Voice of the Ocean
From popular content creator Kelsey Impicciche, Voice of the Ocean follows a daring young siren who defies her people to save a human prince, unearthing ancient magic and igniting a dangerous romance amidst treacherous waters.
As the youngest daughter of the Siren queen, Celeste's life is tightly controlled. Desperate to prove her worth, she intends to join the Chorus - an elite group of siren warriors. With her final test on the horizon, Celeste must finally gain control over her temperamental Song. But when Celeste encounters a seemingly harmless ship, helmed by the intriguing Prince Raiden Sharp, her path veers towards forbidden waters.
Believing the handsome sailor to be innocent of any wrongdoing, Celeste defies Siren law to save Raiden's life - despite knowing he is the son of a king who has murdered many of her kindred. The penalty for Celeste's betrayal should be death, but the queen offers her an alternative: right her wrong by assassinating the prince. Determined to first discover the truth behind the prince's clandestine mission, Celeste agrees to become human.
The human world is nothing like she expected, nor is the prince the charming and noble man she assumed him to be. But as Celeste finds her place aboard the ship, friendships - and attraction - begin to grow. Will Celeste be able to save herself? Or will her choices unravel a kingdom, devastating sirens and humans alike?

This Room Is Impossible to Eat
Tereza and Ivan share secrets. Tereza is now in art school away from the town where she grew up. Ivan is a teacher and artist.
Tereza is now nineteen, Ivan is fifty-seven. They have known each other for years. Tereza shares her secrets with her friend Silvia.
Ivan does not tell anyone. He constructs memories of Tereza to keep in his bed at night, covering them with sweat and tears. In this minimalist, poetic novella with autobiographical elements, Nicol Hochholczerova weaves a story of obsession and power and how both can lead to damage and separation.
Rich with symbolism, its explosive themes - of eating disorder, abusive control and family dysfunction - are delicately handled with honesty and intelligence.

Základní element
Živlová charakteristika je jednou z nejstarších, nejjednodušších a nejužitečnějších typologií osobnosti. Vědomá práce s živly nám může pomoci lépe pochopit, kdo jsme a jakou úlohu v životě máme na tomto světě sehrát. Prostřednictvím zkoumání elementů se můžeme vrátit k moudrosti předků a stejně jako oni ctít posvátnou podstatu života. Astroložka a terapeutka Debra Silverman představuje v Základním elementu svět živlů a nabízí rovněž mapu, která nám pomůže se v tomto světě zorientovat. Na příkladech reálných lidí vysvětluje, jak se oheň, vzduch, voda a země mohou projevovat v povaze člověka, jak poznáme, zda jsou naše živly v rovnováze a také učí, jak případnou nerovnováhu vybalancovat.
V Základním elementu se mimo jiné dozvíte:
Jaká je vaše živlová povaha? Které živly jsou ve vás silné a který je nejslabší?
Projevují se vaše živly zdravě, nebo nezdravě? Jak je můžete uvést zase do rovnováhy?
Jak se chovají typické ženy a typičtí muži pod vládou vody, země, vzduchu a ohně? Poznáváte se v tomto popisu? Rozumíte díky tomu lépe někomu z vašich blízkých?
Čeho lze při mistrném zvládnutí primárního živlu v životě dosáhnout?
Zrůda Aileen Wuornosová a další kruté vražedkyně
Jak a proč? Jak se ženy stávají sériovými vražedkyněmi a proč zabíjejí? Proč je jednoduché: mohou zabíjet ze stejných důvodů jako muži sérioví vrazi: kvůli moci, ovládání, sexuálnímu chtíči, zisku, vzrušení, sebeúctě, pomstě a šílenství.
Existují však některé pozoruhodné rozdíly. Mužští sérioví vrazi se často dopouštějí únosů, věznění, znásilňování a mrzačení, aby vyjádřili svůj vztek a touhu po kontrole; ženské sériové vražedkyně se obvykle vrhají rovnou do zabíjení – nezastavují se, aby se cestou nechaly zmrzačit nebo kousnout. Žádné polaroidy, masturbace na místě činu nebo sex s mrtvolou. Sériové vražedkyně se věnují pouze svému byznysu... a to je vražda. V tomto smyslu jsou neskonale smrtelnější než mužští predátoři, kteří se řídí fantazií...
Dokonalý zločin
V knize je 90 ďábelsky složitých hlavolamů, které je třeba vyřešit, abyste se mohli stát geniálním
detektivem, nebo naopak nepolapitelným zločincem. Dr. Gareth Moore, autor mnoha mezinárodních
bestsellerů, připravil tuto knihu hlavolamů – hádanek, šifer, kryptogramů, bludišť, sudoku a řady dalších – pro
všechny fanoušky detektivek a policejního vyšetřování. Vyzkoušejte si, zda byste byli schopni vyřešit případ…
anebo spáchat dokonalý zločin.
- Hádanky jsou rozděleny na ty, řešené z pohledu kriminalistů a ty, řešené z pohledu zločinců
- Čtenáři musí používat rozdílné typy logického myšlení, úkoly se liší jak délkou, tak obtížností.
Města bez plánu
Jak vznikají města, ve kterých se dobře žije? A proč i dobře míněné plány často selhávají?
Plánovači měst činí rozhodnutí s okamžitým dopadem – určují šířku ulic, minimální velikost pozemků či maximální výšku budov. Přitom se opírají o neurčité cíle jako „udržitelnost“, „obyvatelnost“ nebo „odolnost“, často bez jasných kritérií úspěchu.
Alain Bertaud, který dříve pracoval jako plánovač ve městech po celém světě od USA po Jemen a poté jako hlavní urbanista Světové banky, však ukazuje, že města nejsou výsledkem plánů, nýbrž dynamických trhů – především trhu práce a trhu s bydlením. Bertaud prosazuje porozumění spontánnímu vývoji města skrze skutečná data, ekonomické modely a chování lidí.
Tato kniha propojuje ekonomii města s praxí urbanismu a nabízí přesvědčivé argumenty, proč by města měla fungovat spíš jako otevřené systémy reagující na poptávku, nikoliv jako centrálně navržené projekty. Výsledkem může být vyšší produktivita, lepší dostupnost a vyšší kvalita života – pro každého z nás.
Toto leto bude iné
Toto leto dodržia svoj sľub.
Toto leto nepodľahnú pokušeniu.
Toto leto bude iné.
Lucy je turistka, ktorá si užíva letné dni v plážovom dome na Ostrove princa Eduarda. Felix je miestny chlapec, ktorý jej ukáže, ako chutí zábava. Problém je len jeden: Lucy netuší, že Felix je mladší brat jej najlepšej kamarátky. Iskra medzi nimi je nepopierateľná, no zoznam dôvodov, prečo by sa mali držať od seba ďalej, je pridlhý – a obaja prisahajú, že tú elektrizujúcu noc už nikdy nezopakujú. To sa však ľahšie povie, ako urobí.
Každé leto Lucy uteká na Ostrov princa Eduarda – kvôli morskému vzduchu, čerstvým ustriciam a vínu vinho verde – spolu so svojou najlepšou kamarátkou Bridget. Vždy sa to začína prechádzkou po pláži pod červenými útesmi a zlatým slnkom. A zakaždým si Lucy sľubuje, že tentoraz neskončí vo Felixovej posteli. Znova. Hoci po ňom nevie prestať túžiť, srdce si vždy drží bokom.
Keď Bridget týždeň pred svadbou utečie z Toronta, Lucy neváha a mieri za ňou na ostrov. Jej cieľ je jasný: pomôcť priateľke a vyhnúť sa jedinému mužovi, ktorému nikdy nevedela odolať. No Felixove iskrivé oči a koketné vtipy nahradilo niečo nové a Lucy začína premýšľať, ako veľmi je jej srdce naozaj v bezpečí.

The Satisfaction Café
Joan Liang's life is a series of surprising developments: she never thought she would leave Taiwan (and for all places, California), nor did she expect her first marriage to implode - especially as quickly and spectacularly as it did. She definitely did not expect to fall in love with an older, wealthy American and become his fourth wife and mother to his youngest children. Through all this she asks herself the question familiar to so many of us: what are we living for? And are we ever truly satisfied?
Vivid, comic and intensely moving, The Satisfaction Café is a novel about all of the joy, sorrow, betrayal and beauty that come with marriage and family - and above all, about life's endless capacity to surprise us.
Accomplice to the Villain
The hilarious grumpy x sunshine fantasy rom-com from the #1 New York Times bestselling author and TikTok sensation
REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to "Evie" or "Stop that."
Evie Sage didn't mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom's most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised "light paperwork and occasional beheadings," and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss.
Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire?or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.
Katabasis
Katabasis, noun, Ancient Greek. The story of a hero's descent to the underworld.
Grad student Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become the brightest mind in the field of analytic magick.
But the only person who can make her dream come true is dead and - inconveniently - in Hell. And Alice, along with her biggest rival Peter Murdoch, is going after him.
But Hell is not as the philosophers claim, its rules are upside-down, and if she's going to get out of there alive, she and Peter will have to work together.
That's if they can agree on anything.
Will they triumph, or kill each other trying?
The Later Years
It is not difficult to imagine the sense of panic when faced with the sheer administrative hassle of the end of life, despite the fact that it will come to us all sooner or later. As we get older, all that needs to be done can feel alarmingly daunting. The good news is that Sir Peter Thornton KC has rationally organised and prioritised everything we need to know, and presents it in a simple, straightforward way that encourages us to complete all the necessary tasks.
With chapters on what to do before death (such as a will and a Lasting Power of Attorney), money, pensions, inheritance tax, scams, health, home, care, your rights, and what to do after the death of a loved one, this puts all the information in one place, and is as easy to follow as a shopping list.
