Místo na nový začátek
Román Místo na nový začátek vypráví dojemný příběh Lilac McCarthyové, která se po tragické ztrátě snaží znovu najít pevnou půdu pod nohama. Veškerou svou energii upíná k rodinné farmě Cherry Hill, jež pro ni není jen zdrojem obživy, ale především posledním poutem k minulosti, kterou nechce ztratit. Každodenní starosti, péče o sad i přípravy tradičního festivalu jí dávají smysl i řád – a zároveň jí pomáhají držet bolest na uzdě.
Když se však do jejího života nečekaně vrací Bo Radisson, kdysi blízký přítel, první láska a zároveň dávný protivník, Lilacin pečlivě vystavěný svět se začne otřásat v základech. Bo přijíždí s vlastními plány a představami o budoucnosti, které se střetávají s Lilacinou touhou uchovat vše tak, jak bylo. Staré rány, nevyřčené výčitky i potlačované city znovu ožívají a nutí oba postavit se minulosti, kterou nikdy doopravdy neuzavřeli.
Lilac se ocitá na rozcestí: má se držet jistot, které jí dávají pocit bezpečí, nebo riskovat a otevřít své srdce změně? Dokáže odpustit – nejen druhým, ale i sama sobě? A je možné znovu uvěřit lásce, která kdysi ztroskotala?

A Life in Lyrics
Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest showmen of the twentieth century. With his unparalleled voice and searing on-stage energy, he was a great pretender, a killer queen and a champion of the world.
But behind the glamour lived a musician and lyricist talented beyond measure, and the creative force behind one of the most culturally significant and musically diverse bands the world has ever seen.
When Freddie passed away in 1991, he left to his former fiancée and dearest friend Mary Austin not only his house and possessions but also a creative archive spanning almost two decades. From his earliest works before Queen was formed, right through to the end of his solo career, his notebooks and doodlings contain previously unpublished material including alternate lyrics and abandoned verses for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and multiple drafts of ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, as well as entire songs that were never recorded.
Accompanied by stories, memories, and anecdotes from his lifelong companion, and illustrated with photographs from Freddie’s personal collection, many of which have never been published before, A Life in Lyrics is the definitive creative record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor
From USA Today bestselling author Kathryn Moon comes the Tempting Monsters universe: a scorching, emotional, why-choose paranormal romance with a Victorian edge.
On the brink of losing her position as a maid and with no prospects to go on, the offer of a place at Rooksgrave Manor?a house of ill and unusual repute?sounds like a perfect fit for a young woman with Esther's inclinations. Even better, the invitation comes by the hand of the handsome Dr. Underwood, a delicate gentleman with a ferocious alter ego who knows exactly what he wants from Esther.
Upon arrival, the men and the daily decadence of the manor feel too good to be true for a girl of Esther's station. There are rules to be followed, expectations to meet, and Esther is afraid she might be too wicked even for a place like Rooksgrave.
Temptations lurk around every shadowy corner and Esther has never been a girl able to resist. But the risk of disappointing her new gentlemen isn't all that's threatening Esther's new position. Rooksgrave Manor's protections for its unusual patrons are failing, the wards are crumbling, and Esther's new and exquisitely pleasurable life may all come tumbling down.

History of the Modern World
Written by leading historian Jeremy Black, this fascinating reference guide charts an incredible history of the modern world.In this masterful account, Black explores the key themes that have shaped the history of the modern world since 1950. Eschewing a simple political narrative, he instead explores the roles of the environment, demographics, the economy and technology in driving change in the world.The story begins in 1950, by which time a new world order had come into place, with Communism firmly established in Russia, Eastern Europe and China, decolonisation well underway in the old European empires, and the American monopoly on nuclear weaponry at an end, setting the stage for the Cold War.Over the course of the next 75 years, the world changed immeasurably - the population nearly tripled; climate change became ever more pronounced; new liberal values regarding gender, sexuality and age took hold; television and then the internet became the primary drivers of culture; and a new frontier of exploration opened up in space. At the same time tensions continued in politics, with alternative models of democracy and authoritarianism coming into fierce conflict and a range of new countries emerging through decolonization.Ranging widely across the globe, A History of the Modern World sheds new light on this fascinating era.

Situated : Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best
‘If you read one book this year to level up your life, make it this one’ MEL ROBBINS'For anyone who feels stuck, this book offers a path to something new' CAROL DWECK From the #1 bestselling author of Grit, a new book that reveals the hidden power of situations - and how you can shape them to bring out your best.In Angela Duckworth’s first book, she showed that a common denominator of successful strivers is a blend of passion and perseverance she dubbed 'grit.' This new book springs from her deepening realization that grit, while necessary, is sometimes not sufficient. How you situate yourself to meet a challenge can be crucial.Duckworth’s in-depth research reveals the enormous influence wielded by the objects within arm’s reach, your peers and mentors, and even where you live. Though you’re often told to make the best of your situation, it is far, far better to make your situation better first.
In Situated, you’ll discover:Why your personality changes, sometimes dramatically, from one situation to another – and how you can harness that shift
The secret to conquering temptation without willpower
Why taking the less effortful path can feel like cheating but often solves a stubborn problem
How the company you keep shapes the person you become
The most effective ways to help others succeedHighlighting four essential elements of successful situations, Duckworth shows how high performers like Taylor Swift, Michael Phelps and Jerry Seinfeld create situations that make the most of their grit. And with disarming honesty, she shares her own struggles with burnout and marriage – and how learning to change her situation, not herself, made all the difference.Whatever it is you want to achieve, there’s a situation that can make your journey easier.It takes effort to make your situation your ally – but a little effort goes a long way ... when you get situated.
Noční stíny
Obyvatelé Akranesu jsou v šoku: při požáru rodinného domu zahyne místní mladík Marinó, syn úspěšného podnikatele s nemovitostmi. Elma Jónsdóttir a její kolegové z kriminálního oddělení velmi záhy zjistí, že požár někdo založil úmyslně, a tak se rozbíhá pátrání po možném viníkovi, které zpočátku končí ve slepých uličkách. Později však vyjde najevo, co zadal Marinó před svou smrtí do internetového vyhledávače, a vyšetřovatelé se začnou obávat, že nemají co do činění pouze s jednou vraždou, ale rovnou se dvěma.
Islandská autorka Eva Björg Agisdóttir debutovala v roce 2018 oceňovaným detektivním románem Tiché kroky na schodech (česky 2025), na nějž navázalo pokračování Prolhané holky (česky 2026). Ve třetím dílu série s vyšetřovatelkou Elmou Jónsdóttir Noční stíny mohou čtenáři sledovat, jak si poradí se svým třetím velkým případem po přesunu na kriminální oddělení v Akranesu. Kromě komplikovaného vyšetřování se Elma navíc musí potýkat s náročnou situací ve svém soukromí, která jí co nevidět převrátí život vzhůru nohama.
