The Boy Who Hatched Monsters
Sam's life has always been strange. After all, his family have no idea that he's half monster, half fairy.
But now he's keeping an even bigger secret. He alone has the power to bring monsters to life! (He's even got a tiny gargoyle hatchling hidden in his sock drawer.)
When Queen Maggie finds out, she's delighted. She wants Sam to create her a whole new legion of vile ogres.
When he refuses, she vows that she will destroy everything Sam holds dear. And so the stage is set for a final battle, one that will determine not just Sam's future, but that of the whole of monsterkind ...
The conclusion to T.C. Shelley's magical fantasy trilogy is perfect for fans of Jennifer Bell, Sophie Anderson and Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book.

Author Interview
What was the inspiration behind The Girl Without Magic?
After writing The Tethering series, in which the Siren’s Realm is briefly visited, several readers expressed a wish for an entire series to be placed in that world. It was a great idea, so I ran with it!
The Siren’s Realm is a place linking magical worlds together, which gave me the opportunity to create a series in which my characters could visit amazing lands. Think of this as a fantasy version of the world-hopping concept. Readers who love Doctor Who and magic will have a great time discovering adventure in new magical worlds in every book in this series.
What did you enjoy about writing the character of Maggie Trent?
Maggie is a strong female who is constantly thrown into impossible situations. She is caring and capable, she has seen fighting and death, but ultimately, she has still protected this tiny shred of hope that carries her through. As she visits alternate worlds, as she battles new foes, as she learns to survive in the Siren’s Realm, she still believes that there are people and places worth saving. And that takes an incredible amount of strength.

Tajomstvo - The Secret
Fragmenty Veľkého tajomstva sa po stáročia vynárali v ústnej tradícii, v literatúre a v náboženských či filozofických dielach. Po prvý raz sa všetky zlomky Tajomstva spojili v neuveriteľnom odhalení, ktoré zmení život toho, kto ho zažije na vlastnej koži. V tejto knihe sa naučíte, ako Tajomstvo používať v každej oblasti života – nech sú to peniaze, zdravie, vzťahy či šťastie – a v každej interakcii so svetom. Začnete rozumieť sile, ktorá sa vo vás skrýva, a tento objav vnesie do vášho života radosť. Tajomstvo obsahuje múdrosť dnešných učiteľov, mužov a žien, ktorí ho použili pri budovaní zdravia, bohatstva a šťastia. Kniha prináša ich pôsobivé príbehy o tom, ako im poznanie Tajomstva pomohlo zbaviť sa chorôb, získať bohatstvo, prekonať prekážky a dosiahnuť veci, ktoré by mnohí považovali
za nemožné.
Vo svojich rukách držíte
Veľké tajomstvo…
Prahli po ňom mnohí. Po stáročia ho podávali ďalej, ukrývali, strácali, kradli a kupovali za obrovské sumy peňazí. Dávnym Tajomstvom sa dali viesť mnohé významné osobnosti našich dejín: Platón, Galileo, Beethoven, Edison, Carnegie, Einstein... a vynálezcovia, teológovia, vedci a slávni myslitelia. Teraz je Tajomstvo odhalené celému svetu.
„Ako sa budete prehrýzať knihou a oboznamovať s Tajomstvom, dozviete sa, ako sa môžete stať, čím len chcete a dostať či robiť všetko, po čom zatúžite. Dozviete sa, kto naozaj ste. A zistíte, aká veľkoleposť vás v živote čaká.“

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY:
The New York Times * Time * The Economist * The Washington Post * Vanity Fair * Times Literary Supplement
'What can one person do?' In this vibrant, galvanizing memoir, human rights advocate and Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Samantha Power offers an urgent response to this question.
As she traces her path from Irish immigrant to war correspondent and activist to eventually becoming the youngest-ever US Ambassador to the United Nations, Power writes with a unique blend of suspenseful storytelling, vivid character portraits and disarming honesty.
Her account illuminates the challenges of navigating the halls of power while trying to put one's ideals into practice (and raise two young children along the way), and it shows how - even in the face of daunting challenges - each of us can make a difference.

Geek Girl 6. - A nagy finálé
"Harriet Mannersnek hívnak, geek vagyok, és mindörökké az is leszek..."
Harriet Manners minden létező tényt ismer.
A modellkedés önmagában nem egyenes út a népszerűséghez.
Az sem, ha az ember végtelen mennyiségű listát ír.
Azok, akik szeretnek, nem várják el, hogy megváltozz.
Ha hihetünk a statisztikáknak, akkor sokkal kisebb az esélye annak, hogy nem botlasz bele az ausztrál volt barátodba Ausztráliában, mint annak, hogy mégiscsak összefutsz vele.
Harriet elmegy a messzi déli féltekére, és maga mögött hagyja a listákat, és végre Nat kerül a rivaldafénybe. Most, hogy otthon van egy már-majdnem-de-még-nem-teljesen-barátja, Jasper, Harrietet felkészületlenül éri, amikor váratlanul találkozik szupermodell volt barátjával, Nickkel.
Itt az ideje, hogy Harriet a jövőre koncentráljon. Hogy végre rájöjjön, mi is a szíve vágya. És hogy megtanulja, hogy kell elengedni valakit...
Megérkezett a számos elismerést nyert Geek Girl-sorozat befejező kötete.

Na konci cesty - Krematórium v Bratislave - At the End of the Road The Bratislava Crematorium
Kniha sa podrobne zaoberá mimoriadnym architektonickým dielom - bratislavským krematóriom. Postavili ho pred pol storočím (1968) za neobyčajne priaznivej súhry okolností, no predchádzal tomu dlhý zápas o jeho zriadenie, ktorého počiatky siahajú až do roku 1889. Preto kniha približuje aj históriu moderného kremačného hnutia v Európe so zreteľom na dlhý zápas mesta Bratislava o krematórium, ďalej sa zaoberá domácimi a zahraničnými architektonickými podnetmi, ktoré ovplyvnili architektúru objektu. Okrem príbehu samotnej budovy a urnového hája, v ktorom stojí, sa dočítate o tvorivej dráhe autora budovy, architekta Ferdinanda Milučkého, príslušníka prvej povojnovej slovenskej architektonickej generácie, ale aj súvislostiach vzniku pozoruhodných výtvarných diel z areálu krematória - sôch od troch špičkových slovenských výtvarníkov. Text Matúša Dullu v slovenčine a angličtine sprevádzajú umelecké fotografie Olje Triašky Stefanović. Snímky citlivo zachytávajú premeny krematória a prostredia, v ktorom sa nachádza, počas jednotlivých ročných období. Publikácia vychádza pri príležitosti päťdesiateho výročia vzniku prvého slovenského krematória.
Streets, The - The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light LP
„The Streets“ je anglický hudobný projekt, ktorý vedie spevák a multiinštrumentalista Mike Skinner. Projekt bol založený na začiatku 90. rokov, keď bol Skinner ešte tínedžer; žiadna hudba však formálne nevznikla až do začiatku 21. storočia. V počiatočnej fáze projektu The Streets vydal projekt päť štúdiových albumov: Original Pirate Material (2002), .A Grand Don't Come for Free (2004), The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (2006), Everything Is Borrowed ( 2008) a Computers and blues (2011). V tomto období The Streets vydali aj sériu úspešných singlov, ktoré sa dostali do Top 40 britského singlového rebríčka – vrátane „Has It Come to This?“, „Fit but You Know It“, „Dry Your Eyes“ (tzv. jediný singel číslo jedna), "When You Was't Famous" a "Prangin' Out". Po rozpustení The Streets v roku 2011 sa Skinner venoval niekoľkým ďalším hudobným projektom, než nakoniec v roku 2017 obnovil The Streets. V roku 2020 bol vydaný nový mixtape None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive. Šiesty štúdiový album The Streets "The Darker The Shadow the Brighter the Light" vychádza po 13. rokoch v októbri 2023.

Doctor Who - Shada
Shada. Dobrodružství čtvrtého Doktora, které se nikdy nedostalo na televizní obrazovku. Scénář k němu však v roce 1979 psal Douglas Adams a Gareth Roberts nyní původní text dotvořil do podoby příběhu plného zvratů, zmatků a časoprostorových paradoxů. Doktor se společnicí Romanou obdrží naléhavou žádost o pomoc od svého dávného přítele profesora Chronotise z Cambridge. Když se ale Doktorova TARDIS roku 1979 zhmotní v knihami přeplněné univerzitní pracovně roztržitého starého profesora, který o žádné zprávě nic neví, zdá se, že Doktora s Romanou nečeká nic než projížďky po řece a spousty šálků čaje. To by ovšem nesměli zaslechnout jakési mrazivě nelidské úpění přicházející zdánlivě odnikud. Navíc profesora tíží jedna záhadná ztracená kniha…
Než se Doktor naděje, pronásleduje ho létající koule schopná vysávat myšlenky, která patří Skagrovi, šílenému zločinci, jehož dokonale promyšlený plán na ovládnutí vesmíru může zhatit jen Doktorova chaotická improvizace, při které mu zdatně asistují nejen „humanoidi“ Chris a Clare, ale i mobilní počítač K-9. Otázku, kdo je Skagra, brzy doplní ještě znepokojivější otázka: kdo je ve skutečnosti profesor Chronotis? A bude ve vesmíru dál platit druhý termodynamický zákon? A kdo nebo co je Shada?
