Songs for Other Peoples Weddings
A charming, tender novel about an unlucky-in-love wedding singer trying to find the right words to save his relationship, from award-winning, bestselling author David Levithan and beloved, acclaimed singer-songwriter Jens Lekman.
J is an accidental wedding singer. Unlike most wedding singers, he writes an original song for every couple-his way of finding out about the small, strange things that brought them together and the hopeful, vulnerable feelings they're experiencing.
J's own love life is in a state of flux. His girlfriend is off to New York for work, and as her life grows bigger and busier without him in it, he finds it harder to stick to a happy tune. He doesn't know whether to encourage the soon-to-be-wed couples or warn them.
When complications hit and love is tested, is there any way to sing through all the noise?
Combining David Levithan's deeply observant storytelling and Jens Lekman's inventive and touching original songs, Songs for Other People's Weddings is a tender, honest novel that tracks love through all its chord changes, never forgetting that the best songs contain the bitter and the sweet, the despair of losing it all and the euphoria of being found.
Never Been Witched
“Amid magical shenanigans...this book might just have you laughing out loud.” Hazel Beck for Witches Get Stuff Done
Welcome to Starfall Point, where haunted hotels and heartfelt magic collide.
Shy antiques expert and full-time witch, Alice Seastairs, thought keeping her magical talents hidden from the world, and her coven, would keep everyone safe. But when charming, buttoned-up Collin Bancroft asks Alice to bring his family’s haunted hotel back to life, her carefully ordered world is thrown into delightful (and ghostly) chaos.
Collin may be polished, practical, and utterly skeptical about magic, but the more time he spends with Alice and the Duchess Hotel’s mischievous spirits, the harder it becomes to deny that something enchanting is happening-both in the hotel and in his own guarded heart. As Alice finds herself drawn to Collin’s kindness and humor, she must also confront the shadows of her past, the secrets that keep her from her coven sisters, and a growing threat that could destroy the fragile happiness she’s finally found.
Never Been Witched is loved for its laugh-out-loud humor, gentle romance, and unforgettable blend of paranormal mischief and emotional depth. With a heroine discovering her strength, a romance that grows with every page, and a cast of witches, ghosts, and small-town eccentrics, this book delivers the heart and healing fans of witchy romance crave.
As comforting as it is magical, Never Been Witched will sweep you away to a world where even the most broken hearts can find a little magic-and maybe, just maybe, their own happily ever after.
Atmosféra
Hvězdy jsou životní vášní Joan Goodwinové, co si pamatuje. Přemýšlivá a zdrženlivá Joan je spokojená se svým životem profesorky fyziky a astronomie na Riceově univerzitě i s rolí tety sedmileté neteře Frances. Tedy až do chvíle, než narazí na inzerát hledající první astronautky do vesmírného programu NASA. V Joan se probudí dosud potlačovaná touha stát se jednou z těch, kdo se vydají do vesmíru.
V létě 1980 je z tisíců uchazečů skutečně vybrána a začíná výcvik v Johnsonově vesmírném středisku v Houstonu spolu s výjimečnou skupinou dalších kandidátů: Hankem a Johnem, laskavými parťáky za všech okolností, cílevědomou a odhodlanou Lydií, srdečnou a kamarádskou Donnou a tajemnou a osobitou Vanessou – leteckou inženýrkou, která dokáže opravit jakýkoli motor a pilotovat jakýkoli stroj.
Zatímco se z nových astronautů i přes všechny vzájemné odlišnosti stávají dobří přátelé a připravují se na svůj první let, Joan nachází vášeň a lásku, o které se jí ani nesnilo. A začne zpochybňovat vše, co do té doby určovalo její život.
A pak se jednoho dne v prosinci 1984 při vesmírné misi všechno v jediném okamžiku změní…
Kultovní autorka titulů Daisy Jones and the Six a Sedm manželů Evelyn Hugo přichází s netrpělivě očekávanou novinkou o výjimečném úsilí, které vynakládáme, abychom žili a milovali, a o volbách, na které se nedá připravit.
Vychází v překladu Hany Sichingerové.

Words Are My Matter
Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We'll need writers who can remember freedom - poets, visionaries - realists of a larger reality . . .
Words Are My Matter is a selection of Ursula K. Le Guin's best writing on literature, articulating with precision and passion her belief in the social and political value of storytelling - especially in hard times. In doing so, and with her characteristic spirit, Le Guin offers both a glimmer of hope and a set of operating instructions for a life lived with meaning.
Fight - Sky Ridge Hotshots 1
He's a hotshot firefighter who lost everything.
She's a risk he can't afford to take.
One spark and their rules go up in smoke . . .
Fighting wildfires is the only thing I've ever wanted to do and I'm damn good at it. Being the captain of an inter-agency hotshot crew of wildland firefighters is high risk, high reward. The risk blindsided me five years ago when I lost one of my crew and my life was changed for ever. Now, the only rewards I allow myself are to work harder and smarter and to enjoy easy, sexy nights with strangers.
Then I meet Prescott Timmons. Her smart mouth and adventurous spirit have me forgetting all of my rules - until her past shows up and her lies start to feel familiar. I swear to never spare her a second glance, but when she finds herself in a life-or-death situation with Mother Nature, my instincts kick in and I take action. Stranded and sharing a bed again, we're forced to face our truth.
Do we let this fire burn out or fight for it?

The TOON Treasury of Classic Children's Comics
A gorgeous 350-page collection of the greatest children's comics, compiled by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly, now back in print for a new generation of kids (and classic comics fans of all ages).
This unprecedented collection of the greatest comics for children was artfully compiled by two of the best-known creators in publishing and the field of comics, Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly, who also contribute a funny foreword that they call "Out of the Trash and into a Treasury."
This treasury contains humorous stories that range from a single page to eight or even twenty-two pages, each complete and self-contained. Pogo, Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge, and Dennis the Menace are among the favorite characters who appear in these pages.
The comics have been culled from the Golden Age of comic books, roughly the 1940s through the early 1960s, and feature the best examples of works by such renowned artists and writers as Carl Barks, John Stanley, Sheldon Mayer, Walt Kelly, Basil Wolverton, and George Carlson, among many, many others.
The book is organized into five categories (Hey, Kids!; Funny Animals; Fantasyland; Story Time!; and Wacky & Weird), and Spiegelman and Mouly have used their expertise to frame each category with an introductory essay and provide brief biographies of the artists.
The TOON Treasury of Classic Children's Comics is essential reading for kids of all ages.
Sanshiro
A gorgeous new clothbound edition of Soseki's cherished novel, with an introduction by Haruki Murakami
'Even bigger than Japan is the inside of your head. Don't ever surrender yourself - not to Japan, not to anything'
Soseki's work of gentle humour and doomed innocence depicts twenty-three-year-old Sanshiro, a recent graduate from a provincial college, as he begins university life in the big city of Tokyo. Baffled and excited by the traffic, the academics and - most of all - the women, Sanshiro must find his way amongst the sophisticates that fill his new life. An incisive social and cultural commentary, Sanshiro is also a subtle study of first love, tradition and modernization, and the idealism of youth against the cynicism of middle age.
This Penguin Classics edition of Soseki's beloved novel is translated by Jay Rubin with an introduction by Haruki Murakami.

SECRETS ARE THE DEADLIEST POISON
Eustacia Rose is done with murder cases. She's ready to settle down with her partner, Matilde, and focus on her work at the university. To live a normal life.
But then along comes a case she can't resist investigating - because this time, the murder victim was poisoned with hemlock, one of the plants stolen from Eustacia's illicit garden of poisonous plants. And Eustacia is not the only one desperate to retrieve her lost treasure: the beguiling trader of rare plants, Zsa Zsa, and rival university professor Hutchins are on the trail, too, not to mention the dangerous criminal gang determined to keep hold of the lethal plants.
The stakes are higher than ever for Eustacia. Because if she cannot save her plants in time, there will be more deaths - and this time, the blood will be on her hands . . .
With a quirky protagonist, dark academia aesthetic and an array of exotic poisonous plants, this unique spin on the classic murder mystery novel will hook fans Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, Robert Thorogood's The Marlow Murder Club and Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club.
