Tropesick
In this lush, slowburn romance, two heartsick exes unite to co-write a romance novel, and soon realise that the tropes they're writing go well beyond the page . . .
When romance-novel obsessed ghost writer Katie Caruso waits in a New York City café to meet her next writing partner, the last person in the world she expects to see is her own ex-childhood sweetheart, Tyler McNally.
Years of heartache and yearning have only strengthened the forcefield that seems to exist between them, and time has done little to heal the rift. The pair haven't seen each other since the tragic death of Katie's older brother. Tyler was her brother's best friend, and Katie - naturally - was the girl next door.
But despite both their bitter complaints at the reunion, the agent who hired them won't let them off the job.
Soon, they're working on their co-written romance novel in forced proximity, and realising that's not the only written trope that's coming to life . . .
The Last Dragon House
A spellbinding middle-grade debut about a magical boarding house for dragons and the unlikely siblings destined to save it
Siblings Olly and Jenny Atwood have never met a dragon-Olly doesn't even think they're real. But when the strange and brilliant Dr. Lady Abernathy offers Olly a job at her mysterious house, the Atwoods learn that these incredible beasts are very much alive-and they need help.
Dragons have been forced into hiding, and as caretakers of the Dragon House, Dr. Lady and Olly are the only protectors these magnificent creatures have left. But when evil forces conspire to poison Dr. Lady, Olly and his dragon friends find themselves locked in a race against time, political conspiracies…and one very large corgi.
Can Olly recover the antidote before it's too late? And can Jenny harness her stirring powers to keep Dr. Lady alive until then? Or could this be the end of the Dragon House-and dragons-as they know it?
The Last Dragon House is a showstopping novel full of fast-paced, laugh-out-loud adventure and endearingly flawed characters. It's also about how our seemingly impossible problems will ultimately be solved: Not by waiting for a Chosen One, but by banding together and sharing our unique strengths. Another word for those strengths? Magic.
Being Carlos Alcaraz
The first detailed and comprehensively researched biography of the heir apparent to the Djokovic-Nadal-Federer era.
A deeply researched biography of the new (smiley) face of tennis. A global star who has achieved more than Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer did by this stage of their careers. At just 19 years old, Carlos Alcaraz won the US Open and became the youngest ever men's world number one. At only 21, he already had four Grand Slam titles.
For Alcaraz, everything - from his charm to his star power to his tennis mojo - starts with a smile. But there is a more complex character behind the smile. One who grew up in modest circumstances in a small village in Murcia in southern Spain. A man with strong family traditions who has a tattoo of his grandfather's favorite saying - 'cabeza, corazon y cojones' (brain, heart and balls) - inked on his left wrist.
Mark Hodgkinson talks to those who know Alcaraz best - including his coaches, old teachers and competitors - to provide a fascinating insight into a showman with ambitions of becoming the GOAT, the greatest of all time.

There are dashes of humour and revelations about the human side of trading throughout.
The result is an engrossing new collection of trading wisdom, brimming with insights that can help all traders improve their trading process.
A Day in the Life of a Gladiator
In ancient Rome, a single day could decide a gladiator's fate. Follow in their footsteps with bestselling author Harry Sidebottom.
Take a seat at the feast on the eve of the games and watch as the men marked for combat enjoy their final meal.
At dawn, Roman citizens rush to the Colosseum to see the spectacles: wild-beast hunts, public executions and carefully choreographed violence - all part of a good day's entertainment.
Watch as the gladiators enter the arena - armour gleaming, shields locked, they step into the light, fighting not just for survival but for the favour of the crowd.
Gripping, immersive and grounded in ancient sources, A Day in the Life of a Gladiator illuminates the reality of Roman life and death in all its glory. This is history as it happened - not in the marble halls of emperors, but on the blood-darkened sand of the arena.

A Tisza áradása
A kötet Hann Endre ajánlásával jelenik meg.
Ez a könyv nem utólag magyaráz. Ez a könyv ott volt. 2024 februárjában egyetlen, akkor még értelmezhetetlen lépéssel indult az egész. Egy ismeretlen arc a képernyőn, egy mondat, ami más volt, mint a többi. Bojár Iván András, aki a Magyar Narancs című híres hetilap első főszerkesztője volt, végzettsége szerint művészettörténész, jelenleg ismert író és véleményformáló közéleti személyiség. Ösztönből fordult a klaviatúrához, ahogy évtizedek óta teszi, ha a történelem szaga érződik a levegőben. Nem hitt, nem remélt. Csak figyelt. Jegyzetelt. Mérlegelt. Túl sokszor látta már, hogyan fullad keserűségbe, hogyan bénul meg minden demokratikus kísérlet. De Magyar Péter, majd a nyomában felnövekedő Tisza nem állt meg. Hétről hétre, hónapról hónapra hömpölygött, és vitte magával az országot. Meg a szerzőt. Hűvös megfigyelőből előbb döbbent tanú lett, aztán dühös résztvevő, végül a rendszerváltás lelkes krónikása. A naplóval együtt változott ő is: a távolságtartásból hit lett, a kételyből sürgetés, a jegyzetelésből kiáltvány. Két éven át, napról napra követheti, hogyan reped meg egy betonnak hitt rendszer. Ott lesz a Kossuth téren, amikor először kimondják: győzhetünk. Ott lesz a vidéki roadshow-kon, ahol egy ország tanul meg újra remélni. Ott lesz a szerkesztőségben, a családi asztalnál, az éjszakai vitákban, ahol eldől, hogy ez most tényleg más lesz. És ott lesz azon a tavaszi estén, amikor a kivetítőn felizzik a mondat, amire 16 éve várunk: „Orbán Viktor gratulált Magyar Péternek”. Ez a könyv nem politológusi elemzés, nem memoár, nem történelemkönyv. Ez maga a történelem, ahogy történik. Nincs benne utólagos bölcsesség, nincs kozmetika. Ami bizonytalan volt, az a lapokon is bizonytalan. Ami felemelő volt, az ma is felemel. Újra élheti a pillanatot, amikor egy ország visszakapta a jövőjét. A TISZA ÁRADÁSA nem csak elmeséli a rendszerváltást. Belöki a közepébe, és amikor leteszi, már tudni fogja: 2026 áprilisa nem egy folyamat vége volt, hanem a kezdet
The God and the Gumiho - Az isten és a Skarlát Róka - A sors fonala 1.
Két csipkelődő halhatatlan. Egy esély a világ megmentésére.
Kim Hani - az egykor Skarlát Róka néven ismert és rettegett gumiho - egy kávézóban dolgozik, és igyekszik elkerülni, hogy egy bizonyos vendég felbosszantsa.
Szokka - a csalárd isten, akit egy puccskísérlet miatt száműztek a mennyekből - démonokra vadászik, és nem hagy ki egy alkalmat sem, hogy egy bizonyos gumiho idegeire menjen.
Mikor a sötétség egyik démona megszökik az alvilágból, a Skarlát Róka pedig előbújik rejtekéből, Szokka esélyt kap a megváltásra: ha megöli mindkettőt, bűnei megbocsátást nyernek.
Bármire hajlandóak lennének, hogy túljárjanak egymás eszén... csak arra nem, hogy szerelembe essenek.

Tentacles and Triathlons
REVISED AND EXPANDED PAPERBACK EDITION
When a grumpy park ranger meets a charming kraken, love might be worth the swim upstream in this sexy monster romance.
When parks department supervisor Reece Rollins decides to sign up for a triathlon, there are two things holding him back. One, his fear of monsters. Two, his sub-par swimming skills.
At the urging of his sister's wolven mate, Reece joins Leviathan Fitness to train in the gym's olympic size swimming pool. After running into Reece at the pool, Cyrus offers to help Reece get ready to win the race.
New feelings arise from the depths as Reece and Cyrus learn that monsters and humans go together, tentacle in hand. The only question is: can these two hold on to their new found love despite their differences?
The Wish
From the bestselling author of THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ comes a heartbreaking contemporary novel of a dying teenager's final wish, a lonely young man's journey towards connection, and the unexpected friendship they find together. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult, and John Green.
Jesse is 15. She loves her friends, her little brother and her parents - even when they're arguing, which feels like constantly these days. But most of all, she loves playing video games. Even from her hospital bed.
Alex is 29. He doesn't love a lot of things. To be honest, he's not really sure he knows how to. His desk at work, as VR games designer, is empty, much like his life feels sometimes.
Then Jesse makes a wish. A simple one: a video experience made of her life, something to be there, just in case she isn't.
One loving teenager.
One lonely adult.
Which one will get the happy ending?

Intermezzo (puhatáblás)
Nemzetközi #1 bestseller
Peter és Ivan Koubek testvérek, de nem is különbözhetnének jobban egymástól. Peter harmincas éveiben járó, sikeres dublini ügyvéd, aki magabiztosnak és sebezhetetlennek tűnik. Apjuk halála után azonban csak gyógyszerekkel tud aludni, és képtelen rendet tenni a magánéletében: két nagyon különböző nő között őrlődik. Ott van számára a gyerekkori szerelme, Sylvia, és a főiskolás Naomi is, aki úgy él, mintha az élet egy nagy vicc lenne csak.
Ivan huszonkét éves, versenyszerűen sakkozik. Mindig is úgy gondolt magára, mint ügyetlen, magának való figurára, aki épp az ellentéte nagyszájú bátyjának. A gyász első heteiben találkozik a nála valamivel idősebb Margaret-tel, aki saját múltjának nehézségeivel küzd, és a kapcsolatuk rövid idő alatt intenzívvé válik.
A két gyászoló testvér és hozzájuk kapcsolódó nők számára ez az időszak teli van vágyakozással, kétségbeeséssel, és új lehetőségekkel. Meg kell tapasztalniuk, hogy mennyit bír el egy élet anélkül, hogy végleg összeroppanna.

,,Hát, ha ez a szenvedés, gondolja, akkor hadd szenvedjek. Igen. Szeretni azt, aki még maradt nekem. És ha valaha is elveszítek valakit, hadd szálljak alá hiábavaló és tartós haragba, igen, hadd csüggedjek, hadd akarjak törni-zúzni bármit, bútort, kisgépet, hadd akarjak verekedni, ordítani, busz elé lépni, igen. Hadd szenvedjek, kérlek. Szeretni csak ezt a pár embert, tudni, hogy képes vagyok rá, azért az életem minden napján szenvednék."
