The Connection Code
A guide for women to stop seeking outside validation and turn inward—because the connection they’ve been searching for has been inside them all along. Many of us women feel disconnected from ourselves, our purpose, our passions, and from a deep sense of belonging that we crave. The Connection Code is here to change that for every woman in every stage of life who has ever felt stuck in self-doubt, sick of people-pleasing, and listless just going through the motions of the day, checking off her never-ending to do list instead of truly living. The Connection Code reveals a powerful new paradigm: Our ego isn’t the enemy, it's just misunderstood. By learning to befriend and partner with the ego instead of power over or fight against it women become empowered from within—unlocking a whole new level of clarity, confidence, and ease accessible at any time—even amidst life’s most chaotic moments. The Connection Code rewrites the rules of self-care, with a focus on alignment in daily life without adding more to your plate. Through personal stories, easy-to-implement tools, and eye-opening insights, its teachings also help you:· Shift from “blending in” to standing in your truth, making it easier to create and hold boundaries. · Learn how to walk away from circles that you have outgrown and allow your true community to find you. · Embrace your ego and true self to create a life of ease, confidence, and joy! The Connection Code is your permission slip to reclaim you. And when you do, you’re not just helping yourself—you empower other women to do the same. This is more than just a book—it's your homecoming.
Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari Vol. 14
The fierce battle between the Saenome and the paper umbrellas continues! While Hyoma charges ahead in search of Botan, his allies are split into their own skirmishes against the umbrellas. Everything changes when one of the Saenome thought devoured by the umbrellas suddenly appears, leading to the appearance of more formerly departed allies—and enemies—who join the fray on both sides of the battle. But the longer the two sides clash, the more Botan’s fate hangs in the balance, as the living god within her comes closer to emerging…
The Little Book of Unicorns
This elusive creature was originally thought to inhabit the edge of the known world. Biblical and classical material, travellers' tales, clerical writings and theological speculation influenced the perceived appearance of this noble beast, but the graceful white horse with a single long horn remains is most recognizable embodiment. The medieval unicorn became a potent symbol of religious and secular love which has continued to inspire poets, writers and artists. As belief in the unicorn's reality waned, a renewed interest in the medieval past provided a context for it to flourish once again as a subject for art, literature and mystical meditation. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century medievalism infused pictorial and poetic unicorn imagery with an aura of romantic nostalgia that paved the way for its dramatic revival: it gained wings and took flight within the genre of fantasy literature. More recently unicorns have inspired a variety of contemporary trends, from merchandising to financial rhetoric, and the 'animal that never was' shows no sign of disappearing.
Disrupting White Noise
A bold and timely reexamination of how white students understand and engage with race on college campuses In Disrupting White Noise, Zak Foste and Lauren N. Irwin challenge the prevailing belief that white students come to college as "empty vessels," revealing how these students are already deeply shaped by their pre-college environments—bringing powerful attitudes and beliefs about race that can impede efforts toward inclusion. Drawing from years of interviews and research at a variety of institutions, Foste and Irwin demonstrate how campus environments often reinforce white racial comfort, reproduce segregation, and limit effective cross-racial engagement. Vivid narratives highlight how institutional policies, leadership programs, and daily campus life can inadvertently maintain barriers for students of color—while failing to address the real foundations of white students' understanding of race. The book goes beyond critique, offering actionable recommendations and concrete strategies that campus leaders can implement to disrupt harmful patterns and foster authentic learning. With clarity, urgency, and insight, this work equips higher education professionals to critically examine their own practices and to intentionally create more just, equitable environments. Essential reading for anyone who works with college students, this book provides the knowledge and tools to move beyond surface-level solutions towards genuine, lasting change.
See You on the Other Side
'Shows McInerney at his best' SPECTATOR'Our modern-day Fitzgerald' VANITY FAIR'One of the most gifted writers of his generation' OBSERVERThe eagerly anticipated final volume of Jay McInerney’s stunningly accomplished and profoundly affecting fictional tetralogy: Brightness Falls, The Good Life, Bright Precious Days, and now See You on the Other SideIt's early 2020 in New York, and the looming threat of a global pandemic begins to unsettle the gilded lives of Manhattan’s literary and social elite. Now in their sixties, Russell and Corrine Calloway are navigating a new chapter: downsizing from their Harlem brownstone to a penthouse in the Village, grieving the death of Corrine’s mother, and all the while facing the encroaching anxieties of aging, memory, and cultural obsolescence.

Told with McInerney’s signature wit and elegiac prose, See You on the Other Side is a dazzling finale to the bestselling Calloway series, capturing the disorientation of a couple forced to confront their own mortality amidst shifting cultural tides and the slow unravelling of the world they once knew.

Zeus and Hera
A landmark study of the archetypal father, husband, and wife in Greek religion and mythWhat did Zeus mean to the Greeks of antiquity? Who was Hera, archetypally united with Zeus as if they were a human couple? Examining the word Zeus and its Greek synonyms theos and daimon, acclaimed mythologist and historian of religion Carl Kerényi traces the origins of Greek religion to the Minoan-Mycenean civilization. He shows how Homer’s view of the gods decisively shaped the literary and artistic tradition of Greek divine mythology and how the emergence of the Olympian family became the expression of a humane Zeus cult determined by the father image but formed within the domain of Hera.
Halo: Primordium
The second novel of the Forerunner Saga trilogy by science fiction legend Greg Bear-set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!One hundred thousand years ago. In the wake of the apparent self-destruction of the alien Forerunner empire, two humans-Chakas and Riser-are like flotsam washed up on very strange shores indeed. Captured by the Forerunner known as the Master Builder and then misplaced during a furious battle in space, Chakas and Riser now find themselves on an inverted world, where horizons rise into the sky and humans of all kinds are trapped in a perilous cycle of horror and neglect. They have become both research animals and strategic pawns in a cosmic game whose madness knows no end-a game of ancient vengeance between the powers who seeded the galaxy with life, and the Forerunners who expect to inherit their sacred Mantle of Responsibility to all living things. In the company of a young girl and an old man, Chakas begins an epic journey across a lost and damaged Halo ringworld in search of a way home, an explanation for the warrior spirits rising up within, and the reason for the Forerunner Librarian's tampering with human destiny. Their travels will take them into the domain of a powerful and monstrous intelligence-known as "the Captive" by Forerunners, and "the Primordial" by ancient human warriors, this being may not only control the fate of Chakas, Riser, and the rest of humanity, but of all sentient life across the galaxy...

Summer Official
Saylor Ford and Heaven Goo-Campbell could not be more different. Saylor is bubbly, popular, athletic, and always coupled up. Meanwhile, Heaven is grumpy and artistic, prefers her skateboard to people, and is perpetually single. So obviously, sparks fly when they must spend the entire summer together. When Saylor, distracted by her mum’s viral video about Saylor’s coming out, breaks her arm at basketball camp, she becomes determined not to spend the summer stuck at home with the social media star. Her best escape is the girl she’s pretty sure can’t stand her but whom she finds absolutely irresistible, Heaven. Thankfully, Heaven is willing to let Saylor in on her summer plans, but for a price. Saylor has to help Heaven establish her social media presence, showcasing her art for her future career as a tattoo artist.

But do the girls have a future together if Saylor is wary of bringing a relationship out into the open - too afraid that her mom’s influencer status will attract more attention than Saylor and timid Heaven can handle?
1996
'Tony Adams calls it a “celebration of recovery.” It’s a monument to candour too. Gruesome memories come with smiles… The fresh detail in his new autobiography, 1996, adds layers that are both harrowing and redemptive as he goes about the work of helping others.' PAUL HAYWARD, The ObserverIt was the summer of Euro 96 and England was in party mood as the nation hosted a major tournament, revelling in watching Gazza and Co reach the semi-finals. For the national team's captain Tony Adams, though, it masked a misery that had been building all year, with his wife leaving and his children being removed from him as a result of his dangerous and damaging drinking. Following Gareth Southgate's crushing penalty miss against Germany, Adams proceeded to embark on a 44-day bender to drown sorrows that learned how to swim and led him into some seamy, sordid situations. Finally, he could take no more and desperation drove him to quit the booze and get help. A year that had begun in dark despair would end in a new lightness of being. In 1996, Adams revisits in candid, graphic detail that year when football came home but England's thirty years of hurt continued. And, as he reaches his 60th birthday, he reflects with trademark honesty and accumulated wisdom on his own remarkable thirty years off hurt.

Hét halálos tövis - Éldekorált kiadás
Aragoa elátkozott királyságában a mágikus képességek büntetése halál.
Ez alól még az elit számára fenntartott Vandenberghe Akadémia tanulói sem kivételek. Amikor Viola Sinclair halálos árnymágiája lelepleződik, a királynő új küldetést ad orgyilkosának, és egy új elátkozott tetoválást: héttövisű rózsát, amelynek tövisei azt a hét napot jelölik, amely alatt végeznie kell Violával. Ha nem teszi, ő maga fog meghalni.
Az orgyilkos Roze Roquelart - királyi herceg, az akadémia beképzelt hallgatója, akit Viola mindenki másnál jobban utál. Roze-nak örvendeznie kellene, hogy végre végezhet a lánnyal, ám fontosabb neki Viola varázsereje, mint a halála. Ezért hajlandó megkímélni az életét, sőt úgy tenni, mintha eljegyezné.
Bár Viola elkerüli az azonnali halált, egyáltalán nem biztos, hogy túléli a Roze által ajánlott alkut. Együtt kell megküzdeniük az elpusztításukra törő erőkkel, feltárniuk a királyság sötét titkait, és számot vetni a köztük kialakuló, lehetetlen vonzalommal. Vajon engednek mélyről feltörő vágyaiknak, még ha ez Aragoa pusztulását és talán mindkettejük halálát is okozza?
Amber Hamilton modern, komor tündérmeséjét lehetetlen letenni.
