“Pay attention, fangirls, because Ashley Poston’s Geekerella is about to be your favorite YA romance.”—Sweety High
“The geekiest spin on Cinderella you'll ever read.”—Hypable
“Geeks and non-geeks will discover their inner fangirl when they fall for this fan-tastic book that celebrates fan-doms, fan-tasy, and 'shipworthy romance’.”—Justine
“With geekily adorable characters, a show that’s part Star Trek and part Firefly, a cosplay contest, and a food truck fairy godmother, this is a love letter to fandom. Required reading for geeks everywhere.”—Booklist
“This charming and funny twist on Cinderella is the perfect YA fandom fairytale.” —BNTeen blog
“Geekerella…couldn't be sweeter or more fun…. If you're a fan of Fangirl, or a fan yourself, this is the version of Cinderella for you.”—New York Journal of Books
“Geekerella hits the spot. It’s an uplifting, adorable take on a classic fairy tale with a lovable heroine and a story that would have delighted 12-year-old me, but actually did manage to elate jaded, cynical adult me. Ashley Poston gets my stamp of approval on this Cinderella story.”—Geeks of Doom
“A celebration of fandom and happily ever afters, this feel-good reimagining hits all the right notes.”—Publishers Weekly
“[Geekerella] is a fresh, fun, charming retelling of Cinderella just for fangirls, with wonderfully human characters, great storytelling, and fun little details.”—Page Turners
“Heirloom cosplay, fairy godfriends, and a new fandom with the swooniest OTP. Equal parts Fangirl and This Is What Happy Looks Like, Geekerella is so. Frakking. Good.” —Lily Anderson, author of The Only Thing Worse Than Me Is You
“I've never had this much fun reading a fairytale retelling! Geekerella is hilarious, packed with emotional punches, and steeped in so much love for fandom and con culture. We've all known the Cinderella story since preschool, but Ashley Poston's version feels so fresh and real that I genuinely worried Elle might not make it to the ball.”—Alison Cherry, author of Look Both Ways and For Real
“Fun, funny, and fan-tastic! I rooted for Elle and Darien from page one.” —Sarah Ahiers, author of Assassin’s Heart and Thief’s Cunning
“Adorkable, geektastic, nerderiffic… however you describe it, Geekerella is scrumptious! Ashley Poston’s fandom is one you’ll definitely want to join.” —Tiffany Schmidt, author of Break Me Like A Promise and Bright Before Sunrise

Anatomy of a Scandal
'People are calling this the new Apple Tree Yard, but I'd beg to differ - fast, pacy and with enough twists and turns to keep you gripped right to the end, I'd argue its infinitely better' The Pool `Well-written, pacy and full of twists and turns' Independent 'Gripping. A savage indictment of class, privilege and toxic masculinity in Britain ... Almost impossible to put down' Louise O'Neill 'Deftly plotted ... with an eerie relevance to the current debate surrounding the attitudes to and experiences of women in Westminster, Hollywood and beyond' Laura Barnett `The best courtroom drama since Apple Tree Yard ... sensational' Clare Mackintosh A high-profile marriage thrust into the spotlight. A wife, determined to keep her family safe, must face a prosecutor who believes justice has been a long time coming. A scandal that will rock Westminster. And the women caught at the heart of it. Anatomy of a Scandal centres on a high-profile marriage that begins to unravel when the husband is accused of a terrible crime. Sophie is sure her husband, James, is innocent and desperately hopes to protect her precious family from the lies which might ruin them. Kate is the barrister who will prosecute the case - she is equally certain that James is guilty and determined he will pay for his crimes. `A compelling and cautionary story about how we can never truly know someone else; how even after twelve years of marriage, a wife might not know everything about her husband. Brilliant, shocking, and gripping, once I started, I couldn't stop reading' Claire Fuller, bestselling author of Our Endless Numbered Days `Sarah Vaughan drip feeds revelations while exploring the power and privilege of political elite' Good Housekeeping `Think last year's drama Liar with a dash of Apple Tree Yard' Sunday Mirror 'That rare book that combines great writing, spot-on characterisation and a compulsive, page-turning narrative. I read it in one breathless day. Set against a fascinating backdrop of the Houses of Parliament, the Old Bailey and Oxford University, think House of Cards meets The Secret History. Meticulously researched, this is an outstanding read' Fiona Cummins, author of Rattle `A timely thriller about marriage, but also about power, who wields it, and how that affects who we believe' Stylist `Expertly plotted courtroom drama ... Gripping and beautifully written' Sunday Post `Marks a shift in genre for Vaughan and promises to explore the nature of power and privilege among the country's political elite' Belfast Telegraph `Anatomy of a Scandal has bestseller written all over it' Veronica Henry, author of The Forever House `I was hooked right from the start. So beautifully written, clever and compelling. I was gripped right up to the final page' Claire Douglas, bestselling author of The Sisters and Local Girl Missing `Am I allowed to choose my book of the year in May? Anatomy of a Scandal is astoundingly good - a tour de force. I absolutely loved it' Eve Chase, bestselling author of Black Rabbit Hall `Fearless, thought-provoking, unflinching, fascinating, beautifully written' Rosie Walsh, author of Ghosted `Incredibly authentic, highly involving character drama here, in a story that could easily be ripped from the headlines' Booklikes.com `The Good Wife meets The Affair - fantastic!' @bleachhouselibrary

The Soft Edge
What Does it Take to Get Ahead Now--And Stay There? High performance has always required shrewd strategy and superb execution. These factors remain critical, especially given today's unprecedented business climate. But Rich Karlgaard--Forbes publisher, entrepreneur, investor, and board director--takes a surprising turn and argues that there is now a third element that's required for competitive advantage. It fosters innovation, it accelerates strategy and execution, and it cannot be copied or bought. It is found in a perhaps surprising place--your company's values. Karlgaard examined a variety of enduring companies and found that they have one thing in common; all have leveraged their deepest values alongside strategy and execution, allowing them to fuel growth as well as weather hard times. Karlgaard shares these stories and identifies the five key variables that make up every organization's "soft edge": Trust: Northwestern Mutual has built a $25 million dollar revenue juggernaut on trust, the foundation of lasting success. Learn how to create an environment that engenders trust and propels high performance. Smarts: In most technical fields your formal education quickly becomes out of date. How do you keep up? Learn how the Mayo Clinic, Stanford University women's basketball team, and others stay on top by relentlessly pursuing an advantage through smarts. Teamwork: Since collaboration and innovation are a must in the global economy, effective teamwork is vital. Learn how global giant FedEx stays focused and how nimble Nest Labs relies on lean teams with cognitive diversity. Taste: Clever product design and integration are proxies for intelligence because they make customers feel smart. But taste goes further into deep emotional engagement. Specialized Bicycles calls it "the elusive spot between data truth and human truth." How can you consistently make products or services that trigger these emotional touch points? Story: Companies that achieve lasting success have an enduring and emotionally appealing story. What's your company's story? How do you tell it your way? Gain the ability to create a powerful narrative in a world where outsiders often exercise the louder voice.

On the Bright Side
85-year-old Hendrik Groen is fed up to his false teeth with coffee mornings and bingo.
He dreams of escaping the confines of his care home and practicing hairpin turns on his mobility scooter. Inspired by his fellow members of the recently formed Old-But-Not-Dead Club, he vows to put down his Custard Cream and commit to a spot of octogenarian anarchy.
But the care home's Director will not stand for drunken bar crawls, illicit fireworks and geriatric romance on her watch. The Old-But-Not-Dead Club must stick together if they're not to go gently into that good night. Things turn more serious, however, when rumours surface that the home is set for demolition. It's up to Hendrik and the gang to stop it - or drop dead trying . . .
He may be the wrong side of 85, but Hendrik Groen has no intention of slowing up - or going down without a fight.
Praise for Hendrik Groen
'A story with a great deal of heart, it pulled me in with its self-deprecating humour, finely drawn characters and important themes. Anyone who hopes to grow old with dignity will have much to reflect on' Graeme Simsion
'There are many laughs in this book but it's so much more than just a comedy. It's a story about how friendship, selflessness and dignity lie at the heart of the human experience. When I'm an old man, I want to be Hendrik Groen' John Boyne
'A funny but also touching diary praised for its wit and realism' BBC Radio 4 Front Row
'I laughed until I cried and then laughed and cried some more' David Suchet
'Thoughtful, anxious and gruff... Laced with humour' The Best New Fiction Mail on Sunday
'Amusing [and] wickedly accurate ... I was constantly put in mind of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, another comi-tragedy concerning the tyranny of institutions of the unwanted. Enjoy Groen's light touch but do not be fooled by it. We live in an ageing society. The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen is a handbook of resistance for our time' ***** FIVE STARS Sunday Express
'Highly entertaining ... a delightful and touching saga of one man's way of coping with old age ... we may assume that Hendrik Groen is a character of fiction. But it is a fiction so closely based on the observation of real life that it is utterly convincing' Daily Express
'A joy to read, as much concerned with friendship and dignity as it is with the debilitating effects of aging ... An entertaining and uplifting story of a man in the winter of his days, stoic in the face of bureaucratic nonsense and an unabashed need to wear a nappy. Imagined or not, this is the diary of someone who wants nothing more than to be allowed see out his days with dignity and respect. It's not too much to ask, really, is it?' John Boyne Irish Times
'Full of off-beat charm and quirky characters' Cathy Rentzenbrink, Stylist
'Hendrik pens an exposé of his care home, sets up the Old-But-Not-Dead club and relishes the arrival of a new female resident. This geriatric Adrian Mole made me laugh and think. Terrific' Fanny Blake, Woman and Home

La Pipe de Maigret
Il était sept heures et demie. Dans le bureau du chef, avec un soupir d'aise et de fatigue la fois, un soupir de gros homme la fin d'une chaude journée de juillet, Maigret avait machinalement tiré sa montre de son gousset. Puis il avait tendu la main, ramassé ses dossiers sur le bureau d'acajou. La porte matelassée s'était refermée derrire lui et il avait traversé l'antichambre. Personne sur les fauteuils rouges. Le vieux garçon de bureau était dans sa cage vitrée. Le couloir de la Police judiciaire était vide, une longue perspective la fois grise et ensoleillée.

Roof-Gardens and Terraces
Roof gardens are enjoying a revival. Landscape architects are now being followed by architects, project developers and owners of roof terraces in discovering the advantages of plants on the roof. In each of these locations, designers took up the challenge of the building, the urban environment above the roof-line or the landscape. Each spot is so different that it had to look for a new definition of the roof garden or roof terrace. They have come up with new architectural concepts using water, stone, wood, metal, glass, trees, plants and grass, created new green spaces or achieved astonishing effects up on the roof.

Yves Saint Laurent - A XX. század legnagyobb divattervezőjének élete
Ez a könyv - a divattervező első életrajza - annak az érzékeny fiúnak a története, akit erejét és törékenységét megidézve Misima "kötélidegzetű gyermeknek" nevezett, és aki tizenhárom évesen arról álmodott: Egy napon meghódítom Párizst, és fénylő betűkkel áll majd a nevem a Champs-Élysées-n!
Hogyan fér meg egy emberben a 21 évesen Christian Dior helyére lépő sötét öltönyös fiatalember és a Sept 1971-ben meztelenül pózoló világfija? A depressziós férfi, a vörös-arany dicsőség foglya és az ördögi provokátor, aki hatalmas botrányt kavar az Opiummal? Az YSL-birodalom felépítője és a Babylone utcai remete? A sivatagról, szabadságról álmodó örök gyerek és a fehér köpenyes maximalista, aki azért alkotott, hogy természetükből fakadóan eltűnő ruháknak adjon életet?
YSL bukása! A legpocsékabb bemutató Párizsban! Mi tagadás, határozottan és teljességgel förtelmes! Végtelenül ízléstelen, ocsmány, szélsőséges... - It's fantastic! Quelle Merveille! Milyen csodálatos! Őrült siker! Diadal! Yves Párizs bálványa!
S ha kíváncsiak, hogyan csinálja?
Nos, egy női arccal kezdem - vallja a szerelmes ördög -, mert az arc bája a titok, aztán egyszer csak érzem a színeket, a nő illatát, s mint mikor árnyékként átsiklunk egy álomvilágba, látom a ruhát: egy kis csillagpor, holdpor, kis szerelempor... és kész a varázslat

St.Martin Cathedral, Spišská Kapitula
Should you be driving from the direction of Prešov, as soon as you come out of the tunnel and take a turn for what is called ‘the Gothic tour’ leading to Levoča, you will be faced with an amazing view. The first thing you note is a sublime ruinous castle crowning a barren hill. It might appear at first sight as if the white walls were a natural continuation of the chalk tuff protruding from the grassy hillside. Somewhat further away one catches sight of two towers of the church of Spišská Kapitula (Szepeshely) peeping out from behind a closed ring of castle walls. Only then do you notice Spišské Podhradie (Szepesváralja), if at all. In fact you might well become distracted by a third amazing sight – the lonely and gorgeous chestnut ally along the road comes over particularly spectacular against the dreary landscape in which it is set. The ‘city’ is the seat of the bishop and chapter of Spiš in Slovakia, on St. Martin’s Hill which rises to the West of Spišský Hrad -the Slovakian Vatican, as it is called today. Spišský Hrad and Spišská Kapitula lie in the heart of historical Spiš (Szepesség) province and, within that, of Spiš County – a spot of strategic importance. The people of this castle and small city, founded by Hungarians in the 11th-12th centuries, acted as defendors of the region – indeed, of the entire kingdom. The castle has been the seat of the Count of Spiš, of castellanes, stewards and sheriffs – what you will. Their mission was to protect the Northern borders of the country at the head of the 'Gömör guard' and later the Spiš lancers who were made to settle here. Spišská Kapitula, with its canons, headed by the provost, served in the Middle Ages as the chancellors' seat for the count of Spiš. Close ties between the two places are shown, besides their geographic proximity, by the fact that Spišská Kapitula was built on a small hill named after St. Martin the border protector, and the provost's church, founded by Hungarians, which later advanced to become a bishop's cathedral, were also named after this border protecting saint. This is true to the way in which the churches of the surrounding border protecting villages feature wall paintings of the legendary of that other great border protector, King St. László.

But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency. The leader of a fanatical cult, obsessed with traveling beyond the reaches of known space, is bent on opening a cosmic gateway using dreaded dark matter as the key risking a cataclysmic reaction that will consume the entire star system. But more shocking to Lanoree than even the prospect of total galactic annihilation, is the decision of her Je daii Masters to task her with the mission of preventing it. Until a staggering revelation makes clear why she was chosen: The brilliant, dangerous madman she must track down and stop at any cost is the brother whose death she has long grieved and whose life she must now fear. Includes a special, full-color excerpt from the Dark Horse comic "Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi "and an original Dawn of the Jedi short story by John Ostrander! Praise for "Into the Void" "" In a story filled with adventure, intrigue, and great quotes, there s a lot to like in this book. Tim Lebbon dives into his very first "Star Wars" story with a great deal of success. He manages to spin a tale that feels like "Star Wars," but also feels different from other stories that have been told before. While there is some threat of system wide destruction, the point is never pushed to being ridiculous. The characters feel believable and provoke interest. The attention to the characters never takes away from the plot. There s also a remarkable balance between world building, plot and character development, and action. When it comes down to it, "Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void" is just great storytelling. Roqoo Depot A nice, compact "Star Wars" tale that both acts as an introduction to the Dawn of the Jedi period and a standalone story. Club Jade A solidly enjoyable read . . . a nice addition to the Expanded Universe. Tosche Station A good solid "Star Wars" adventure story with heart. Knights Archive"
