Cafe. Waiting. Love.
'Dreams that are laughable when said aloud are often the ones most worth pursuing. Even if you fall . . .'In a small café in Hsinchu, Taiwan, everyone is waiting for something. Whether it's love, a second chance or a sign of something greater. More than just an ordinary coffee shop; this is a place for serendipitous encounters.Si-ying, a young woman working at the café, harbours a secret crush on the handsome Tse-yu, who regularly visits with a new girlfriend in tow. However, her life takes a turn when she befriends the quirky and earnest Ah Tuo. He takes her on adventures and introduces her to an eclectic mix of people who aren't what they seem to be - a triad boss who is a cinephile and a laundrette owner who whips up exquisite dishes worthy of Michelin stars (but only on a Sunday!).Feelings are complicated, Si-ying learns. Within the café's walls, moments of reflection reveal profound truths. Amidst the wait for someone else, Si-ying makes her most significant journey: the one to discovering herself.** Translated from the Mandarin Chinese by Shanna Tan **
My Name is MacKenzie Bly
I am fourteen years old and I’m called MacKenzie Bly. It’s a good name, isn’t it? Unfortunately, I just made it up, I’m actually called Philip Stephens which, if there was ever a competition for the world’s most boring name, would be a clear winner. ‘We didn’t want to call you something that would mean you’d get teased’ is what Mum B says.But given that I’m the size of a vending machine, hate sport, live with my Mums, one of whom teaches biology at my school, and don’t live with my Dad who plays air guitar, has ginger plaits down to his waist and writes random notes on Rizlas instead of using a diary, they might as well have called me ‘Fattus Butticus’ for all the difference it would have made….Oh, and my best friend Sy has just moved to New Zealand.Life is terrible.I hope you enjoy reading this.

Agrippa
From the #1 internationally bestselling author of Conclave and Dictator, a gripping tale of ancient Rome’s descent into dictatorshipHe was born feet first, a dangerous way to enter the world. His mother did not survive, and the nickname, Agrippa—mother killer—stuck. But the schoolyard taunting only served to harden his resolve and hone his predilection for aggression. In time, the name lost its sting and became instead a mark of his invincibility. It came to shape his destiny.Agrippa was a mere commoner, a plebeian, his father a humble Stoic, but he earned the respect and fear of his peers. He defended a bullied young boy, Octavius, who turned out to be the nephew of Caesar himself, a chance encounter that would change the trajectory of his life. He eventually joined the ranks of the legionnaires and marched against their enemies. His prowess on the battlefield spoke for itself, and Caesar relied on him to protect his favored nephew. When Caesar was murdered in the Senate, Octavius inherited the empire in name only. To assume the mantle he would have to fight for it, and Agrippa, forever by his side, would be his closest advisor and the merciless agent of his military will.As gripping and full of intrigue as his bestselling novel Conclave, Agrippa is Robert Harris’s monumental return to the world of ancient Rome on the precipice of dictatorship, a novel for our times.

Karmínové hortenzie 1
Mala som zomrieť už dávno. Ale prežila som. Prežila som toľkokrát, až sa to prestalo podobať náhode. No nie všetko, čo prežiješ, ťa nechá celú. Niektoré veci v tebe zostanú dlhšie a hlbšie. A napokon, aj napriek všetkému, definujú tvoj osud.
Myslela som, že to najhoršie je za mnou. Že som konečne v bezpečí. Bola som si istá, že som si vybudovala život, ktorý mi už nikto nevezme… A na chvíľu to bola pravda. Mala som všetko, čo som si kedysi ani nedovolila chcieť.
Ako veľmi som sa mýlila…
Stačila jedna chvíľa, aby sa všetko rozpadlo, aby som sa ocitla na úplnom dne. Bez varovania. Bez vysvetlenia. Zrazu som zostala obklopená len beznádejou. A práve vtedy som ho stretla.
„Celeste, aká náhoda, že mi pomáhaš práve ty…“
Zaskočená som sa spýtala: „Odkiaľ…?“
„Z budúcnosti…“ odpovedal neochvejne, skôr než som dokončila otázku.
„Vidíš?“ zašepkal. „Presne takto to robíš vždy. Zachraňuješ. A pritom netušíš, koho si práve pustila k sebe.“
V tej chvíli som ešte nechápala, že on nikdy nebol ten, kto potreboval pomoc, ale ten, pred ktorým som mala utekať.
Čo má muž, ktorý sa nikdy nevzdáva, spoločné s minulosťou, prítomnosťou a budúcnosťou hlavnej hrdinky? Prežije Celeste vo svete, ktorý jej nikdy nedovolil byť slobodnou? A aké tajomstvo skrýva neznámy, ktorý sa objavil práve vtedy, keď mala Celeste zomrieť?
Odpovede vás vtiahnu do temného, mrazivo realistického dystopického príbehu, z ktorého sa nedá uniknúť.
Karmínové hortenzie 2
„Vždy si bola vzdorovitá,“ pokračoval ticho, „ale to sa teraz skončí.“
Palcom mi prešiel po spodnej pere, pomaly, takmer skúmavo a jemne ju pootvoril, keď sa ku mne naklonil bližšie. Tvrdosť jeho tela sa aj cez látku uniformy pritlačila o moje stehno – neprehliadnuteľná pripomienka jeho neochvejnej kontroly.
„To znamená… že ma teraz zabiješ?“ zašepkala som.
Hlas sa mi zachytil v hrdle, sotva ma mohol počuť, zatiaľ čo strach vo mne rástol a spolu s ním aj zakázané vzrušenie, ktoré mi pulzovalo žilách.
„Mal by som,“ odpovedal takmer hravo, „no neurobím to… aspoň nie zatiaľ.“
Xavriel sa ticho zasmial. Ten zvuk mi zavibroval priamo v hrudi. Jeho druhá ruka skĺzla nižšie, až spočinula na oblúku môjho bedra a bez námahy si ma pritiahol ešte bližšie. Zachvela som sa.
„Je zaujímavé sledovať, ako sa ma zrazu bojíš,“ zamrmlal pri mojich perách. „Bude to celkom zábava, keď ma konečne začneš rešpektovať!“
Schmatol ma za vlasy a hlavu mi prudko otočil do strany. Jeho dych ma popálil na krku, kým jeho slová niesli temný prísľub. Xavrielove prsty sa mi pohrávali s bradou, zdvihli ju o trochu vyššie, aby som sa nemohla vyhnúť jeho skúmavému pohľadu, a zatiaľ jeho druhá ruka privlastňujúco stisla môj bok. Kolená sa mi podlomili a telo sa k nemu nevedomky prehlo – napriek hrôze, ktorá mi práve zvierala dušu…
V tej chvíli mi bolo jasné, že ak chcem prežiť, budem sa mu musieť podriadiť.
Nechajte sa vtiahnuť do druhej časti príbehu, kde sa vzrušujúce napätie prelína s erotickou iskrou a kde má aj temnota svoju neodolateľnú príťažlivosť.
Bohovia a beštie 2: Trón padlých bohov
Ponorená do temnoty... Len láska ju dokáže zachrániť.
Dianna je zlomená, plná smútku a túžby po pomste. Ako legendárna ig’morruthenka dokáže prijať akúkoľvek podobu, jej skutočný zjav je však najdesivejší zo všetkých. Ako v nej mizne aj posledný kúsok ľudskosti, rozhodne sa podvoliť svojej monštruóznej stránke a spáliť všetky svety.
Nesmrteľný boh Samkiel bol kedysi úhlavným nepriateľom Dianny a jej druhu. Avšak teraz ako jediný odmieta uveriť, že žena, ktorú miluje, sa stala beštiou. A urobí všetko, čo je v jeho silách, aby ju vytiahol z okraja zatratenia.
Kým Kadenova armáda ohrozuje ríše a na obzore sa objavujú ďalšie hrozby, Samkiel si nemôže dovoliť poľaviť v ostražitosti. Lenže Diannina túžba po krvi narastá a jemu dochádza čas na to, aby zachránil ju aj seba samého.
