Globetrotters: Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland's World Tour
In the 1800s the newspaper is king and female journalists are few and far between. Intrepid reporters Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland are pitted against the clock and each other in a madcap publicity stunt that the whole world is watching—read all about one of the first viral news stories reported on and starring two fearless female journalists in the race of their careersEveryone knows about Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days, but what about a real-life mad dash around the world in less than 80 days? This is the challenge that journalist Nellie Bly tackles in 1889—her mission is to beat the famous fictional record set by Phileas Fogg, the main character of Jules Verne’s famous novel. Whether or not the stunt is successful, it will mean big sales for the paper she writes for, the New York World. But as Nellie Bly sets off on her journey, up-and-coming competing newspaper Cosmopolitan decides to send another woman, Elizabeth Bisland, on the exact same journey, turning an already challenging publicity stunt into a competition that pits the two women against each other on the world stage. As the press coverage heats up, the world watches breathlessly and the public pressure intensifies. Bly and Bisland are embroiled in a race against time, with sexism and prejudice to contend with to boot. A breathless, lively, and gripping graphic novel recounting the real-life tale of one of the most famous publicity stunts ever attempted by two fearless female journalists!
That's Not How It Happened
“Funny and poignant... Craig Thomas is a big-hearted, empathetic writer who knows his characters inside and out." —Tom Perrotta, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Mrs. Fletcher and The Leftovers“Funny, real and moving all at once...[A] wonderful, heartfelt debut.” –Lin-Manuel Miranda, Tony-Award Winning creator of Broadway’s HamiltonFrom the Emmy-nominated co-creator and Executive Producer of How I Met Your Mother, this smart, funny, bighearted novel for fans of Kevin Wilson and Monica Heisey, follows a family turned upside down after Hollywood decides to make a movie version of their lives. With Audiobook narration by Cobie Smulders and Josh RadnorPaige didn’t set out to be a stay-at-home mom, but when her husband’s screenwriting career took off right before they had a son with Down syndrome, the decision was made for her. Now, with their children nearly grown and unsure what's next, Paige writes a memoir about the challenges of raising a child with a disability. When a major actress-turned-producer shows up at her door eager to make her “inspiring” story into a movie, she’s shocked, excited, and a little terrified. This movie just might be the comeback opportunity her husband, Rob, desperately needs. His career has fizzled in recent years. But the movie is going to need a screenwriter, and who better to adapt his wife's memoir than him?... Meanwhile, their son, Emmett, doesn’t understand why people think his Down syndrome is the most important thing in his life (that's definitely his girlfriend, Amy)—but he hopes his newfound fame might somehow get him closer to meeting his idol, Eddie Vedder. Their daughter, Darcy, couldn't care less about the whole thing because she’s hardly even in their mom's book. The “normal” child who nobody ever worries about is feeling more forgotten than ever as her love life implodes and college decisions loom. As their lives are chewed up and spit out by the Hollywood machine, triggering old resentments and launching new betrayals, will any of them even recognize the "inspiring" family in this film? Or will this "feel-good" movie be the end of them?

Mrs. Christie at the Mystery Guild Library
Tory Van Dyne is the most down-to-earth member of a decidedly eccentric old-money New York family. For one thing, as book conservator at Manhattan''s Mystery Guild Library, she actually has a job. Plus, she''s left up-town society behind for a quiet life downtown. So she''s not thrilled when she discovers a woman in the library''s Christie Room who calmly introduces herself as Agatha Christie, politely requests a cocktail, and announces she''s there to help solve a murder - that has not yet happened. But as soon as Tory determines that this is just a fairly nutty Christie fangirl, her socialite/actress cousin Nicola gets caught up in the suspicious death of her less-than-lovable talent agent. Nic, as always, looks to Tory for help. Tory, in turn, looks to Mrs. Christie. The woman, whoever or whatever she is, clearly knows her stuff when it comes to crime. Aided by a found family of unlikely sleuths - including a snarky librarian, an eleven-year-old computer whiz, and an NYPD detective with terrible taste in suits - Tory and the woman claiming to be her very much deceased literary idol begin to unravel the twists and turns of a murderer''s devious mind. Because, in the immortal words of Miss Jane Marple, ''murder is never simple.''

Letos o Vánocích
Rose kdysi Vánoce milovala – dokud se jí jednoho roku život neobrátil naruby. Od té doby by nejradši zapomněla, že tyhle svátky existují, a představa, že by je měla strávit se svou rodinou, ji naplňuje hrůzou. I Charlie má své důvody, proč se na letošní Vánoce ani trochu netěší a všechno s nimi spojené mu leze na nervy. Ti dva se neznají, ale nezávisle na sobě dostanou nápad strávit svátky v malebné chalupě na irském venkově, daleko od všeobecných oslav. Jenže chybička se vloudí, a dva lidé, kteří chtěli prožít Vánoce o samotě, se ocitnou ve stejný čas na stejném místě a nezbývá jim než zůstat pár dní pod jednou střechou a nějak se s tím vyrovnat. Pomůže jim tohle náhodné setkání zahojit staré rány a začít znovu?

A sárkány végzete (A gyöngyszemű sárkány 1.) - Éldekorált kiadás
794-ben a tenger egy dühödt férfit vet ki magából a japán partokon. Nem közönséges halandó ő: a tengerek ember alakban rekedt istene, aki valójában sárkány. Egy nő megölte a legjobb barátját, őt pedig, a zöldfülű uralkodót, kijátszotta és letaszította a trónjáról.
Akuma évekig hánykolódott a tengeren, most pedig bosszútól vezérelve vissza akarja szerezni a hatalmát, és megmenteni a népét. Ehhez éppen kapóra jön a trónbitorló kebelbarátnője.
Tora búvár, szinte lételeme az óceáni közeg, és sokáig bírja víz alatt – tovább, mint a tengeristen jelenlegi alakjában. Egy tenger mélyére történő merülést azonban még ő sem élhet túl, halála pedig bosszúként szolgálna Akuma veszteségéért cserébe.
A tengeristen vak vándornak adja ki magát, és kihasználja Tora szimpátiáját és elszántságát, aki bármire hajlandó, hogy megtalálja halottnak hitt, elveszett barátnőjét. Ráveszi a lányt, hogy vigye le őt a tengermélyi birodalmába – eltitkolva, hogy Tora nem élheti túl a veszélyes merülést.
Útnak indulnak az Édesvizű-tenger felé, ám mielőtt elérnék azt, olyan kalandba merülnek, ami mindent örökre megváltoztathat. Még az is lehet, hogy hiába földi halandó csupán, Tora lesz a sárkány végzete.
„Egy bőr alá kúszó, izgalmas, szép, de kegyetlen történet, amit nem elolvastam, hanem átéltem. Izgultam, nevettem, sírtam, szerettem, haragudtam, kíváncsi voltam. Éreztem.”
