Field Guide for the Formerly Villainous


A charming, timely, and emotionally resonant LGBTQIA+ cosy fantasy about the importance of community and mental health, perfect for fans of TJ Klune and T. Kingfisher. ***What happens to all the mind-controlled minions when the evil villain is finally vanquished? They move to the country, become farmers, fall in love...and finally find a safe place to heal. When Oaklin Nettlewood accidentally joined an evil world-ending cult, mind control magic forced them to do unspeakable things. Years later, the realm's heroes have finally saved the day, defeated the villain, and shattered the last remnants of the spell...leaving destruction in their wake. And so, with a spell-damaged memory and a whole bushel of trauma, Oaklin escapes to a small farm on the edge of Mossley’s Rest and swears an oath: After all the things they were forced to do with their magic, they will never use it again. Ever. The no-nonsense ghost granny who lives in Oaklin’s house has other ideas. As she coaxes Oaklin out of their shell and back into the world, they find companionship (a grumpy horse and a very good dog), friendship (a local bard and magical baker who should just kiss already), and tentative romance (a paladin-librarian who makes Oaklin's heart come alive for the first time in ages). Magic even seems possible again—though strictly for foraging magical mushrooms and protecting the farm from bugs. Healing comes in gentle waves, and Oaklin doesn't have to do it alone. So what does it mean when an inquisitor comes to town to hunt former cultists just as Oaklin begins to think that maybe, just maybe, they deserve a happy ending after al? his delightful cosy fantasy about healing, redemption, and the subtle magic of simple living is perfect for fans of Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea and The Spellshop.

Appleguy and Beefwood


A serial buddy comedy like no other from the mind of Cedar Van Tassel. Cartoonist Cedar Van Tassel has created the great new comic strip of the modern era: a perfect jewel in an underappreciated genre in the comics field the serial buddy comedy. Using rural agriculture as a stepping-off point, he tackles climate change, small-town politics, psychedelics, mysticism, and friendship. Appleguy and Beefwood s rapid-fire dialogue and tightly wound humour is reminiscent of classic buddy comics as wide-ranging as Calvin and Hobbes or Mutt and Jeff. Van Tassel s wiry, delightfully jagged characters walk and talk as the world grows both physically and spiritually around them. This approachably hilarious take on the existential and esoteric distills the absurdities of the modern everyday into four panels with forthright wit and a discerning eye.

Beautiful Devils – Gyönyörű ördögök - Éldekorált kiadás


Éldekorált kiadás Meghódították a szívemet, hogy végül összetörjék... Miután éveken át úgy éreztem, sehová nem tudok beilleszkedni, azt hittem, megtaláltam azt a helyet, ahová igazán tartozom: a Voronin fivérek közé. Az oldalukon. Az ágyukban. Az életük részeként. De tévedtem. Malice, Victor és Ransom olyan oldalamat mutatták meg, amiről nem is tudtam, hogy létezik. Megtanítottak elfogadni a sötétséget, ami elől eddig megpróbáltam elrejtőzni, míg végül bebizonyosodott, hogy ők is ugyanolyannak látnak engem, mint mindenki más. Hazudtak nekem. Kihasználtak engem. És most már nem csupán a szívem van veszélyben. Hanem az életem.

The Quitters Club


“Jessica Strawser delivers a thought-provoking, life-affirming novel about the things we keep, what we leave behind, and the courage it takes to, well, quit.

A five-star must read by an unforgettable voice.” —Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of Summer State of Mind From the USA Today bestselling author of The Last Caretaker comes a hopeful and empowering novel about the messy beauty of female friendship and the deep courage it takes to rebuild a life at any age.

And a childless life becomes a bold new plan to travel the world. But letting go will be more complicated than they imagined. Confronting hard truths about love, loss, and starting over, these four women must discover what’s worth fighting for—and what’s truly best left behind.

Cathedrals


Lia fled her home after a brutal crime decades ago, but family, and the truth, will never let you go.Thirty years ago, in an empty plot of a quiet neighbourhood, a teenage girl's body was found quartered and burned. The investigation ended with no arrests and her family – middle class, educated, Catholic – quietly disintegrated. Three decades later, the hidden truth comes to light thanks to the father's enduring love for the victim. That truth will reveal the raw realities lurking behind appearances, the cruelty of those who prioritize obedience and religious fanaticism, the complicity of the fearful and the indifferent, and the loneliness and desperation of those who seek to follow their own path, ignoring the dictates of their elders.Just as she did with Elena Knows and A Little Luck , Claudia Pineiro delves into family ties, social prejudice, and the ideologies and institutions that affect our inner worlds to deliver a brave, moving novel that strikes at the heart of these private dramas.

Into the Tide – Sodrásban - Éldekorált kiadás


Éldekorált kiadás Lila James a legjobb barátom húga. Szigorúan tiltott terület. De minden férfinak megvan az Achilles-sarka. Lila a legjobb barátom kishúga, és mindig is így gondoltam rá. Egy gyerek, akire vigyázni kell. Öt évvel fiatalabb nálam, még akkor is kislány volt, amikor elköltözött a városból, hogy egyetemre járjon. Most itthon tölti a nyári vakációt – és egyértelműen nem kislány már, gyönyörű, okos nővé érett. A szeme sötét, hosszú haja hullámokban omlik a vállára. Formás lábát mintha arra tervezték volna, hogy a derekam köré fonja. Én mindig is az a fickó voltam, aki szeret szórakozni, aki könnyedén veszi a dolgokat. Amikor a bátyja szívességet kér tőlem, hogy adjak Lilának munkát az éttermemben, egy pillanatnyi habozás nélkül igent mondok, hiszen nincs, amit meg ne tennék a barátom kishúgáért. Egészen addig, amíg Lila nem kér tőlem még valamit. Azt akarja, hogy én legyek számára az első. Nekem akarja adni a szüzességét. Azt kéri, én járjak ott először, ahol férfi még nem járt… A nagyesküt is leteszi, hogy nem fog belém zúgni – annál több esze van. Csakhogy én nem Lila szíve miatt aggódom...

The Land and its People


In The Land and Its People, David Sedaris investigates what it means to be a traveller, a brother, a lifelong friend. Trying on the role of carer after his boyfriend Hugh's hip-replacement surgery, he both succeeds and fails. He covers ground with his friend Dawn and challenges her to eat a truck tire. An ambivalent Duolingo bot becomes his unlikely confidante as he attempts to describe his family in a foreign language. Ever adding to his list of 'Countries I Have Been To,' he rides a horse named Tequila in Guatemala, buys a bespoke priest's cassock in Vatican City, and goes on safari in Kenya without taking a single photo. Time takes its toll: Scrolling through his address book, he counts those he couldn't bear to outline and realizes how many are already gone. He is bitten by a dog and insulted by a wee train passenger. A woman on the street late at night either sexually harasses him or doesn't. It's easy to agree with the lady waving a sign that reads, 'Enough is Enough.' And yet, life holds much to delight in: the massive testicles of a ram, a trip abroad with his sisters, a really excellent reptile video, a pair of well-made cotton underpants. Throughout these essays - at once acerbic and tender, playful and profound - Sedaris shows how much there is to marvel at when you keep your head up and your eyes open, observing with warmth and curiosity our fascinating human species and the lands we inhabit.

Zázemí pro ušáka


Novinka oceňovaného básníka Milana Děžinského (nar. 1974), držitele ceny Magnesia Litera za sbírky Obcházení ostrova, je žánrově netypická. Tvoří ji rozsáhlá mozaika kratších próz, v nichž se prolíná bizarní s každodenním, dějinné s intimním, groteskní s tragickým. Autor sestavuje svou knihu z příběhů nalezených, vyslechnutých i zcela osobních — a vytváří tak obraz světa, který se nám ukazuje ve své absurditě i křehkosti. Útržky internetových historek, fragmenty dávných osudů i okamžiky zdánlivě banálního života dohromady tvoří mnohovrstevnatou zprávu o našem bytí… Stalin pěstuje exotické rostliny, kamion hoří na dálnici a někdo sní o smrti ve sněhu. Žena žije v reklamní ceduli na střeše supermarketu a chlapec umí předvídat góly. A taky je tu medvěd, který zkouší hrát na piano, a tak dále. Z prostěradla se zvedá prach, v kuchyni vám kdosi strčí vosu mezi stehna a králíček zoufale hledá něžného majitele. Hravé i temné, na každý pád však inspirativní čtení.
