Muscles and Monsters
A gym-owning wolven and a headstrong baker discover howl real their connection is in this sweet and spicy monster romance.
After a wedding cake catastrophe on the street, local baker Tegan lands in the most unexpected place-a solid wall of fur and fangs named Atlas. She's never met anyone like him and finds herself enamored by his wolfish charm. After their sweet encounter, Atlas invites her to his gym anytime she needs his cake-lifting services.
However, Tegan is through with being a damsel in distress. She signs up for a membership with Leviathan Fitness, determined to build her strength...and if she sees the handsome wolven again, it's a win-win scenario.
Atlas can't believe his eyes when Tegan walks through the doors of his gym, and nearly goes snout-over-paw to offer her personal training. Shared glances over the barbell and accidental touches at the water fountain set Atlas's heart racing in a way he swore it couldn't again.
Primal desires emerge as Atlas and Tegan test just how much their new love can lift. Could Tegan be the unexpected mate of Atlas's dreams?

The Waterbearers
A heartfelt memoir exploring Black womanhood, motherhood and culture; perfect for fans of Toni Morrison and Stay True by Hua Hsu. ‘A tale of evolution and hope’ – Hilton Als, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of White Girls‘One of the most beautiful and truthful books I’ve ever read.’ - Imani Perry, National Book Award-winning author of South to America--------------'Wherever there is water, there is mystery. And mystery breeds mythology.'When Sasha Bonét’s grandmother, Betty Jean, raised eleven children in a Texas bayou house, she did it alone, creating a home that was the heart of their family. Her daughter, Mama Connie, vowed to live differently but found herself echoing her mother’s struggles. Now, Sasha navigates motherhood, reflecting on the legacies of Black women like Nina Simone, Betty Davis, Michelle Obama, Rosa Parks and Darnella Frazier (the woman who told the world about George Floyd) to build a portrait of Black womanhood through time. From mundane yet powerful mornings at the kitchen table to moments of courageously taking on the world at large in the fight for dignity, Bonét explores the trials and triumphs of Black matriarchy – escape, promise, burden, assent and rebellion – weaving personal history with cultural narratives. With clear-eyed tenderness, The Waterbearers reveals intimate vignettes mixed with cultural history of Black women who have built legacies and changed the world through the ties of love – and complexity – that bind them. Praise for The Waterbearers:‘A bold new entry in the canon of literature about Black motherhood’ – Kaitlyn Greenidge, author of Libertie ‘Magnificent… Bonét dances on our hearts in this classic creation of will and wit. Electrifying and incredibly sturdy. Wow.’ – Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy‘The Waterbearers is a wonder of a book ? raw in its honesty, tender in its gaze, lyrical and luminous on the page.' – Jendella Benson, author of Hope and Glory‘An epic love song and a remarkable ballad of generations…the women in these pages [have] forever deepened my understanding of motherhood, history, homecoming, and the revolutionary potential of love.’ - Leslie Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams

Learning from Silence
From the bestselling author of The Art of Stillness, a revelatory exploration of the abiding clarity and calm to be found in quiet retreatOver the past three decades, Pico Iyer has made more than a hundred journeys to a small hermitage high above the sea in Big Sur, California. He's not a Christian, nor a member of any religious group, and yet his life has been transformed by these periods of time spent in silence. In Learning from Silence, Iyer travels deep into inner stillness and joy in his many seasons at the monastery, even as his life is going through constant change: houses burn, a parent dies, a daughter is diagnosed with cancer. He shares the revelations he experiences, alongside wisdom from other non-monastics who have learned from adversity and inwardness. Most profoundly, he shows how solitude can be a training in community and companionship. In so doing, he offers a unique outsider's view of monastic life - and of a group of selfless souls who have dedicated their days to ensuring there's a space for quiet and recollection that's open to us all. Radiant, intimate and gripping, Learning from Silence offers ageless counsel about the power of silence and what it can teach us about how to live, how to love and, ultimately, how to die.
School Isn't For Everyone (and what you can do instead)
Unschooling, a learner-centred educational philosophy, breaks away from the confines of traditional schooling, advocating for a more organic, child-centric approach. Its essence lies in the belief that learning is a natural and lifelong process. It is cemented in the fact that children are innately curious and capable of directing their own education when provided with a nurturing and resource-rich environment. This book delves into the principles of unschooling, providing insights into its benefits, challenges, and practical application. School Isn''t For Everyone shows what is possible when you leave school behind and start living a life of learning. It discusses the principles that form this educational philosophy, explains how unschooling works, sets out what the parents'' role is and explores what children do all day when they don''t follow a curriculum. It draws on current theory and evidence whilst sharing practical tips and being grounded in the reality of day-to-day life with children. It does this by including interviews with unschooling families, exercises for parents to help reinforce ideas, listing key points in every chapter and including diagrams to illustrate the concepts being explored. Whether you are a parent looking for alternatives to school, are already home educating and exploring the possibilities, have found yourself unexpectedly unschooling or are certain that this is the route for you, this book serves as a guide to both understanding and implementing the core principles, taking you on a journey from schooled to unschooled and releasing you and your child into a life full of learning.

The heretic, however, makes Csilla a counteroffer: clear his name by helping him catch the real killer, and he'll use his angelic gifts to grant her very own soul. Meanwhile, ruthless Ilan, desperate to earn back his position as Church Inquisitor, sees the case as his chance at redemption: he'll bring in the murderer - or, failing that, Csilla and the heretic - and regain his title. But as the death toll rises, and their hunt pits them against the all-powerful and callous Faith, Csilla finds herself torn. Will her salvation come at the cost of everything she believes i? ngels.

Kétszáz éves szerelem - Éldekorált kiadás
Szentirmai Róza családjában a bábamesterség anyáról lányára szálló tudomány – őt is szívesen hívják a falubeliek, ha gyermek érkezik a házhoz. De ismer gyógyírt a női test és lélek minden bajára, kezében van a csábítás és a testi örömök fokozására szolgáló csodaszerek titka, ahogy az összetört szívek balzsama is, férfinak, nőnek egyaránt. Az a szóbeszéd járja, hogy tudása nem e világi: felmenői között boszorkány is akadt.
Egy napon Rózát furcsa, valóságosnak tűnő álomból ébresztik. Míg álmában máglyára vetették, a valóságban a háza ég le. Bár fiával sértetlenül megmenekülnek, hamuvá és porrá lett életükből semmi más nem marad, csak egy bordó, bőrkötéses könyv – egy hosszú évszázadokat átfogó napló, amely a semmiből került elő, benne egy üzenettel. Róza késztetést érez, hogy beleírjon egy kérdést a bordó könyvbe, és megdöbbentő módon válasz érkezik. Válasz – kétszáz évvel korábbról. Róza kíváncsian ered útnak, hogy megtudja, ki írhatta a sorokat. Miközben az árvíz után újjászülető Szeged utcáit járja a könyvvel a kezében, egyre többet tud meg egy olyan világról, amelynek már a nyomai is csak az emlékezetben élnek. A könyv sorai az egykori Boszorkányszigetre vezetik, ahol a fák és gyomok között meghallja a múlt suttogását, a talpa alatt érzi az egykori máglyák hamujának perzselő érintését.
BAUER BARBARA regénye egy évszázadokon átívelő, mágikus szerelem története, amelyben párhuzamosan elevenedik meg a híres szegedi boszorkányperek sötét időszaka és a két világháború közötti Magyarország falusi valósága. A nagy kérdések – mit jelent nőnek lenni, mi kell a boldogsághoz, az igaz szerelemhez – talán minden korban ugyanazok. Egy azonban biztos: mindezekhez férfi kell, mégpedig az igazi!

Kiderül, mi van a Mély Kút mélyén, és hogy miért nincs tó, ha van.

Stitching and Strolling
A picturebook by Hermes that shares the joy of craftmanship for children and adults alike.
Durability, quality and transmission are values that have guided the creation of Hermes objects since 1837; values that Hermes aspires to share with the youngest generation. For this edition, Hermes has commissioned 100% ORANGE, the acclaimed creator duo whose works include numerous picture books and children's books. With their artisanal approach to create graphic designs and illustrations, they have created a story that seeks to encapsulate the meaning of craftsmanship and aims to pass on to the next generation the essence of Hermes. The joyful story of 'Ostampo Stetetcchi', expresses the Maison's unique artisanal savoir-faire with the following story:
As a craftsman masters skillfully the tools and materials in its small saddlery shop, bringing his creations to life, a dog enters with a special request. Gently and kindly, the craftsman works to fulfill the dog's earnest needs. With joy, the dog invites the craftsman for a walk, and as they walk, they encounter animals of one kind or another. A little bit of magic, his hands and his tools are all it takes for the craftsman to grant their wishes one by one. With perfectly crafted creations, the animals arn delighted by its magic.
