Love From the Cosmos
Beautiful, smart, and determined Moyo Adegbite has it all...almost. As a Boston-based Pediatrician, she’s made her parents back in Lagos proud. Now, she’s ready for true love. To avoid dating all the duds in Boston, Moyo’s research led her to devise a foolproof plan: Join Cupid's Bow, the popular astrology dating app that uses birth charts to match soulmates with a 99 percent success rate. And the app works…until it doesn’t. After discovering the infidelity of a Cupid’s Bow match, Moyo goes on a booze-fueled rant against the app’s creators, filing an irate complaint slamming the planet responsible for her love life—the god, Saturn. Niyi Bankole was reluctantly named Saturn, and now he’s saddled with a position at Cupid’s Bow, the family business, as one of three matchmakers. But Niyi quickly learns he’s unequipped to be a god. Leaning into his science background to hide his incompetence, Niyi writes an algorithm that seems to work for clients...until Moyo’s complaint triggers damage control. Now, Moyo is contracted to receive a dating coach to walk her through three Cupid’s Bow–assigned dates. Eager to clean up his mess and (secretly) fine-tune his algorithm, Niyi offers to be Moyo’s dating coach. As they work together, will Moyo find love through the algorithm, as she and Niyi planned, or will she get swept up in one of Saturn’s rings?
Ancient Fantasies and Modern Power
Chicago's Columbian Exposition of 1893 celebrated the quadricentennial of Columbus's 'discovery” of the Americas by creating a fantastical white city composed of Roman triumphal arches and domes, Corinthian colonnades, and Egyptian obelisks. World's fairs were among the most important cultural, socio-economic, and political phenomena of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: millions visited hoping to understand the modernity and progress of these cities and the nascent superpower of the United States. But what they found was often a representation of the past. From 1893 to 1915, ancient Greco-Roman and Egyptian architecture was deployed to create immersive environments at Chicago, Nashville, Omaha, St. Louis, and San Francisco. The seemingly endless adaptations of ancient architecture at these five fairs demonstrated that ancient architecture can symbolize and transmit the complex-and often paradoxical or contradictory-ideas that defined the United States at the turn of the twentieth century and still endure today.

Perlička na dně
Prostí lidé, na první pohled nijak zajímaví, vyprávějí své zážitky, přehánějí, improvizují, baví se vymýšlením a vzpomínáním, prostě „pábí“. Hovorovým jazykem se spoustou slangových výrazů zachycuje autor život z často „odvrácené strany“ a v lidech z takzvaného společenského dna nachází onu pověstnou „perličku na dně“ a proniká tak k pravému, i když v hrubé skořápce ukrytému jádru lidí. Svěžím a objevným vyprávěním dokáže Hrabal přenést vzrušení z nevyčerpatelnosti a krásy života i na čtenáře.

Pohled z kabiny
Co všechno zažije člověk, který tráví život mezi dálničními kilometry, parkovišti a nekonečným tichem kabiny kamionu?
Kniha o životě na cestě – ale taky o hledání smyslu, pravdy a vlastního směru. Autor vás bez příkras zve přímo k sobě do kabiny. Mezi kávou z benzínky, nočními přejezdy hranic a únavou, která se nedá obejít, vznikají texty o lásce, samotě, víře, pádech i znovunalezené síle.
Nejde o klasické vyprávění. Kniha kombinuje osobní zpověď, krátké příběhy, poetické texty i provokativní úvahy o světě, systému, manipulaci a svobodě člověka. Místy vás rozesměje, jinde znejistí, někde vás možná i vytočí – ale nenechá vás chladnými. Autor otevřeně přiznává, kde končí realita a kde začíná fantazie. A právě tam vzniká prostor k zamyšlení.
Pohled z kabiny je kniha pro ty, kteří mají pocit, že se svět zrychlil až příliš. Pro ty, kdo se nebojí jiného pohledu. A pro všechny, kteří cítí, že život není jen o cíli – ale o cestě.
Protože kormidlo svého života držíš v rukou jen ty sám.

The Little Prince
Meet the original Boy Who Fell to Earth. Stranded in the Sahara Desert, an aircraft pilot meets a strange little boy who tells him of his journey from another world.
The Little Prince, by the French writer, illustrator, and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, was written and published during the Second World War, to immediate acclaim, and its classic status has been embraced ever since. Whether as a children's fairy tale or an existentialist fable, religious parable or political allegory, the "secret treasure" of its complex simplicity has only unfolded further truths over the years, like the petals of the precious flower of friendship it celebrates.
Vividly realized here, for yet another new generation, by the award-winning graphic novelist Joann Sfar, this stunning adaptation celebrates the 80th anniversary of its French edition, and confirms its wisdom of ages: that life (and love) can be hard; that "grown-ups are very strange"; and that our precious planet is intrinsic with our universal Nature.
De Saint-Exupéry's aircraft disappeared in the wartime skies over the Mediterranean in July 1944, and his death has remained a mystery ever since. "The only reason to speak in riddles," he wrote, in his prophetic masterpiece, "is to solve them."

The Bewitching
'Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches': that was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva - stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales.
In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay's most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch.
Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved.
