The Witch
In a small, sleepy town, a mediocre witch, in a mediocre marriage, tries to pass on her gifts to her twin daughters, who, it becomes immediately apparent, have skills far beyond her own. 'NDiaye at her most dazzling' Katie Kitamura'This is NDiaye at her disquieting best' New York MagazineLucie comes from a long line of witches, powers passed down from mother to daughter. Her own mum was formidable in her powers, but ashamed of her magic. Perhaps as a result, Lucie's own gift is weak: she can see into the future, sometimes - but more often, she can only see the present of some other location. Not very useful. And the worst part? All she can ever see are insignificant details - a scrap of outfit, the colour of the sky. Lucie's own children are initiated into their family's peculiar womanhood when they reach twelve years of age, and in a few short months, Maud and Lise are crying the curious tears of blood that denote their magical powers. Having learned, they take off quickly and fly the nest. Literally. Witty, dreamlike, vaguely unsettling, and utterly enchanting (pun intended), The Witch brings the mysteries of womanhood and motherhood into sharp relief and leaves us teetering on the edge, unbalanced by questions as seemingly unbreakable relationships break down left and right. Who is to blame for family failures? And how can you - can you? - build a nest that no one wants to fly?

The Last Piece of His Heart - Lost Boys Books 3
From USA Today bestselling author Emma Scott comes the third book in an emotional series of interconnected, coming of age YA romances.
At Santa Cruz Central High School, they called them the misfits, the outcasts, the weirdos. But most of us knew them as the Lost Boys...
Ronan Wentz has been to hell and back, and he carries the scars to prove it. Worse, the blood of a monster runs through his veins. When his uncle gives him a roof over his head after ten years in foster care, Ronan uses this second chance to become a vigilante, walking the streets of Santa Cruz to keep the nightmares at bay. If he can use his anger to protect instead of hurt, maybe he'll find the absolution he seeks.
Then he meets Shiloh.
Shiloh Barrera looks like she has it all together. Smart, ambitious, and full of creativity she channels into making one-of-a-kind jewellery. But Shiloh's demons drive her to succeed as much as her ambition - to prove her worth to the mother who can't stand to look at her.
Shiloh and Ronan's attraction is instant and scorching. Falling in love is an impossible pipe dream saved for those less damaged, but as hard as they try to resist, the feelings between them seem inevitable…until one terrible night destroys Shiloh's dreams and Ronan's future.
When the smoke clears and the rubble settles, they'll have to choose: do their pasts determine their future, or can they build a new one from the broken pieces of their hearts?
The third and final chapter in Emma Scott's Lost Boys series is a slow-burn, high-stakes YA romance that offers a dramatic and satisfying conclusion to this special series of interconnected stories.

In Botanical Time
How do some plants live for thousands of years? Which adaptations and evolutionary strategies allow them to thrive in some of the harshest places on the planet for so long—and so well? Renowned plantsman, author, and longtime botanical garden designer Christopher Woods takes readers on a popular science exploration of twenty-three of the world’s most amazing species, seeking answers to these questions by explaining their incredible survival mechanisms. Woods emphasizes how human cultures have interacted with plants over time and what we may, critically, be able to learn from them about sustainability in extreme climates. Some species will be familiar to readers, while some are outright surprising—such as the aptly named Welwitschia mirabilis, which lives happily in the Namib Desert for up to two thousand years, although many of those years receive zero precipitation. With over two hundred color images and lively, accessible text, In Botanical Time highlights fascinating facts about each charismatic plant, encouraging conservation for these species and leading us toward larger lessons about the rapidity with which humans have caused—and are causing—species to adapt. "Woods' compassion for these trees, shrubs, and herbaceous wonders shines on every page."—AHS American Gardener Magazine

Viditeľne pod kožou
Rozmýšľali ste niekedy nad tým, ako pokračujú ženské romány po tom, keď sa Ona a On konečne dajú dokopy?
Žijú spolu šťastne až … do chvíle, keď to aspoň jednému z nich prestane dávať zmysel.
Keby bola láska na celý život výhra, stačilo by ju rozumne využiť. Takto to bude skôr víťazstvo, v ktorom cieľová rovinka zároveň znamená koniec.
Kamila je žena v najlepšom veku. Má všetko, čo by si jeden nešťastník mohol priať, no jej túžby si nedajú pokoja. Hlásia sa o slovo, a jej pragmatického manžela tak pravidelne privádzajú do zúfalstva. Kamila však nepozná správne riešenia a, čo je horšie, nevie sa ani rozhodovať. Niečo ju neustále dráždi a núti ju hľadať odpovede tam, kde sa už nedajú prepísať.
Alebo dajú?
Príbeh príliš obyčajný na to, aby sme ho nepoznali, a pritom celkom jedinečný na to, aby sme ho mohli prežiť dvakrát.
Druhá kniha z pera blogerky, ktorú realita neprestáva fascinovať. Ako bonus kvalitná dávka humoru a irónie, s ktorými to má tú správnu životnú príchuť.
Čas vrahů
Dvacáté století bylo epochou technického pokroku, kulturního rozkvětu a nebývalých vědeckých objevů, které posunuly lidstvo z věku páry do éry dobývání vesmíru, jaderné energie a globální konektivity. Člověk se během něj z velké části osvobodil od nemocí a hladu – a přesto to bylo i století, v němž se tím nejdestruktivnějším způsobem projevily temné stránky lidské povahy. Nikdy předtím nezískala ideologie takovou moc nad jednotlivcem, nikdy předtím nebyly miliony lidí s tak strojovou systematičností vyvražďovány v koncentračních táborech, gulazích a na bojištích po celém světě.
Tento paradox – že století osvícení a humanity přineslo zároveň genocidu a masové vyhlazování – zůstává jedním z nejbolestnějších rysů moderní historie. Ale dějiny nejsou jen souborem dat a faktů. Jsou to i příběhy lidí, kteří žili, rozhodovali se a nesli důsledky svých činů. Některé kontext doby dovedl k hrdinství, jiným umožnil naplno projevit jejich zvrácenost.
Tato kniha je pokusem o anatomii nejen zla, ale i naděje. Snaží se porozumět těm, kteří se stali nástroji totalitních zločinů, i těm, kteří se jim vzepřeli. Nejde o knihu o vůdcích, ideologiích či politických systémech, ale o obyčejných lidech – třeba o těch, kteří zavírali dveře plynových komor, podepisovali rozsudky smrti, stříleli vězně do týla – a večer se vraceli ke svým rodinám. A také o těch, kteří riskovali vše, aby zachránili druhé, o těch, kteří odmítli jen přihlížet a mlčet a dokázali neztratit svou lidskost v nelidské době.
Pochopit psychologii a motivace těchto lidí – jedněch i druhých – znamená pochopit nejen mechanismy zla, ale i prameny tiché odvahy, empatie a soucitu, které ani zlo nedokázalo uhasit. Možná právě v této tenké hranici mezi temnotou a světlem se skrývá pravé poznání o člověku – i o nás samotných.
Zajatci úzkosti
Cítíte se neustále napjatí, přetížení a nedaří se vám „vypnout“? Možná jste si – zcela nevědomky – vypěstovali návyk na úzkost. Právě tento vzorec vás může připravovat o klid, spánek i radost ze života.
Zkušený psychoterapeut v této knize ukazuje, že boj s úzkostí nemusí být nikdy nekončící. Vysvětluje, jak úzkost funguje jako návykový cyklus, a krok za krokem provází cestou, jak jej účinně přerušit. Místo rychlých slibů či složitých odborných termínů nabízí srozumitelný a lidský pohled na to, co se ve vás odehrává, a praktické postupy, díky nimž můžete znovu převzít kontrolu nad svými myšlenkami i emocemi.
Tato kniha není jen o zvládání úzkosti. Je o osvobození se z jejího sevření a o tom, jak se znovu nadechnout a začít žít naplno.

What to Make of a Life
THE QUESTION
What to make of a life?
It is a question we all wrestle with more than once. How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs, significant events that can radically change a life? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late?
Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analysing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog.
THE STUDY
His exploration compares various lives side by side, paired together at cliffs, and analyses the different choices made and divergent paths taken.
• Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success.
• Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and then left with the puzzle of what to do next.
• Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives.
• Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end.
What emerges from Collins's extensive studies - of writers, actors, scientists, leaders, and many others - is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained, and constantly renewed.
THE FINDINGS
By examining the long arc of these remarkable lives, Collins tackles life's questions. What does it take to:
• Discover a deeply fulfilling role in life - one that you are naturally 'encoded' for - and then find a second one, if the first one ends?
• Overcome a major cliff - a fracture point that forces choices about what's next and calls for you to reenvision the years to come?
• Make your personal economics work so that you can focus on One Big Thing that feeds your inner fire?
• Navigate the fog when you feel uncertain or even outright lost, and build confidence step by step
• Minimise the impact of bad luck and ensure the maximum return on good luck?
• Build personal momentum decade upon decade, so that your most creative and energetic years are spread across an entire lifetime?
• Achieve the imperative to 'Know Thyself' and apply self-knowledge to each phase of life?
THE TRANSFORMATION
For the first time, Collins movingly chronicles his own story to reveal how undertaking this project transformed him, changing his thinking and reshaping his emotions in fundamental ways. 'After this study,' writes Collins, 'I will never look at life the same ever again.'
Nepřítel mého nepřítele
Utekla jsem ve svatebních šatech s kulkou v paži, abych se dobrovolně vrhla do chřtánu Collinsových. Rodiny, která tu moji k smrti nenáviděla. A přesto byli jediní, kdo mě mohl zachránit. Emmett Collins byl nepřítel, ale já mu i tak dala všechno. Jinak to nešlo. Museli jsme si vzájemně důvěřovat. Najít kompromis. A ten byl v našem případě někde mezi vraždou a postelí. Sama jsem mu nakonec dala klíče… od mého těla, mé duše i srdce.
Cancer, Sex, and Intimacy
A practical and compassionate guide to navigating sexual intimacy during and after cancer. Cancer changes lives—but it doesn't erase the need for intimacy, connection, or sexual expression. In this essential guide, certified sexuality counselor Anne Katz, PhD, RN, offers a compassionate, candid, and evidence-based guide for individuals and couples navigating the often-overlooked sexual challenges brought on by cancer and its treatment. Dr. Katz addresses the full scope of situations survivors may face, including an altered body image, loss of desire, physical pain, emotional distance, relationship strain, and more. Although these changes are common, they are rarely discussed openly—and survivors are often left to figure things out alone, or not at all. Through the stories of couples she's worked with, Dr. Katz shows that while the path back to sexual intimacy may be complex, it is deeply worthwhile. With equal attention to anatomy and emotion, this book empowers readers to understand how cancer treatments impact sexual function, identity, and mental health—and how to reclaim pleasure and closeness at any stage of survivorship. Clear explanations, practical tools—including mindfulness and sensate focus exercises—and thoughtful commentary make this guide both personal and informative. Cancer, Sex, and Intimacy fills a critical gap in survivorship care and reminds readers that sexuality is not a luxury, but a fundamental part of quality of life.

Unbound
It's time this love broke free . . .
Paloma Blake is, at best, antagonistic. But beneath the hairspray, attitude, and promiscuity is a scared girl whose trauma runs deep. Still, the walls she's built are strong, ensuring everyone only sees Paloma's sexy façade. Everyone except for Bennett.
Bennett Reiner, the carefully controlled, neurodivergent goalie, has his routines and sticks to them, which helps him keep a hold on his OCD compulsions and the crippling anxiety that comes with them. The quiet and meticulous Bennett sees everything, especially the girl beneath Paloma's ever-present masks. And he always has.
Unbeknownst to their friends, Bennett and Paloma were each other's first real love, which ended in crippling heartbreak. Bennett still doesn't know what happened, and Paloma is determined to stay away from the comfort she used to find only in his arms. For years, Bennett has remained her protective shadow, coming to Paloma's rescue whenever she asked, keeping her as close and safe as she'll let him. But, like a tumultuous sea to a constant shore, Bennett and Paloma find each other once more.
As Bennett discovers the truth about Paloma's past, the threads to his careful control start to come unbound, and both begin to realize that letting go of everything else might be worth it, if it means they both get the real love they once shared again . . .
The perfect combination of angst, romance and spice, and full of intensity and emotion, this second-chance ice hockey romance features two characters who can't seem to let go of their first love.

Rosabelle Wolff had a plan. Now she wants revenge. To save her sister she needs to get back home and destroy the system that created her.

And there's only one person to blame.
James Anderson had a plan. Now he has nothing but problems. Rosabelle might be the ally they need in a fight against The Reestablishment, but no one wants to trust an enemy assassin.
