Zralá, co hodně žrala
Soubor fejetonů a reportáží ze života ženy, která už dávno pochopila, že existují dva druhy lidí: ti vymyšlení, kterým jde život podle plánu… a pak my ostatní. Autorka se s odzbrojující upřímností a sebeironií probíjí světem, kde se děti umějí proměnit v neslyšící, neviditelné i nezvěstné tvory, osud má smysl pro humor hraničící s šikanou, muži mohou žrát, a přitom zrát, a romantika končí ve chvíli, kdy zjistíte, že petlička je místo na ložnicových dveřích omylem namontovaná na dveřích pokoje vaší puberťačky. Tahle kniha je pro všechny, co by si občas dali mokrý hadr na zavařenou hlavu nebo jím někoho přetáhli, ale místo toho zvolí léčbu smíchem. Pro všechny, kdo vědí, že život není jednoduchý, ale když už se s námi pere, měli bychom z toho vyrazit aspoň dobrou historku.

Midsummer Sisters (A Graphic Novel)
Midsummer Sisters is a contemporary graphic novel about two sisters who find themselves watching over a wild foal during a summer of change. A stunning story about the power of sisterhood.
Kenzie and Quinn aren't just stepsisters ? they're best friends. They're spending the summer with their grandmother, kayaking in the marshy coastal islands she calls home. The Outer Banks are also home to a herd of wild ponies, and the girls fall in love with a fragile newborn foal that they name Starling.
But even blue skies and sandy beaches can't distract from what's going on back home. Things between their parents aren't the way they used to be, and the constant fights have left Kenzie and Quinn anxious and confused. They can't remember a time when they weren't a family. If their parents divorce and Quinn and her mom move away, will they even still be sisters ... or will they be nothing?
As their world shifts around them, the girls swear to do the one thing they can: keep Starling safe.
Award-winning cartoonist Niki Smith delivers a stunning story set during a summer of change. Filled with gorgeous and expressive illustrations, Midsummer Sisters is a celebration of the beauty of wild horses, as powerful as the unbreakable bond between sisters.

Nagytakarítás
Itt a nyár, és zajlik az Edinburghi Fesztivál. A látogatók épp sorban állnak, hogy bejussanak egy rádióműsor felvételére, amikor szemtanúi lesznek egy koccanásnak, amely erőszakhoz, sőt majdnem gyilkossághoz vezet.
Az eset minden érintett életét felforgatja; a korábban katonaként, rendőrként és magánnyomozóként is dolgozó Jackson Brodie nem több ártatlan kívülállónál – mégis gyanúsítottá válik egy gyilkossági ügyben. Miközben sokasodnak a holttestek, és a különálló történetek szép lassan összefonódnak, a szereplők kapcsolódásai, mint egy matrjoskababa részei, beépülnek egymás életébe. Mindannyian szeretetre, pénzre, megváltásra vagy menekülésre vágynak, ám végső soron az igazi énjükkel szembesülnek.
Not Another Love Song - Csak szerelmes dalt ne!
Szenvedélyből született szimfónia!
Gwen Jackson és Xander Thorne született muzsikusok, nagyon eltérő háttérrel. Xander klasszikus zenével foglalkozó családba született, a fiatalon árvaságra jutott Gwen viszont ösztönös tehetség, aki viszonylag későn kezdett el zenélni.
Gwen egy esküvői fellépésén összefut Xanderrel. A csellista nem emlékszik a lányra, holott egy évig zenéltek közösen egy szimfonikus zenekarban. Gwent viszont ennél is jobban dühíti, hogy a férfi arrogánsan kritizálja az előadásmódját.
Amikor Gwennek felajánlják az első hegedűs posztját, amire Xander titokban évek óta áhítozik, a köztük feszülő ellentét még tovább erősödik.
Ahogy a közös munka során elkezdik felfedezni és beismerni egymás iránti érzelmeiket, egyre nyilvánvalóbbá válik, hogy különleges kapcsolatuknak köszönhetően olyan előadást tudnak létrehozni, ami mindenkit lenyűgöz.
De vajon lassan kibontakozó románcuk képes lesz kibírni a sikerrel járó nyomást?
