A Blink of the Screen
In the four decades since his first book appeared in print, Terry Pratchett has become one of the world's best-selling and best-loved authors. Here for the first time are his short stories and other short form fiction collected into one volume. A Blink of the Screen charts the course of Pratchett's long writing career: from his schooldays through to his first writing job on the Bucks Free Press,; to the origins of his debut novel, The Carpet People; and on again to the dizzy mastery of the phenomenally successful Discworld series.
Here are characters both familiar and yet to be discovered; abandoned worlds and others still expanding; adventure, chickens, death, disco and, actually, some quite disturbing ideas about Christmas,all of it shot through with his inimitable brand of humour.
With an introduction by Booker Prize-winning author A.S. Byatt, illustrations by the late Josh Kirby and drawings by the author himself, this is a book to treasure.

Blink 182 - One More Time... LP
Blink-182 je americká rocková skupina založená v Poway v Kalifornii v roku 1992. Ich súčasnú a najznámejšiu zostavu tvoria basgitarista/spevák Mark Hoppus, gitarista/spevák Tom DeLonge a bubeník Travis Barker.Po rokoch nezávislého nahrávania a turné, vrátane účinkovania na Warped Tour, skupina podpísala zmluvu s MCA Records. Ich najväčšie albumy Enema of the State (1999) a Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001) zaznamenali značný medzinárodný úspech. Piesne ako "All the Small Things", "Dammit", "I Miss You" a "What's My Age Again?" sa stali hitovými singlami a stálicami MTV. Neskoršie snahy, vrátane albumu bez názvu, zaznamenali štýlové posuny. Hoppus je jediným členom, ktorý zostal v kapele počas celej jej histórie. DeLonge opustil skupinu dvakrát, v oboch prípadoch s odstupom desiatich rokov, než sa nakoniec vrátil. Zakladajúci bubeník Scott Raynor nahrával a koncertoval so skupinou pred tým, ako bol v roku 1998 prepustený, pričom jeho miesto zaujal Barker. V rokoch 2015 až 2022 bol v skupine spevák/gitarista Alkaline Trio Matt Skiba, s ktorým nahrali dva albumy California (2016) a Nine (2019) a na podporu oboch absolvovali turné. Ich deviaty album One More Time... má vyjsť 20. októbra 2023.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

Princ a krása zeme / A Prince and the Beauty of the Earth
Kniha Princ a krása zeme prináša rozprávky z vyše tridsiatky krajín, v ktorých pôsobili slovenskí vojaci od roku 1993 v misiách a operáciách na podporu mieru, pričom rozprávky sú publikované v slovenčine aj v angličtine a ilustroval ich renomovaný výtvarník Martin Kellenberger.
Knihu vydala Vojenská podporná nadácia Bratislava a zostavil ju správca nadácie Milan Gajdoš. Prerozprávali ich vojaci, ktorí v zahraničnom nasadení pôsobili, no aj diplomati, novinári, charitatívni pracovníci či cestovatelia. Súčasťou 378 stranovej knihy je príloha s údajmi o slovenskom zastúpení v jednotlivých operáciách medzinárodného krízového manažmentu, ktorú zostavil publicista Pavol Vitko.
Na ilustráciu: rozprávka Začarované bociany je z Iraku, Dedova rada z Lotyšska, o tom že Dom bez ženy je ako pec bez cesta sa hovorí v rozprávke z Afganistanu, cyperská rozprávka má názov Hodža Aslant – drevorubač, Muž, ktorý robí dobro je zo Sýrie, Hadí kráľ a statočný roľník Vasva z Ugandy, Princ a jeho osud je z Egypta, Teklova koza z Eritrei, Malin Kundag a jeho mamka z Východného Timoru, Kráľov roh je zo Severného Macedónska, Starenka bylinkárka a zlodej z Kuvajtu, Dievča – žabka z Chorvátska a trebárs Princ a krása zeme je z Kosova. Dodajme, že slovenská rozprávka je autorská, napísal ju Ľubomír Feldek a volá sa Keď Pán Boh a Svätý Peter chodili po Slovensku. Ľubomír Feldek pre deti jednu z rozprávok aj prebásnil. Jej názov je Prečo sa opica podobá človeku a pochádza z Mali.

The Wicked King The Folk of the Air 2
I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.
Jude has tricked Cardan onto the throne, binding him to her for a year and a day. But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed. Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all . . .
The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air
"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.
The Queen of Nothing – A semmi királynője (A levegő népe 3.)
A hatalmat sokkal könnyebb megragadni, mint megtartani.
Jude alaposan megtanulta ezt a leckét, amikor mérhetetlen hatalomért cserébe lemondott a gonosz király, Cardan feletti uralmáról.
Tündérfölde száműzött halandó királynéjaként elveszettnek érzi magát, a semmi királynőjének. Ám megfogadja, hogy mindent visszaszerez, amit elvettek tőle. Az esély kétszínű ikertestvére, a szintén halandó Taryn képében érkezik meg, akinek az élete veszélybe kerül.
Jude kénytelen vállalni a kockázatot, és visszatérni a veszedelmes tündérudvarba, valamint szembenézni a Cardan iránti érzéseivel, hogy megmentse a nővére életét. Csakhogy sok minden megváltozott Elfhonban a távozása óta. Háború közeleg. Jude beférkőzik az ellenséges tábor mélyére, és ő maga is belekeveredik a véres politikai csatározásba.
Amikor egy eddig szunnyadó, ám igen erős átok elszabadul, pánik söpör végig a vidéken, és Jude választani kényszerül a becsvágya és az embersége között…
A levegő népe trilógiájának várva várt, döbbenetes fináléja.

The Diary of a CEO
This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons. This is a book about something much more permanent.
At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.
These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.
They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.
These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started?
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Chalice of the Gods
The original heroes from The Lightning Thief are reunited for their biggest challenge yet: getting Percy to college when the gods are standing in his way. After saving the world multiple times, Percy Jackson is hoping to have a normal senior year. Unfortunately, the gods aren't quite done with him.
Percy will have to fulfil three quests in order to get the necessary three letters of recommendation from Mount Olympus for college. The first quest is to help Zeus's cup-bearer retrieve his goblet before it falls into the wrong hands. Can Percy, Grover, and Annabeth find it in time? Readers new to Percy Jackson and fans who have been awaiting this reunion for more than a decade will delight equally in this latest hilarious take on Greek mythology.
