Tíha skrytých slov
Uběhly tři měsíce od osudného večera na podlaze v koupelně – od chvíle, kdy Lily našla svou starší sestru s žiletkou u zápěstí. Od té doby se Lily, kvůli sobě i své rodině, zoufale snaží navázat na svůj předchozí život spořádané studentky, dcery i sestry. Jenže po Alicině návratu domů z léčení začínají Lily pozvolna přemáhat všechny dlouho potlačované pocity.
Na Ridgelinskou střední školu přichází Micah, nový student s nelehkou minulostí. Absolvoval pobyt v léčebně spolu s Alicí a nyní se zdá odhodlaný pomoct Lily vypořádat se nejen s Alicinou zkušeností, ale také s její vlastní. I Lily má totiž svá tajemství. Kompulzivní záchvaty, kterých se sama nedokáže zbavit, a hlavu zahlcenou tíživými myšlenkami.
Když se Lily s Micahem pustí do školního projektu a společně hledají umělecké náměty i na těch nejneobvyklejších místech, uvědomí si, že v sobě dlouho dusila slova, která se teď derou na povrch.

Svět zázraků je od toho našeho vzdálený jen na jedno mrknutí oka. Jedenáctiletá Ajka o tom ví své. V jejím okolí se to hemží kouzelnými tvory, mluvícími zvířaty a rozvernými skřítky a vůbec jí nevadí, že je vidí jen ona. Ne každý tvor z jiného světa je ale přátelský. Když Ajka ze zvědavosti vstoupí do opuštěného domu, probudí sílu, která měla zůstat ukrytá. A jestli rychle nenajde způsob, jak ji zastavit, na její lehkovážnost nedoplatí jen ona.
Čas se krátí.

A Thousand Painted Hours
An epic, emotionally charged novel about love, art, and survival spanning 1900s colonial India to Blitz-era London by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids. In the shadow of the London Blitz, artist Elsie Turner clings fiercely to her canvases, refusing to let war dim the colors that define her. The bombs test her nerve, but the struggle also stirs memories of her golden youth in India and of the long-lost love of her life. The daughter of a British civil servant in the Himalayan station of Nainital, Elsie crosses cultural divides to forge an unlikely bond with Tanveer Singh, a Sikh prince with hopes, dreams, and far-reaching ideas. What begins as shared sketchbooks and stargazing becomes first love and a secret correspondence. When Elsie’s father is summoned to England, Elsie is severed from the world she knows—and is determined to preserve it through both her art and a connection with Tanveer that endures through the most tumultuous years of their lives. Across four decades and two continents, Elsie navigates a journey from lush colonial India to war-torn London, amid landscapes of beauty, protest, and peril. As past and present collide, the most impossible choices and sacrifices are yet to be made in the name of love, war, and survival. © 2026 by Barbara Samuel, all rights reserved.
Revolutionary Subjects
A literary history spanning borders and centuries to explore radicalization as portrayed in fictionTracing the evolution of socialist world literature from the nineteenth century to the present, Benjamin Kohlmann uncovers the formal repertoires through which a set of political ideals found aesthetic expression. At the heart of this study is the radical bildungsroman, a genre that subverts dominant narratives of individual formation. Broad in scope, Revolutionary Subjects explores the work of Balestrini, Chernyshevsky, Ding Ling, Lessing, Nizan, Sartre, Weiss, Wright, and many others. These novels challenge conventional ideas of selfhood and belonging, presenting new ways to imagine the self in relation to collective struggle and global solidarity.
Fed Up
'Wise, witty, and full of unexpected insights - a perfect book for anyone who cares about living well' Bill Bryson
Why is it so hard to decide what to eat? We are bombarded with conflicting advice on weight and health, fad diets and food pyramids. No wonder so many of us feel confused and guilty.
In Fed Up, Daniel Lieberman tackles this confusion head on with his trademark blend of lively storytelling and myth-busting science. Drawing on evolutionary biology, anthropology and physiology, he explains how humans first evolved to eat; how fire, farming and industrialization transformed our diets; and what that history combined with rigorous medical science can - and cannot - tell us about what to eat today to stay healthy and manage our weight. In each chapter, Lieberman explores what different diets - from Paleo to veganism to intermittent fasting - tell us about nutrition and health, even putting these diets to the test himself. His conclusion is liberating: there is no optimal diet. What matters instead is variety, moderation and finding out what works for you.
Clear-eyed, humane and always entertaining, Fed Up gives us the tools to make wiser, kinder choices about what we eat.

Star Wars: Cloak Of Deception
From New York Times bestselling author James Luceno comes a Star Wars adventure that reveals the action and intrigue unfolding directly before Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
Mired in greed and corruption, tangled in bureaucracy, the Galactic Republic is crumbling. In the outlying systems, where the Trade Federation maintains a stranglehold on shipping routes, tensions are boiling over?while back in the comfort of Coruscant, the hub of civilized space and seat of the Republic government, few senators seem inclined to investigate the problem. And those who suspect Supreme Chancellor Valorum of having a hand in the machinations are baffled?especially when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi foil an assassination attempt on the Chancellor.
With the crisis escalating, Valorum calls for an emergency trade summit. As humans and aliens gather, conspiracies sealed with large sums of money run rampant, and no one is entirely above suspicion. But the greatest threat of all remains unknown to everyone except three members of the Trade Federation who have entered into a shadowy alliance with a dark overlord. While the trio will be content with more money and fewer problems, Darth Sidious has grander, far more terrifying plans.
It is a time that tests the mettle of all those who strive to hold the Republic together?none more so than the Jedi Knights, who have long been the galaxy's best hope for preserving peace and justice. Yet despite their most valiant efforts, the meeting will explode into fiery chaos beyond everyone's worst fears . . .
Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil
The war that erupted in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones is nearing its boiling point, as the dauntless Separatist forces continue their assault on the teetering Republic – and the diabolical triumvirate of Count Dooku, General Grievous, and their Master, Darth Sidious, fine-tune their strategy for conquest. In Episode III Revenge of the Sith the fates of key players on both sides of the conflict will be sealed. But first, crucial events that pave the way to that time of reckoning unfold in a labyrinth of evil...
Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy–and Separatist Councilmember – Nute Gunray is the mission that brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with a squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia. But the treacherous ally of the Sith proves as slippery as ever, evading his Jedi pursuers even as they narrowly avoid deadly disaster. Still, their daring efforts yield an unexpected prize: a unique holotransceiver that bears intelligence capable of leading the Republic forces to their ultimate quarry, the ever-elusive Darth Sidious.
Swiftly taking up the chase, Anakin and Obi-Wan follow clues from the droid factories of Charros IV to the far-flung worlds of the Outer Rim... every step bringing them closer to pinpointing the location of the Sith Lord–whom they suspect has been manipulating every aspect of the Separatist rebellion. Yet somehow, in the escalating galaxy-wide chess game of strikes, counterstrikes, ambushes, sabotage, and retaliations, Sidious stays constantly one move ahead.
Then the trail takes a shocking turn. For Sidious and his minions have set in motion a ruthlessly orchestrated campaign to divide and overwhelm the Jedi forces – and bring the Republic to its knees.

Until a monster hunter turns up and kills a fellow manananggal anyway.
Until Caleb is marked as the hunter's next prey.
Suddenly, he and Lily realize there's always been more at stake than the lives of their people. Because when doing everything "right" is still a death sentence, what can they take as truth? As the hunter nears, the siblings must decide if they'll be driven from the only home they've ever known . . . or fight to protect a community that may already be lost.
Two siblings fight to protect their secrets, their community, and most of all, each other, in this evocative novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Patron Saints of Nothing.

Even more unexpected is Luxos’s increasing fondness for his stoic knight. The knights have never seen their king grow so close to someone – in fact, the two get along so well that rumors start to fly. Is Luxos’s admiration strictly for Pollyanna’s talent, or could the gossip have some truth to it?

Zažehnutí
Můj nový soused je hasič – a neskutečně sexy svobodný táta –, ale přísahám, že jsem ten detektor kouře nespustila naschvál. (A fakt jsem se chtěla propadnout hanbou, když mi přispěchal na pomoc a spatřil mě úplně nahou.)
Nic se nestalo, samozřejmě že ne – protože já, Winnie MacAllisterová, závislačka na lásce a majitelka neustále zlomeného srdce, jsem přísahala, že se na celý rok vzdám mužů. Dokonce i ochranitelských mužů s ostře řezanými čelistmi, mohutnými bicepsy a temnýma hnědýma očima, z nichž se mi zrychluje tep. Dokonce i bývalých členů SEALs se širokými hrudníky a silnými pažemi, ze kterých mi mravenčí kůže. Dokonce i úchvatných nabručených chlápků, kteří mají plné ruce práce s výchovou dvou rozkošných dcerušek a tvrdí, že nevěří na lásku.
Byla jsem odhodlaná slib dodržet, dokud mě Dex jednou večer nepolíbil a nedonutil mě odhodit všechny zábrany. (A taky spodní prádlo.)
Říká, že není něžný, a má pravdu. Říká, že bych měla přijmout práci snů, kterou mi nabídli v jiném státě, a má pravdu. Říká, že je na mě moc starý a nemůže být takovým mužem, jakého si zasloužím.
A v tom se mýlí.
Možná nás od sebe dělí dvanáct let, ale požár, který mezi námi vzplane, nikdy nepohasne.
Jak bych ho mohla přesvědčit, aby se mnou dal šanci šťastnému konci?
Darwin and the Queer Origins of Life
A revelatory history of sex, gender, and science from Linnaeus to Darwin
What did Darwin and Linnaeus really think about sex? In print, their descriptions of animal courtship painted a comfortingly traditional picture: males were belligerent show-offs, females were choosy and skittish, and the two came together in unions curiously akin to human marriage. But in truth, the forefathers of evolutionary science were acutely aware that this was not the whole story. The reality was far more messy and ambiguous.
In this iconoclastic history, Ross Brooks shows how queerness was at the heart of evolutionists’ thinking about the natural world. From hermaphroditic slugs and sex-changing birds to male pigeon lactation, pregnant male seahorses, and bisexual pigs, Darwin and his fellow naturalists were privately in awe of nature’s sexual diversity. These encounters fundamentally shaped their understanding of plants, animals, and humans, even if they were never fully acknowledged in their published writings.
Brooks radically exposes us to the hidden queerness of Georgian and Victorian science?and shows how nature has always been more sexually diverse than we’ve been told.
Want Me, Take Me, Haunt Me, Make Me
A haunting paranormal story takes a turn for the dark and spicy in this chilling horror romance by debut author Isabel Crowley.
Hazel Lewis has a serious problem. The guy who hired her to conduct a séance before he died turned out to be a serial killer with a demonic contract, and the séance itself was a trap. Hazel escaped with her life, but not as she knew it: the bite of a demon is spreading through her body, letting the supernatural bleed into the world around her, and the now-dead serial killer is waiting to take over her body if she dies.
Hoping to contain the damage, Hazel moves to a small house in a remote location. She figures she'll stay on her own until she gets a handle on her new dark reality, but she soon finds out that she's not alone. There's the reporter demanding answers, the friendly neighbour with chemistry she doesn't need and problems he can't talk about…and the mysterious face she sees beyond her window, watching her every night with glowing red eyes.
Making her hunger.
Hazel knew a little bit about the world beyond the physical. Now she's learning how much she doesn't know, including who she can trust...and who she can become if she trusts herself enough to give in to the shadows stalking her dreams.
Haunting, dark and steeped in a supernatural atmosphere, this visceral paranormal romance is a must-read for fans of evocative horror and swoon-worthy romance.
