The Witches of New York
Those averse to magic need not apply...
The perfect novel for Halloween!
1880
Witches Adelaide Thom and Eleanor St Clair have opened a tea shop in Manhattan specialising in cures, palmistry and potions.
When an enchanting woman called Beatrice joins the witches as an apprentice, she soon proves indispensable, but her new life is marred by strange occurrences.
She sees things no one else can see. She hears voices no one else can hear. Has she been touched by magic or is she simply losing her mind?
Amidst the witches' tug-of-war over how best to nurture her gifts, Beatrice disappears. But was it by choice or by force? In a time when women were corseted, confined and committed for merely speaking their minds, is anyone really safe?

Zima v New Yorku
Pomôžu im tajomstvá minulosti nájsť lásku v prítomnosti?
Mladá anglická kuchárka Iris sa presťahuje do New Yorku, aby po smrti milovanej mamy a nezdravom vzťahu začala odznova. Náhoda ju privedie k malej rodinnej zmrzlinárni, ktorá jej je povedomá. Mohlo by to byť miesto, kde vznikla stará fotografia v maminom albume?
V zmrzlinárni sa zoznámi s príťažlivým Giom. Hrozí, že ich obľúbený podnik zatvoria, lebo jeho strýko, strážca tajného rodinného receptu na vanilkovú zmrzlinu, sa zotavuje po mozgovej príhode a na jej prípravu si nespomína. Keď Iris ochutná poslednú várku, zistí, že ich zmrzlina je rovnaká, akú vyrábala jej mama. No ako môže priznať, že pozná staré rodinné tajomstvo, keď nevie, prečo ho Giov strýko prezradil jej mame?
Iris sa ponúkne, že využije svoje kulinárske zručnosti a pomôže zrekonštruovať pôvodný recept. Postupne sa však zblíži s Giom aj s celou jeho rodinou. Keď sa Giov strýko vráti domov, Irisine tajomstvá môžu zničiť jej nový život po boku muža, ktorého nadovšetko miluje.

The Gangs of New York
The Gangs of New York is a tour through a now unrecognisable city of abysmal poverty and habitual violence cobbled from legend, memory, police records, the self-aggrandizements of aging crooks, popular journalism, and solid historical research. As
bury presents the definitive work on this subject, an illumination of the gangs of old New York that ultimately gave rise to the modern Mafia and its depiction in films like The Godfather.
Now a major film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Liam Neeson.U

New York, Washigton, Niagara Falls
V roku 2012 sme (moja maličkosť, Latso s rodinou) leteli na dovolenku do Škótska. V lietadle na trase Viedeň – Londýn som chytil inšpiráciu. Sedel som v trojke vedľa dvoch slečien z Viedne. Mladé, bezprostredné, neviazané kočky leteli na 5 dní do New Yorku. Len tak, akoby nič, ako keď som sa ja v ich veku, za totáča, vybral na čunder do Luhačovíc. „O. K.,“ povedal som si, „toto raz musím takisto absolvovať.“ Rodinná rada môj návrh odobrila a Lucka pridala Washington a Niagarské vodopády. Potom už nasledovalo len veľa gúglovania, plánovania, rezervovania a výsledkom bol skvelý zážitok a...... a toto. Veď posúďte sami. Ale jedno vám môžem prezradiť už teraz: Stálo to za to.
Príjemné čítanie Vám želá Latso.
New York: A Literary Anthology
New York - the city that never sleeps - is brought to life in this vivid and lively anthology. From Staten Island to the Statue of Liberty, for centuries, authors and poets have been inspired to write about the heady highs and formidable lows of New York: its people, places and unique history.
One sweltering summer's day, Charles Dickens passes through Wall Street. James Weldon Johnson's anonymous narrator stumbles into a hidden bar full of poker players. Mark Twain recalls a dinner held in seven different languages. And Anais Nin declares that she is in love . . . with the city itself.
New York has lived through immense challenges yet remains irrepressible, filled with constant energy, movement and excitement. All these different perspectives are captured by the prose and poetry of a wonderful range of writers, including Audre Lorde, Walt Whitman, Edna St Vincent Millay, Henry James, Langston Hughes and many more.
Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series of gorgeous pocket-sized travel paperbacks, featuring Treasures of Cornwall, Yorkshire: A Literary Landscape, London: An Illustrated Literary Companion and Paris: A Literary Anthology. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Edited and introduced by J. Michelle Coghlan.
In A New York Minute
Their love story has gone viral. But it hasn’t even begun...
Franny Doyle is having the worst day. She’s been sacked, the subway doors ripped her favorite dress to ruins, and now she’s flashed her unmentionables to half of lower Manhattan. On the plus side, a dashing stranger came to her rescue with his (Gucci!) suit jacket. On the down side, he can’t get away from her fast enough.
Worse yet? Someone posted their (entirely not) meet-cute online. Suddenly Franny and her rescuer, Hayes Montgomery, are the newest social media sensation, and all of New York is shipping #SubwayQTs.
Only Franny and Hayes couldn’t be a more disastrous match. She’s talkative, and creative. He’s serious, shy, and all about numbers. Yet somehow, Hayes and Franny keep running into each other. It seems fate isn't done with the subway sweethearts just yet...
Kate Spencer’s In a New York Minute is a fresh, modern take on romantic comedy for fans of The Flatshare, Our Stop and One Day in December.
