The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
A searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war
Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest.
But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
Ten years after his prizewinning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths.

Get ready, Book 11 in the phenomenally bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is coming!
The pressure's really piling up on Greg Heffley. His mom thinks video games are turning his brain to mush, so she wants her son to put down the controller and explore his 'creative side'.
As if that's not scary enough, Halloween's just around the corner and the frights are coming at Greg from every angle.
When Greg discovers a bag of gummy worms, it sparks an idea. Can he get his mom off his back by making a movie . . . and will he become rich and famous in the process? Or will doubling down on this plan just double Greg's troubles?

The must-read billionaire romance from the bestselling author of the Twisted series.
Read King of Sloth now for a steamy reverse grumpy sunshine romance.
He'd never wanted anyone enough to chase them . . . until he met her.
Charming, easy-going, and rich beyond belief, Xavier Castillo has the world at his fingertips.
He also has no interest in taking over his family's empire (much to his father's chagrin), but that hasn't stopped women from throwing themselves at him . . . unless the woman in question is his publicist.
Nothing brings him more joy than riling her up, but when a tragedy forces them closer than ever, he must grapple with the uncertainty of his future - and the realization that the only person immune to his charms is the only one he truly wants.
***
Cool, intelligent, and ambitious, Sloane Kensington is a high-powered publicist who's used to dealing with difficult clients.
However, none infuriate - or tempt - her more than a certain billionaire heir, with his stupid dimples and laid-back attitude.
She may be forced to work with him, but she'll never fall for him . . . no matter how fast he makes her heart beat or how thoughtful he is beneath his party persona.
He's her client, and that's all he'll ever be. Right?
King of Sloth is a steamy reverse grumpy sunshine billionaire romance. It includes explicit content and profanity. Recommended for mature readers only.
Rivers of Babylon
Knižný debut, román Rivers of Babylon (1991) vzbudil nebývalý čitateľský a kritický záujem. Pišťanek v ňom expresívnym jazykom s využitím rôznych štýlových vrstiev opisuje pre slov. literatúru netradičné prostredie bratislavského podsvetia, ktoré zaľudňujú postavy drobných i väčších podvodníkov a prostitútok. Jedinou ambíciou týchto ľudí je spríjemniť si život, čo v ich chápaní znamená oklamať, využiť či zničiť tých ostatných. V tomto svete sa svojou primitívnou a priamočiarou túžbou po moci a peniazoch čoraz viac presadzuje hlavná postava, dedinčan Rácz. Niekde v pozadí týchto činností, ktoré postavám zapĺňajú celý život, sa odohráva revolučná zmena roku 1989. Inšpiračné zdroje pre tento román nájdeme v tzv. poklesnutých žánroch – aj Pišťanek kladie dôraz najmä na priamočiarosť rozprávania a rýchly spád deja. Namiesto psychologizácie sa prikláňa k extrovertnému typu písania.
Nové vydanie trilógie vychádza s novými obálkami Tomáša Klepocha.

Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion - and the Future of Clothes
'A gripping blockbuster ... Thomas researches meticulously and writes with simmering even-handed anger' TELEGRAPH. Fashionopolis is the definitive book on the cost of fast fashion, and a blueprint for how we get to a more sustainable future.
Fashion has blighted our planet. Today, one out of six people on earth work in fashion, churning out 100 billion garments a year. Yet 98 percent of them do not earn a living wage, and 2.1 billion tonnes of clothing is thrown away annually. The clothing industry's exploitation of fellow humans and the environment has reached epic levels. What should we do?
Bestselling author and veteran journalist Dana Thomas has travelled the globe to find the answers. In Fashionopolis, she details the damage wrought by fashion's behemoths, and celebrates the visionaries - including activists, artisans, designers, and tech entrepreneurs - fighting for change.
We all have been casual about our clothes. It's time to get dressed with intention. Fashionopolis is the first comprehensive look at how to start.

Debutový album kapely „30 Seconds to Mars“ (2002), produkoval Bob Ezrin a vyšiel s pozitívnymi ohlasmi, ale len s obmedzeným komerčným úspechom. Kapela sa celosvetovo preslávila vydaním svojho druhého albumu “A Beautiful Lie“ (2005), ktorý získal viacero ocenení po celom svete. „This Is War“ (2009), ukázalo dramatický vývoj v hudobnom štýle kapely, pretože zahŕňalo experimentálnu hudbu, ako aj eklektické vplyvy. Proces nahrávania albumu bol poznačený súdnym sporom s nahrávacou spoločnosťou EMI, ktorý sa nakoniec stal námetom pre dokumentárny film „Artifact“ (2012). Thirty Seconds to Mars sa potom presunuli do Universal Music a vydali štvrtý album „Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams“ (2013), ktorý zaznamenal kritický a komerčný úspech. Po ňom nasledovala „Amerika“ (2018), ktorá po vydaní polarizovala kritikov.

Aodhan pochází z rodiny, která dala Azerothu některé z jeho nejhrdinnějších paladinů a válečníků. Bystrý mladý muž však není na fyzický boj stavěný. Je to hubený knihomol, který si zoufale přeje stát se mágem. Poté, co mu jeho panovačný otec zakáže praktikovat magii, Aodhan uteče z domu, aby se mohl věnovat studiu arkánových umění ve městě Dalaran.
Aodhanův sen, že se jednou stane mocným kouzelníkem, však náhle přeruší hejno modrých draků, kteří Dalaran oblehnou. Ač se mladý mág nachází daleko od domova, dostane se mu pomoci od příbuzného, který mu byl celou dobu nablízku: Krevana, jeho čarodějného strýce. Vychytralý postarší mág po svém útěku z dalaranského vězení vezme vnímavého Aodhana pod svá křídla a společně začnou pracovat na tom, aby zabránili zničení města. Za bezútěšnou situací, v níž se Dalaran ocitl, se však skrývá temné tajemství, a Aodhan je možná jediný, kdo dovede ukončit pletichy, jež město ohrožují. A možná se při tom stane něčím, co by od něj jeho rodina nikdy neočekávala: hrdinou.
Napsal uznávaný spisovatel Richard A. Knaak (World of Warcraft: Hodina stínů) a nakreslil fanoušky oblíbený Ryo Kawakami (Warcraft: Legendy). World of Warcraft: Mág je akcí nabitý příběh o pokušení, moci a hrdinství, který jistě očaruje každého fanouška World of Warcraft!
