Coming out - Tények és Tanúk
Molnár Gál Péter, közismert nevén MGP, a Kádár-kor meghatározó kritikusa, színházi egyénisége, tanúja, szereplője volt. A Népszabadságba évtizedeken át írt szellemes, élvezetes, de sokszor kíméletlen és elfogult színikritikái megkerülhetetleneknek számítottak. 2004-ben derült ki, hogy Luzsnyánszky Róbert néven 1963-tól 1978-ig az állambiztonság ügynökeként tevékenykedett. Az eset megrázta a színházi világot, ő pedig néhány hónap alatt Coming out címmel megírta saját történetét megzsarolásáról és ügynöki múltjáról. Emellett rendkívül színes, szórakoztató és tűpontos portrékat közöl kortársakról, kollégákról, színészekről, rendezőkről, barátokról és ellenségekről, sokakról azok közül, akikkel hosszú és gazdag élete során összeakadt. A szöveget keletkezése után végül mégsem publikálta - most, másfél évtizeddel később, magyarázó jegyzetekkel és annotált névmutatóval együtt olvasható.

Panství Loch Down
Třicátá léta dvacátého století. Skotskem se šíří tajuplná nemoc. Obyvatele panství Loch Down, urozenou a starobylou rodinu Inverkillenů, však mnohem víc trápí tenčící se zásoby toaletních ubrousků a otázka toho, kdo se postará o děti, když si chůva troufla opustit tento svět v tak nevhodnou dobu.Lord Inverkillen, hrabě a nejvýznamnější člen rodiny, je za podivných okolností nalezen mrtev. Inspektor označí incident za nehodu, ale paní MacBainovou, hlavní hospodyni, tím nepřesvědčí. Jelikož nikdo nesmí kvůli nemoci dům opustit a stejně tak do něj nesmí vkročit nikdo cizí, jsou jedinými podezřelými obyvatelé domu, ať už z řad rodiny či služebnictva.Vzhledem k tomu, že je rodina hraběte příliš zaneprázdněna tím, co se dá popsat jen jako nicnedělání, rozhodne se pustit do pátrání sama. Samozřejmě jen ve svém volnu. Odhalí tím celou řadu dlouho ukrývaných tajemství, lží a podvodů, jež mají život na panství navždy změnit.

Nick and Charlie
A short novella based on the beloved characters from the graphic novel Heartstopper and Alice Oseman's debut novel Solitaire, which was praised as 'The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age' by The Times.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?
CHARLIE: "I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years. He likes rugby, Formula 1, dogs, the Marvel universe, the sound felt-tips make on paper, rain and drawing on shoes. He also likes me."
NICK: "Things me and Charlie Spring do together include: Watch films. Sit in the same room on different laptops. Text each other from different rooms. Make out. Make food. Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we're kind of boring. But that's fine with us."
Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple - that they're inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone's asking if they're staying together, which is a stupid question - they're 'Nick and Charlie' for God's sake!
But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever...
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.

Pride and Prejudice and the City
From the New York Times bestselling coauthor of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl comes a fresh and inventive sapphic romantic comedy that's What If It's Us meets Bridgerton. What if you found a once-in-a-lifetime love...just not in your lifetime? Seventeen-year-old Audrey Cameron has lost her spark. After an embarrassing run-in with her ex-boyfriend, she's told that she needs to get back out there and take risks.
What she doesn't expect is to be transported to Regency England! Lucy Sinclair has her own problems - stifled by her father and trying to avoid an unwanted marriage proposal - when Audrey lands into her life, claiming to be from two hundred years in the future, it's a welcome distraction. While the girls try to understand what's happening and how to send Audrey home, their sparks make a comeback in a most unexpected way - instead of falling for their suitors and the happily-ever-afters everyone expects of them, they fall for each other. Can their love story survive impossible circumstances? A swoony time-travelling YA romance set in the regency era about finding your spark - a lesbian Jane Austen story.
Cleopatra and Frankenstein
New York is slipping from Cleo's grasp. Sure, she's at a different party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Her student visa is running out, and she doesn't even have money for cigarettes. But then she meets Frank. Twenty years older, Frank's life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo's lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a green card. She offers him a life imbued with beauty and art-and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his drinking. He is everything she needs right now.
Cleo and Frank run head-first into a romance that neither of them can quite keep up with. It reshapes their lives and the lives of those around them, whether that's Cleo's best friend struggling to embrace his gender identity in the wake of her marriage, or Frank's financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates after being cut off. Ultimately, this chance meeting between two strangers outside of a New Year's Eve party changes everything, for better or worse.
Cleopatra and Frankenstein is an astounding and painfully relatable debut novel about the spontaneous decisions that shape our entire lives and those imperfect relationships born of unexpectedly perfect evenings.

Gallagher Liam - Down By The River Thames CD
KDO: Liam Gallagher tvořil s bráchou Noelem kostru jedné z největších kapel v britských dějinách. Oasis jsou ostrovní rockovou legendou, jejich album Be Here Now z roku 1997 bylo do listopadu 2015 s prodejem 424 tisíc kopií v týdnu po vydání nejlépe startujícím titulem v anglické historii. Média za kanálem La Manche dodnes sní o návratu Oasis, ten je však vzhledem k nevraživosti mezi oběma bratry, kteří se vzájemně nemohou vystát, velmi nepravděpodobný. Po rozpadu legendy si Liam založil vlastní kapelu, s Beady Eye ale na úspěch Oasis ani zdaleka nenavázal. Jeho kariéru restartovala až sólová tvorba, především skvělé albu As You Were z roku 2017.
CO: Liam Gallagher odehrál v prosinci 2020 během covidové pandemie jedinečný koncert u londýnského Tower Bridge. Koncert byl přenášen online. Nyní je záznam k dispozici na CD a 2LP. Obsahuje Liamovy sólové skladby i několik velkých hitů z období, kdy byl zpěvák frontmanem Oasis (např. Supersonic, Morning Glory nebo Champagne Supernova).
