The Naysayers
From bestselling authors Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke comes a witty, sharp-edged tale of corporate greed, unexpected romance, and the quiet power of our shared humanity. At Naysay Inc., rising star Megan’s job is to whisper negative thoughts straight into the minds of clients in the Real World. It’s all in a day’s dirty work in Naysayland, the parallel reality where your negativity is manufactured and self-doubt is a commodity. But when she is assigned to sabotage a romance between lifestyle influencer Lily and author Jasper, Megan’s carefully constructed reality begins to unravel. The project teams her with Ben, the smug but cute whisperer in the next cubicle. As they work to tear down Lily and Jasper’s situationship, Megan and Ben are catching feelings for each other. And it’s making them lose their negative edge. As their empathy grows, and they start rooting for the relationship they’re tasked with destroying, dreaded HR is sniffing around. Now they’re facing a choice: keep crushing dreams for a paycheck, or risk everything for their own fairy tale. Who knew professional pessimists could be such hopeless romantics?

Anatomy of an Alibi
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins, a tense, feverish thriller about two women's lives that are forever intertwined when a murder threatens to expose them both.
Everyone at Chantilly's Bar noticed out-of-towner Camille Bayliss. Red lips, designer heels, sipping a Negroni. Flirted a little with a local but returned alone to her bed-and-breakfast before midnight in her sleek car.
But that woman wasn't Camille Bayliss. It was Aubrey Price.
Aubrey has been haunted by the terrible night that changed her life a decade ago, and she's convinced Benjamin Bayliss knows something about it. Living in a house full of criminals, Aubrey understands there's more than one way to get to the truth - and she may have found the perfect way in.
Camille Bayliss appears to have the picture-perfect life; she's married to hotshot lawyer Ben and is the daughter of a wealthy Louisiana family. Only nothing is as it seems: Camille believes Ben has been hiding dirty secrets for years, but she can't find proof because he tracks her every move.
Aubrey and Camille hatch a plan. It sounds simple: For twelve hours, Aubrey will take Camille's place. Camille will spy on Ben, and the two women will get the answers they desperately seek.
Except the next morning, Ben is found murdered. Both women need an airtight alibi, but only one of them has it. And one false step is all it takes for everything to come undone.
It can be murder to walk in another woman's shoes...

This is Where the Serpent Lives
Intimate and epic, elegiac and profoundly moving: a tour de force destined to become a classic of contemporary literature‘Set to be a standout novel of 2026 ... Brutal, funny and brilliantly told’ Patrick Gale, Guardian‘All the makings of a classic’ Vogue‘Expect to see this novel all over prize lists in 2026 ... Mueenuddin is a literary magician’ The Times‘Masterful storytelling’ Daily Mail‘A book you'll be hearing about again’ New York Times‘An excoriating epic of class and power’ Observer‘A future classic, pure and simple ... Simply put, the novel is a triumph’ Irish TimesMoving from Pakistan’s sophisticated cities to its most rural farmlands, This Is Where the Serpent Lives captures the extraordinary proximity of extreme wealth to extreme poverty in a land where fate is determined by class and social station. Daniyal Mueenuddin’s This Is Where the Serpent Lives paints a powerful portrait of contemporary feudal Pakistan and a farm on which the destinies of a dozen unforgettable characters are linked through violence and love, resilience, and tragedy. Yazid rises from abject poverty to the role of trusted servant to an affluent gangster; Saqib, an errand boy, is eventually trusted to lead his boss’s new farming venture, where he becomes determined to rise above his rank by any means necessary. Saqib’s boss, the wealthy landowner Hisham, reminisces about meeting his wife while she was dating his brother while Gazala, a young teacher, falls for Saqib and his bold promises for their future before learning about his plans to skim money from the farm’s profits. In matters of both business and the heart, Mueenuddin’s characters struggle to choose between the paths that are moral and the paths that will allow them to survive the systems of caste, capital, and social power that so tightly grip their country. ‘Stunning’ Los Angeles Times‘Mueenuddin recalls Chekhov ...

Tajný život
V knize Tajný život (1998, Vie secr?te) se Pascal Quignard noří do hlubin lidské duše a odkrývá vrstvy vnitřního života, které zůstávají skryté před pohledem ostatních – i často před námi samými. V útržkovitých, meditativních textech zkoumá motivy samoty, paměti, touhy a ticha. Quignard propojuje autobiografické reflexe s filozofickými úvahami a kulturními odkazy, čímž vytváří jedinečnou mozaiku intimity a myšlení. Jeho jazyk je zároveň střídmý i lyrický, ztišený i hluboký, a vede čtenáře k pozoruhodnému vnitřnímu rozhovoru o tom, co to znamená být – a být skrytě.
Pascal Quignard (1948) je francouzský spisovatel, esejista a překladatel, proslulý svou žánrově nezařaditelnou, mnohovrstevnatou tvorbou oscilující mezi beletrií, filozofií a autobiografií. Působil jako redaktor v nakladatelství Gallimard a jako prezident festivalu barokní hudby ve Versailles. Jeho styl je charakteristický fragmentárností, obrazností a výraznou introspekcí – často zkoumá témata paměti, ticha, sexuality, tělesnosti a jazyka. Nejznámějším autorovým textem je díky filmovému zpracování román Všechna jitra světa (1991); česky dále vyšly Bludné stíny, za něž roku 2002 získal Goncourtovu cenu, a Terasa v Římě (2000). Quignard je považován za jednoho z nejpronikavějších a nejoriginálnějších myslitelů současné francouzské literatury.
V noci na 27. ledna 1997 postihla Pascala Quignarda vážná zdravotní příhoda, z níž vyvázl jen o vlas. Tehdy se rozhodl zcela stáhnout z veřejného života a zasvětit se posledním, či v jeho případě prvním věcem člověka: archeologii slova, genealogii citu, etymologii smyslů, a to formou zlomků, úvah vycházejících z četby, lingvistického a jiného bádání. Tak vzniklo Poslední království, jedinečné literární dílo, které k dnešnímu dni čítá dvanáct svazků a jehož je Tajný život, přestože vyšel jako díl osmý, samým počátkem.
Marplová - Expertka na špatnost
Lidskou povahu zná jako nikdo jiný a dokáže bystře a nekompromisně odhalit její temnou stránku – i díky tomu se slečna Marplová stala jednou z nejoblíbenějších vyšetřovatelek zločinů v klasické krimi. Tato kniha mapuje, kde všude a s jakým úspěchem se objevila jak v díle své tvůrkyně, Agathy Christie, tak i v adaptované podobě na jevišti, na filmovém plátně či na televizních obrazovkách. S pomocí dobového materiálu včetně reprodukcí plakátů či snímků z natáčení zachycuje poutavým způsobem osudy této postavy od jejího zrodu před téměř sto lety až po nedávnou sbírku Dvanáct nových případů z pera současných autorek detektivek.

Hamnet, 2. vydání
Manželský pár, který žil v osmdesátých letech šestnáctého století v Henley Street ve Stratfordu, měl tři děti, starší Susannu a mladší dvojčata Hamneta a Judith. Hamnet zemřel v roce 1596 ve věku jedenácti let. Zhruba o čtyři roky později napsal jeho otec hru Hamlet. Hamnet se inspiruje životem slavného dramatika. Je to příběh o poutu mezi dvojčaty a o manželství poznamenaném žalem. A také o neobyčejné ženě, jejíž jméno se většinou zmiňuje jen na okraj, o bleše, která se nalodí v Alexandrii, a o synovi rukavičkáře, jenž se pro milovanou ženu vzepře konvencím. Ze všeho nejvíc je to ale něžné a nezapomenutelné vyprávění o chlapci, na nějž se téměř zapomnělo, avšak jeho jméno přetrvává v jedné z nejslavnějších her literární historie.

Written in Stone
When Delaney wins a special Hidden Door Festival invitation to artist Ryory Bennigan's studio, she isn’t sure quite what to expect. What she finds is an elusive fellow obsessed with the Picts - complete with his own versions of their blue tattoos and vibrant red hair - recreating the stones they left behind. She also meets a visiting paleontologist, Dr. Adam Pace, from the University of Kansas attempting to sell an artifact that might just explain what the Picts' language really sounded like. Or at least that’s what he claimed the artifact was for. Before the deal can close and Ryory can get a closer look at it, Dr. Pace is found dead. With the police dragging their feet in the investigation, Delaney takes it upon herself to dig into Dr. Pace's past. Her research goes murky as she quickly discovers Pace’s shady background - selling fake dinosaur bones and running into some 3D-printing trouble back in Kansas. Could his past have come back to bite him in Edinburgh? And what does his questionable background mean for the mysterious Pictish artifact he was trying to sell to Ryory? Delaney will have to dust off her magnifying glass to uncover the truth behind this case… or risk becoming a pile of bones herself.
