Nothing More to Tell
From the internationally bestselling author of Netflix's hottest new show, One of Us is Lying, comes a new, page-turning thriller...
True crime can leave a false trail. Four years ago, Brynn left Saint Ambrose School following the shocking murder of her favourite teacher. The case was never solved, but she's sure that the three kids who found Mr.
Larkin's body know more than they're telling, especially her ex-best friend Tripp Talbot. He's definitely hiding something. When Brynn gets an internship working on a popular true-crime show, she decides to investigate what really happened that day in the woods.
But the further she dives into the past, the more secrets she finds. Four years ago someone got away with murder. Now it's time to uncover the truth.
Before We Were Strangers
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist "missed connection" post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City.
To the Green-eyed Lovebird:
We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.
You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.
We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn't stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.
Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding...
I didn't see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn't know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello.
After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I've spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half?
Things We Left Behind
THE ALL NEW NOVEL FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FOLLOW-UP TO TIKTOK SENSATION THINGS WE NEVER GOT OVER AND 2023'S THINGS WE HIDE FROM THE LIGHT.
There was only one woman who could set me free. But I would rather set myself on fire than ask Sloane Walton for anything. Lucian Rollins is a lean, mean vengeance-seeking mogul.
On a quest to erase his father's mark on the family name, he spends every waking minute pulling strings and building an indestructible empire. The more money and power he amasses, the safer he is from threats. Except when it comes to the feisty small-town librarian that keeps him up at night .
. . Sloane Walton is a spitfire determined to carry on her father's quest for justice.
She'll do that just as soon as she figures out exactly what the man she hates did to - or for - her family. Bonded by an old, dark secret from the past and the dislike they now share for each other, Sloane trusts Lucian about as far as she can throw his designer-suited body. When bickering accidentally turns to foreplay, these two find themselves not quite regretting their steamy one-night stand.
Once those flames are fanned, it seems impossible to put them out again. But with Sloane ready to start a family and Lucian refusing to even consider the idea of marriage and kids, these enemies-to-lovers are stuck at an impasse. Broken men break women.
It's what Lucian believes, what he's witnessed, and he's not going to take that chance with Sloane. He'd rather live a life of solitude than put her in danger. But he learns the hard way that leaving her means leaving her unprotected from other threats.
It's the second time he's ruthlessly cut her out of his life. There's no way she's going to give him a third chance. He's just going to have to make one for himself.
Kult WE
Nahliadnite do zákulisia firmy WeWork v podaní novinárov, ktorí odhalili škandalózne praktiky jeho bezškrupulózneho zakladateľa trpiaceho grandióznym sebaklamom.
Adam Neumann sa do New Yorku presťahoval v roku 2001 potom, ako odslúžil päť zo siedmich rokov povinnej vojenskej služby v izraelskom námorníctve. O pätnásť rokov neskôr sa ocitol v pozícii sympatického riaditeľa spoločnosti s hodnotou 47 miliárd dolárov. Takmer dvojmetrový mladík s dlhými vlasmi a ústami plnými rečí, že život má byť prechádzka ružovou záhradou, bol zosobnením predstáv o podnikateľovi zo Silicon Valley. Ponúkal takmer hypnotizujúcu víziu: radikálnu zmenu pracovného prostredia šitú na mieru generácii mileniálov. Nazval ju WeWork.
Neumannove ambície podporované miliardami dolárov od investorov rástli do neba. WeWork už nemal byť len poskytovateľom kancelárskych priestorov, mal stavať školy, budovať mestá či kolonizovať Mars. Spoločnosť v honbe za víziou svojho zakladateľa míňala peniaze rýchlejšie, než ich dokázala nadobudnúť. Šéf firmy brázdil celú zemeguľu na súkromnom lietadle v marihuanovom opare a snažil sa získavať ďalší kapitál, no koncom roka 2019, bezprostredne pred vstupom na burzu, sa mu všetko rozpadlo pod rukami. Neumanna vyhnali z vlastnej firmy, no jeho status miliardára tým nijako neutrpel.
Nevšedný rast firmy WeWork prilákal najrôznejšie postavy finančného systému, ochotné ignorovať zjavné riziká. Jej náhly prepad však začal nadobúdať podobné kontúry ako v prípade neslávne známej firmy Theranos. Ako je možné, že sa niektoré z najväčších bánk a množstvo renomovaných investorov dokázalo nadchnúť pre takýto zjavný podfuk? A čo to znamená pre budúcnosť startupov v Silicon Valley? Odpoveď na tieto a ďalšie otázky o vzostupe a páde firmy WeWork hľadajú reportéri denníka Wall Street Journal Eliot Brown a jeho kolegyňa Maureen Farrell.

Jeho hudobný štýl, od rytmického cítenia až po používanie gitár z nylonových strún, bol silne ovplyvnený brazílskou hudbou.K 15. výročiu vydania legendárneho albumu vychádza "Deluxe Edition" s novým prvotriednym originálnym obalom a 14 bonusovými skladbami

The Stories Old Towns Tell
A fascinating journey through Europe’s old towns, exploring why we treasure them—but also what they hide about a continent’s fraught history
Historic quarters in cities and towns across the middle of Europe were devastated during the Second World War—some, like those of Warsaw and Frankfurt, had to be rebuilt almost completely. They are now centers of peace and civility that attract millions of tourists, but the stories they tell about places, peoples, and nations are selective. They are never the whole story.
These old towns and their turbulent histories have been key sites in Europe’s ongoing theater of politics and war. Exploring seven old towns, from Frankfurt and Prague to Vilnius in Lithuania, the acclaimed writer Marek Kohn examines how they have been used since the Second World War to conceal political tensions and reinforce certain versions of history.
Uncovering hidden stories behind these old and old-seeming façades, Kohn offers us a new understanding of the politics of European history-making—showing how our visits to old towns could promote belonging over exclusion, and empathy over indifference.
Before We Say Goodbye
The million-copy bestselling series
Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s poignant Before we say goodbye, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?
The regulars at the magical Cafe Funiculi Funicula are well acquainted with its famous legend and extraordinary, secret menu time travel offering. Many patrons have reunited with old flames, made amends with estranged family, and visited loved ones. But the journey is not without risks and there are rules to follow. Travellers must have visited the cafe previously and most importantly, must return to the present in the time it takes for their coffee to go cold.
In the tradition of Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, readers will once again be introduced to a new set of visitors:
The husband with something important left to say
The woman who couldn’t bid her dog farewell
The woman who couldn’t answer a proposal
The daughter who drove her father away . . .
In the hauntingly beautiful Before we say goodbye, Kawaguchi invites us to join his characters as they embark on a journey to revisit one crucial moment in time.

Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn't changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi's car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected: the 11-year-old niece she didn't know she had. Now she's stuck in town with no job, no plan, no home and a whole lot of extra responsibility.
There's a reason local barber Knox doesn't do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi's life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into trouble, he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.
At least that's the plan, until their lives begin to entwine in ways they never imagined . . .
