Hra bohů 1: Sestup do pekel
Debutový román začínající italské autorky Hazel Riley vyšel poprvé v Itálii v roce 2023.
První román z doposud třídílné série z prostředí americké univerzity zaujme svým neotřelým příběhem. V něm se splétá současný život vysokoškoláků se světem vlivných a bohatých, avšak bezskrupulózních a nelítostných postav, které tahají za nitky v pozadí. Vše je ozvláštněné nádechem řecké mytologie a okořeněné pořádnou dávkou romantiky a žhavých scén. Výborně vystižená psychologie mladých dospělých přispívá k věrohodnosti celku a navzdory rozsáhlosti knihy čtenáře okamžitě vtáhne do příběhu. Hlavní postava, zprvu obyčejná dívka z chudších poměrů, se postupně stává žádoucí hvězdou, o kterou se vede nelítostný boj. Odvěká otázka, kolik jsme ochotni obětovat pro lásku a jak moc dokážeme riskovat pro milovanou osobu, zde opět získává na naléhavosti.

Boszorkánysüveg-műhely 4.
A boszorkánysüveg-műhely tanoncai új vizsga előtt állnak: vajon Agattnak és Riche-nek sikerül átkísérnie a tengervészmadarakat a Kígyógerinc-barlangon? Az út egyszerűnek tűnik, de a váratlan, mágikus csapdákat nem könnyű legyőzni, és a csapatot lassítja egy kívülálló tanonc is, aki már kétszer elbukott a próbán. S ha mindez nem lenne elég, egy karimás kalapos is lesben áll az árnyékok között...
Tinillem és még egy kis plusz
A könyvben különböző karakterek segítségével ismerkedhetünk meg az illemszabályokkal. Könnyed nyelvezete és stílusa hamar magával ragad. A könyv komoly témáját ellensúlyozzák a képek, jegyzetek, de nem viccelik el azt.
A köszönés, bemutatkozás, tegezés-magázás témától kezdve, a társaságban, illetve asztalnál való helyes viselkedésen át, az élet számos területén előforduló helyzetekig segítséget nyújt, hogyan is illik viselkedni.
A könyv témakörökre van osztva, mégis olyan, mintha egy képregényt olvasnánk. Ha elkezdjük lapozgatni, biztosan nem állunk meg az utolsó oldalig.
A végén egy kvíz segítségével leellenőrizhetjük tudásunkat.
Természetesen nem csak tiniknek szól a könyv: mindenki találhat számára új információt ebben a kis illemtankönyvben.

Half His Age
THE SUNDAY TIMES NO.1 BESTSELLER
Half His Age is a highly anticipated, funny, sad, thrilling novel about sex, class, desire, and power - and the (often misguided) lengths we'll go to to get what we want, from Jennette McCurdy, the three-million copy bestselling author of I'm Glad My Mom Died.
'SHOCKING, HONEST AND UNSPARING' SUNDAY TIMES STYLE
'A HILARIOUS AND UNCOMFORTABLE TRIUMPH' GUARDIAN
'EERIE, UNSETTLING AND BELIEVABLE' GILLIAN FLYNN, AUTHOR OF GONE GIRL
Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Hurting. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all? Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher.
Mr Korgy, with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn't know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films that she doesn't? Or are they actually kindred spirits, sharing the same filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it's just enough that he sees her when no one else does.
Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is an incisive study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles in her effort to be seen, to be desired and to be loved.
Take It from Me
From the literary agent behind some of today's most successful authors comes a narrative guide geared specifically to the needs of aspiring and working nonfiction writers, demystifying the world of publishing and offering a practical roadmap to getting your book published.
"An invaluable resource."-Clint Smith, author of How the Word is Passed
"I really, really wish I had this book when I was starting out."-Robert Kolker, author of Hidden Valley Road
Alia Hanna Habib remembers what it was like to be on the outside of the publishing world, looking in. Arriving in New York, a first-generation college student with a love of reading and loads of ambition, she had no idea how to break into the business of books. Now, years later, in her career as an agent, she hears from prospective clients who, whether they're experts at the top of their fields or wholly new to the writing game, consider finding success in publishing to be a mysterious and daunting endeavor. Ever determined to flout the stereotype of agent as gatekeeper, however, Habib is prepared to hand emerging writers the key.
Drawing on wisdom from her star-studded list of clients, including Hanif Abdurraqib, Judy Batalion, Merve Emre, Nikole Hannah-Jones, and Clint Smith, Habib provides context and clarity to each step of the publishing process, from the germination of a book idea to finding an agent to represent it, from crafting an engaging proposal to navigating the perils of publicity. Readers will find real-life samples of her authors' pitch letters and book proposals, as well as templates writers can use when querying agents or promoting their work on social media. She also incorporates the advice of trusted industry colleagues-attorneys, accountants, editors, publishers, publicists, and more-gifting readers with a full team of experts to answer all the questions they've had about the publishing world, but were too afraid, or didn't know, to ask.
Essential for both the aspiring novice and the seasoned professional, Take It from Me is a guidebook writers will return to again and again. At times laugh-out-loud funny, at others brutally honest about her own experiences in publishing and in life, Habib offers a clear-eyed look at the challenges facing today's aspiring nonfiction writers and then gives them the comprehensive, expert guidance they need to put those roadblocks in the rearview mirror.

Life & Fable
A line of pain runs through generations of families… until one generation stops to question the ancestral forces behind the door. In Life & Fable Guislaine Vincent explores archetypal patterns in the ancestral background of her family's storytelling, peeling away the layers to discover a self in myth and fable. As the narrative unfolds, it’s the implacable presence of childhood that recurs, not only in events, but in how events reveal the self. Mektoub, my father would say: it is written. From a great grandfather found in the deserts of Syria and named after the monastery that takes him in to the pain of losing a child; from a childhood of 14 schools across multiple countries to training as a Jungian Psychoanalyst, this is a life story that asks deep questions about who we are and how we peel back reality to find the truth in fables. A story of resilience and the epiphany of how powerful it is to have a name.

Lies on the Serpent's Tongue
Everybody lies. And in knowing their lies, I become the keeper of their secrets. As Caball Hollow slowly recovers from a tumultuous summer, the James family must also come to terms with their own newly revealed secrets. 18-year-old Rowan James has spent her whole life harbouring unpleasant truths - that’s what happens when you can smell lies on the teller’s breath - and building walls around herself to block them out. Like her younger sister, Linden, who can taste the feelings of others, Rowan has long struggled with her gift, which has taught her that everyone distorts the truth, and no one is who they seem to be. So when her old rival Hadrian Fitch shows up on her front porch - bloodied and bruised and asking for the kind of help only she can provide - her first instinct is distrust. Except Hadrian’s attack isn’t the only strange occurrence. Now small items are disappearing, but rather than report the losses the owners act as if their missing things never existed. Rumors of a new monster prowling the Hollow begin to swirl. But how can Rowan smoke out the culprit in a town full of secrets? And worse, how can Rowan trust beautiful, solemn Hadrian when every other word he speaks has the distinct burnt smell of a lie?
