Halo: The Thursday War
WELCOME TO HUMANITY'S NEW WAR: SILENT, HIGH STAKES, AND UNSEEN. This is a life-or-death mission for ONI's black-ops team, Kilo-Five, which is tasked with preventing the rutheless Elites, once the military leaders of the Covenant, from regrouping and threatening humankind again. What began as a routine dirty-tricks operation - keeping the Elites busy with their own insurrection - turns into a desperate bid to extract one member of Kilo-Five from the seething heart of an alien civil war. But troubles never come singly for Kilo-Five. Colonial terrorism is once again surfacing on one of the worlds that survived the war against the Covenant, and the man behind it is much more than just a name to Spartan-010. Meanwhile, the treasure trove of Forerunner technology recovered from the shield world of Onyx is being put to work. And a kidnapped Elite plots vengeance on the humans he fears will bring his people to the brink of destruction.

Kingdom of the Feared
Two curses. One prophecy. And a love more powerful than fate... All hail the king and queen of Hell.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco delivers sizzling romance, sexy secrets, and unexpected twists in this unforgettable conclusion to the Kingdom of the Wicked series.
Emilia is reeling from a shocking discovery about her sister, Vittoria. But before she faces the demons of her past, Emilia yearns to claim her king, the seductive Prince of Wrath, in the flesh. She doesn't just desire his body; she wants his heart and soul-but that's something the enigmatic demon can't promise her.
When a high-ranking member of House Greed is assassinated, damning evidence somehow points to Vittoria as the murderer. Now, Emilia will do anything to get to the bottom of these accusations against the sister she thought she knew.
Together, Emilia and Wrath play a sin-fuelled game of deception to solve the murder and stop the unrest that's brewing between witches, demons, shape-shifters, and the most treacherous foes of all: the Feared. Emilia was warned that when it came to the Wicked, nothing was as it seemed. But have the true villains been much closer all along?

Schiele
After Egon Schiele (1890-1918) freed himself from the shadow of his mentor and role model Gustav Klimt, he had just ten years to inscribe his signature style into the annals of modernity before the Spanish flu claimed his life. Being a child prodigy quite aware of his own genius and a passionate provocateur, this didn't prove to be too big a challenge.
His haggard, overstretched figures, extreme depiction of sexuality and self-portraits, in which he staged himself with emaciated facial expressions bordering between brilliance and madness, had none of the decorative quality of Klimt's hymns of love, sexuality and yearning devotion. Instead, Schiele's work spoke of a brutal honesty, one that would upset and irreversibly change Viennese society.
Although his works were later defamed as "degenerate" and for a time were almost forgotten altogether, they influenced generations of artists-from Gunter Brus and Francis Bacon to Tracey Emin. Today, his then misunderstood oeuvre continues to fetch exorbitant prices on the international art market.
This monograph, first published in an XL edition, is now available in a slightly abridged, more compact edition to celebrate TASCHEN's 40th anniversary and features the paintings and drawings that retrace the fertile last decade of Schiele's life. These works are accompanied by essays introducing his life and oeuvre, situating the Austrian master in the context of European Expressionism and charting his extraordinary legacy.

Kto si
Už názov knihy dáva tušiť, že bude reč o poznaní, presnejšie o nepoznaní či nepoznateľnosti sveta, v ktorom žijeme, ale aj sveta, ktorým žijeme. Teda sveta, ktorým je človek. Pre úvahy na tému ľudského poznania a jeho limitov rozhodol som sa pre nezvyčajný experiment, ktorým som spojil stáročia obdivované umenie renesančných majstrov s poznatkami vedy, ktorá sa pokúša, no dosť márne, odhaľovať tajomstvá ľudskej duše a ľudského mozgu. Tie tajomstvá, ktoré sú prítomné u každého z nás bez rozdielu. Nikoho nepoznáme, nevieme, kde je skrytý ten ľudský génius, ktorý hýbe technickým pokrokom, ale ani ten, ktorý vytvoril umelecké diela už v dávnej minulosti a ktoré s neutíchajúcou intenzitou obdivujú celé generácie ľudstva. Mona Lisa, ktorá je na obálke knihy, symbolizuje tieto záhady, to nepoznané. A otázka „kto si“ vyjadruje odveké túžby človeka po poznaní, ale často aj chcenie nemožného. Aký to paradox. Toto nepoznané, ba až nepoznateľné, nebráni nám, aby sme s úžasom a pokorou obdivovali výtvory ľudského génia vo všetkých oblastiach ľudskej činnosti. Na túto skutočnosť, na tento nemenný jav, ktorý sa tiahne celou históriou ľudstva, chcem upozorniť aj touto knižkou, ktorej ambíciou je dať čitateľovi informáciu o možnostiach a obmedzeniach ľudského poznania sveta, v ktorom žije, ale aj o stave poznania človeka samého a to všetko na pozadí umeleckých výtvorov renesančných majstrov, ale aj majstrov baroka a romantizmu. To, že sa vraciam do renesancie, má svoju logiku. Totiž, vedecký pohľad na vzťah duša – telo (psychika – mozog) sa začal uplatňovať práve v období renesancie, teda vtedy, keď aj výtvarné umenie zaznamenalo nebývalý rozmach, nie iba akúsi obrodu antického umenia, ale jeho koncepčné povýšenie na kvalitatívne vyššiu úroveň. Navyše, obidve tieto oblasti sa v tom čase navzájom výrazne ovplyvňovali. Tento prienik umenia a vedy som sa pokúsil vyjadriť aj vo veršoch niekoľkých básní, ktoré sú vložené do textu knihy. Tieto básne poetickou formou zdôrazňujú ten odveký filozofický, gnozeologický, umelecký, ale aj morálny aspekt ľudského konania, teda nielen konania vedcov a umelcov. Konania toho človeka, ktorého dokonca už filozofi gréckej antiky považovali za homo philosophicus, teda človeka mysliteľa – filozofa.

Palackposta
2009-et írunk. Skóciában egy palackba zárt üzenetet sodor partra a tenger. A foszladozó papíron már alig olvashatók a vérrel írt sorok, amelyben egy testvérpár kér segítséget. A vizsgálódó helyi rendőrök kiderítik, hogy a palackot Dániában dobták vízbe, 1996-ban. Így kerül az ügy a koppenhágai rendőrség döglött aktákkal foglalkozó osztályára, azaz Carl Morck nyomozó asztalára. Carl, valamint segítői, Assad és Rose gyorsan rájönnek arra, hogy a levelet egy bizonyos Poul Holt írta, akit öccsével együtt raboltak el tizenhárom évvel ezelőtt, ám az eltűnésüket annak idején nem jelentették. De élnek, élhetnek-e még, s ha igen, vajon hol?

The Protection of Love
After her mother had succumbed to pneumonia and followed her husband to the grave, beautiful young Meta Lindley is bereft.
Now that her much-loved brother Richard is away in London most of the time, she is alone in the family’s once laughter-filled Manor House with only silence and her father’s pedigree stable of horses for company.
Meta is delighted when Richard pays her a surprise visit, but when he reveals that he and their Diplomat father had worked as undercover Agents, it is Richard who is taken aback to find that Meta and their Mama had known all along!
Then, to Meta’s amazement, Richard asks her to undertake a vital and very perilous spy mission of her own. A Russian Prince, whom Queen Victoria suspects is a spy, has arrived in England with his young sister, Princess Nathlia, and is looking for a country house where he can hunt and ride superb horses.
Richard has offered to rent The Manor House to Prince Alexis for the Season and has offered Meta’s services as English Tutor to the seventeen-year-old Princess Nathlia.
In that guise Meta’s mission is to observe the Russians and report back to the Queen any suspicious behaviour that might suggest that the Prince is indeed a spy.
Soon Meta finds that there is very much more to the handsome Prince and the stunningly beautiful Princess than meets the eye and, as she watches her beloved brother fall in love with Princess Nathlia, and she with him, she despairs of ever finding such a sublime love of her own.

Cyrus Miley - Bangerz: 10th Anniversary 2LP
Miley Ray Cyrus (narodená ako Destiny Hope Cyrus, 23. novembra 1992) je americká speváčka, skladateľka a herečka. Prezývaná „Pop Chameleon“ bola uznávaná pre svoju hudobnú všestrannosť a neustále umelecké objavy. Cyrus bola označovaná ako „tínedžerská kráľovná“ popkultúry 21. storočia a považovaná za jeden z mála príkladov detskej hviezdy, ktorá pokračovala v úspešnej kariére ako dospelá. Medzi jej ocenenia patrí 19 ocenení Teen Choice Awards, štyri ceny World Music Awards, tri ceny MTV Video Music Awards, dve ceny Billboard Music Awards, People's Choice Award, GLAAD Media Award a osem Guinessových rekordov. Bola zaradená medzi deviatu najlepšiu umelkyňu Billboard 200 všetkých čias a bola uvedená v zoznamoch ako Time 100 v rokoch 2008 a 2014, Forbes 30 Under 30 v rokoch 2014 a 2021 a Billboard „Greatest of All Time Artists“ v roku 2019.
Bangerz je štvrtý štúdiový album, vydaný 30. septembra 2013 vo vydavateľstve RCA Records. Cyrus sa rozhodla obnoviť svoju hudobnú kariéru namiesto toho, aby sa sústredila na svoju hereckú kariéru, ako pôvodne plánovala, a začala plánovať projekt v polovici roku 2012. Práca pokračovala aj v roku 2013, keď podpísala zmluvu s RCA Records. Bangerz, ktorú Cyrus opísal ako „špinavý južný hip-hop“, predstavuje hudobný odklon od svojej predchádzajúcej tvorby, od ktorej sa začala cítiť „odpojená“. Ako výkonní producenti Cyrus a Mike Will Made It spolupracovali s hip-hopovými producentmi vrátane Pharrella Williamsa, Orena Yoela, Rami Samira Afuniho, Dr. Lukea a Michaela McHenryho. Ich úsilie vyústilo do primárne popovej a R&B nahrávky s lyrickými témami, ktoré sa točia prevažne okolo romantiky. Obsahuje vokály hostí od niekoľkých nových partnerov, vrátane popovej speváčky Britney Spears a rapperov Big Sean, French Montana, Future, Ludacris a Nelly. Cyrus je spoluautorom dvanástich zo šestnástich skladieb

Falling For The Groom
Take one unhappy groom about to make the worst decision ever and marry a cheating bridezilla carrying another man's baby, add one wedding planner slash ex-lover caught in the middle and Sierra has found herself in a disaster waiting to happen.
Sierra should never have taken up the job, but she couldn't say no, not with him looking at her like that.
When she finds out the truth, she goes to confront him and tell him to call the wedding off, but left alone for the first time, they lose themselves to their lust and desire. She's tied with ropes and whipped into submission, blindfolded and left for others to share, brought to such pleasures as she has never known before and honestly, this isn’t the kind of disaster that she had prepared herself for.
~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~
"Did you know he bites during sex? Have your lovers ever bitten you during sex before?" The woman blinks up innocently at Sierra through the mirror, but doesn't pause long enough for her to come up with an answer to the inappropriate question because she doesn't actually care. It's merely a dramatic pause so Sierra could act all surprised and ask for details, but Sierra doesn't actually care about details.
Sierra wonders briefly if she could get paid for listening to the things that come out of her mouth. She could be one of those Anonymous Sources that appear in tabloid news articles.
"Has he ever bitten you during sex?" she asks and Sierra lets that silence drag on until it becomes uncomfortable and she clears her throat before continuing like she hasn't asked the question at all. "Of course not," she dismisses the thought easily. "I suppose he only does it with me because we're engaged."
She rubs the ring she's wearing and chews her lip like she's still considering the engagement and thinking of changing her mind or something.
"It's rather horrible," she sighs, closing her eyes as Sierra twists her ponytail into a french braid, fingers trembling slightly from having to resist the urge to yank her hair. "The other day he wanted to tie me up. Can you believe it? It's so gross. I bet he never tried anything like that to his previous girlfriends."
Sierra does the breathing exercise she's learned a few weeks ago when she started dealing with Jen.
"I swear, he worships the ground I walk on. I mean-"
She can't do this anymore. "Please keep your eyes and mouth close? I need to set your hair." She shakes the can several times and musters a smile for Jen, who seems crestfallen that Sierra isn't so affected by what she's saying. The sound of hairspray drowns out anything else she intends to say. She has to stop herself from using the spray forever just so that she didn't have to listen to her yap.
