The Odds of You
For fans of Notting Hill and The Idea of You.
Once is chance. Twice is fate.
Sage Collins was a data analyst until she decided to follow her dreams. Now, she's a bestselling author with a second book to write.
On a flight to Comic Con, she is distracted from her laptop by Theo Sharpe. To Sage, he is the infuriatingly charming British guy who won't stop talking. To everyone else, he's the newly world-famous breakout actor. When the paparazzi mistake her for his girlfriend, Theo's fans make it clear they're not happy.
Desperate to escape the backlash and overcome her writer's block (and her crush), Sage flees to the Isle of Skye. Except, when she arrives, she finds it's much harder to pretend someone doesn't exist when they are standing right in front of you.
The odds of bumping into Theo on the other side of the world were slim, but the odds of falling in love? That might just be Sage's biggest miscalculation yet.
Kate Dramis is the Sunday Times bestselling fantasy author, this is her debut romance novel.

Chinese Ancient Origins
Beautiful edition taking the reader through the origins and history of the Chinese and Asian peoples, highlighting the roots of modern fiction in history, myth and fable.
The events of China's history and origins of its society are inextricably linked to its varied mythology and folklore, reflecting the warring dynasties and the vast landscapes of the country, where distant mountains, and long, winding rivers dominated the sight-lines of ancient peoples. A brand new, highly readable history by Scott Crawford, Chinese Ancient Origins surveys the events, cultural practices, political developments, beliefs, key individuals and roots of ancient China, from the earliest known prehistory through the collapse of the Qin dynasty (206 BCE). This span of history allows the reader to follow a clear line from the origin of humanity in China to the incipient forms of organization, then onward to feudalism and to the founding of the imperial era – a form of government persisting into the twentieth century. An ideal companion to Flame Tree's Chinese Myths & Legends.
Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction: authors, myths, tales and history without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new Introduction and a Glossary of Terms or lists of Ancient Leaders.
The Distinctly Competent District Councillor
The charming and original story of a small, declining community’s struggle to survive in the shadow of an all-consuming metropolis, from from the multi-million copy bestselling author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.
All over the world, people sleep blissfully in Traumbett beds. These marvellous feats of German engineering have successfully cornered the mattress market everywhere. Everywhere, except Sweden and owner Konrad Kaltenbacher Jr is desperate to expand there.
With Konrad Jr’s sights set firmly on stylish Stockholm, Julia Bäck, district councillor of the small, decaying town of Halstaholm, has plans of her own. Seeing an opportunity to attract 800 new jobs, Julia jumps into spearheading a persuasive campaign to win the contract. A roundabout is hastily renamed in honour of Angela Merkel; a German school is quickly established under the leadership of a ten-year-old boy and three elderly pensioners; and the town swimming pool is rapidly transformed into a beerhouse – it had been empty for years anyway!
Julia’s get-up-and-go impresses the German boss … but has she made herself a tricky bed to lie in?
Finding My Way
How do you rebuild yourself when your whole world changes overnight?
Thrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now, for the first time ever, Malala takes readers beyond the headlines in Finding My Way - a vulnerable, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humour and tenderness.
Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid, often messy moments like nearly failing exams, getting ghosted and meeting the love of her life, Malala reminds us that real role models aren't perfect - they're human.
In this astonishing memoir, Malala reintroduces herself to the world, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her - while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. Finding My Way is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny - and a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself.

Crux
A heartstopping story of friendship, thrill-seeking and defying expectations: the explosive second novel from the bestselling author of My Absolute Darling
Dan and Tamma are two Californian teenagers growing up dirt poor in the shadows of the Joshua Tree National Park, one of the world's great rock climbing meccas. Their mothers had once been teenage waitresses and best friends until their paths diverged. Now Dan's mother spends her days locked in her room, her dreams squandered and all her hopes pinned on getting her precociously clever son out of town and away to university.
Tamma's mother holds no such ambition for her mouthy, queer, truant-playing, snaggle-toothed daughter, who everyone but Dan believes to be a troublemaker and no-hoper. But Tamma and Dan are fuelled by dreams of becoming legendary rock climbers, of devoting their lives to summiting the most challenging climbs and defying all the expectations, both good and bad, that others have for them.
Climbing at sun-up, on cliff faces that test their bodies to the limit, is where their friendship is forged. It's also the one thing that gives them hope. But as their final year of high school unfolds and their climbs become ever more dangerous, and their home lives ever more extreme, it's inevitable that something is going to snap...

Dokonalí neznámi
Aférka v meste lásky ju privedie na divokú jazdu plnú romantiky, nebezpečia a ilúzií.
Úspešná americká spisovateľka Olivia Rossiová nedokázala napísať ani slovo od tragédie, ktorá jej pred dvomi rokmi prevrátila život naruby. Prenasledovaná minulosťou prijme ponuku stráviť leto v Paríži, kde hľadá uzdravenie aj stratenú múzu. Namiesto toho však nachádza Jamesa, príťažlivého cudzinca, ktorý v nej vzbudí nečakanú túžbu.
Olivia a James si povedia len svoje krstné mená, ale žiadne osobné tajomstvá, kým sa ponárajú do vášnivého romániku. No čím viac času spolu trávia, tým viac si Olivia uvedomuje, že sa jej letná aférka mení na čosi hlbšie. A že ten tajomný muž, ktorému podľahla, vôbec nie je tým, za koho sa vydáva.

Hráč
Sara přijíždí na vysokoškolskou kolej, aby začala daleko od svého domova studovat vysněnou žurnalistiku. Chce udělat tlustou čáru za svojí minulostí, vyléčit si zlomené srdce a zapomenout na to, co jí u nich doma provedl jeden bezcitný kluk.
Christian Hale je studentem architektury na téže vysoké škole. Působí jako lehkomyslný floutek a jednoho dne se vsadí s kamarády, že Saru během dvou týdnů dostane do postele. Sara však jejich sázku náhodou zaslechne a rozhodne se začít s Christianem hrát hru.
Ani jeden z nich ale nepočítá s tím, že by se mohli doopravdy zamilovat. Sara cítí, že podruhé by ji zrada někoho, koho by si příliš pustila k tělu, dokázala úplně psychicky zničit. A také Christian skrývá jakési nevyřešené věci z minulosti. Čím víc času spolu ale ti dva tráví a čím blíže se poznávají, zdá se jim stále těžší udržet si toho druhého dál od těla.

What is Huncút? - (Anglicky)
At the beginning of the 20th century, approximately one in four Slovaks lived in the United States, mainly in the industrial areas of the Northeast. The book is a collection of stories about immigrants from Slovakia in the US and their efforts to establish their own towns.
What is Huncút? explores the stories of these remarkable settlements through historical reports while uncovering the background of the most significant wave of immigration from present-day Slovakia to the United States.
The author, Milan Čupka, was inspired by his own family history – namely his great-grandfather's mysterious trip to Pittsburgh in 1907, which led to the departure of other relatives who are now scattered from Maryland, through Pennsylvania and Colorado, to Nevada. The author was driven by a desire to understand when Slovaks began emigrating to the US, what they experienced there, and what traces remained after this huge wave of emigration.
You will learn:
• who the first Slovaks in the US were,
• how difficult the journey by ship was in the 19th century,
• why most of them settled in industrial cities, but some decided to go South and West to pursue their dreams of becoming settlers.
What is Huncút? will give you a new perspective on your Slovak roots.
