The House of Silk
THE GAME'S AFOOT...November 1890. London is gripped by a merciless winter. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are enjoying tea by the fire when an agitated gentleman arrives unannounced at 221b Baker Street. He begs Holmes for help, telling the unnerving story of a scar-faced man with piercing eyes who has stalked him in recent weeks. Intrigued, Holmes and Watson find themselves drawn into a series of puzzling and sinister events, stretching from the gas-lit streets of London to the teeming criminal underworld of Boston. As they delve deeper into the case, they stumble across a whispered phrase "the House of Silk": a mysterious entity and foe more deadly than any Holmes has encountered, and a conspiracy that threatens to tear apart the very fabric of society...

The Night House
In the wake of his parents' tragic deaths in a house fire, fourteen-year-old Richard Elauved has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle in the remote, insular town of Ballantyne.
Richard quickly earns a reputation as an outcast, and when a classmate named Tom goes missing, everyone suspects the new, angry boy is responsible for his disappearance. No one believes him when he says the telephone booth out by the edge of the woods sucked Tom into the receiver like something out of a horror movie.
No one, that is, except Karen, a beguiling fellow outsider who encourages Richard to pursue clues the police refuse to investigate. He traces the number that Tom prank called from the phone booth to an abandoned house in the Black Mirror Wood. There he catches a glimpse of a terrifying face in the window.
And then the voices begin to whisper in his ear . . .
You know who I am.
She's going to burn. The one you love is going to burn. There's not a thing you can do about it.
When another classmate disappears, Richard must find a way to prove his innocence-and preserve his sanity-as he grapples with the dark magic that is possessing Ballantyne and pursuing his destruction.
Then again, Richard may not be the most reliable narrator of his own story.

House of the Deaf Man
Alfonz Trnovsky, a genial and respected general practitioner in Breany, a small (fictitious) town in western Slovakia, spent his whole life pretending to be radiantly happy and contented, while the reality was quite different. He turned a deaf ear to his conscience as the 20th century hurtled by: four political regimes, the Holocaust, the political trials of the 1950s, the secret police before and after the 1968 Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia...and the women he loved. But whose are the bones his son accidentally stumbles on buried in the garden? As he sets out to unravel this mystery, the son discovers other skeletons in his father's cupboard. His quest includes a detour to the Prado in Madrid, where the father's favourite Goya paintings, the Black Series, are now exhibited after being removed from the walls of its original location, known as the Casa del Sordo (House of the Deaf Man).

The Psychology of Money
Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.
Money-investing, personal finance, and business decisions-is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.
In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

Vražda v Mena House
Vitajte v luxusnom hoteli Mena House – žiarivom klenote v rozpálenom centre Káhiry! Schádzajú sa tu bohatí cestovatelia z celého sveta, aby vďaka noblesným večierkom a dobrodružným výletom za miestnymi pamätihodnosťami zabudli na dozvuky prvej svetovej vojny. V tieni paliem a múrov hotela však na prominentných hostí číha nebezpečenstvo...
Píše sa rok 1926 a mladá vdova Jane Wunderlyová sa vyberie s tetou Millie na dovolenku do Egypta. Hoci by jej teta rada našla nápadníka, nezávislá Jane javí väčší záujem o pyramídy v Gize než o dvorenie šarmantných cudzincov. Napriek tomu sa nevyhne spoločnosti príťažlivého pána Redversa, na ktorom jej však čosi nesedí. A nielen na ňom. Zdá sa, že viacerí hostia v hoteli Mena House čosi skrývajú.
Patrí k nim aj očarujúca Anna Staintonová, ktorá dáva jasne najavo, že sa s nikým nemieni deliť o obdiv a miesto na výslní – a najmä nie s Jane. Tá na seba nechtiac strhne všetku pozornosť v okamihu, keď sa ocitne nad mŕtvym telom svojej samozvanej rivalky.
Odrazu je v stávke nielen Janina povesť, ale aj život. Zákony cudzej krajiny sú neúprosné a mladá Američanka musí dokázať, že je nevinná. Miestna polícia sa s vyšetrovaním neponáhľa, a tak sa Jane rozhodne na vlastnú päsť vypátrať, kto by mohol mať motív na spáchanie takej brutálnej vraždy. Môže sa spoľahnúť na záhadného pána Redversa, ktorý má akosi priveľa tajomstiev? Jane si tým vôbec nie je istá, no nesmie váhať pridlho, pretože počet obetí v hoteli stúpa ako púštna horúčava...

Known to locals only as “Ben,” the bearded and robed offworlder shares nothing of his past and goes through great pains to remain an outsider. But when violence erupts between some of Tatooine’s farmers and a tribe of marauding Tusken Raiders, Ben finds himself drawn into the conflict.

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.

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.
