The Children
Their childhood was yours. They want it back . . .
Guinevere's late mother, Edith Sharpe, needs little introduction. Bestselling author of the unendingly successful Ninth City series, her books brought so much joy and inspired the imagination of countless children the world over. Guin's childhood with her mother, brother Ennis and her actor father was a blissful, bohemian affair, filled with continuous laughter and surrounded by artistic types in their Vermont barnhouse. At least, this is the story Guin presents as she prepares for the press tour for her upcoming memoir about life in the Sharpe family.
Now estranged from her brother and her parents long dead after a devastating fire, strange events threaten the veneer of serenity and familial harmony Guin is keen to project. Ennis, now a notorious artist with a troubled past, announces a new installation - his first since a disastrous last show one year prior - simply entitled Mother. And Guin can't help but worry that the truth behind their idyllic childhood is about to blow her world apart.
Told in alternating narratives between 1990s Vermont and present-day New York, The Children is a twisting narrative of family secrets and long-held resentments, which asks whether we can ever really exorcise the ghosts of a childhood forsaken in favour of a parent's artistic vision.
Mother Ghost Mango Seed
A single thread can unravel a web of secrets …
Lin returns from England to Bangkok to care for her dying mother. In the city, pro-democracy protestors clash with the military government and ambitious new king. And among all this, Lin’s mother dies.
Numbed at the wake and feeling like a stranger in her home country, Lin tries to cook her mother’s favourite dish, but her mother’s recipes are all missing, and in their place is an old political leaflet which everyone refuses to translate. Lonely and intrigued, Lin sets off with her baby to the Thai countryside in search of answers.
As she discovers herself and her culture, Lin quickly finds that tugging at a single thread can unravel a web of secrets held for decades, driving away loved ones, breaking cultural taboos, and uncovering dreadful truths behind a devastating political past.

They are all so different: but must find a way to work together. They embark on a series of physical and mental challenges, with Tig (and therefore the reader) choosing the path. When the team start noticing strange things happening around them in the woods - ghostly noises, wild weather and suspicious-looking Game Camp staff - they uncover a mystery to solve. Will you lead the team to victory, or into chaos? And will they all find out a lot about their true selves during the process...? You, the reader, will make choices for the team throughout this story. YOU are in charge of the Game!

To the Moon
The bestselling South Korean phenomenon, To the Moon is a bittersweet tale of wealth and class, female friendship, and the promise of the future when good fortune seems to be just around the corner.
In Seoul, three young women meet while working mundane desk jobs at a confectionary manufacturer. They become fast friends, taking their conversations out of the group chat as they bond over their 'average' employee report cards, the incompetence of their male team leader and a mutual longing for financial freedom amid mediocre raises.
Eun-sang, the eldest of the group, is always looking for ways to earn extra money, but faces trouble at work after she opens a mini mart at her desk.
Jisong, the youngest, dreams of a perfect romance with her Taiwanese boyfriend and spends her low salary on trips to Taipei.
Meanwhile, Dahae searches endlessly for a better apartment - albeit one she can actually afford.
One day over lunch, Eun-sang announces a plan to make enough money to quit her job, by investing her life's savings in cryptocurrency. What's more, she thinks the others should join her. All they need to do, she says, is hold on tight and wait for the price to skyrocket . . . to the moon. But as the market begins to fluctuate and spiral out of their control, the fate of their friendships - and their futures - soon hangs in the balance.

Az Aranycsapat másképpen
Magyarország kétszer játszott döntőt foci-vb-n: 1938-ban és 1954-ben. A kettő között mindössze 16 év van, és mindkettő a magyar foci – nagyjából 1910 és 1966 között tartó – nagy korszakának kiemelkedő és szimbolikus eseménye. Bár a második döntő és maga az Aranycsapat kiemelt súllyal van jelen a magyar történelmi emlékezetben, hajlamosak vagyunk elszigetelten, önmagában nézni, pedig egy sokévtizedes folyamat eredményeként jött létre. Ez az olvasmányos, sok új és izgalmas részletet és összefüggést feltáró, gazdag fényképanyaggal illusztrált könyv ezen kíván változtatni.
A könyv végig kíséri az Aranycsapat kialakulását a magyar politikai és futballközegben, miközben érzékletesen mutatja be a világfutball folyamatait a hidegháborús viszonyok között. Részletes és plasztikus képet kapunk az Aranycsapat nagy meneteléséről: az 1952-es olimpiai aranyról (itt sikerült végre legyőzni a nagy mumust, az olaszokat, akik ellen elvesztettük az 1938-as vb-döntőt, és akiket az 1930-as években soha sem sikerült legyőznünk), az 1953-ról, az Aranycsapat legjobb évéről (beleértve az angolok elleni 6-3-at), és eddig soha nem látott részletességgel kísérhetjük végig magát az 1954-es vb-t. Külön erénye a könyvnek a döntőbeli ellenfél, a német csapat és az azt kitermelő német futballkultúra bemutatása. Részletesen foglalkozik a vb alatt a csapaton belül uralkodó viszonyokkal, a döntő eredményének fogadtatásával és következményeivel Magyarországon és Németországban, valamint azzal, hogyan látta a külvilág az Aranycsapatot.
A könyv – amellett hogy élvezetes és izgalmas olvasmány – segít abban, hogy a helyükre kerüljenek a sokszor hallott-látott dolgok, ezáltal összefüggéseiben, a valós történelmünk részeként kezdjük látni azt, amit olyannyira csodálunk.
Pod tatranskými strechami
Poviedky tatranského spisovateľa, vysokohorského nosiča, záchranára a chatára Bela Kapolku (1935 – 1994) patria do zlatého fondu slovenskej literatúry. Za debut Kanadské smreky (1967) získal prestížnu Cenu Ivana Kraska, za zbierku poviedok Strecha (1968) Cenu Vydavateľstva Smena a čitateľsky obľúbené boli aj Chodníky bez značiek, v ktorých sa poviedkové príbehy prelínajú s publicistickým hodnotením diania v podtatranských osadách. Z nich vedú značkované chodníky k vysokohorských chatám, odkiaľ sa vydávajú turisti a horolezci na lákavé, náročné i nebezpečné trasy sedlami a žulovými stenami k vrcholom najmenších európskych veľhôr. Kapolkove knižky nezoženiete už ani v antikvariáte, a tak sa Vydavateľstvo Spolku spisovateľov rozhodlo vyslať ich k súčasným čitateľom spoločne pod názvom Pod tatranskými strechami. Spisovateľ sa po príchode do Vysokých Tatier neuspokojoval s pozíciou nadšeného obdivovateľa prírodných scenérií. Bol aktívnym účastníkom diania, preto sú jeho príbehy naplnené osobnými skúsenosťami. Zbieral ich pri mnohých aktívnych činnostiach. Robil pomocníka pri tesárskych prácach, v záhrade polieval záhony a pestoval kvietky, bol plavčíkom na kúpalisku v Ružbachoch, údržbárom na strojnej a traktorovej stanici, kuričom v hoteloch, natieral stožiare diaľkového elektrického vedenia, pracoval v lese, pri lyžiarskom vleku. Písal o cezhraničnom pašovaní tovaru, ktoré spoznal aj vlastnou skúsenosťou. Vážil si nosičov ťažkých nákladov na horské chaty. Cenil si nefalšované kamarátstva, otvorené medziľudské vzťahy. Konal s úctou k prostrediu Vysokých Tatier, s ktorým bol bytostne zrastený, čo dokazoval aj v svojej literárnej tvorbe.
