Az E-Négyzet óriási nemzetközi sikere sokaknak nyújtott fogódzót az első lépésekhez, hogy “tényleg leessen végre,” hogy a gondolatok teremtik a valóságot. Az E a Köbön lapjain Pam Grout segít magasabbra és mélyebbre hatolni a kvantum mezőben, ahol bebizo¬nyíthatod, hogy mi sem természetesebb a csodáknál, és hogy a boldogság csak egy gondolatnyira van tőlünk. Kilenc újabb érdekes kísérlet és számtalan hasznos tanács tárja szélesre a világ bőségének kapuit az olvasók előtt. A könyv megcáfolhatatlan bizonyítékokat sorol arra, mi¬ért csak rajtunk múlik, hogy végre éljünk a lehetőség¬gel és használjuk az univerzum energiáját, ami örökké a rendelkezésünkre áll, a boldogulásunkat és a jólétünket szolgálva. „Amikor iskolába jártam, folyton azt kérdezték, mi akarok lenni, ha nagy leszek. Azt írtam erre, hogy »boldog«. Mire megkaptam, hogy nem értem, mirõl szól a feladat, amire meg én mondtam azt, hogy ti meg nem értitek, mirõl szól az élet.” JOHN LENNON, ANGOL ZENÉSZ, A BEATLES ALAPÍTÓ TAGJA A szerzőről Pam Grout #1 New York Times bestseller író, 17 könyv, három színdarab, egy tévésorozat, és két iPhone alkalmazás szerzője. Rendszeresen ír cikkeket a People magazin, a CNN.com, a The Huffington Post számára, és utazási blogot vezet a www.georgeclooneyslepthere.com weboldalon.

Alpha Werewolf Complete Set
This four-book collection features innocent young prey shifters falling prey to Alpha Werewolves. Here, you will find:
Obedient Kitten
When Theodore's friend dies unexpectedly, he bequests him a house and everything in it. Everything includes a young cat shifter, the lawyer says, eyes gleaming with greed and envy. Cat shifters are a rare species in a world ruled by humans and werewolves. They are considered precious and protected, and a half-shift like her? Well, she is worth tens of millions in the black market.
Training Hucow
The last thing Erik expects to see when he arrives in the mandatory Shifter class that the University had just set up that week is a bound hucow being rolled into the class like a human sacrifice. Their professor thinks hucows are made to be used and is offering her just for that purpose.
Except he's wrong. She's not a toy to be used. She's precious and most importantly, she's his and he intends to make it clear right there in front of all his classmates.
Abandoned Kitten
When Anna losses her Master, she panics and shifts into her cat form, hiding in her animal mind because she doesn't have to deal with grief if she's a cat. Except nobody tells the werewolf who had been tasked with taking care of her that she's not actually a cat. It’s not too bad, living with the Werewolf, except she’s human too and have other needs that can’t be ignored.
Lost Little Rabbit
Ally is pretty sure she's going to die. She should never have wandered away from her friend. Now, werewolves have taken interest in her and are hunting her down in broad daylight. She's a weak - and probably delicious - rabbit, so it's only a matter of time before they catch her. There are only so many places she can hide in the city.
~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~
"Hello there.” The man looms in front of her, huge and terrifying. "What's a little thing like you doing out here all alone? Don't you know it's not safe for shifters like you out here?"
"I um- I'm just here for the event," she stutters. "If you could point me in the direction of my hotel, that would be very helpful," she says, hoping her ears are properly tucked under her hair and they can't see them. Apparently city folks are weird about Shifters like her, which was why Darnell had been so wary about letting her out of the hotel.
"Aren't you sweet?" The man sneers, looming in front of her, closing in and grabbing her wrist hard enough to hurt.
"Please let go," she says, her heartbeat going too fast. "I- Please," she whimpers, eyes filling with tears. She can hold onto her shift easier now that she's older, but she's fast forgetting how to keep in control because she's really scared right now.
"Why would I do that? Sweet little thing like you," he drawls, leaning in and licking a wet strip up her cheek.
It's really gross and she pulls away, cheeks going bright red with humiliation. The other werewolves are closing in now too, trapping her between them to give her the feeling of prey being surrounded. It's terrifying. Her breath hitches and her eyes burn with tears. She wipes away the saliva on her cheek with the back of her hand. She doesn't like the way he smells like cigarette smoke.
He yanks her close, pulling their bodies closer together and then he shifts partially so that his fingers turn into sharp claws right in front of her eyes. She thinks of hitting him and running away but she's outnumbered. She closes her eyes and grimaces when she feels him comb through her hair, tips of his claws cutting through her hair band like it's made of paper. Her hair tumbles out from the ponytail and her rabbit ears drop down. A whine escapes her throat. Her ears fold back, and she trembles quietly, panicking.
"Jesus-" "Oh my god." "What the-"
She closes her eyes, heart beating so hard she's afraid it would break through her rib cage and abandon her.
"Aren't you just lovely," he grins and she can feel his breath on her cheek, burning hot and smelling like cigarette smoke and danger. Her ear

Living in Tuscany. 40th Ed.
Under the burning Tuscan sun roll marvelous hills, vineyards, and olive groves-all postcard-perfect landscapes nestling centuries-old towns, rural villas, and contadino farmhouses. We've tracked down the best examples of such havens to paint a warm-hued picture of the look and feel of Tuscan living. Follow in Michelangelo's footsteps to the Eremo Santa Maria Maddalena, a medieval hermitage nestled in the steep Arezzo hillside. Take a dip in the California-style pool of Roberto Budini Gattai, the architect who turned a modest winegrower's house into a dazzling homage to David Hockney. Cool down in the tiled bedrooms of the Villa Villoresi, where, legend has it, Dante's wife took refuge during the poet's exile in the early 14th century. This collection gathers the region's most remarkable homes and interiors, complete with insightful captions and enthralling double spreads. Across contemporary architecture and traditional craftsmanship, minimal earthenware and decadent furniture, we discover all the natural tones and sun-kissed textures of Tuscany.
86 -- Eighty-Six, Vol. 11 (light novel)
PRIDE BEFORE THE FALL It happened all too quickly. A flash, a rumble, and then… silence. In an instant, an unprecedented Legion assault wrought untold destruction upon nations across the world. As humanity’s borders are sent into swift decline, Shin and Lena are tasked with a large-scale rescue operation that brings them back to Republic soil after what seems like a lifetime. Yet even with humanity on the brink of extinction, they find a country that hasn’t changed-one that cannot change. Many survivors view rescue by the Eighty-Six as the height of indignity. Similarly, many Eighty-Six are reluctant to lend aid to those who stripped away their humanity. But behind the cavernous, silver eyes of the mechanical ghosts lays a single, gruesome directive...

Csak szeretet legyen
Hogyan lesz valakiből az ország egyik legnépszerűbb parodistája? Milyen érzés a reflektorfényben élni? Hogyan lehet feldolgozni, ha valaki gyermekotthonban nő fel? Mi táplálja a hitet, hogy a sanyarú körülmények ellenére is mindig van remény?
Bagi Iván ezekre a kérdésekre ad őszinte választ a Csak szeretet legyen! című önéletrajzi könyvében. Most először és utoljára beszél vigasztalan gyermekkoráról; megosztja az olvasóval a múlt és jelen vicces, olykor tragikomikus pillanatait - mesél Nacsa Olivérrel való töretlen barátságáról, a menedzserével való megismerkedéséről, TV-műsorokról, ismert pályatársakról és lelkes rajongókról.
Szó esik nagy, fiatalkori szerelmekről, meghatározó olvasmányélményekről, emlékezetes fellépésekről, kalandos vonatutakról, fárasztó sprintekről, és azt is megtudhatjuk, miért bűvös szám a harmincnyolc.
A szerző saját példáján keresztül bizonyítja be: hittel, akaraterővel, kitartással és szorgalommal bármit el lehet érni!
"Jellemzően nem játszottam a többi gyerekkel, mégis elvoltam magamban. Már csak azért is, mert volt egy magnó, amit a nővérem hozott Amerikából, és én mindent, ami éppen a tévében ment, felvettem. A felvételeket éjjel-nappal hallgattam, kívülről megtanultam a szövegeket. A Derricket, a Dallast, a Két férfi, egy esetet - az összes akkor futó tévéfilm-sorozatot, pontosabban szólva a hangot, mert videomagnóra nem volt pénzünk. Ez egyáltalán nem volt baj, sőt! Így több mindent tudtam elképzelni, és szerencsére a fantáziám mindig élénk volt, sosem hagyott cserben."

Puhapehely - Téli mesék
Téli mesék - nem csak télre!
13 különleges téli mese 13 remek szerzőtől, Hanga Réka pompás illusztrációival
Valaki megette a telet.
Nem egyszerre kapta be, apránként kezdett hozzá: először a kósza hópelyheket kapta el, ordas nyelvével kapkodta össze őket, a város pedig nem győzött csodálkozni. Hogy itt rohangál egy szörnyeteg!
A hópelyhek után nekiállt befalni a hófelhőket: úgy tömte magába, mint jó gyerek a vattacukrot. Volt-nincs hófelhő. És ment tovább és tovább, rengtek a léptei, és befalta a frissiben összegörgetett hóembereket, kilopta a gyerekek kezéből a maradék hógolyókat, és megette azokat is.
Nagyon örült! Hogy hogy kitolt a városiakkal. És telepocaknyi téllel elbújt egy fal repedésébe, és ott örült magának.
De aztán persze megjött Talicska bácsi...

La isla del tesoro (illustrated)
Jim Hawkins es el hijo del dueño de una posada llamada “Almirante Benbow”, a la que un día acude para alojarse un hombre muy peculiar que canta tonadillas marineras y se hace llamar capitán. Este señor le pide a Jim que le avise si se acerca un hombre con una sola pierna. A cambio de vigilar, el hombre le da una paga cada mes. Pero Jim no ve a ningún hombre con una sola pierna, sino que fue un hombre seboso el primero que se acercó a la posada preguntando por él. Más tarde un ciego llamado Pew pregunta por el capitán, que al parecer se llama Billy Bones. Billy muere a causa de un ataque de apoplejía poco después de que el doctor le salve la vida una vez por la misma causa de su muerte. Jim descubre que el capitán era un bucanero y los otros dos lo buscaban. El y su madre abren su baúl y encuentran un fajo de papeles y dinero de muchos países. Entonces el chico se reúne con el doctor Livesey y el caballero y abren el paquete, hallando un mapa que conduce a un legendario tesoro. Deciden embarcar en un barco y salir hacia la isla, no sin antes haber reunido una buena tripulación en Bristol, buscada por el cocinero; que asegura que son de fiar. Una noche; navegando a bordo de "La Hispaniola", Jim escucha a John Silver el Largo, el cocinero de a bordo, hablar de un motín con los tripulantes que el encontró.
