Tourist Season
From No.1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver comes a wickedly delicious new series where dark romantic comedy meets thrilling suspense - and where falling in love can be a killer.
Welcome to Cape Carnage! Visit Once, Stay Forever.
You can hide in the farthest reaches of the deepest hell, and I will still drag you out. Even the devil can't save you from me.
Cape Carnage is a seaside town of colourful houses, quirky shops, and an unusually high body count. But with tourists comes trouble, and Harper Starling won't let anyone ruin her picture-perfect home. A skilled gardener with killer instincts, Harper protects her sanctuary at any cost. Troublesome tourists don't check out of Carnage. They compost beneath Harper's award-winning flowerbeds.
But Nolan Rhodes isn't your average tourist. Devilishly handsome, disarmingly charming, and skilled with a blade, Nolan is relentless in the pursuit of revenge. Every year, Nolan slays another target. And he's saved the best for last: the undeniably beautiful Harper Starling. The problem? Harper isn't the monster he expected. And she won't go down without a fight.
When an amateur true crime investigator comes to Cape Carnage on the trail of a long-lost serial killer, Harper and Nolan strike an uneasy truce. If Nolan helps Harper protect her town, she'll keep quiet about his hunting habits . . . for now. But their alliance soon spirals into obsession, one that threatens to shatter every secret in Carnage - including their fragile love.
Tourist Season is a darkly funny, slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance where destruction and desire are balanced on the edge of a blade - and where love is the most dangerous battleground of all.

The Mark of Athena- The Mark of Athena is the explosive third part in Rick Riordan's number one series - Heroes of Olympus. - one fatal prophecy...seven brave demigods...a quest to find - and close - the doors of death. Annabeth felt as if someone had draped a cold washcloth across her neck. She heard that whispering laughter again, as if the presence had followed her from the ship. She looked up at the Argo II. Its massive bronze hull glittered in the sunlight. Part of her wanted to kidnap Percy right now, get on board and get out of here while they still could. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to go terribly wrong. She couldn't risk losing Percy again.

If Percy Jackson and Annabeth fail in their quest, there'll be hell on Earth. Literally. Wandering the deadly realm of Tartarus, every step leads them further into danger.

The Blood of Olympus- Though the Greek and Roman crew members of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen - all of them - and they're stronger than ever. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over
Quicksilver - Fae & Alchemy 1
From global phenomenon Callie Hart comes a Sunday Times bestselling highly addictive enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance that you won't be able to put down!
Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.
In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn't much a girl wouldn't do for a glass of water.
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember.
But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.
When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently re-opens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares... but it turns out they're real, and Saeris has landed herself in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.
The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist's magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him . . . or her.
Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he's the only way Saeris is going to make it home.
Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details . . .

60 skladieb, ktoré ti vysvetlia 90. roky
Spoločníčka najpočúvanejšieho podcastu na Spotify, vyhlásená za najlepšiu hudobnú knihu roku 2023 časopismi PITCHFORK, VARIETY a ROLLING STONE, prevedie čitateľov tými najväčšími hitmi, ktoré zadefinovali jednu prapodivne nezadefinovateľnú dekádu. Deväťdesiate roky boli pre hudbu chaotickým, drsným a úplne magickým obdobím, zmäteným prívalom žánrov, životných štýlov a superhviezd, od grunge po hiphop, od luxusného R&B po búrlivý skapunk, od Axla cez Kurta, Missy, Santanu až po Tupaca či Britney. V knihe 60 skladieb, ktoré ti vysvetlia 90. roky hudobný kritik Rob Harvilla resuscituje všetky uši trhajúce ikonické hity, ktoré sa vryli do pamäti generácie X. Robí tak pomocou živého historického rozprávania, ostrej kritickej analýzy a bezuzdných osobných úvah o najbizarnejších, najradostnejších a najnevyhnutnejších piesňach desaťročia, ktoré nám tak zúfalo chýbajú.
Správne rozhodnutie
Športová reportérka denníka The Washington Post a autorka bestsellerov podľa rebríčka The New York Times sa preslávila knihou The Real All Americans, ktorú The Wall Street Journal označil za „fascinujúcu“. Teraz napísala ľúbostný list výnimočným trénerom a športovcom, o ktorých roky písala, ktorý opisuje princípy dokonalosti, ktoré stelesňujú.
Sally Jenkins strávila celý svoj dospelý život pozorovaním a písaním o výnimočných tréneroch a športovcoch. Pútavým a odborným štýlom pomohla formovať spôsob, akým vnímame tieto talentované športové ikony. No niekde na polceste si uvedomila, že aj ony začali formovať ju.
V tejto knihe predstavuje ohromujúce osobnostné kvality týchto ľudí, ktoré ich poháňali k prekonávaniu tlaku, posúvaniu vlastných výkonov a objavovaniu šampiónskych identít. Na základe rokov pozorovania, rozhovorov a analýz elitných trénerov a hráčov, akými sú Bill Belichick, Peyton Manning, Michael Phelps a ďalší, Jenkins odhaľuje sedem princípov stojacich za:
– kondíciou
– tréningom
– disciplínou
– úprimnosťou
– kultúrou
– odolnosťou
– zámerom
Objavte, ako môžete rovnaké princípy uplatniť vo svojom živote a stať sa vlastným šampiónom. Pestrofarebná, inšpiratívna a prístupná kniha Správne rozhodnutie je komplexnou príručkou pre každého, kto chce dosiahnuť špičkovú úroveň.
Šťastie po novom
Všetci si prajeme byť šťastní, no šťastie sa často javilo ako niečo nedosiahnuteľné – až doteraz. V knihe Šťastie po novom čerpá odborníčka na šťastie Stephanie Harrison zo stoviek vedeckých štúdií a prináša prevratnú príručku, ktorá má moc zmeniť váš život.
Ak sa cítite nešťastní, nie je to vaša vina. Spoločnosť vám vtĺkala do hlavy, že nie ste dosť dobrí, že na to, aby ste boli šťastní, musíte dosiahnuť slávu, bohatstvo a moc. A že to všetko musíte zvládnuť sami. Takto funguje Šťastie po starom, falošná predstava o šťastí, ktorá nás všetkých robí nešťastnými.
Táto kniha vás naučí, že ste dosť dobrí takí, akí ste, že máte jedinečné a dôležité dary – a že práve ich využívanie na pomoc druhým vedie k vášmu vlastnému šťastiu.
Či už stojíte pred rozhodnutím o kariére, prechádzate životnou zmenou, čelíte ťažkému obdobiu, vychovávate deti k naplnenému životu, alebo si jednoducho len prajete prežívať viac radosti, táto kniha vám ponúka overenú cestu k šťastnejšiemu životu a lepšiemu svetu.
Ema Müller, autorka, o knihe Šťastie po novom
Takže ešte raz, zavriem túto knihu a začnem opakovať to, čo si z nej chcem najviac pamätať: v tomto momente, v tejto chvíli, presne takáto, aká som teraz, nezmenená, nevylepšená, neistá, nevyrovnaná, len proste ja, v celej svojej svojskosti, mám právo na to, aby mi bolo dobre a aby som bola šťastná.
Vieš o tom? spýta sa ma Stephanie. Lebo je veľmi dôležité, aby si to vedela! Nenechá sa odbiť a ja jej za to ďakujem. A keď na to prídeš, citujem ju ďalej, rozozvučí sa ti srdce. Keď na to prídeš, neprestáva rozdávať svoj dar, stane sa niečo nádherné.
Ak ste na to ešte neprišli, možno vám s tým pomôže práve ona a jej kniha Šťastie po novom. Tak nech vám je nádherne a nech ste šťastní. Zaslúžite si to.

Druhou skupinou ilustrácií sú fotografie zobrazujúce podpoliansku prírodu a krajinu od známeho fotografa Antona Trebuľu-Kečkára z Hriňovej, ktorý za svoju tvorbu získal viacero ocenení. Publikácia obsahuje mnoho fotografií z archívu autora a krátku biografiu Ondreja Molotu.
Šafi a Gallus
Šafi dostane v škole zlú známku z prírodopisu. Nemá odvahu povedať to mame, a tak utečie do lesa. V hustom lese zablúdi. Jediný tvor, s ktorým sa stretne, je hlucháň Gallus. Postupne obaja zisťujú, že les potrebuje pomoc, a preto sa spoločne vyberú, aby pomohli odumierajúcemu lesu.
Ďalšia z postáv je lesmajster, pán Dekret. Jeho predobrazom bol Jozef Dekret Matejovie, ktorý pôsobil v lesoch v oblasti horného toku Hrona počas panovania Márie Terézie. Svojim pokrokovým postojom a aplikovaním moderných myšlienok do praxe zachraňoval a zveľaďoval lesy. Príbeh nenásilným spôsobom sprostredkúva čitateľom dôležité informácie o fungovaní lesa a ochrane prírody.
Autorkou knihy je Margit Garajszki, ilustroval ju Michal Pisklák. Vyšla vo vydavateľstve DAXE. Vydanie knihy z verejných zdrojov podporil Fond na podporu umenia.
Frankenstein alebo Moderný Prometeus
Čitateľom sa do rúk dostáva nový preklad podľa prvého anglického vydania svetovo presláveného románu o vynálezcovi Viktorovi Frankensteinovi a jeho stvorení umelého človeka. Ohyzdné monštrum s nadľudskou silou sa po prvých trpkých skúsenostiach s ľuďmi, odmietnutí svojím tvorcom a nenaplnenej túžbe po ľudskej spoločnosti, obráti na cestu pomsty a skazy. V najslávnejšom gotickom horore, aký bol kedy napísaný, Mary W. Shelleyová konfrontuje obmedzenia vedy, povahu ľudskej krutosti a cestu k odpusteniu. Tento mrazivý príbeh o túžbe mladého vedca vytvoriť život a o dôsledkoch tohto stvorenia, ktorý začala písať, keď mala autorka iba osemnásť rokov, rezonuje dodnes.

Malibu na Dunaji
Malibu na Dunaji je Juráňovej treťou knihou poviedok po knižkách Zverinec (1993) a Lásky nebeské (2010), pričom obdobia medzi nimi autorka pilne vypĺňala novelami, románmi, divadelnými hrami, knižkami pre deti a prekladmi. V súbore osemnástich poviedok rôznej dĺžky súčasnosť vyrastá z mladosti nejednej z postáv, prežitej v sivých totalitných sedemdesiatych. Inokedy je dnešná mladosť zatienená nedocenením umeleckej prevádzky, činnosti či túžby. Aj napriek očakávaniam, muži nie sú v týchto poviedkach vždy zápornými postavami, niekedy sú len trošku nasupení, inokedy sú vyslovene bukolicky idylickí a raz sa jeden dokonca zmení na ženu, pričom ani ženy, bez ohľadu na očakávania, nie sú stvárnené idealisticky. Občas v poviedkach vystupujú aj zvieratá, či už myšie mláďatá, stratené mača alebo kocúr, takže autorka sa nemohla vyhnúť tomu, že spoločný osud ľudí a zvierat občas splynie do jedného.
Knihy pre každého kúpite na e-shope alebo v kníhkupectvách Panta Rhei.
