Earth 7
An exhilarating, wildly inventive tour de force of love, humanity and the end of the world as we know it.
Two women, one raised in near solitude in a research pod in the depths of the ocean and one a luxury-resort bartender who may or may not be a robot, fall in love, cross deserts, gaze at the stars – and try not only to hold onto one another but together, possibly, salvage some trace of planet Earth.
Heartbreaking, mind-expanding, soaring with beauty, Earth 7 is at once a love letter to the world and a portrait of its slow disappearance. It’s about love and grief, microbiology and astrophysics, robots and planet Mars, and humanity in all its greatness, absurdity and distress. Welding the deeply human to the thrillingly strange, fizzing with intelligence and profoundly moving, it is the novel we need right now, and for all times.

Emotion Regulation
This book is designed to be used by adults who are assisting children or adolescents in their homes, in schools or in other settings with identifying strategies that will help them increase their ability to regulate their emotions. The emotion regulation strategies described throughout this book have roots in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and positive psychology. CBT, DBT and positive psychology are models that show much promise in assisting students who are struggling to regulate their emotions. You will find activities throughout the book that you might want to complete with your child or adolescent. These activities could also be completed independently by children or adolescents up to the task. Blank versions of these activities are included in the appendix and online.Special note for caregivers and therapists: Please take a moment to congratulate your children. If they recognize they need help managing their emotions, they have taken the biggest step in this process- awareness. Effective emotion management can lead to more successful relationships, increase the positive feelings your children have about themselves and help your children's daily lives run more smoothly. Managing emotions is a lifelong journey that takes hard work. Remind your child or adolescent that there are times all of us feel more successful than others, and that’s okay. The most important part of this journey is to keep moving forward, trying new things, and being kind to ourselves.

The Matchbox Girl
From the multi-award-winning author - a beautiful, stunningly ambitious novel telling the story of a young girl's battle for survival and search for the truth in occupied Vienna
Adelheid Brunner does not speak. She writes and draws instead and her ambition is to own one thousand matchboxes. Her grandmother cannot make sense of this, but Adelheid will stop at nothing to achieve her dream. She makes herself invisible, hiding in cupboards with her pet rat, Franz Joseph, listening in on conversations she can't fully comprehend.
Then she meets Dr Asperger, a man who lets children play all day and who recognises the importance of matchboxes. He invites Adelheid to come and live at the Vienna paediatric clinic, where she and other children like herself will live under observation.
But the date is 1938 and the place is Vienna - a city of political instability, a place of increasing fear and violence. When the Nazis march into the city, a new world is created and difficult choices must be made.
Why are the clinic's children disappearing, and where do they go? Adelheid starts to suspect that some of Dr Asperger's games are played for the highest stakes. In order to survive, she must play a game whose rules she cannot yet understand.
The Intrigue
Handsome con artist Ulises has long charmed lonely women via letters to steal their money, but money is hard to come by in 1940s Mexico. Ulises knows his looks won't last forever, and he's desperate to get his hands on a real fortune.
He thinks he's found it when he captivates his newest correspondent, Perla, the owner of a small-town boardinghouse in picturesque Veracruz. But when he meets her, he finds something he didn't expect. The woman has a niece, Inés, who is as observant as she is desperate to escape her aunt's household.
When Inés discovers Ulises' true intentions, she wants in on the scheme. They'll convince her aunt that Ulises is a great catch, Perla will marry him, and her money will vanish. Easy, fast and clean. But Perla is not the desperate, silly spinster Ulises imagines. She harbors secrets. And although Ulises does not believe in true romance, Inés is more alluring than he bargained on. Suddenly, a simple plan may become perilously complicated.
Venture into the streets of a small town where the patina of convention and good manners conceals a cauldron of avarice and lust.

The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel.
I've spent my life kneeling to their will and to my father's. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king.
I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood.
But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my father's throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life.
Now I'm crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him bound to a future I didn't choose and a husband I barely know.
Everyone wants me to be something I'm not a queen, a spy, a sacrifice.
But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there's power in being underestimated?
And what if for the first time I reached for it?

The Rules of Dating a Younger Man - Hogyan randizzunk egy fiatalabb pasival? (Hogyan randizzunk? 4.)
Az első és legfontosabb szabály, amikor egy idősebb nőt szemelsz ki magadnak: ne ess szerelembe!
A barátaim közül én voltam az utolsó, aki még nem talált rá az „igazira”. A srácok folyton unszoltak, hogy igyekezzek, és állapodjak meg végre, én azonban nem siettem sehová. Egészen addig, amíg meg nem ismerkedtem valakivel, aki után megérte loholni. Alex egyike volt azoknak az önkénteseknek, akik a Ryan Házaknál dolgoztak – egy alapítványnál, amit azért hoztam létre, hogy a kórházak közelében szállásokat építhessünk a rászorulóknak.
Nem is sejtettem, hogy Alex ugyanaz az ember, akivel a projekt útnak indítása előtt haragos e-mail-váltásba bonyolódtam, akkor ugyanis még azt hittem, hogy egy férfival van dolgom.
Nem is állhattam volna távolabb az igazságtól, hiszen Alex egy szőke bombázó, aki abban a pillanatban levett a lábamról, amint megpillantottam. A köztünk szikrázó kémia mindent felemésztő volt, Alex pedig egykettőre rabul ejtette a szívem. Sajnálatos módon a fejébe vette, hogy túl fiatal vagyok hozzá. Gyűlöltem, hogy erre hivatkozott, mivel a kor csak egy szám. Ha ez nem lett volna elég, a tekintete nem éppen ugyanazt tükrözte, mint a szavak, amik elhagyták a száját – úgy nézett rám, mint akinek nagyon is tetszik, amit lát. Tűkön ülve vártam a hétvégéket, amikor Alex és én napközben vállt vállnak vetve dolgoztunk, esténként pedig bensőséges hangulatban telepedtünk le a vacsoraasztalhoz.
Végül a maga köré húzott falakon lassan megjelentek az első repedések. Csakhogy aztán az élet olyan váratlan akadályt gördített elénk, amin még én magam is kételkedtem, hogy képesek leszünk felülkerekedni. Ha egy pillanatig is az hittem, hogy a köztünk lévő korkülönbség fogja a legnagyobb gubancot okozni, hát tévedtem.
„Letehetetlen. A könyv minden pillanatát imádtam!” – Karie, amazon.com
Engedd, hogy a kémia döntsön helyetted!
Szereted az érzéki, de tartalmas könyveket? Vidd haza nyugodtan, tetszeni fog!
Fiatal nőknek, felső korhatár nélkül!

The Gift of Empathy
What is empathy? Can it be depleted? Can you empathize with those who've hurt you? Do you grapple with an excess of empathy that leaves you drained? Why is it often hardest to muster empathy for those we love? These questions might be what led you to pick up this book. Empathy is that profound moment when we step into someone else's shoes, perceive the world through their eyes, and genuinely understand their emotions. It's the bridge connecting us and the compass guiding us toward deeper connections. Yet, despite knowing empathy's value, there are times when it seems just beyond our reach. One of the most perplexing aspects of empathy is how we extend it to those who've harmed us. How do we show understanding to those who've caused us pain or mistreated us? Is empathy inherent, or can it be developed through training? These questions test our emotional boundaries, and in this book, we address them directly. Within these pages, we explore the complexities of coping with unempathetic parents, emotionally unavailable partners, and challenging work relationships. You'll gain practical tools for extending empathy and navigating the dynamics of family and groups. You'll also learn to balance empathy with self-respect, establish boundaries, and tend to your emotional needs. If you've ever struggled with empathy-feeling like you have either too much or too little-then this book is for you. It is as a guide to mend broken relationships, nurture deeper connections, and enhance self-love. Ultimately, you may come to view empathy not as something that drains you, but as a priceless gift that multiplies when shared.
