Our Secrets and Lies
The new novel from the Richard and Judy Book Club author and Number One Bestseller!

Stuck in her dreams for their imaginary lives, Lucy doesn't see what is right in front of her - that she is thinking of her own ambitions, not her children's. And that life can be challenging for seventeen-year-olds, especially in the era of social media.

Hellblazer TP Vol 1 The Poison Truth Rebirth
John Constantine, the mage you love to hate, continues his adventures through the mainstream DC Universe in THE HELLBLAZER VOL. 1: THE POISON TRUTH! Constantine is back in London, reuniting with old friends--and older enemies: There's Chas Chandler, his best mate; Mercury, the young psychic, the Earth elemental known as the Swamp Thing; and, of course, more demons and djinns than you can cast a curse at. If he's going to survive this hell-raising homecoming, Constantine will have to play fast and loose with the rules--and with the souls of everyone residing in the Old Smoke. Evil is a surprisingly common infection, but sometimes the cure is worse than the disease... THE HELLBLAZER VOL. 1: THE POISON TRUTH brings one of comics' greatest antiheroes back to his roots--courtesy of the creative team of Simon Oliver, Moritat, Pia Guerra and Jose Marzan Jr.! This brand-new starting point collects issues #1-6 and the one-shot special THE HELLBLAZER: REBIRTH.

The Good Mother
'A heart-warming and a heart-breaking story, beautifully written and sensitive ... a one-read book ... compelling' Woman's Way
'OMG! I'm an emotional wreck after reading this novel, probably not helped by the fact that I pulled an all-nighter to finish it ... I just could not put it down' Eileen Dunne, RTÉ
Kate has been through the fire with her three children ...
Having been left devastated and homeless after her husband's affair and the break-up of their family, somehow she has pulled through. Though times are still tough, she's beginning to see the start of a new life.
But when twelve-year-old Jesssica is diagnosed with cancer, Kate's resilience is put to the ultimate test. She has an eighteen-year-old son consumed with hatred of his father, a seven-year-old who is bewildered and acting up and an ex-husband who won't face up to his responsibilities. And in the middle of it a beloved child who is trying to be brave but is getting sicker by the day.
Kate knows she must put to one side her own fear and heartbreak and do right by her children, particularly Jessica. But maybe doing the right thing means doing the unthinkable?

Those Other Women
'I devoured it, loved and totally escaped into it. Fun and topical' MARIAN KEYES
It was supposed to be harmless fun.
Poppy created a Facebook group to vent just a little about smug mummies at work.
After all, her best friend betrayed her in order to have a child - with Poppy's husband.
She just never expected the group to take off the way it did.
Or that the 'other women' are in turn heartily sick of being judged by non-mums and stay-at-home mums alike.
And soon the rivalry spills into the real world . . .
Those Other Women is a darkly funny, controversial look at motherhood and childlessness.
What readers are saying:
'This book is for any woman: whether you wish to be a mother, or simply don't'
'I loved this book'
'You may go in on one side, then find yourself switching sides, then back again'
'Entertaining and fun, but with a serious side'

Pábitelé CD
Bohumil Hrabal (28.3.1914 – 3.2.1997) – génius české krátké prózy, který by se letos dožil 100 let. Enfant terrible – zbožňovaný i nenáviděný, často nepochopený. Připravili jsme četbu čtyř povídek z knížky Pábitelé, která autora vskutku proslavila. To však nebyl ten pravý důvod, proč jsme se rozhodli právě pro ně. Povídky z Pábitelů mají totiž výraznou dějovou linku, dramatické prvky a je v nich humor, nadsázka, nadhled, melancholie, splín i sentiment, romantika i poetika, ale i naturalismus, vše v jednom ranečku. A především jde vždycky o oslavu člověka, svátost života! Na úvod jsme vybrali definici pábitelů slovy Bohumila Hrabala. Jednotlivé povídky jsou odděleny citáty z morytátů čtenářů (z knihy Morytáty a legendy) a závěr tvoří úryvek z povídky Kouzelná flétna (z knihy Listopadový uragán). Předkládáme Vám tak skoro portrétní „hrabalovskou audioknihu“.

The Fifth Letter
Four friends. Five Letters. One Secret.
A scandalous breakthrough novel from Nicola Moriarty that will leave you asking, how well do I really know my friends?
Joni, Trina, Deb and Eden.
Best friends since the first day of school. Best friends, they liked to say, forever.
But now they are in their thirties and real life - husbands, children, work - has got in the way. So, resurrecting their annual trip away, Joni has an idea, something to help them reconnect.
Each woman will write an anonymous letter, sharing with their friends the things that are really going on in their lives.
But as the confessions come tumbling out, Joni starts to feel the certainty of their decades-long friendships slip from her fingers.
Anger. Accusations. Desires. Deceit.
And then she finds another letter. One that was never supposed to be read. A fifth letter. Containing a secret so big that its writer had tried to destroy it. And now Joni is starting to wonder, did she ever really know her friends at all?
The Husbands Secret
At the heart of The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty is a letter that's not meant to be read...Mother of three and wife of John-Paul, Cecilia discovers an old envelope in the attic. Written in her husband's hand, it says: to be opened only in the event of my death. Curious, she opens it - and time stops. John-Paul's letter confesses to a terrible mistake which, if revealed, would wreck their family as well as the lives of others. Cecilia - betrayed, angry and distraught - wants to do the right thing, but right for who? If she protects her family by staying silent, the truth will worm through her heart. But if she reveals her husband's secret, she will hurt those she loves most...Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, or anyone who enjoyed One Moment, One Morning or The Midwife's Confession, The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty is about the things we know, the things we don't, and whether or not we ever get to choose. Above all, though, it's about how we must live with the consequences of our actions - whether we like it or not. Praise for Liane Moriarty: "Highly addictive". (She).

The Secrets Sisters Keep
Sinead Moriarty's delicious tenth novel, The Secrets Sisters Keep, is the story of three sisters, three life-altering problems and one eternal truth: nobody knows you quite like a sister! Sinead's writing mixes the worldly wit of Jane Green with the down-to-earth warmth and insight of Marian Keyes and will remind people just how important their sisters - and their friends-who-are-like-sisters - are to them. The Devlin sisters rely on each other - but some things are just too painful to share, even when your sisters are your best friends...Mum-of-four Julie thought that if her family had more money, life would be easier. But now that they've inherited a fortune, her problems are only starting. Lawyer Louise is used to having life go exactly as she wants it to.

A jó anya
Kate, a jó anya élete romokban hever. A férje otthagyta egy csábító, fiatal nőért, aki szült neki egy kisfiút. A házukat el kell adni, mert nincs miből fizesse a részleteket, de közben erősnek kell maradnia három gyereke kedvéért.
Luke, a legidősebb, tizennyolc éves. Szerencsére van egy melegszívű barátnője, aki átsegíti a nehézségeken - például amikor apja rendszeresen cserben hagyja új felesége és kisfia miatt.
Jess, az egyetlen lány, tizenkettő. Ő próbál közvetíteni apjuk és a család között, de kevés sikerrel, hiszen az új asszony mindent elkövet, hogy megakadályozza a kapcsolattartást.
Bobby, a legkisebb, hétéves. A maga módján próbál megbirkózni az új helyzettel: rugdossa a bútorokat és kívülről fújja a Guinness Rekordok Könyvét. A tények legalább biztosak.
Kate hazaköltözik az édesapjához a három gyerekkel, és besegít a családi kávéházban. Mivel a volt férje állandóan késik a gyerektartással, nagy szüksége van a pénzre.
És amikor végre kezdene egyenesbe jönni az életük, kiderül, hogy Jessnek leukémiája van.
Mire nem képes egy jó anya a gyerekéért? Mire a könyv végére érünk, Kate és a család megjárja a poklot is. Egyvalami segíti át őket a szörnyűségeken: a mélységes szeretet, ami összefűzi a csonka családot.

Na scénu prichádza špička zločineckého podsvetia Londýna, Napoleon zločinu, profesor James Moriarty.
