Rules for the Summer
They set rules for the summer - and broke every single one . . .
Renley Gossage has nothing but a struggling candy shop and a dream. She is determined to make it as Cape Meril's confectionary queen with no help, no shortcuts - and definitely no rich men wielding engagement rings and making things messy.
Theo Williams never thought he'd be flying across an ocean to propose to a stranger, but here he is, knocking on Renley's door with a shiny diamond. She's the one person who might be able to stop his life from falling apart, so he's here with a marriage proposal - and more importantly for Renley, a business proposal . . .
The Deal: Theo needs a wife so his stiff-upper-lipped father won't cut him off. Renley needs a financial backer, even if she's too stubborn to admit it.
The Rules: One fake engagement. One summer. Zero romance.
But between collapsing drywall, gossiping neighbours, and the chaotic schemes of Renley's aunt, their forced proximity turns into something dangerously close to real.
Except Renley can't let go of the idea that standing on her own two feet means not accepting help. And Theo's past is about to catch up with him. By the time the candy shop doors reopen, they'll have to decide if this is just a summer fling - or a happily ever after worth breaking the rules for . . .

Svätyne, 2. vydanie
Román Svätyne je o stigmatizácii neplodnosti, o všeobecne akceptovanom násilí na ženách, o rodičovstve a v neposlednom rade aj o smrti. Dej je zasadený do sedemnásteho storočia, ale téma je, žiaľ, vysoko aktuálna aj v tomto storočí, dokonca na Slovensku aj v posledných dňoch. Pokiaľ by autorka neprezradila pár historických súvislostí, príbeh by vo svojej magickosti mohol fungovať aj v bezčasí, na bližšie neurčenom mieste. (Katarína Vargová)
„Ako prvý vás upúta jazyk... Vety a ich skladba majú u Dominiky Madro výrazný rytmus i melodiku. Keď píše, akoby spievala – variuje motívy, využíva silné repetície, mohutné akordy sa v ostrom kontraste striedajú s pokojnejšími lyrickými pasážami. Jazyk ovláda celú knihu a v tomto prípade nie je len prostriedkom, ale ozajstným stavebným materiálom, ktorý nechce byť (a ani nie je) len efektným ornamentom. Autorka slovám verí, verí jazyku, spolieha sa na jeho silu a to všetko prepája očarujúcou obraznosťou.“ (Ján Púček)
„Svätyne sú výrazne špecifickou, baladickou (preto i tragickou) prózou, v ktorej hlasy dvoch ženských postáv (Rodany a Višniačky) dopĺňa Rodanin osudový muž Jašek. Sú príbehom z iného, no aj z nášho sveta, netriviálnym rozprávaním o ne/vere, sexualite, láske a ne/plodnosti, o živote a jeho konci, ktorý môže byť novým začiatkom, zmŕtvychvstaním.“ (Marta Součková)
„Ilustrácie a obálku mala na starosti Lina Šuková a príbeh nádherne dotvárajú. Subtílnosť a geometrická pravidelnosť ornamentov korešponduje s jemnosťou, ale neúprosnosťou písania Dominiky Madro. Svätyne sú presne takým literárnym počinom: neúprosným, na súčasnej slovenskej literárnej scéne neprehliadnuteľným“ (Jaroslava Šaková)
The Library of Flowers
Rooted in memory and steeped in magic, The Library of Flowers is a radiant exploration of family, identity, and the expectations we inherit, perfect for anyone who has ever carried the weight of a legacy-and dared to make it their own.
For centuries, the Hua women have held sway over the courts of emperors and billionaires with their magical perfumes able to stir hearts and ensure fortunes. And in every fifth generation, an eldest daughter is born with the rarest gift of all: the ability to summon true love.
As a long-awaited fifth daughter, Lucy was supposed to be the miracle her exacting mother had been waiting for. But when her magic failed, Lucy fled Vancouver, her legacy, and the expectations that had nearly broken her. Now, years later, she runs a tiny perfume shop tucked away in Toronto's Kensington Market-crafting beautiful, perfectly ordinary scents and keeping her extraordinary past firmly behind her. That is, until a death in the family brings her home...and saddles her with an unwelcome inheritance: the centuries-old Hua family register, brimming with secrets, formulas, and forgotten truths.
As Lucy unravels the stories of the women who came before her-including the mother whose complicated heart she never could understand-she must confront the tangled threads of love, power, and identity...and ask herself whether her magic was ever truly gone, or simply waiting for her to decide for herself what it means to be a daughter of the House of Hua.
Walk
Walking isn't just a leisurely activity or a form of personal transportation. Its far-reaching benefits - not just for physical health, but for mental clarity and emotional well-being, creativity and social connection - make it a vital component of human existence, one that is as essential as breathing and sleeping.
In this book, world-renowned foot and gait specialist, Courtney Conley, and physiotherapist, Milica McDowell, transform our understanding of the importance of one of the simplest and most accessible forms of movement. Drawing on cutting-edge research, evolutionary biology and real-life stories from their practice, they show that walking is one of our most powerful and under-prescribed medicines: revealing why walking speed can predict overall health; how the risk of falls, which has a direct impact on longevity, can be measured by your foot health; and how even the shortest of walks can have profound healing effects.
Filled with practical advice, from simple tips to help with lower back pain, to customizable programs to enhance mobility and fitness, this book is an essential guide to transforming your physical - and mental - health, from the ground up.

Takeshi is a Guard.

A szerelem hangja
Joni Lark megvalósította az álmát: ő az egyik legkeresettebb dalszerző Los Angelesben. Jelenleg azonban alkotói válsággal küzd, a lelkét felemésztő borzalmas űrt semmi nem képes kitölteni.
Amikor visszatér szülővárosába, az észak-karolinai Vienna Shoresba, abban reménykedik, hogy a homok, a tenger és a családja által üzemeltetett zenés klub, a Revelry koncertjei meghozzák számára az ihletet. Ám otthon már semmi sem olyan, mint régen. Legjobb barátnője kerüli, édesanyja emlékei halványulnak, és a Revelryt a bezárás fenyegeti.
Hogyan is tudna egy új dal megírására összpontosítani, amikor körülötte minden szétesik, és semmit sem tehet ellene?
De aztán hirtelen valami egészen különös dolog történik. Új dallam bukkan fel a fejében a semmiből, egy szöveg nélküli töredék, és ezzel egy időben beszélni kezd hozzá egy ellenállhatatlanul csábító hang, amely egy cinikus, súlyos terheket cipelő férfihoz tartozik.
Biztosan csak a túlhajszolt képzelete játszik vele.
Csakhogy a hang tulajdonosa, a nagyon is valóságos és bosszantóan jóképű zenész egyszer csak megjelenik Vienna Shoresban. Látszatra mogorva és idegesítő, semmi köze ahhoz a kedves, megértő és humoros valakihez, akit Joni a fejében hall. Ráadásul terve is van: befejezik a dalt, ami mindkettőjüket kísérti, megszabadulnak a köztük lévő különös telepatikus kapcsolattól, és remélik, hogy közben nem teszik kockára a szívüket.
Mert a dallam, ami nem ereszti őket, talán nem véletlenül talált rájuk.
Volám sa Adam Harper a bol som vrah
Adam Harper, kedysi túlavý nomád, žije dnes bežným životom, ku ktorému patrí stále zamestnanie, rutinné činnosti, koníčky a priatelia, s ktorými raz za čas vyrazí za zábavou. Háčik je však v tom, že to všetko je len súčasťou toho, čo Adam nazýva maskou človeka. V skutočnosti, aj keď dokáže veľmi dobre predstierať emócie, nič necíti. Má rád hudbu, filmy, knihy, šport, a dokonca aj svoje povolanie kuchára. Nedokáže sa však emocionálne viazať na živé bytosti.
Ale to je len prvá časť tajomstva, ktorú maska človeka ukrýva.
Adam je v skutočnosti sériový vrah, a práve teraz zostávajú už len dva dni do chvíle, keď plánuje opäť zabiť.
Lenže keď v dôsledku neočakávaných zvratov zachráni život práve tej, ktorá mala byť jeho obeťou, Adamove zaužívané vzorce sa rúcajú a jeho život mení k nepoznaniu. Zisťuje napríklad, že nie je jediný, kto má tajomstvá, a taktiež, že možno nie je taký vyprahnutý, ako si vždy myslel. Do toho všetkého sa priplieta tajomná osoba z Adamovho susedstva, na ktorú z nejakého dôvodu maska človeka takmer vôbec nezaberá. Navyše je tu Claudia. Mladá žena, ktorá mala byť pôvodne jeho obeťou. Avšak teraz sa stáva osobou, s ktorou sa Adam začne zbližovať viac, než si myslel, že je pre neho možné.

Dekonstructing the Kardashians
From the creator of the viral Kardashian Kolloquium comes a New Media manifesto for the TikTok age - blending theory, cultural analysis and history to explain the meteoric rise of the Kardashians and what their fame reveals about how media functions today. Since 2007, Kim Kardashian and her extended family have mesmerised - and scandalised - the American public. We've been immersed in their social lives, controversies and reality TV exploits, while witnessing the staggering ascent of their multibillion-dollar fashion, beauty and media empire. But the central question remains: why are the Kardashians so famous? And what does their enduring relevance tell us about the media systems that shaped - and were shaped by - the? n Dekonstructing the Kardashians, MJ Corey, creator of the viral social platform Kardashian Kolloquium, delivers more than just the definitive cultural chronicle of the First Family of reality TV. She offers a probing exploration of how media has evolved in the internet age -and how it's reshaping our identities, our attention, and our understanding of reality itself. Part media theory, part cultural critique and part historical deep-dive, Dekonstructing the Kardashians weaves together fifty years of Western media history. Corey shows that the Kardashians aren't just celebrities - they're a mirror of our media moment, offering a key to understanding fame, identity and reality in the digital age.
The Solidarity Economy
The untold story of the role of humanitarian NGOs in building the neoliberal order after empireAfter India gained independence in 1947, Britain reinvented its role in the global economy through nongovernmental aid organizations. Utilizing existing imperial networks and colonial bureaucracy, the nonprofit sector sought an ethical capitalism, one that would equalize relationships between British consumers and Third World producers as the age of empire was ending. The Solidarity Economy examines the role of nonstate actors in the major transformations of the world economy in the postwar era, showing how British NGOs charted a path to neoliberalism in their pursuit of ethical markets. Between the 1950s and 1990s, nonprofits sought to establish an alternative to Keynesianism through their welfare and development programs. Encouraging the fair trade of commodities and goods through microfinance, consumer boycotts, and corporate social responsibility, these programs emphasized decentralization, privatization, and entrepreneurship. Tehila Sasson tells the stories of the activists, economists, politicians, and businessmen who reimagined the marketplace as a workshop for global reform. She reveals how their ideas, though commonly associated with conservative neoliberal policies, were part of a nonprofit-driven endeavor by the liberal left to envision markets as autonomous and humanizing spaces, facilitating ethical relationships beyond the impersonal realm of the state. Drawing on dozens of newly available repositories from nongovernmental, international, national, and business archives, The Solidarity Economy reconstructs the political economy of these markets—from handicrafts and sugar to tea and coffee—shedding critical light on the postimperial origins of neoliberalism.

Who is Government?
Who works for the government and why does their work matter? Michael Lewis, bestselling author of The Big Short and The Fifth Risk, along with an all-star team of writers and storytellers, takes us on a riveting journey into a hidden world'A timely reminder of the quiet dedication and skill of the people who work every day to make this country work' - Barack Obama, President Obama's 2025 Summer ReadsThe government is a vast, complex system that citizens pay for, rebel against, rely upon, dismiss, and celebrate. It’s also our shared resource for addressing the biggest problems of society. And it’s made up of people, mostly unrecognized and uncelebrated, doing work that can be deeply consequential and beneficial to everyone. Michael Lewis invited his favourite writers to find someone doing an interesting job for the government and write about them. The stories they found are unexpected, riveting, and inspiring, including a former coal miner devoted to making mine roofs less likely to collapse, saving thousands of lives; an IRS agent straight out of a crime thriller; and the manager who made the National Cemetery Administration the best-run organization, public or private, in the entire country. Each essay shines a spotlight on the essential behind-the-scenes work of exemplary federal employees. Whether they’re digitizing archives, chasing down cybercriminals, or discovering new planets, these public servants are committed to their work and universally reluctant to take credit. Who is Government? shows how the essential business of government makes our lives possible, and how much it matters.
