44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, BB Easton's bestselling memoir, is the inspiration for Netflix's new series: Sex/Life. BB had so much fun writing her award-winning memoir that she decided to give each of her four men his own steamy standalone. This is book four - the hilarious, heart-warming tale of how BB finally got over her bad-boy phase and found her happily ever after with . . . gasp . . . a guy in a tie.
'Since when are you into guys in ties? You only like guys who look like they rob guys in ties. At gunpoint.'
It was true. My type had been well-established. There might as well have been a giant sign on my heart that said, 'Good Guys Need Not Apply'.
Which is exactly why I had to friendzone Ken Easton. The man was a former football star, smelled like fresh laundry instead of stale cigarettes, and had more ties in his closet than tattoos on his knuckles. Pssh. BOR-ING.
But the more I got to know my hunky study buddy, the more questions I came away with. Questions like: why doesn't he date? Why does he avoid human touch? Why does he hate all things fun and wonderful? The psychology student in me became obsessed with getting inside Ken's head, while the spoiled brat in me became obsessed with getting inside his heart.
In 2003, I found the one thing I love more than bad boys . . .
A good challenge.

Adventures in Democracy
Democracy is a living, breathing thing and Erica Benner has spent a lifetime thinking about the role ordinary citizens play in keeping it alive: from her childhood in post-war Japan, where democracy was imposed on a defeated country, to working in post-communist Poland, with its sudden gaps of wealth and security. This book draws on her experiences and the deep history of self-ruling peoples - going back to ancient Greece, the French revolution and Renaissance Florence - to rethink some of the toughest questions that we face today.
What do democratic ideals of equality mean in a world obsessed with competition, wealth, and greatness? How can we hold the powerful to account? Can we find enough common ground to keep sharing democratic power in the future? Challenging well-worn myths of heroic triumph over tyranny, Benner reveals the inescapable vulnerabilities of people power, inviting us to consider why democracy is worth fighting for and the role each of us must play.

Wannabe
Aisha Harris has made a name for herself as someone you can turn tofor a razor-sharp take on whatever show or movie everyoneis talking about. Now, she turns her talents inward, mining the benchmarks of her nineties childhood and beyond to analyze the tropes that are shaping all of us, and our ability to shape them right back.
In the opening essay, an interaction with Chance the Rapper prompts an investigation into the origin myth of her name. Elsewhere, Aisha traces the evolution of the “Black Friend” trope from its Twainian origins through to the heyday of the Spice Girls, teen comedies like Clueless, and sitcoms of the New Girl variety. And she examines the overlap of taste and identity in this era, rejecting the patriarchal ethos that you are what you like. Whatever the subject, sitting down with her book feels like hanging out with your smart, hilarious, pop culture–obsessed friend—and it’s a delight.
London Estates: Modernist Council Housing 1946-1981
The most comprehensive photographic document of the once-utopian London council estate buildings
The UK’s landmark Housing Act of 1919 catalyzed the rapid development of state-owned public housing in planned council estates. Construction of these estates has largely ceased since the Thatcherist austerity policies of the ’80s. Fast-forward a few decades and the estates have met various fates; some council estates are now considered notorious, while others are arguably the most desirable places to live in London.
As the most comprehensive photographic document of the London council estates, this book features 275 estates from the City and every borough. A huge range of architectural styles are represented: from prefabricated and “self-built” schemes to Modernist and Brutalist designs, including over 30 protected historic buildings. There are designs from a broad range of architects, including Denys Lasdun, Erno Goldfinger, Basil Spence and many more. Kate Macintosh’s ziggurat-inspired Dawson’s Heights (1972) shares space with Chamberlin, Powell & Bon’s primary-colored tower Golden Lane Estate (1962). From the paltry to the posh, each estate possesses a fascinating history, and is emblematic of a distinct vision of urban planning. This book celebrates London council estates in all their diversity?championing the neglected alongside the distinguished, and honoring their immeasurable contribution to the social and architectural fabric of the capital.

Their hunt lures them far from Paris and into the icy heart of Russia, where crystalline ice animals stalk forgotten mansions, broken goddesses carry deadly secrets, and a string of unsolved murders makes the crew question whether an ancient myth is a myth after all.
As hidden secrets come to light and the ghosts of the past catch up to them, the crew will discover new dimensions of themselves. But what they find out may lead them down paths they never imagined.
The Witches' Blade
The second powerful novel in the Five Crowns of Okrith fantasy series brings us into a new part of the world as the fae princess Rua joins forces with a truly unlikely ally—all with the same romance and adventure readers have come to expect from A.K. Mulford’s viral sensation!
A magic sword. A powerful curse. An untested fae princess.
And a continent on fire...
Eighteen-year-old Ruadora Dammacus now possesses the Immortal Blade, a powerful artifact that might be enough to overthrow the cruel oppression threatening the land. Yet when Rua discovers the Northern Court King’s uncle is not only alive but has cast a spell on the blue witch army, she realizes that the battle is just beginning.
Venturing into the Northern Court, Rua finds herself working closely with the young Northern King. Her problems are mounting, and the handsome—and perhaps evil—king is only one of them. With the eyes of her newfound family on her, can Rua prove herself worthy of the Immortal Blade and break the curse over the blue witches, or will its magic be too difficult to control?
And, perhaps even more dangerous, is her growing connection to the Northern King and what that means for her people…and her heart.
Rodrigo Olivia - Guts (Limited Deluxe Splatter Version) 2LP
Olivia Isabel Rodrigo (narodená 20. februára 2003) je americká speváčka, skladateľka a herečka. Koncom roku 2010 si získala uznanie svojimi hlavnými úlohami v televíznych programoch Disney Bizaardvark a High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Po podpise zmluvy s Geffen a Interscope Records v roku 2020 vydala Rodrigo svoj debutový singel „Drivers License“, ktorý prekonal rôzne rekordy a stal sa jednou z najpredávanejších skladieb roku 2021, čo ju posunulo k mainstreamovej sláve. Nasledovala singlami „Deja Vu“ a „Good 4 U“ a vydala svoj debutový sólový štúdiový album Sour (2021), ktorý sa stretol s kritickým a komerčným úspechom a získal rôzne ocenenia vrátane troch cien Grammy.
Nový album GUTS sa ponorí do sféry osobného rastu a sebaobjavovania. Podľa samotnej Olivie táto hudobná tvorba zahŕňa výzvy a neistoty, ktoré vznikajú počas prechodnej fázy života. Vo veku 18 až 20 rokov prešla Olivia hlbokou transformáciou a zažila emocionálne dozrievanie v hodnote desaťročia. Tieto roky boli poznačené intenzívnou nemotornosťou a kolotočom zmien. Takéto chvíle nepohody a evolúcie sú však prirodzenou súčasťou procesu rastu a cieľom tohto albumu je autenticky zachytiť túto podstatu. Olivii pri produkcii nového albumu GUTS pomáhal Daniel Nigro, ktorý s ňou spolupracoval aj na SOUR.
