of essays exploring the economic and anthropological aspects, while the reference section offers information on materials science and engineering, including how buildings have been adapted to contend with natural disasters.
The traditions of vernacular architecture have much to teach us. Given our ecosystem's increasing frailty, the architecture and building trade's new role in a post-digital era, and the desperate need to record fading cultural traditions, the relevance of this book is greater than ever.
Hansel & Gretel
Simon Armitage turns Hansel & Gretel into a darkly glittering fairy tale for grown-ups. In vivid and trenchant language, he puts a contemporary spin on the tale we know from the Brothers Grimm. Here is a twenty-first century story, whose preoccupations are poverty and hunger, war and flight, a shifting dystopian landscape where nothing is quite as it seems.
Text and illustration fuse beautifully to summon a nightmarish vision that nonetheless contains humour and humanity and the possibility of a more hopeful future to come.

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant
A collection of full-throated appreciations, withering assessments, and hard-won lessons by the popular journalist. There are a few things you need to know about Joel Golby. Both his parents are dead. His dad was an alcoholic. He himself has a complicated relationship with alcohol. He once went to karaoke three times in five days. He will always beat you at Monopoly, and he will always cheat. Joel makes a name for himself as a journalist who brings us distinguished articles such as ‘A Man Shits On A Plane So Hard It Has To Turn Around And Come Back Again’, but that says more about us than him. In his first book, Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant Joel writes about important stuff (death, alcohol, loss, friendship) and unimportant stuff (Saudi Arabian Camel Pageants, a watertight ranking of the Rocky films, Monopoly), always with the soft punch of a lesson tucked within.
Golby’s sharp, evocative prose thrives on reality and honesty that is gut-wrenchingly close to the bone, and laced with a copious dose of dark humour. Who is this book for? It is for everyone, but mainly people who are as lost and confused as Joel and just want to have a good laugh about it.
The Art of Money Getting (EN)
In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for persons in good health to make money. In this comparatively new field there are so many avenues of success open, so many vocations which are not crowded, that any person of either sex who is willing, at least for the time being, to engage in any respectable occupation that offers, may find lucrative employment.

Novellák 1: Tengertánc
Örkény legelső kötetének címét kölcsön véve a Tengertánc (Novellák I.) a harmincas évektől az ötvenes évek végéig gyűjti egybe a termést, majd a Niagara Nagykávéház (Novellák II.) folytatja a sort az írói elhallgattatás idejének darabjaitól az utolsó remeklésekig. Utóbbi kötet a szerző születésének 110-ik évfordulójára, 2022 tavaszán érkezik a könyvesboltok polcaira.
Örkény István életműsorozatában a novellák első kötete, amely a bemutatkozó, 1941-es könyvtől, a Tengertánctól kölcsönözte a címét, az ötvenes évek végéig gyűjti egybe a termést. A sorozatban korábban közreadott népszerű kisregények és egypercesek mögé nézve az olvasó most izgalmas fölfedezőútra indulhat a legjellemzőbb motívumok, témák forrásától, a korai groteszktől, a háború előtti kor lázas, fiatal tempójától a fenyegetettség, majd pusztulás krónikáin át a túlélés traumáinak szédületéig. Örkény írásainak hősei mintha mind folyvást macskajátékot játszanának, a sors változó, hol euforikus, hol kegyetlen, hol védekező szerepeiben mutatkoznak. Ahogyan az Asszonyok éjszakájában is: két egymásra találó nő azonos hőfokú szenvedései mögött élesen szemben álló élettények rejtőznek. Van/lehet a látható élet mögött valami más logika, másként kezelhető anyag - ezt keresi az író évtizedeken át.
"Éljünk kalandosan, éljünk veszélyesen!" - kiáltja egy Örkény-hős valamelyik huszadik századi szilveszteren. Szó, ami szó, ez a fogadalom beteljesült.
