Kamizen: Fortress of Lost Memories
Enter a secret wonderland in the sky where Japanese legends come to life.
Twelve-year-old Jonty desperately wants an adventure but he knows it's unlikely when he's stuck at home for the entire summer. But then he meets a talking bonobo in the forest at the back of his house who invites him to enter a magical world behind a Japanese Memory gate. There, he will get to collect wild memories from the time his gramps was a famous primatologist ... and soon, his adventure begins.
Behind the gate lies a world far more enchanting than back home. In a world filled with mischievous Japanese beings called yokai, Jonty must battle to collect the memories in a series of hair-raising trials. But there is an evil sky pirate crew on board a ship who are hellbent on destroying the memories for good ... and they have bows and arrows.
Can Jonty battle the pirate crew before time runs out and the wadokei watch-clock strikes?

Ako zniesť zo sveta upíra
Napínavý triler z deväťdesiatych rokov, plný záhad a južanského šarmu, v ktorom sa realita prelína s nadprirodzenom.
Patricia Campbellová mala pred sebou sľubnú budúcnosť, no odkedy sa vzdala kariéry zdravotnej sestry a stala sa matkou, život sa jej nikdy nezdal fádnejší. Dni sú dlhé, deti sú nevďačné, manžel je odmeraný a zoznam povinností nekonečný. Jej jedinou oázou šťastia je čitateľský klub, ktorý tvoria ženy zdieľajúce rovnakú vášeň pre skutočné zločiny a napínavé romány. Na svojich stretnutiach pritom diskutujú skôr o federálnom obliehaní vo Waco, než o manželských krízach a materstve.
Jedného dňa sa do susedstva prisťahuje príťažlivý a umelecky nadaný James Harris, ktorý zaujme členky knižného klubu – a okúzli aj samotnú Patriciu. Prežíva pri ňom veci, ktoré už roky nezažila, no je na ňom čosi zvláštne. Keď začnú miznúť miestne deti a polícia je bezradná, Patricia nadobudne znepokojivé podozrenie. Pustí sa do vyšetrovania na vlastnú päsť, presvedčená, že ide o ďalšieho Jeffreyho Dahmera či Teda Bundyho. Lenže to, čo odhalí, je oveľa desivejšie. Čoskoro sa ukáže, že ona a jej priateľky z knižného klubu sú jedinou prekážkou medzi nič netušiacou komunitou, a monštrom, ktoré vpustili do svojich domovov.

Aznap éjjel, amikor Kelet Hercege lerombolta a faluját, Raina Bloodgood élete örökre megváltozott. Valaki más háborújába és a Boszorkányszedő, Alexus Thibault karjaiba sodródott, majd rájött, hogy minden, amiben hitt, hamis, és hogy sokkal többre képes, mint bárki képzelte volna.
Kelet Hercege most bábuként használja a Fagykirályt a Nyárföld elleni háborújában, amivel veszélybe sodorja Alexus életét. Hogy megakadályozzák a herceg végső tervét és azt, hogy Tiressia birodalma visszatérjen az istenek korába, Raina, Alexus és egy csapat északi versenyt fut az idővel, hogy a rejtelmes sivatagba jussanak, ahol minden sarkon kegyetlen gyilkosok lesnek rájuk.
A tragédiák forgatagában Raina és Alexus azért küzdenek, hogy együtt életben maradjanak, miközben egy alattomos jelenés egészen Romvárosig, Nyárföld királynője fellegvárának ékköves kapujáig követi őket. A félelmetes események közepette Raina nem tudja kiűzni álmaiból azt a múltbéli borzalmat, amelyre nem lenne szabad emlékeznie.
A múlt, amely óhatatlanul utoléri őt – bármi áron.
I Shouldn't Be Telling You This
A NATIONAL BESTSELLER“I could not put this book down. It’s so funny” –Ru Paul“I LOVE this book for its honesty and dark (and light!) comedy” –Rachel Dratch (Instagram)"It’s f*cking great!!! Raw, intimate, hilarious, actually inspiring.” –Jon StewartA RECOMMENDED READ FROM: NPR * PUREWOW * USWEEKLY * PEOPLE * BUSTLE * SHEREADS * NYLON * BOOKRIOT * AND MOREThe dynamic memoir-in-essays by comedian, screenwriter, and podcaster Chelsea Devantez, detailing her tumultuous upbringing and uproarious career path into Hollywood. There are things Chelsea Devantez probably shouldn’t be telling you. Many of them are in this book: some are embarrassing (like when she tried to break her three year spell of celibacy using a guide of seduction tips). Some are confessional (getting sentenced to the “hell hill” at Mormon church camp). Some are TMI (a series of outrageous doctor visits that ended with one doctor misdiagnosing her as “pregnant.” Woopsies!). Then there are things Chelsea really shouldn’t be telling you: like the time her biggest family secret was publicly outed, or about the drive-by shootings and the precipitating domestic violence she survived. Yet through it all, it’s the women in Chelsea’s life who kept her going – from the lowest points of her childhood when she and her mom had only $100 left to their name, all the way to her career highs as the Emmy-nominated Head Writer for The Problem with Jon Stewart and sensational podcaster deemed “the celebrity memoir whisperer” by her fans. In I Shouldn't Be Telling You This, Chelsea centers each story around a different woman who shaped her life, taking us on a tour of friends and strangers, fictional characters and celebrities, heroes and villains who will destroy any Netflix algorithm for a “strong female lead.” Reading it will feel kinda like that moment at a party when your friend beckons you close, sloshes her martini around, and covertly whispers, “I really shouldn’t say this, but…”

The Illegals
In 2010, two decades after the Cold War had ended, ten Russian spies were arrested in America, having hidden their true identities from their friends, neighbours and even their children.

Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews, and newly-discovered archival material, The Illegals is a page-turning tour de force, that shines new light on the long arc of the Soviet experiment and its messy aftermath - and on how that hidden history shaped Russia and the West.

A Long Dark Night
"A tense and atmospheric thriller that is just as much a tale of survival as it is one of love and devotion.”—Kimi Cunningham Grant, USA Today bestselling author of The Nature of DisappearingA young chef returns home to find her small town caught in the snare of an oil company. Her brother witnesses a chilling crime at the drilling site, and their attempts to bring justice are met with fierce opposition in this engrossing thriller. After her restaurant closes and she returns to her childhood home, deep in the Alaskan wilderness, Nina has one goal: finding a way back out. Her family’s sled-dog business is struggling, and she is alarmed that her brother Grant is working at the nearby oil field. Grant comes home one day extremely unsettled by his involvement in disturbing events at work. The supervisor on duty orchestrated a suspiciously seamless coverup of a deadly accident, leading both siblings to wonder if the past disappearances of field workers are more than a coincidence. Grant wants to forget the whole thing ever happened—the oil rig is the only source of employment that pays enough to keep their family afloat, and he doesn’t want to risk any jail time. But Nina can’t let this lie. The opportunity to uncover the truth about the disappearances and protect her family from increasing threats is too important. What starts as an attempt to unravel the mystery leads Nina, Grant, and their loved ones directly into the path of those determined to keep them silent no matter the cost. Lilli Sutton returns with another atmospheric and captivating thriller in A Long Dark Night. Her debut novel, Running Out of Air, was called “an adventure worth taking,” “packed full of tension [and] heart.” Prepare to be left breathless again.
