The Cat Who Saved Books
The Cat Who Saved Books is a heart-warming story about finding courage, caring for others – and the tremendous power of books.
Grandpa used to say it all the time: 'books have tremendous power'. But what is that power really?
Natsuki Books was a tiny second-hand bookshop on the edge of town. Inside, towering shelves reached the ceiling, every one crammed full of wonderful books. Rintaro Natsuki loved this space that his grandfather had created. He spent many happy hours there, reading whatever he liked. It was the perfect refuge for a boy who tended to be something of a recluse.
After the death of his grandfather, Rintaro is devastated and alone. It seems he will have to close the shop. Then, a talking tabby cat called Tiger appears and asks Rintaro for help. The cat needs a book lover to join him on a mission. This odd couple will go on three magical adventures to save books from people who have imprisoned, mistreated and betrayed them. Finally, there is one last rescue that Rintaro must attempt alone . . .
Sosuke Natsukawa's international bestseller, translated from Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai, is a story for those for whom books are so much more than words on paper.
The Graham Effect
The first book in the delicious, icy-hot Campus Diaries series, a spinoff of BookTok sensations Off Campus and Briar U, by New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy. Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things.
Fine - a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude .
. . and sexy as hell.
But he's still the enemy. Briar's new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men's team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another's guts.
To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad.
The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they're trying to ignore. It's a dangerous game they're playing, but the risks just might be worth it.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian

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.

She stood by her husband while he built an empire, but now that they've reached the top, she realizes he's no longer the man she fell for.

Jedenásť Keratových hier v zborníku DOBRO podľa kritika Patrika Orieška dokumentuje autorovu cestu od abstraktných domén absurdnosti existencie k širšej spoločenskej perspektíve, historicky ukotvenej, k reflektovaniu kultúrnych zmien, raz pri tom využívajúc tradičnejšie symetrické estetické formy, inokedy komplikovanejšie, meniace rytmus, modernejšie, subverzívnejšie. Ich spoločnou črtou pritom ostáva groteskný až absurdný humor divadla Stoka a jeho nástupníckych súborov.

In The Psychology of Stupidity, some of the world's leading psychologists and thinkers - including a Nobel Prize winner - will show you . . .

Landa Daniel - Minový pole CD
KDO: Daniel Landa je hudební skladatel, textař, rockový zpěvák a mentální kouč. Svoji hudební dráhu započal ve skupině Orlík (1988 – 1991), která se po vydání druhého alba rozešla a Landa od té doby vystupuje jako sólový umělec. Na svém kontě má nespočet ocenění v anketách popularity a Zlatých, Platinových a Multiplatinových desek. Jako muzikálový autor debutoval s Krysařem, jehož dvoutisící představení se odehrálo v roce 2023. K jeho dalším velmi úspěšným muzikálům patří Touha a Tajemství. Jako herec se objevil např. ve výrazných rolích ve filmech Černí baroni a Proč?. Jeho poslední hereckou rolí byl Alex v černé komedii Tacho a postava Emanuela Moravce v díle Den po Mnichovu ceněného televizního cyklu České století.
CO: Minový pole vychází 8 let po předchozím studiovém počinu Žito. Autorem hudby, textů a aranží všech písní je tradičně sám Daniel Landa. Skladby tvoří pospolu nerozlučitelný celek, byť na album zařadil i singly vydané v poslední době - Anička Malinová, Blanický manifest, Ukolébavka a Hoří horizont. Posledně jmenovanou skladbu však Landa se svým týmem natočil ve zcela nové podobě. Album nese všechny rozpoznávací znaky Landovy tvorby: silné protestsongy, rockové balady a jeho nezaměnitelný valčík. Vymyká se jakémukoli paušalizujícímu hodnocení. Daniel Landa říká: „Moje jediné přání je, aby si Minový pole lidi poslechli vcelku. Od začátku až do konce...“

Zrcadlová četba - The Little Prince - Malý princ (B2-C1)

Tento lyrický příběh s pohádkovým nádechem, jenž usiluje o nalezení pravého smyslu života, si najde svou jedinečnou cestičku ke každému čtenáři.
The Little Prince was written and published first by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in 1943, only a year before his plane disappeared on a reconnaissance flight over Corsica.
