Into the Fading Twilight - Starlight Grove 2
She’s known nothing but darkness for 413 days… but he’ll burn down the world to save her.
After a year in captivity, Nova Monroe is back in Starlight Grove?but she’s not the same woman who vanished. She lives on the edge, chases adrenaline, and refuses to be caged again. Cliff diving. Mountain biking. Anything to feel alive and outrun the memories clawing at her.
But the single dad with shadows of his own won’t let her face it alone. Especially when she finds herself needing a place to stay.
Kol Archer has made it his mission to protect her. As a Forest Service investigator, he’s no stranger to rugged terrain or battling for control. But nothing prepared him for Nova?her fire, her fight, the way she makes him feel something he thought was lost.
The closer they get, the more dangerous things become. Someone doesn’t want Nova to move on. And Kol is determined to stop them?no matter the cost.
Because for the first time in forever, Nova’s not just surviving. She’s learning how to live, how to trust, and reminding Kol he can, too. But as darkness looms, the truth could destroy them both…
Into the Fading Twilight is a single dad, roommates-to-lovers, small-town romance about a woman starting over and a man who will do anything to keep her safe. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
A Sudden Flicker of Light
From cinema's most distinguished and 'The best writer on film in our time' (Michael Ondaatje) comes a masterful assessment of the whole sweep of movie history
'The movies traded on the liberation of secret desires-drive that car as fast as you can; turn your humble abode into a palace; conquer all the mean spirits in the world; be as free and winsome as the Tramp yet as rich as Charlie … Every lowlife can be a Corleone.'
Every flicker of light has its shadow. In this masterful reassessment of the whole arc of movie history, David Thomson, film's wisest and most penetrating critic, shows us how cinema has entranced and transported us, but also profoundly changed us.
From the earliest days of the first picture shows to the screens of today, Thomson glories in the great movies. Sharp, arresting readings of films from Metropolis to Rear Window, The Godfather to Anora can be found in these pages. Yet there is unease, too, at how cinema suckered us into a fantasy neverland that only looks like life. Hungry for spectacle and happy endings, submitting to voyeurism and villainy, we have let films change the way we experience reality; a habit of passivity that may have even betrayed our culture and our politics.
As Thomson says, 'This is our history, and our show.' The result of a lifetime of immersion and reflection, this book is a reckoning and a testament from a writer who sees like no other.
Communion
From the bestselling author of Hillbilly Elegy – an intimate account of why Vice President JD Vance strayed from the Christianity of his youth and what led him back to faith. Communion is a spiritual exploration of what it means to be a Christian in all the seasons of life JD Vance has experienced – as a child, a young man, a husband, a father and a leader. Picking up in some ways where Hillbilly Elegy left off, Communion recounts how Vance's pursuit of material privileges ultimately led him into a secular wilderness. Communion reveals how Vance regained his faith and discusses his conversion to Catholicism, how his faith guides his work in public life, and how it shapes his thoughts about the future.

THE DARK AND DELICIOUS CONCLUSION TO THE BOOKTOK SMASH HIT!
****
Leucosia has gained a new queen... and a new monster.
King Nemea is dead by Imogen's own hand, leaving Eusia with one less devoted servant-but the deity's strength has only grown. Now, she can access Imogen's power freely, and what's worse, Imogen's first taste of Eusia's grotesque magic has left her hungry for more.
Meanwhile, Theodore's wedding to Halla is imminent, and Imogen plans to steal his bride and use her to get to the blighted island where Eusia's body resides. But the journey proves more difficult and the waters more treacherous than she could have imagined, tempting Imogen to descend into her magic's darkness. As she fights to balance her feelings for the handsome king with her mission, and draws nearer to severing her bond with Eusia, Imogen realizes that ending Eusia might cost her more than she had ever planned on giving

Žirinka a Zebrička hľadajú riešenia
Kniha o Žirinke, Zebričke a ich kamarátoch prináša príbehy o hľadaní riešení aj tam, kde sa to môže zdať nemožné. Každodenné situácie plné emócií – hnevu, smútku, radosti, závisti, zahanbenia, odmietnutia, strachu či neistoty – a tiež vzťahov, kamarátstiev a prijímania odlišností ukazujú, že sa oplatí nevzdávať.
Sedem citlivých príbehov v sebe nesie posolstvá empatie, láskavosti, vzájomnej pomoci, povzbudenia a spolupatričnosti. Každý príbeh dopĺňajú zábavné hľadacie úlohy pre deti, otázky na rozhovor a odborné odporúčania pre rodičov, ktoré podporujú spoločné čítanie a porozumenie detskému svetu.
Kniha vznikla v spolupráci s psychologičkami a špeciálnymi pedagogičkami a odborníci ju odporúčajú ako cennú pomôcku pre deti aj rodičov. Podporuje rozvoj emočnej inteligencie, empatie, spolupráce a pomáha budovať pevné puto medzi dospelým a dieťaťom.
V príbehoch sa deti stretnú s témami:
- ako sa zastať kamaráta (výsmech a šikana),
- ako pomôcť druhému (deti často vidia aj to, čo dospelí prehliadajú),
- že cítiť strach a neistotu je v poriadku (budovanie bezpečia a dôvery),
- čo sa môže stať, keď nepovieme pravdu (klamstvo má rôzne podoby),
- porovnávanie a súťaženie (ak je jeden víťaz, druhý nemusí byť porazený),
- čo tvorí skutočnú rodinu (príbeh o tom, ako sa zo zebry a žirafy stali sestry).
Kniha je voľným pokračovaním titulu Žirinka a Zebrička spoznávajú emócie. Časť príbehov sa odohráva v školskom prostredí, preto je vhodná aj pre deti 1. stupňa základných škôl.
Bohové a monstra 2: Trůn zavržených bohů
Dianna, které ublížili tím nejhorším způsobem, truchlí a je posedlá touhou pomstít se těm, kdo ji zradili. Jakožto legendární Ig’Morruthen žízní po krvi a dokáže přijmout jakoukoliv podobu. Její pravá podoba je však ze všech nejděsivější. A jak přichází o poslední kousky lidskosti, rozhodne se přijmout svou temnou stranu a spálit světy. Samkiel, nesmrtelný bůh, byl kdysi zapřisáhlý nepřítel Dianny a jejího druhu. Avšak jedině on sám teď odmítá uvěřit, že se z ženy, kterou miluje, stal netvor, kterého vidí všichni ostatní – a udělá cokoliv, co je v jeho moci, aby ji zachránil před ní samotnou, i kdyby to znamenalo, že ji navždy ztratí. Teď, když všechny sféry ohrožuje Kadenovo vojsko a na obzoru jsou myriády nových hrozeb, si Samkiel nemůže dovolit polevit v ostražitosti. Jen on dokáže Diannu odtáhnout zpět od okraje zatracení. A zatímco Diannina krvežíznivost jen roste, dochází mu čas, aby sebe i ji zachránil.
The Fabric of our Souls - Lelkünk vékony szövete
Huszonhat éves vagyok, és meg akarok halni
Amikor élve felébredek a kórházban, és a fivérem fölöttem sír, ez a pillanat mindent megváltoztat. Elintézte, hogy felvegyenek a Harlow Szentélybe, ebbe a szokatlan rehabilitációs központba, ahol újszerű módszereket alkalmaznak, egy intézetbe, aminek legendás a múltja. Itt ismerkedem meg a szobatársammal, akinek kegyetlen a tekintete és a humorérzéke az enyémnél is morbidabb. Különös vonzalom támad közöttünk.
Én a halál után sóvárgok, ő az élet után.
Képes-e két ilyen ember meggyógyítani egymást?
Sbornaya
Sbornaya takes you on an evocative journey through the Soviet Union’s final decade – politically, economically and culturally unravelling – as seen through the lens of its football world. The book explores the history, politics and geopolitical dimensions of the game: how it began, how it evolved and how it became the country’s greatest sporting passion. It reveals how political machinations and behind-the-scenes manoeuvring disrupted a World Cup squad mid-tournament; how two brilliant scientific minds came together to pioneer technological and scientific breakthroughs at a football club; and the recurring story of the USSR’s underachievement on the world stage despite its vast resources and talent. All of this unfolds under the shadow of a political system that sought to control, manipulate and micro-manage the game at every level. It is a football story like no other.

Homesick
From the author of the Orwell Prize-winner SHOW ME THE BODIES: HOW WE LET GRENFELL HAPPEN, the gripping story of how housing defines a city's past, present and futureA Waterstones Book of the Year 2025'Apps set the gold standard with his Grenfell coverage. With Homesick, he dismantles the sham of UK housing policy – razor-sharp, stylish, and morally unflinching.' Darren McGarveyIn London, only those with vast cash deposits can get on the property ladder, private rents have spiralled out of control and the wait for social housing is measured in decades. Once vibrant communities are being uprooted, schools are closing down and homelessness is rampant. It was not always like this. In the 1980s, builders and nurses could afford family-sized homes, there was abundant social housing and long-term security for private renters. Tracing the last forty years of housing policy, Peter Apps examines this transformation, following a diverse group of Londoners as their fortunes rise and fall across the decades amid the economic forces sweeping through the city. With clear-eyed urgency, he reveals what will happen when a generation of renters retires and climate change brings fire and flood to a city unprepared for extremes. He also gives us reason to hope, exploring the ways London can transform again: from a market for private profit to a place that once more offers permanence, safety and opportunity for its citizens. A place to call home.

Nicola Harding
Having moved around a lot as a child, Harding has always been interested in creating homes that evoke a sense of belonging. After designing several homes for herself, what began as a passion grew organically into a thriving career. Today Harding is known for her quintessentially British, reassuringly familiar interiors that mix traditional charm with rich atmosphere. A sense of meaning comes from deftly weaving together expertly sourced antiques and luxurious fabrics, married with craftsmanship that has a particular significance for example, a supplier who works in a village near where a client grew up, or antiques from local dealers. With a calming, nature-inspired palette, Harding s residential projects embrace English country-house coziness and radiate a warmth that makes each place feel personal and well lived in, while her hospitality commissions are bold and spirited, often inspired by literary or historic characters. This first book delves into Harding s design philosophy, which, at its heart, prioritizes human experience above all else.
