A Slip of the Keyboard
Terry Pratchett has earned a place in the hearts of readers the world over with his bestselling Discworld series – but in recent years he has become equally well-known and respected as an outspoken campaigner for causes including Alzheimer’s research and animal rights. A Slip of the Keyboard brings together for the first time the finest examples of Pratchett’s non fiction writing, both serious and surreal: from musings on mushrooms to what it means to be a writer (and why banana daiquiris are so important); from memories of Granny Pratchett to speculation about Gandalf’s love life, and passionate defences of the causes dear to him.
With all the humour and humanity that have made his novels so enduringly popular, this collection brings Pratchett out from behind the scenes of the Discworld to speak for himself – man and boy, bibliophile and computer geek, champion of hats, orang-utans and Dignity in Dying.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
Princ a krása zeme / A Prince and the Beauty of the Earth
Kniha Princ a krása zeme prináša rozprávky z vyše tridsiatky krajín, v ktorých pôsobili slovenskí vojaci od roku 1993 v misiách a operáciách na podporu mieru, pričom rozprávky sú publikované v slovenčine aj v angličtine a ilustroval ich renomovaný výtvarník Martin Kellenberger.
Knihu vydala Vojenská podporná nadácia Bratislava a zostavil ju správca nadácie Milan Gajdoš. Prerozprávali ich vojaci, ktorí v zahraničnom nasadení pôsobili, no aj diplomati, novinári, charitatívni pracovníci či cestovatelia. Súčasťou 378 stranovej knihy je príloha s údajmi o slovenskom zastúpení v jednotlivých operáciách medzinárodného krízového manažmentu, ktorú zostavil publicista Pavol Vitko.
Na ilustráciu: rozprávka Začarované bociany je z Iraku, Dedova rada z Lotyšska, o tom že Dom bez ženy je ako pec bez cesta sa hovorí v rozprávke z Afganistanu, cyperská rozprávka má názov Hodža Aslant – drevorubač, Muž, ktorý robí dobro je zo Sýrie, Hadí kráľ a statočný roľník Vasva z Ugandy, Princ a jeho osud je z Egypta, Teklova koza z Eritrei, Malin Kundag a jeho mamka z Východného Timoru, Kráľov roh je zo Severného Macedónska, Starenka bylinkárka a zlodej z Kuvajtu, Dievča – žabka z Chorvátska a trebárs Princ a krása zeme je z Kosova. Dodajme, že slovenská rozprávka je autorská, napísal ju Ľubomír Feldek a volá sa Keď Pán Boh a Svätý Peter chodili po Slovensku. Ľubomír Feldek pre deti jednu z rozprávok aj prebásnil. Jej názov je Prečo sa opica podobá človeku a pochádza z Mali.

The Queen of Nothing – A semmi királynője (A levegő népe 3.)
A hatalmat sokkal könnyebb megragadni, mint megtartani.
Jude alaposan megtanulta ezt a leckét, amikor mérhetetlen hatalomért cserébe lemondott a gonosz király, Cardan feletti uralmáról.
Tündérfölde száműzött halandó királynéjaként elveszettnek érzi magát, a semmi királynőjének. Ám megfogadja, hogy mindent visszaszerez, amit elvettek tőle. Az esély kétszínű ikertestvére, a szintén halandó Taryn képében érkezik meg, akinek az élete veszélybe kerül.
Jude kénytelen vállalni a kockázatot, és visszatérni a veszedelmes tündérudvarba, valamint szembenézni a Cardan iránti érzéseivel, hogy megmentse a nővére életét. Csakhogy sok minden megváltozott Elfhonban a távozása óta. Háború közeleg. Jude beférkőzik az ellenséges tábor mélyére, és ő maga is belekeveredik a véres politikai csatározásba.
Amikor egy eddig szunnyadó, ám igen erős átok elszabadul, pánik söpör végig a vidéken, és Jude választani kényszerül a becsvágya és az embersége között…
A levegő népe trilógiájának várva várt, döbbenetes fináléja.
The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air
"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.

With the cold weather setting in and the stress of the Christmas holiday approaching, the Heffleys decide to escape to a tropical island resort for some much-needed rest and relaxation.
A few days in paradise should do wonders for Greg and his frazzled family.

Can their trip be saved, or will this island getaway end in disaster?

The Wicked King The Folk of the Air 2
I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.

But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed. Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all . . .

The Diary of a CEO
This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons. This is a book about something much more permanent.
At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.
These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.
They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.
These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started?

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Chalice of the Gods
The original heroes from The Lightning Thief are reunited for their biggest challenge yet: getting Percy to college when the gods are standing in his way. After saving the world multiple times, Percy Jackson is hoping to have a normal senior year. Unfortunately, the gods aren't quite done with him.
Percy will have to fulfil three quests in order to get the necessary three letters of recommendation from Mount Olympus for college. The first quest is to help Zeus's cup-bearer retrieve his goblet before it falls into the wrong hands. Can Percy, Grover, and Annabeth find it in time? Readers new to Percy Jackson and fans who have been awaiting this reunion for more than a decade will delight equally in this latest hilarious take on Greek mythology.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.
