Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North
The final novel in the Harold Fry trilogy, this is a heart-stopping story told from the view point of his wife Maureen as she takes her own journey and discovers how to reconnect with the world.
Ten years ago, Harold Fry set off on his epic journey on foot to save a friend. But the story doesn't end there.
Now his wife, Maureen, has her own pilgrimage to make.
Maureen Fry has settled into the quiet life she now shares with her husband Harold after his iconic walk across England. Now, ten years later, an unexpected message from the North disturbs her equilibrium again, and this time it is Maureen's turn to make her own journey.
But Maureen is not like Harold. She struggles to bond with strangers, and the landscape she crosses has changed radically. She has little sense of what she'll find at the end of the road. All she knows is that she must get there.
Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North is a deeply felt, lyrical novel, full of warmth and kindness. Short, exquisite, powerful- it is about love, loss, and how we come to terms with the past in order to understand ourselves and our lives a little better.

Japans Best Friend : Dog Culture in the Land of the Rising Sun
In Japan's Best Friend, stunning photographs take readers to religious festivals and shrines that honor dog deities, to the streets of Tokyo where canines are a mainstay of kawaii culture, and inside the doors of cafes that make pup-themed latte art as well as facilities that train rescue dogs to be involved with therapy. Readers are introduced to SONY's iconic dog robot AIBO; to the loyal Akita Hachiko, whose statue is located next to the world's busiest pedestrian crossing; and to Doge, the Shiba Inu internet sensation. The book looks at how dogs are represented in Japanese traditions, as well as the extraordinary lengths to which they are exalted within pop culture. It includes Edo and Meiji-era woodblock prints, as well as dog-centric work by Pritzker Prizewinning architects and renowned contemporary artists. Interviews with craftspeople, illustrators, and stylists offer a fascinating glimpse into the human-to-animal connection. At turns adorable, funny, informative, and uplifting, this multi-faceted celebration investigates a phenomenon that will appeal to anyone obsessed with dogs, Japan, or both.

The Hardest Fall. A legerősebb érzés
Pontosan ez történik. Kezdek belezúgni. Kezdünk egymásba zúgni. Totálisan. Amikor két ember első ízben találkozik, egymásra néznek, mosolyognak, köszönnek. Alapesetben ez ilyen egyszerű. Csak épp nem nálam. Amikor először találkoztam Dylan Reeddel, a szemem egy másik testrészére fókuszált. Tudod, én egy borzasztóan félszeg lány vagyok. Rémes, ahogyan képes vagyok minden szamárságot összehordani! Arról nem is beszélve, milyen mesteri szinten csinálok bolondot magamból a srác előtt, aki tetszik nekem. Akkor még semmit nem tudtam róla. Mindegy, miket zagyválok, gondoltam, hisz úgysem fogok többet találkozni vele.
Kiderült, hogy tévedtem.
A futballcsapat sztárja, azon kevesek egyike, aki várhatóan bejut az NFL-be, a campus minden szegletében belém botlott. Felajánlkoztam neki, aztán elszaladtam, majd megtámadtam egy konyhai eszközzel, és… Uh, talán el sem kellene mesélnem, miket tettem még. Bár az én esetemben ez mind-mind… normálisnak számít. De végül eljött a pillanat, amikor már nem rejtőzhettem tovább – nem mintha Dylan hagyta volna. Most, hogy nap mint nap összefutunk, látja, hogy alig bírom levenni róla a szemem. Rám mosolyog, és azt mondja, lenyűgözik a szeszélyeim. Azt hiszi, barátok leszünk. Én meg úgy érzem, ő ennél sokkal több nekem. Minél jobban megismerem, annál kevésbé érdekel, hogy nem zúghatok bele.
