If I Ruled the World
It is 1999 in New York City where 20-something Nikki Rose has spent the last 3 years working her way up the chain at StyleList, a fashion magazine rivaled only by Vogue. As the only Black editor on staff, Nikki’s never had it easy, but the constant microaggressions turn macro when Nikki pitches Tyisha, supermodel and host of “America’s Next Cover Girl”, for the cover of StyleList’s January issue. Her Editor-in-Chief responds simply: “Black girls don’t sell magazines.” Determined to find a place for young Black women in the magazine world, Nikki hustles her way into a job offer as Editor-in-Chief at Sugar, a floundering hip hop music and lifestyle publication with untapped potential. She’s faced with a difficult decision: say goodbye to her prestigious job (much to the chagrin of her academic parents and investment banker boyfriend) or bet on herself and enter an entirely new world of extreme wealth, decadence, and debauchery. She chooses herself. Now Nikki must deal with a whole new set of challenges as she fights to save Sugar, including facing off with its vindictive former Editor-in-Chief and winning over her skeptical staff, learning to navigate the urban music industry while staving off its influential bad boys and power players—and perhaps the most difficult, evading the Alonzo Griffin: her very married, very powerful ex-boyfriend, former boss, publishing powerhouse, and well-known womaniser, who is on a mission to take Nikki (and Sugar) down. As Nikki struggles to make her way in the media and music industries during one of the most dynamic eras in pop culture history, she needs to game the system to win. But what happens when winning means sacrificing everything you hold dear?
The Bureau
'Some of the most beautiful prose being written in Ireland today' Irish TimesA Harper's most talked-about thriller novel 2025A Irish Times Book of the Year 2025A Critic Book of the Year 2025A Guardian Crime Book of the Year 2025Lorraine would say afterwards that she was smitten straight off with Paddy Farrell. You could tell that he was occupying the room in a different way, he found the spaces that fitted him. She was the kind of girl the papers called vivacious, always a bit of dazzle to her. Could she not see there was death about him? Could he not see there was death about her? Paddy worked the border, a place of road closures, hijackings, sudden death. Everything bootleg and tawdry, nobody is saying that the law is paid off but it is. This is strange terrain, unsolid, ghosted through. There's illicit cash coming across the border and Brendan's backstreet Bureau de Change is the place to launder it. Brendan knows the rogue lawyers, the nerve shot policemen, the alcoholic judges and he doesn't care about getting caught. For the Bureau crew getting caught is only the start of the game. Paddy and his associates were a ragged band and honourless and their worth to themselves was measured in thievery and fraud. But Lorraine was not a girl to be treated lightly. She's cast as a minx, a criminal's moll but she's bought a shotgun. And she's bought a grave.

Reparenting the Inner Child
If you're ready to stop repeating the past and finally start building the future you deserve, you need to read this book. Mel Robbins, internationally bestselling author of The Let Them Theory and host of The Mel Robbins PodcastFrom the internationally bestselling author of How to Do the Work and How to Be the Love You Seek comes a groundbreaking guide to healing our childhood wounds and rediscovering our full potentialAs adults, we often fall into patterns that feel irrational or out of character-shutting down, lashing out, people-pleasing, or self-sabotaging. Beneath those reactions lies our inner child, a younger part of us still trying to get its needs met the only way it knows how. We all carry the imprint of our earliest years. Childhood is brief, yet its impact is lifelong. Some parts of us were met with love while other parts were met with silence, criticism, or disapproval. To survive, we learned to adapt-learning to over perform, to hide, or stay small. Most of us made it through with a mix of love and lack. And many of us still protect the parts of ourselves that once felt unsafe. While we can't change what happened, we can change how it lives within us and impacts our lives today. Reparenting the Inner Child offers a clear, compassionate path to self-integration, combining practical exercises, somatic tools, and guided reflections to help us create the safety, love, and boundaries we've always needed. Through her holistic framework that models individual development, Dr. LePera explains how we can cultivate the emotional maturity and regulation to respond calmly instead of reacting, to embrace desire instead of shame, and to question the stories we've long believed about who we have to be. Enlightening, empowering, and clarifying, Reparenting the Inner Child is a book that will stand the test of time as a comprehensive guide for personal development and healing, and a resource that will forever change the way we understand ourselves.

What Am I, A Deer?
What does it mean to lose yourself – and is that something you should be aiming for? A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession – not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace. With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Barton’s formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.
Brit
Rose Cassidyová nežije, len existuje, pretože jediný spôsob, ako sa dá prežiť v tomto nemilosrdnom svete, je otupiť sa voči bolesti a strachu. Keď sa v smrteľnej hre o moc stáva rukojemníčkou mafiána Dannyho Blacka, narastá v nej záujem, ale aj hlboká túžba. Už počula príbehy o Britovi, o jeho krutosti a bezcitnosti. Nikto jej však nepovedal, že je aj zlovestne príťažlivý. Vidí priamo do jej duše a zároveň v nej vzbudzuje nádej – pocit, ktorý je pre ňu krutejší než všetko ostatné.
Keď si Danny ako záruku vyžiadal krásnu milenku jedného zo svojich nepriateľov, netušil, aké to bude mať následky. Rose ho svojím divokým šarmom tlačí na pokraj šialenstva, až si musí pripomínať, že je len nástrojom, riešením problému. Napriek tomu v Dannym vyvoláva silné city, ktoré by ho mohli stáť život. Najmä keď ho chcú všetci zabiť.

Divoká láska
Najsladšie ovocie je to zakázané
Ford Grant je podľa časopisu Forbes považovaný za „Najpríťažlivejšieho miliardára na svete“. Pozornosť verejnosti však pre neho nie je vítaná a rád by si otvoril nahrávacie štúdio v nádhernom mestečku Rose Hill. Všetko sa skomplikuje, keď sa pred ním zjaví mladé dievča, ktoré ho označí za svojho biologického otca. Fordov život sa zrazu zmení na balansovanie medzi biznisom a výchovou mrzutej dvanásťročnej pubertiačky – nehovoriac o Rosie Belmontovej, sestre svojho najlepšieho priateľa, od ktorej musí držať ruky preč.
Rose po živote vo veľkomeste vtrhla späť do rodného mestečka ako búrka. Krásna, chaotická a nepredvídateľná. A stačí jedna úpenlivá prosba o prácu, aby ju Ford zamestnal. Síce sa snaží držať si ju od tela protivnými poznámkami a jednoslovnými odpoveďami, každá slovná prestrelka medzi nimi sa stáva akousi predohrou a vyvoláva iskrenie, ktoré rýchlo prerastie v niečo viac.
Ford si uvedomuje, že by nemal prekročiť túto nebezpečne tenkú hranicu, pretože nemôcť a nechcieť sú dve odlišné veci. Ostáva mu len jediné. Pokúsiť sa jej odolať.

Pogrom v Topoľčanoch
Iba niekoľko mesiacov po skončení 2. svetovej vojny sa 24. septembra 1945 v Topoľčanoch odohrali krvavé násilnosti, ktoré sú známe ako ,,topoľčiansky protižidovský pogrom". Jeho priebehom a vyšetrovaním sa zaoberali vtedajšie najvyššie štátne orgány na Slovensku a v ČSR. Udalosť mala veľký ohlas doma aj v zahraničí. Napriek tomu, akoby sa na tieto udalosti zabudlo. Topoľčiansky pogrom nebol podrobnejšie rozpracovaný ani v slovenskej historiografii. V monografii mesta Topoľčany je tejto udalosti venované len niekoľko riadkov. Autorky sa opierajú o archívny výskum a prinášajú osobné výpovede svedkov udalostí. Popisujú príčiny, priebeh pogromu, jeho vyšetrovanie a dôsledky, medzi ktoré patril najmä postupný odchod Židov z Topoľčian.

Trestný poriadok s komentárom a judikatúrou od 1. júla 2026
Kniha obsahuje úplné znenie zákona NR SR č. 301/2005 Z. z. s komentárom a judikatúrou po poslednej novele vykonanej zákonom NR SR č. 416/2025 Z. z. a zachytáva i uznesenie Ústavného súdu SR č. 41/2026 Z. z. Základným cieľom Trestného poriadku je zefektívnenie, zjednodušenie, zrýchlenie a zhospodárnenie trestného procesu, čím sa zabezpečuje účinnejšia ochrana práv a oprávnených záujmov fyzických a právnických osôb, ako aj ochrana celospoločenských záujmov. Štrukturálne zmeny možno vidieť v presune kompetencií medzi orgánmi činnými v trestnom konaní (policajt a prokurátor) a súdom, ktorý ako nezávislý štátny orgán meritórne rozhoduje vo veci. Zásadná zmena v presune kompetencií sa týka konania pred súdom. Okresný súd je základným článkom súdnej sústavy, pretože konania v prvom stupni sa o všetkých veciach konajú na tomto súde. V poslednom období došlo k podstatným zmenám Trestného poriadku a všetky tieto zmeny sú už zachytené v tejto knihe, ktorá slúži predovšetkým potrebám dennej praxe.
Veszett ügyek
Egy adrenalindús, lehengerlően izgalmas sorozatnyitány, amely egy különös FBI-osztag nyomozását követi egy kegyetlen gyilkos után.
Gardner Camden FBI-ügynök elemző zseni, a rejtélyek és mintázatok megszállottja. De van egy gyenge pontja: nem mindig látja az embereket – sem az ügyekben, sem a saját életében. Még hétéves kislányát, Camilát sem érti igazán. A munkájában azonban nincs párja: az FBI Mintaelemző- és azonosító egységének a tagja, egy olyan különleges csapatba tartozik, amelyet akkor vetnek be, amikor a hagyományos nyomozati módszerek csődöt mondanak.
Ráadásul épp egy rendkívül nyugtalanító ügyön dolgoznak: az első tetthely DNS-nyoma egy rég halottnak hitt sorozatgyilkoshoz vezet vissza, a második áldozatnál pedig már világos mintázat rajzolódik ki, miközben az elkövető kifejezetten Gardnernek kezd üzenni, rejtvényeket és jeleket hagyva maga után. Az egység, amely többnyire irodai környezetben, kihűlt akták felett dolgozik, hamarosan kénytelen lesz az ország különböző pontjaira menni a teljes nyilvánosság előtt.
Gardner mellett a csapat tagja még egy zseniális matematikus, egy fegyverszakértő, egy kíméletlenül hatékony informatikus, és a mindezt kézben tartó, veterán csapatvezető. Együtt kell megfejteniük a gyilkos kilétének rejtvényét. De miközben az elkövető egyre többet tud meg róluk, kérdés, vajon képesek lesznek-e megvédeni magukat – és a családjukat –, mielőtt túl késő lenne.
John McMahon regénye az 1990-es és 2000-es évek legjobb sorozatgyilkosos thrillereit idézi fel és helyezi modern környezetbe lehengerlő frissességgel. A kifinomult, csavaros bűnténynek, különleges szereplőknek és az utolsó oldalig tartó feszült tempónak köszönhetően a Veszett ügyek a műfaj legjobbjaival vetekszik.
