Siege and Storm - Ostrom és vihar
Az Igaz-tengeren át menekülő Alina, akit a Zónában meggyilkoltak szellemei kísértenek, új életet kezd Mallal egy ismeretlen földön, miközben igyekszik titokban tartani napidéző voltát. Ám sokáig nem hagyhatja maga mögött sem a múltját, sem a sorsát.
Az Éjúr rettenetes új hatalom birtokában hagyta el az Árnyzónát, és veszedelmes tervet sző, ami a végsőkig próbára teszi a természeti világ határait. Alina egy hírhedt kalóz segítségével visszatér s szeretett országba, hogy elszántan szembeszálljon a Ravkára törő erőkkel.
De ahogy a hatalma növekszik, Alina úgy süllyed egyre mélyebbre a tiltott mágiába és az Éjúr játszmájába, és távolodik el egyre jobban Maltól.
Választania kell hazája, a hatalom és a szerelem között, amiről mindig úgy hitte, az vezérli - különben azt kockáztatja, hogy mindent elveszít a közelgő viharban.

The Empress and the English Doctor
A killer virus...an all-powerful Empress...an encounter cloaked in secrecy...the astonishing true story.
Within living memory, smallpox was a dreaded disease. Over human history it has killed untold millions. Back in the eighteenth century, as epidemics swept Europe, the first rumours emerged of an effective treatment: a mysterious method called inoculation.
But a key problem remained: convincing people to accept the preventative remedy, the forerunner of vaccination. Arguments raged over risks and benefits, and public resistance ran high. As smallpox ravaged her empire and threatened her court, Catherine the Great took the momentous decision to summon the Quaker physician Thomas Dimsdale to St Petersburg to carry out a secret mission that would transform both their lives. Lucy Ward expertly unveils the extraordinary story of Enlightenment ideals, female leadership and the fight to promote science over superstition.

The Song of Achilles
A beautiful new limited edition paperback of The Song of Achilles, published as part of the Bloomsbury Modern Classics list
The god touches his finger to the arrow's fletching. Then he breathes, a puff of air - as if to send dandelions flying, to push toy boats over water. And the arrow flies, straight and silent, in a curving, downward arc towards Achilles' back.
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, the boys develop a tender friendship, a bond which blossoms into something deeper as they grow into young men.
But when Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Achilles is dispatched to distant Troy to fulfil his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.
Fix the System, Not the Women
10 years after founding the Everyday Sexism Project, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates connects the dots between the 'isolated incidents' of violence against women and the institutional and systemic misogyny that is so deeply ingrained in our society. Every three days in the UK, women are murdered by their current or former partners. 137 women worldwide are killed by a family member every day.These are not isolated incidents. They are part of a devastatingly clear pattern. But it is a pattern we are so used to seeing that we simply don't notice it anymore.These incidents are the product of a society in which misogyny is so deeply ingrained that it has simply become part of our daily lives. This book will lay these patterns bare for everyone to see. Joining the dots from an epidemic of school sexual violence to the failings of the police and CPS, institutional and systemic misogyny, political apathy and media distortion, this will be an examination of how the entire system lets women and girls down, again and again.In Isolated Incidents, Laura puts forward her own bold and ambitious solution for combating misogyny and violence against women - one that includes structural change and tackles institutionalised prejudice. Enough is enough.
Too often, we blame women. For walking home alone at night. For not demanding a seat at the table. For not overcoming the odds that are stacked against them.
This distracts us from the real problem: the failings and biases of a society that was not built for women. In this explosive book, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates exposes the systemic prejudice at the heart of five of our key institutions.
Education
Politics
Media
Policing
Criminal justice
Combining stories with shocking evidence, Fix the System, Not the Women is a blazing examination of sexual injustice and a rallying cry for reform.

Bones and All (slovenský preklad)
Predloha rovnomenného filmu Lucu Guadagnina podľa scenára Davida Kajganicha. V hlavných úlohách Taylor Russell, Timothée Chalamet a Mark Rylance.
Maren Yearlyová nechce viac než ostatní: túži len po rodičovskej láske a domove. Ťaží ju však desivé tajomstvo. Robí zlé veci, a hoci sa za ne nenávidí, nedokáže si pomôcť.
Keď mala dva roky, mama jej našla v ústach ušný bubienok. Patril Mareninej opatrovateľke. Okolo Maren mizli ľudia a jej mame neostávalo nič iné, len zakaždým zbaliť skromný majetok do auta a utekať s ňou preč. Až do šestnástich Maren chránila pred svetom (alebo svet pred ňou?). Aj materinská láska má však svoje hranice...
Ak sa má Maren popasovať s vlastným osudom, potrebuje v prvom rade zistiť, kto alebo čo vlastne je. Preto sa vydáva hľadať svojho otca a na tejto démonickej ceste sa v jej živote po prvýkrát objavia nejasné vyhliadky na lásku.
The Right Move
Discover the #BookTok sports romance series everyone is talking about:
RYAN
She's a distraction, that's what she is.
I'm the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago's NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister's best friend, to move into my apartment. She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting. But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate.
The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural.
Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her.
INDY
I never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy. Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and untrusting of others.
Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's celebrity hero.
Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love.
I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend's brother was the right move after all...

The Great Gatsby - Velký Gatsby
Anglicko-česká zrcadlová četba pro středně pokročilé. Velký Gatsby je nejslavnějším románem Francise Scotta Fitzgeralda. Příběh se odehrává v New Yorku 20. let minulého století, kdy nečekaná hospodářská prosperita přinesla i ztrátu morálních hodnot. Jay Gatsby se ve snaze získat milovanou dívku dostane do nejvyšších vrstev společnosti, kde je vyhledáván pro své bohatství i tajemství, jež ho obestírá, ale nikdy do ní opravdu nezapadne, neboť pro něj jsou stále nejvyšší hodnotou vztahy mezi lidmi. Gatsbyho tragický konec je absurdním omylem, jako by jen podtrhoval prázdnotu a povrchnost světa bohatých.
The Great Gatsby is the most famous novel by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. The story takes place in New York of 1920s, when unexpected economic prosperity brought about the loss of moral values. Jay Gatsby, trying to get his beloved girl gets into the high society, becoming popular for his richness and mystery that exists around him, but never really fits into it, because human relationships are still the highest value for him. Gatsbys tragic end is an absurd mistake, as if it only emphasizes the emptiness and superficiality of the rich world.
