Love & Olives – Szantorini történet
Livnek nincsenek szép emlékei az apjáról, ami érthető, hiszen a férfi visszatért Görögországba, amikor ő még csak nyolcéves volt. Amire viszont emlékszik: a mítoszok és Atlantisz elveszett városa iránti szenvedélyük. Ezért amikor váratlanul kap egy képeslapot, amelyben az apja értesíti, hogy a National Geographic számára dokumentumfilmet forgat Atlantiszról, és egyben meghívja magához Görögországba, hogy ebben segédkezzen neki, Liv igent mond a lehetőségre. Aztán megérkezik a gyönyörű Szantorini szigetére, és azzal szembesül, hogy nem is olyan egyszerű feldolgoznia a helyzetet. Hosszú évek után először találkoznak az apjával, ezért rengeteg kérdés és megannyi érzelem tör a felszínre. Ráadásul Liv azt sem szeretné, hogy Theo, az operatőr, aki apjának lelkes tanítványa, tanúja legyen a küzdelmének. Mediterrán életszemléletével Theo segít Livnek, hogy elmerüljön mindabban, amit Szantorini kínál: a káprázatos naplementékben, a türkizkék vízben, a barlanglakásokban és a finom ételekben. Ahogy egyre jobban élvezi Theo társaságát, és az apjával is közelebb kerülnek egymáshoz, Liv lassan ráébred, hogy az apja talán nem is Atlantisz miatt hívta meg Görögországba.

King of Pride
He's his opposite in every way . . . and the greatest temptation he's ever known.
Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos - and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate jokes, is chaos personified.
With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire heir can't afford the distraction she brings.
Isabella is everything he shouldn't want, but with every look and every touch, he's tempted to break all his rules . . . and claim her as his own.
***
Bold, impulsive, and full of life, Isabella Valencia has never met a party she doesn't like or a man she couldn't charm . . . except for Kai Young.
It shouldn't matter. He's not her type - the man translates classics into Latin for fun, and his membership at the exclusive club where she bartends means he's strictly off limits.
But she can't deny that, beneath his cool exterior, is a man who could make her melt with just a touch.
No matter how hard they try, they can't resist giving into their forbidden desires.
Even if it costs them everything.

From Jerusalem to a Kingdom by the Sea
Black swans - unforeseen events with extreme consequences - have formed the backdrop of the Dajani family's history for almost a century.
In From Jerusalem to a Kingdom by the Sea Adel A. Dajani, one of the first Arabs to ever go to Eton, takes us on a journey from the royal palaces of Libya where he was raised, rubbing shoulders with monarchs and presidents, to the prisons of Gaddafi where his father was a political prisoner after the deposition of the monarchy in 1969.
Dajani recounts his experiences of enshrined cultural ignorance about the Middle East and North Africa with humour and candour as he trades the playing fields of Tripoli College for those of Eton College. His journey takes us into his family history, to the Old City of Jerusalem and the orange groves of Jaffa, to the spires of Oxbridge in the 1930s and to post war London in the 1950s. We are given unique eye witness perspectives of a world in endless transition, including invaluable accounts of the Arab Spring Revolutions in Tunisia and Libya and their life-changing impact on Dajani and his young family.
Replete with vivid and memorable anecdotes, From Jerusalem to a Kingdom by the Sea is a humorous and compellingly narrated story of a generational voyage through the icebergs of international political upheavals. The reader accompanies Dajani on this voyage, buoyed by his universal themes of family, love, loss, identity and, ultimately, the triumph of the human experience in the face of adversity and displacement.

The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
A searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war
Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest.
But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
Ten years after his prizewinning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths.

Lelkek királysága 1: Kingdom of Souls - Lelkek királysága
A varázslatnak ára van
- ha hajlandó vagy megfizetni.
A hatalmas boszorkánydoktorokból álló családba született Arrah saját varázserőre vágyakozik. Ám évről évre sikertelenül próbálja előhívni ősi hatalmát, míg nagyravágyó anyja egyre növekvő rosszallással figyeli.
Csak egyetlen dolog van, amit Arrah még nem próbált ki, a halálos utolsó lehetőség: elcserélheti a rá kiszabott idő egy részét
néhány mágiamorzsára. Ám egy napon elkezdenek eltűnni a Királyság gyermekei, és Arrah kétségbeesetten kutat a felelős után.
Ám valami sokkal rosszabbat fedez fel. A régóta fogságban tartott Démonkirály ébredezik. És ha felemelkedik, lelkekre fog éhezni,
és éhsége térdre fogja kényszeríteni a világot... hacsak Arrah nem fizeti meg az őt megállító mágia árát.
Afrikai mitológiából merítő sodró és titokzatos történet.

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.

But an ominous warning mars their journey back, and they soon find themselves captured in a tangled web of deceit woven by their greatest enemies and unlikeliest allies, a place where betrayals run deeper and more deadly than either had thought possible, and where timeless ambitions threaten to destroy them both.

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...

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson and first published in 1886. It is about a London lawyer who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the misanthropic Edward Hyde. The work is known for its vivid portrayal of a split personality, split in the sense that within the same person there is both an apparently good and an evil personality each being quite distinct from each other; in mainstream culture the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" has come to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. This is different from multiple personality disorder where the different personalities do not necessarily differ in any moral sense. Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was an immediate success and one of Stevenson's best-selling works. Stage adaptations began in Boston and London within a year of its publication and it has gone on to inspire scores of major film and stage performances.
