Le Sang des Pierres
À la fonte des neiges, les gens du continent regagnent l'île d'Öland. Peter Mörner s'est installé dans la maison familiale, pour trouver la paix, loin de son père. De sa luxueuse villa, Vendela Larsson regarde cette lande dont elle connaît tous les secrets. Gerloff, vieux loup de mer, a voulu revoir, peut-être pour la dernière fois, le soleil de son enfance... Mais la mort rôde en cette nuit de Walpurgis qui célèbre traditionnellement la fin de l'hiver, et les drames du passé, dont témoigne la couleur rouge sang de la falaise entre la carrière et la lande, resurgissent...L'intrigue balance entre le présent de l'île et son passé pauvre et ténébreux, peuplé de noyés, de fantômes, d'elfes et de trolls. Pourtant, l'histoire parvient à se maintenir jusqu'au bout à la lisière du surnaturel sans jamais la franchir tout à fait.

Too Ghoul for School
St Sebastian's School in Grimesford is the pits. No, really - it is. Built on the boggy remains of a medieval plague pit, this once proud school's dodgy nineteenth-century foundations are causing it to slowly subside. Every year it sinks a little further into the ground, and every year the ghosts of the plague victims underneath become more disgruntled. All they want is to rest in peace, but during term time all they hear is the clatter of hundreds of pairs of high school kids' feet overhead.The ghosts - egged on by their spooky ringleader, Edith Codd - decide to get their own back, and they're willing to play dirty. Really dirty. They swarm into the St Sebastian's sewer system and start to kick up a stink the only way they know how. Popping up through pipes and taps, they invade the school, morphing into monsters and zombies, performing possessions and hauntings, and generally causing as much mischief as in inhumanly possible.But the ghosts haven't reckoned on three friends in year seven, James, Alexander and Lenny. In this book, their school play - Romeo and Ghouliet - is targeted for destruction by Edith, but they cleverly manage to avert disaster and win St Sebastian's a new drama block in the process.

Teach the Torches to Burn: A Romeo & Juliet Remix
In the Remixed Classics series, authors from marginalized backgrounds reinterpret classic works through their own cultural lens to subvert the overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon. Queer star-crossed love amid a centuries-old feud takes center stage in this Romeo & Juliet remix that knows sometimes, the best way is to make it gay.
Verona, Italy. Seventeen-year-old aspiring artist Romeo dreams of a quiet life with someone who loves him just as he is. But as the heir to the Montague family, he is expected to give up his "womanly" artistic pursuits and uphold the family honor—particularly in their centuries-old blood feud with a rival family, the Capulets. Worse still, he is also expected to marry a well-bred girl approved by his parents and produce heirs. But the more Romeo is forced to mingle with eligible maidens, the harder it is to keep his deepest secret: He only feels attracted to other boys.
In an attempt to forget his troubles for just one night, Romeo joins his cousin in sneaking into a Capulet party. During a fateful encounter in the garden, he meets the kindest, most beautiful boy he's ever met, and is shocked to learn he's Valentine, the younger brother of one of his closest friends. He is even more shocked to discover that Valentine is just as enamored with Romeo as Romeo is with him.
So begins a tender romance that the boys must hide from their families and friends, each of them longing for a world where they could be together without fear. And as the conflict between the Montagues and Capulets escalates out of control, Romeo and Valentine find themselves in danger of losing each other forever—if not by society's scorn, then by the edge of a blade.
Júlia
Amikor Julie Jacobs egy kulcsot örököl egy páncéldobozhoz, amelyért Sienába kell mennie, megtudja, hogy a kulcs birtokában régi családi kincshez juthat. Hamarosan kanyargós és veszélyes útra indul őse, Giulietta élettörténetében, akinek egy Rómeó nevű ifjú iránti legendás szerelme alapjaiban rengette meg a középkori Sienát. Miközben sorra megismerkedik azoknak a családoknak a leszármazottaival, akik között véres viszály dúl Shakespeare drámájában, fokozatosan ráébred, hogy az átok -"Pusztuljon mindkét család!" - továbbra is él, s hogy ő a következő célpont. Balsorsától egyvalaki mentheti meg Julie-t, mégpedig Rómeó - de hol van ő?
The Physics of Sorrow
In the small and the insignificant - that's where life hides, that's where it builds its nest.
Our unnamed narrator is not well. He suffers from attacks of 'pathological empathy', which cause him to wander unbidden into other people's memories. He moves from recollection to recollection - from a Bulgarian country fair in 1925, where he meets a Minotaur, to inside the mind of a slug, as it is swallowed by his own Grandfather.
Part family history, part coming-of-age story, part meditation on life in Communist Europe, The Physics of Sorrow is a dazzlingly inventive, mind-expanding novel from one of Europe's most important writers.

The Food of Italy
Claudia Roden travelled up and down Italy for a year, through every region, taking in city and countryside, to discover the local specialities on their home ground. She visited the kitchens of both professional and private cooks, watching them at work and listening to their stories. From simple and rustic to grand bravura, the recipes she collected and tested represent traditional regional dishes as they are cooked today in Italy, and as they can now be cooked in our own kitchens, with ease and delight.
The food of the Italian regions - simple, unaffected but fresh and full of flavour - is the kind of food we all want to eat today. Made up of over 300 recipes, Claudia Roden's timeless and enchanting book is set against a backdrop of the story of Italy and its people - 'a splendid history, geography and cooking lesson rolled into one'.
