The Beasts We Raise
Newly-appointed Prime Mancella is desperate to keep the peace within her realm and within herself. Having recently acquired the power to physically split into separate versions of herself, her identity is beginning to fracture—along with her land, which is on the brink of war. The only semblance of normalcy in her life is her budding romance with thief-turned-confidant, Silver. . . at least until the mysterious Prime Reltas arrives at her doorstep asking, or rather demanding, her hand in marriage. If Mance wants to avoid a fight that will devastate her realm, she’ll have to consider the proposal. Even if it destroys Silver. But Mance isn't ready to give up just yet. Desperate to free herself from the betrothal, Mance must seek allyship from other Primes and learn to control her new magic. If she fails, her decision to refuse Reltas's proposal will implode the delicate state of affairs across the realms, setting off a catastrophic war—and shatter two hearts in the process.
The Next Woman
Lily knows every inch of Aurora Island—she came here to disappear. Hidden away, a mile off the mainland, it’s a paradise of beautiful beaches and picture-postcard villages. The perfect place to reinvent yourself. To keep secrets buried. But this summer, women are vanishing—in a chilling alphabetical pattern. First Alice. Then Beccy. Then Corinne. Each disappearance more mysterious than the last, leaving no trace behind. As panic builds on the island, a hit true-crime podcast seizes on the story. Its magnetic host, Ross, arrives with questions, charm, and an agenda no one can quite pin down. For Lily, each new disappearance brings her letter closer. And on Aurora, where some come to hide and others vanish without a trace, time is running out—one woman at a time…
Night of the Mannequins
We thought we'd play a fun prank on her, and now most of us are dead. One last laugh for the summer as it winds down. One last prank just to scare a friend. Bringing a mannequin into a theater is just some harmless fun, right? Until it wakes up. Until it starts killing. Luckily, Sawyer has a plan. He’ll be a hero. He'll save everyone to the best of his ability. He'll kill as many people as he needs to so he can save the day. That's the thing about heroes—sometimes you have to become a monster first.
A Good Animal
Staying is his dream. Leaving is hers. One secret threatens them both. In the farm country outside Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan—a border town where life moves slow and dreams run fast—most kids want out. Not Everett Lindt. He’s set on staying put, rebuilding his family’s sheep farm, and carving a future from the land he loves. Then he meets Mary, a new girl in town with restless energy and bigger plans. When their relationship reaches a crossroads, Everett sees a life together. Mary, however, is desperate to find a way out. Together, they make an impulsive choice—one that could change everything. Tense, lyrical, and deeply felt, Sara Maurer's unforgettable debut breathtakingly captures the ache of first love, the beauty and brutality of rural life, and how one decision can echo through generations and shape who we become.
Mořská Eva
Nikdy není pozdě se nadechnout
Čtyřicátnice Eva žije obyčejný, nenápadný život. Až do chvíle, kdy se jí všechny dosavadní jistoty začnou drolit pod rukama. Sérii nečekaných událostí završí šokující poznání, že tam, kde se jiní topí, ona popadne dech. Promění tato nově objevená schopnost Evu v superhrdinku? Nebo spíš v ženu, která si poprvé dovolí být sama sebou, i když to znamená být divná, neuchopitelná, nebo dokonce nebezpečná?
Mořská Eva je pozdní coming-of-age román o ženě, která se pokouší přežít tlak rodiny, úřadů, médií i vlastních představ o tom, jaká by měla být. V tragikomických obrazech se mísí fantaskno, intimita i satira maloměšťáckých očekávání. Autorka s nadhledem i něhou sleduje, jak se člověk může rozpadnout, znovu poskládat a najít sílu v něčem, co se nakonec stane jeho klíčem ke svobodě.

Druuna 4
Krásná a vyzývavá Druuna se už po několikáté musí protloukat postapokalyptickým světem. Tentokrát jí ovšem situaci ještě více komplikuje skutečnost, že si na nic nevzpomíná. Po své minulosti se snaží pátrat na širých pláních, kde domorodé skupiny svádějí boj s nelítostnými kolonizátory.
Tuší, že by neměla nikomu věřit, ale při některých setkáních se jí vzpomínky začnou postupně vracet. Vzpomíná si na svého polorobotického přítele, na svou lásku Schastera či na Doktora. Nejvíc ji ovšem překvapí, když potká své druhé já...
Vedle komiksu (kterým se Serpieri částečně vrací ke svým westernovým kořenům) je součástí alba i rozsáhlá galerie autorových erotických prací s příznačným názvem XXX. V ní si čtenáři mohou užít Serpieriho odvážnější tvorbu, která je doprovázena autorovými komentáři citovanými z různých periodik.

Spiritualita posvátné Země
Kniha je osobní i společenskou výpovědí o spiritualitě pro naši dobu. Opírá se o předpoklad neduality – vnitřní a vnější, božské a pozemské tvoří souzvuk spolubytí. Rozvíjí zkušenost posvátné mnohosti kultur, náboženství i forem života a propojuje péči, vztahovost a uznání naší zranitelnosti. Autor nás postupně provází čtyřmi cestami: via positiva (krása a vděčnost), via negativa (temnota a pomíjivost), via creativa (tvořivost a imaginace) a via transformativa (společenská proměna). Vychází z osobní duchovní i terapeutické zkušenosti, současné planetární krize i z inspirace mystickými tradicemi (zvláště křesťanské spirituality stvoření a angažovaného buddhismu). Výsledkem je „manifest“ spolubytí – vize, která zve k soucitu, odvaze a nové kultuře života.

Královna jedů
Geoffrey Lushington, starosta Marlow, náhle zemře během schůze jedné z komisí městské rady. Když byly v jeho kávě nalezeny stopy akonitinu – jedu, kterému se také říká královna jedů a pochází z rostliny oměj šalamounek – policie ví, že byl zavražděn. Kdo ho ale zabil? A proč?
Hned na začátku vyšetřování požádá policie o pomoc Judith, Suzie a Becks – Detektivní spolek dam z Marlow – aby jí pomohly v roli civilních poradkyň, takže mají volnou ruku k vyslýchání svědků a sledování stop. To velmi vyhovuje Judith, která se rozhodně odmítá podřizovat nějakým pravidlům a standartním postupům. Tento případ ale dá detektivnímu spolku zabrat. Kdo by mohl chtít zabít tak hodného a přívětivého starostu? Jak se vrahovi vůbec podařilo dostat jed do jeho kávy? Je v ohrožení ještě někdo jiný? Je to zatím největší záhada pro Detektivní spolek dam z Marlow, s jakou měly jeho členky kdy co do činění.

A pop princess with her career in ruins is forced into a fake PR relationship with Hollywood actor, Grayson, to save her image. Except her new fake boyfriend is less than charming, and she seeks companionship elsewhere. She ends up hiring an escort, convinced losing her virginity is the way to elicit a sexy spark into her music, which the industry desperately wants from her. Except the escort, Taio, isn't interested in rushing her first time. Instead, they build a friendship and strike up a bedroom lessons arrangement. When they are caught by the paparazzi spending time together after hours, she's forced to feed out a lie to the tabloids that Taio is her bodyguard. With a new male threat prevalent, Grayson begins to show Charlie attention (out of competitiveness), and Taio, who has been hurt before and is convinced he'll never settle down and leave escorting. Now Charlie is caught in a bizarre fake love-triangle while trying to revive her dwindling music career, doing her best to figure out what an actual happily ever after looks like and whether that might be off-stage.
Buckinghamshire & East Berkshire
Of all the counties surrounding London, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire are most closely associated with the title 'home counties' and both contain large stretches of what is thought of as quintessential English countryside. The Chilterns dominate the south, a plateau-like maze of chalk hills covered with beechwoods, villages and fields rising from the Thames Valley to a steep northern escarpment, and at its foot the fertile farmland of the Vale of Aylesbury stretches northwards towards the River Great Ouse and the start of the Midlands beyond. Across the Thames lies the more densely populated East Berkshire, which nevertheless still boasts some wonderful countryside, including the landscaped parkland of Windsor Castle.
A Room of One's Own
A Room of One’s Own is an American classic that has been inspiring readers since its initial publication in 1929. Based on two lectures that Woolf delivered at the University of Cambridge, this collection of extended essays highlights the importance of education and independence for aspiring writers. Woolf calls for the inclusion of more female voices in the literary canon, and outlines the steps needed for more women to gain access to writing careers. Still relevant to this day, readers of all kinds will take inspiration from Woolf’s commitment to creating inclusion in the creative space, and her dedication to creating art despite those who would deny her. With a new foreword by a modern author, readers will gain insight into the ways that Virginia Woolfe’s teachings still influence modern creatives.
The Snowbirds
Kim and Grant are at a turning point. A couple for thirty years, their 'separate but together' partnership is running up against the realities of late middle age: Grant’s mother has died, the college where he taught philosophy was shuttered, and their twin girls are grown and gone. Escaping the bitter cold of a Midwestern winter for the hot desert sun of Palm Springs seems as good a solution as any to the more intractable problems they face. When they arrive at Le Desert, a quirky condo community where everyone knows everyone’s business, Kim immediately embraces the opportunity to make new friends and explore a more adventurous side of her personality. Meanwhile, Grant struggles to find his footing in this unfamiliar landscape, leaving Kim to wonder if their relationship can survive the snowbird season. But when Grant goes missing on a hike in the Palm Springs mountains, Kim is forced to consider two terrifying outcomes: either Grant is truly lost, or this time, he’s really left her. Is it ever too late to become the person we wanted to be—and is there still time to change into someone better? The exhilarating, but often confusing transitions of midlife are pitched against the promise and glamour of Palm Springs in this tender, honest story of what it takes to commit to someone for a lifetime. With compassion and humour, Clancy explores the redemptive power of finding ourselves, and of being found.

Soft Core
Plunged into the swirling underworld of beautiful women, fast cash, ungodly hours, and strangers' secrets, Baby's grip on reality begins to loosen. She is sure she can handle it-until one autumn morning when Dino disappears without a trace. Thus begins a nocturnal quest for the one she still loves-through the misty hills of San Francisco; at dive bars and bus stops; at the BDSM dungeon where she takes a part-time gig. A brutally funny, propulsive story of power, fantasy, love, and loss, Brittany Newell's Soft Core is an ode to the heartbroken and unhinged, to those whose appetites lead them astray. It is a hallucinogenic romp about a girl coming undone, whose longing for friendship, romance, and revenge will take her over the edge and back again.
Place-Names and Landholding in Early Medieval England
This book discusses how various recurrent early medieval place-names ending in tun might have originated in response to social, economic, political or religious factors. It considers specifically whether these names might, as some scholars have suggested, reflect a possible function related to one or more aspects of early medieval society but which is not apparent from their etymology. It examines studies of names such as Stretton, Eaton, Burton and Kingston and questions recent theories around suggested functions for these places. The author proposes that most of these recurrent compounds named a land unit distinguished by a simple topographical feature or by the name or status of the landholder rather than by a presumed function. She also considers the hypothesis that the perceived concentration of certain recurrent names in clusters, largely in the central and southern regions of England, was the result of a deliberate designation of these places to provide a function in the strategic defence and administration of Mercia during the eighth and early ninth centuries, with some other kingdoms, especially Wessex, following the Mercian example. She has sought to explain why there is not enough evidence to substantiate, or disprove, the hypothesis about clusters of ‘functional’ place-names and at the same time to show that there is enough evidence to cast doubt on that hypothesis and the nature of the data used to support it. The meaning and uses of tun, regarded as the commonest element in English place-names, are part of the argument presented in this book. In the light of archaeological and related research in recent decades, some of the past translations of tun are no longer tenable. This book argues for a general meaning of a defined area of land, held as a unit with rights over the land and its people. The widespread use of tun reflects a society where landholding was essential to survival and for wealth and power.
