House of Salt and Sorrows
In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed.
Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last--the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge--and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods.
Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who--or what--are they really dancing with?
When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family--before it claims her next. House of Salt and Sorrows is a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with...
And don't miss Erin Craig's Small Favors, a mesmerizing and chilling novel about dark wishes and even darker dreams.
Drevená dedina - Rivers of Babylon (2)
Rivers of Babylon 2 alebo Drevená dedina je voľné pokračovanie debutového románu Petra Pišťanka. Autor v ňom predviedol to, čo sa už v náznakoch dalo zistiť v jeho predchádzajúcej tvorbe – motivické, no najmä personálne prepájanie jednotlivých príbehov samostatných textov. Rivers of Babylon 2 nie je len pokračovaním a rozvíjaním osudov hrdinov prvého autorovho románu, ale zároveň nadväzuje aj na novelu Muzika z knižky Mladý Dônč. Do popredia sa dostáva jej hlavný hrdina Martin Junec, no i postavy, ktoré mali v prvej časti len epizódny charakter. Ústredný protagonista z prvého románu Rácz sa tu už iba mihne....

Výběr čtyř příběhů slavného detektiva Sherlocka Holmese obsahuje následující povídky: Skandál v Čechách, kde neporazitelného detektiva překoná ženský důvtip, Ligu zrzavých, příběh o nezdařeném pokusu o velkou bankovní loupež, Případ totožnosti, v němž prostoduchá mladá dědička v den svatby marně čeká na svého ženicha, a příběh Pět pomerančových jadérek, kdy Sherlock Holmes nedokáže včas zabránit dovršení tragédie jedné rodiny. Mistr dedukce tedy i přes rozluštění všech záhad nevychází z každého případu jako absolutní vítěz. – The collection of four stories about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes contains the following short stories: A Scandal in Bohemia, where the invincible detective is overcome by female wit, The Adventure of the Red-headed League, the story of a failed attempt on a big bank robbery, A Case of Identity, in which a simple-minded young heiress awaits in vain her groom on her wedding day, and The Five Orange Pips, when Sherlock Holmes cannot prevent in time the completion of the tragedy in one family. So despite unravelling all the mysteries, the master of deduction is not an absolute winner in solving of each case.

Power of Habit
In "The Power of Habit", award-winning "New York Times" business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation's largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death. At its core, "The Power of Habit" contains an exhilarating argument: the key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

1928, Paris

As he grows into a young man, falling in love and taking classes at the prestigious Conservatoire de Paris, he can almost forget the terrors of his past, or the promise he has vowed to keep.

The sisters must confront the idea that their adored father was someone they barely knew. And even more shockingly: that these long-buried secrets may still have consequences for them today.

A beautiful new limited edition paperback of The Song of Achilles, published as part of the Bloomsbury Modern Classics list
The god touches his finger to the arrow's fletching. Then he breathes, a puff of air - as if to send dandelions flying, to push toy boats over water. And the arrow flies, straight and silent, in a curving, downward arc towards Achilles' back.
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, the boys develop a tender friendship, a bond which blossoms into something deeper as they grow into young men.
But when Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Achilles is dispatched to distant Troy to fulfil his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.
