*The limited deluxe edition includes inside printing artwork* Featuring the love story of the next generation of the beloved and iconic Off-Campus couples from The Deal and The Mistake - coming to TV on Amazon Prime in May... New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy returns with her signature heat and humor for a Briar universe standalone romance - where one unforgettable summer changes everything. Join us at the Logan family lake house in Tahoe... After a brutal breakup, college junior Blake Logan escapes to her family's lake house in Tahoe, determined to shut out the world. Her plan is simple: no men, no drama. Until Wyatt Graham shows up. Four years older and far too good at getting under her skin, Wyatt is the living embodiment of a "bad idea," and the guy who shattered her pride when she confessed her crush at sixteen. With his music career stalled, Wyatt has come to Tahoe for inspiration. The last thing he expects is to find it with Blake. He's spent years keeping his distance, convinced he's all wrong for her, but she's no longer the innocent girl he once knew. She's confident, captivating, and impossible to ignore. And the slow-burning tension between them? It's catching fire fast. They both know this can't last, but one reckless kiss turns into another, and soon they're tangled in something that feels dangerously like more. Just as they finally give in to the pull, tragedy tears them apart, leaving their hearts in pieces. But forgetting that one, nearly perfect summer? Not a chance. And when fate brings them together again, Blake and Wyatt must decide if this is a second chance...or the final verse. |

Powerful researchers want answers… and some of them are far more interested in her DNA than what she wants. He's determined to protect her without claiming her.

As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships—but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor—and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope. New Movie Coming Soon from Amazon MGM Studios |

That they will own the land their father gave them.” “I live for you,” I say sadly. Eo kisses my cheek. “Then you must live for more.” Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations.

Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for power.  He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society’s ruling class.

And it's a win-win: Beau gets a break from his concerned family's prying, and Bailey gets a chance to shed her family's reputation while she saves up to ditch town for good. All she has to do is wear his ring, follow his lead, and pretend she can't keep her hands off him in public. But it's what happens between them in private that blurs all those carefully drawn lines. It's what transpires behind closed doors that doesn't feel like pretending at all. This engagement was supposed to be for show. This agreement? It has an end date. Beau once told Bailey he'd never fall in love. Yet, here she is, head over heels for her fake fiancé. FEELING HOPELESS AFTER THE END OF CHESTNUT SPRINGS?

22. Fire and Blood - George R.R. Martin & Doug Wheatley
|
|||
|
The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for HBO’s Game of Thrones .   With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally bestselling author George R. R. Martin , this is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros.   Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire and Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.   What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why did it become so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What is the origin of Daenerys’s three dragon eggs? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed.   With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire and Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros. |

Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now? Monique is not exactly on top of the world.

Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career. Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the '80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a mesmerizing journey through the splendour of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means and what it costs to face the truth.   |
26. Näkökulman vaihtamisen taito - Antti S. Mattila
|

|
”Ihmisiä eivät järkytä asiat, vaan heidän uskomuksensa niistä.” – Epiktetos (n. 55–135 jKr.) Jo antiikin Kreikassa filosofit pyrkivät näkökulman vaihtamisen avulla kehittämään kykyään säilyttää mielentyyneytensä missä olosuhteissa tahansa. Elämässä eteen tulevien tilanteiden tarkastelu erilaisista – ja usein yllättävistäkin – näkökulmista helpottaa kaikkea sosiaalista kanssakäymistä. Toisten ajattelutavan ymmärtäminen ja omista pinttyneistä mielipiteistä luopuminen on paitsi merkki joustavuudesta myös henkisestä sopeutumiskyvystä. Niin ikään ongelmien luova ratkaisu sekä työ- että yksityiselämässä edellyttää tahtoa kyseenalaistaa tutut ja turvalliset kaavat. Näkökulman vaihtamisen taito  on yleistajuinen tietokirja kaikille oman ajattelunsa kehittäjille. Käytännön esimerkit valaisevat, kuinka kenellä tahansa on jokapäiväinen mahdollisuus ratkaista oman elämänsä Gordionin solmut. Lääketieteen tohtori Antti S. Mattila on jo toistakymmentä vuotta soveltanut, kehittänyt ja opettanut näkökulman vaihtamisen taitoa käytännössä sekä kirjoittanut aiheesta lukuisia asiantuntija-artikkeleita. |

Editorial Reviews "The love is intense with the steamy hot sex these two have you can't go wrong." –Panty Dropping Book Blog 5 STAR REVIEW "My heart was pounding hard in my chest, hands shaking....you know it's a good book when you feel! Awesome book." –Hooks and Books Blog "Everyone once and awhile the hero in the book is so sexy, possessive and sweet that you know he will become your new book boyfriend; Chase is my new book boyfriend. I will suggest a glass of wine and a change of panties after reading both books!" –Books and Beyond Fifty Shades "You will have anxiety, warm feelings, and moments that make you squirm in your seat. How can you not feel connected to the characters when they are so well written? Simple answer, you can't." –Give Me Books Synopsis I’m a magnet for evil and controlling men. Chase, my big business tycoon and love of my life, thinks he can protect me…he can’t. No one can. It became clear far too late how serious my stalker was, that his threats weren’t idle. He proved more than once that he would do what it takes, that there were no stakes too high to his sick and twisted games and delusions of worship. We should have been better prepared. The roses, images, lingerie soaked in his seed, even his calling card written in blood didn’t penetrate. I had faith that my love could make it go away, that eventually he’d be caught. I was wrong. *** In the second highly anticipated erotic suspense novel in the Trinity Trilogy, MIND digs deep into the heart and psyche of Gillian and her stalker through dueling POVs. While Chase and Gillian plan their wedding, follow them and the entire gang as the stalker acts out his revenge and plots his attack on Gillian, Chase, and their friends. This book can be considered dark, erotic, and thrilling. As in Body (Trinity Trilogy Book 1) the issue of domestic violence plays heavily in the storyline, and Gillian experiences many disturbing flashbacks of the past, alongside tragedy the stalker brings to the present. There is also a lot of love, devotion, and friendship. Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language, graphic sexual content, and themes that some may find disturbing. MIND is book 2 of a three-part trilogy. Body (Trinity Trilogy - Book 1) must be read prior to reading MIND. |

41. Thinking in Systems - Donella Meadows & Diana Wright
|

|
The classic book on systems thinking—with more than half a million copies sold worldwide! “This is a fabulous book… This book opened my mind and reshaped the way I think about investing.”— Forbes “A modern classic”— The New Yorker In the years following her role as the lead author of the international bestseller, Limits to Growth —the first book to show the consequences of unchecked growth on a finite planet—Donella Meadows remained a pioneer of environmental and social analysis until her untimely death in 2001. Thinking in Systems is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. Edited by the Sustainability Institute’s Diana Wright, this essential primer brings systems thinking out of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world, showing readers how to develop the systems-thinking skills that thought leaders across the globe consider critical for 21st-century life. Some of the biggest problems facing the world—war, hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation—are essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others, because even seemingly minor details have enormous power to undermine the best efforts of too-narrow thinking. While readers will learn the conceptual tools and methods of systems thinking, the heart of the book is grander than methodology. Donella Meadows was known as much for nurturing positive outcomes as she was for delving into the science behind global dilemmas. She reminds readers to pay attention to what is important, not just what is quantifiable, to stay humble, and to stay a learner. In a world growing ever more complicated, crowded, and interdependent, Thinking in Systems helps readers avoid confusion and helplessness, the first step toward finding proactive and effective solutions. “ Thinking in Systems is required reading for anyone hoping to run a successful company, community, or country. Learning how to think in systems is now part of change-agent literacy. And this is the best book of its kind.”—Hunter Lovins |

Scandal, secrets and bawdy photographs are uncovered when the wife of a politician is murdered. Untangle the lies with Cleo and her friends and find the killer. When Harry Armitage passes an investigation to Cleo involving adultery, they both think it will end in divorce.

'Powerful and gripping... To have read it is to have consulted a first draft of the structural plan of the human psyche ... a glittering tour de force' Spectator Why do we laugh? What makes memories fade? Why do people believe in ghosts? From the acclaimed author of Enlightenment Now and Better Angels of Our Nature, How the Mind Works explores every aspect of mental life, showing that our minds are not a mystery, but a system of organs of computation designed by natural selection. 'Pinker's objective in this erudite account is to explore the nature and history of the human mind ... He explores computations and evolutions, and then considers how the mind lets us "see, think, feel, interact, and pursue higher callings like art, religion and philosophy' Sunday Times |

What I ask myself even now is whether I should have picked up the truth any faster than I did, which is to say not fast enough . . . When a glamorous red head wishes to locate the son she put up for adoption thirty-two years ago, it seems like an easy two hundred bucks for private investigator Kinsey Millhone. But when a cop tells her she was paid with marked bills, and Kinsey's client is nowhere to be found, it becomes apparent this mystery woman has something to hide. Riled, Kinsey won't stop until she's found out who fooled her and why. Meanwhile, the widow of the recently murdered P. I. – and Kinsey's old friend – Pete Wolinsky, needs help with her IRS audit.

It soon leads her to an unhinged man with a catalogue of ruined lives left in his wake. And despite the devastation, there isn't a single conviction to his name. It seems this sociopath knows exactly how to cause chaos without leaving a trace. As Kinsey delves deeper into the investigation she quickly becomes the next target of this tormentor.

50. From Strength to Strength - Arthur C. Brooks
|
|||
|
The roadmap for finding purpose, meaning, and success as we age, from bestselling author, Harvard professor, and the  Atlantic's  happiness columnist Arthur Brooks. Many of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging. But the truth is, the greater our achievements and our attachment to them, the more we notice our decline, and the more painful it is when it occurs. What can we do, starting now, to make our older years a time of happiness, purpose, and yes, success? At the height of his career at the age of 50, Arthur Brooks embarked on a seven-year journey to discover how to transform his future from one of disappointment over waning abilities into an opportunity for progress.  From Strength to Strength  is the result, a practical roadmap for the rest of your life. Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness. Read this book and you, too, can go from strength to strength. |

52. Einstein's Dreams - Alan Lightman
|
|||
|
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic explores the connections between science and art, the process of creativity, and ultimately the fragility of human existence. “A magical, metaphysical realm ... Captivating, enchanting, delightful.” — The New York Times Einstein’s Dreams is a fictional collage of stories dreamed by Albert Einstein in 1905, about time, relativity and physics. As the defiant but sensitive young genius is creating his theory of relativity, a new conception of time, he imagines many possible worlds. In one, time is circular, so that people are fated to repeat triumphs and failures over and over. In another, there is a place where time stands still, visited by lovers and parents clinging to their children. In another, time is a nightingale, sometimes trapped by a bell jar. Now translated into thirty languages, Einstein’s Dreams has inspired playwrights, dancers, musicians, and painters all over the world. In poetic vignettes, it explores the connections between science and art, the process of creativity, and ultimately the fragility of human existence. |
53. More and More and More - Jean-Baptiste Fressoz
|
|||
|
A radical new history of energy and humanity's insatiable need for resources that will change the way we talk about climate change *Winner of a Nouvel Observateur Award, a Fondation pour l'écologie politique Award, the Prix du jury Turgot and the Prix du Sénat du livre d’histoire 2025* *Selected as an Economist and Financial Times Book of the Year* It has become habitual to think of our relationship with energy as one of transition: with wood superseded by coal, coal by oil, oil by nuclear and then at some future point all replaced by green sources. Jean-Baptiste Fressoz’s devastating but unnervingly entertaining book shows what an extraordinary delusion this is. Far from the industrial era passing through a series of transformations, each new phase has in practice remained almost wholly entangled with the previous one. Indeed the very idea of transition turns out to be untrue. The author shares the same acute anxiety about the need for a green transition as the rest of us, but shows how, disastrously, our industrial history has in fact been based on symbiosis, with each major energy source feeding off the others. Using a fascinating array of examples, Fressoz describes how we have gorged on all forms of energy – with whole forests needed to prop up coal mines, coal remaining central to the creation of innumerable new products and oil still central to our lives. The world now burns more wood and coal than ever before. This book reveals an uncomfortable truth: ‘transition’ was originally itself promoted by energy companies, not as a genuine plan, but as a means to put off any meaningful change. More and More and More forces its readers to understand the modern world in all its voracious reality, and the true nature of the challenges heading our way. |
54. For Whom the Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemingway
|
|||
|
In 1937 Ernest Hemingway traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Three years later he completed the greatest novel to emerge from "the good fight," For Whom the Bell Tolls. The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and his superb account of El Sordo's last stand, in his brilliant travesty of La Pasionaria and his unwillingness to believe in blind faith, Hemingway surpasses his achievement in The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms to create a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving and wise. "If the function of a writer is to reveal reality," Maxwell Perkins wrote to Hemingway after reading the manuscript, "no one ever so completely performed it." Greater in power, broader in scope, and more intensely emotional than any of the author's previous works, it stands as one of the best war novels of all time. |

62. The Meritocracy Trap - Daniel Markovits
|
|||
|
'This book flips your world upside down. Daniel Markovits argues that meritocracy isn't a virtuous, efficient system that rewards the best and brightest. Instead it rewards middle-class families who can afford huge investments in their children's education ... Frightening, eye-opening stuff' The Times , Books of the Year Even in the midst of runaway economic inequality and dangerous social division, it remains an axiom of modern life that meritocracy reigns supreme and promises to open opportunity to all. The idea that reward should follow ability and effort is so entrenched in our psyche that, even as society divides itself at almost every turn, all sides can be heard repeating meritocratic notions. Meritocracy cuts to the heart of who we think we are. But what if, both up and down the social ladder, meritocracy is a sham? Today, meritocracy has become exactly what it was conceived to resist: a mechanism for the concentration and dynastic transmission of wealth and privilege across generations. Upward mobility has become a fantasy, and the embattled middle classes are now more likely to sink into the working poor than to rise into the professional elite. At the same time, meritocracy now ensnares even those who manage to claw their way to the top, requiring rich adults to work with crushing intensity, exploiting their expensive educations in order to extract a return. All this is not the result of deviations or retreats from meritocracy but rather stems directly from meritocracy's successes. This is the radical argument that The Meritocracy Trap prosecutes with rare force, comprehensive research, and devastating persuasion. Daniel Markovits, a law professor trained in philosophy and economics, is better placed than most to puncture one of the dominant ideas of our age. Having spent his life at elite universities, he knows from the inside the corrosive system we are trapped within, as well as how we can take the first steps towards a world that might afford us both prosperity and dignity. |

67. The Lesser Dead - Christopher Buehlman
|
|||
|
WINNER OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION’S BEST HORROR NOVEL OF THE YEAR “As much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz” (#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs), Christopher Buehlman excels in twisting the familiar into newfound dread in his “genre-bending” ( California Literary Review ) novels. Now the acclaimed author of Those Across the River delivers his most disquieting tale yet... The secret is, vampires are real and I am one. The secret is, I’m stealing from you what is most truly yours and I’m not sorry... New York City in 1978 is a dirty, dangerous place to live. And die. Joey Peacock knows this as well as anybody—he has spent the last forty years as an adolescent vampire, perfecting the routine he now enjoys: womanizing in punk clubs and discotheques, feeding by night, and sleeping by day with others of his kind in the macabre labyrinth under the city’s sidewalks. The subways are his playground and his highway, shuttling him throughout Manhattan to bleed the unsuspecting in the Sheep Meadow of Central Park or in the backseats of Checker cabs, or even those in their own apartments who are too hypnotized by sitcoms to notice him opening their windows. It’s almost too easy. Until one night he sees them hunting on his beloved subway. The children with the merry eyes. Vampires, like him…or not like him. Whatever they are, whatever their appearance means, the undead in the tunnels of Manhattan are not as safe as they once were. And neither are the rest of us. |

74. The Book of Hope - Jane Goodall & Douglas Abrams
|

|
**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope? Looking at the headlines—the worsening climate crisis, a global pandemic, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval—it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed. In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, one of the world's most famous naturalists, and Douglas Abrams, the internationally bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy , explore through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope , Jane focuses on her "Four Reasons for Hope": The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit. Drawing on decades of work that has helped expand our understanding of what it means to be human and what we all need to do to help build a better world, The Book of Hope touches on vital questions, including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? What is the relationship between hope and action? Filled with moving and inspirational stories and photographs from Jane’s remarkable career, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in the world today. While discussing the experiences that shaped her discoveries and beliefs, Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope, from living through World War II to her years in Gombe to realizing she had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate for environmental justice. And for the first time, she shares her profound revelations about her next, and perhaps final, adventure. The second book in the Global Icons Series—which launched with the instant classic The Book of Joy with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu— The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look not only at the nature of hope but also into the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionized how we view the world around us and has spent a lifetime fighting for our future. There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it. |

|

|
Hailed by George R. R. Martin as “a fresh, original, and engrossing tale by a bright new voice in the fantasy genre,” The Lies of Locke Lamora introduced one of the most compelling protagonists in years and established Scott Lynch as a household name. Years later, the Gentleman Bastard series continues to shine with Lynch’s signature blend of swashbuckling adventure, sparkling wit, and seemingly impossible heists. It’s all here in this rollicking eBook bundle, which collects the first three volumes of Lynch’s one-of-a-kind series:   THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA RED SEAS UNDER RED SKIES THE REPUBLIC OF THIEVES   An orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying.   Praise for the Gentleman Bastard series   The Lies of Locke Lamora   “Remarkable . . . Scott Lynch’s first novel, The Lies of Locke Lamora, exports the suspense and wit of a cleverly constructed crime caper into an exotic realm of fantasy, and the result is engagingly entertaining.” — The Times (London)   “Right now, in the full flush of a second reading, I think The Lies of Locke Lamora is probably in my top ten favorite books ever. Maybe my top five. If you haven’t read it, you should. If you have read it, you should probably read it again.” —Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind   “A unique fantasy milieu peopled by absorbing, colorful characters . . . Locke’s wit and audacity endear him to victims and bystanders alike.” — The Seattle Times   Red Seas Under Red Skies   “Lynch hasn’t merely imagined a far-off world, he’s created it, put it all down on paper—the smells, the sounds, the people, the feel of the place.

87. Microcosms - Claudio Magris & Iain Halliday
|
|||
|
Amid wars, failed revolutions and the shifting of frontiers, the bit-part players often have the best tales to tell - an astonishing, genre-blurring travelogue from Italian master Claudio Magris. In the tiny borderlands of Istria and Italy, from the forests of Monte Nevoso, to the hidden valleys of the Tyrol, to a Trieste café, Microcosms pieces together a mosaic of stories - comic, tragic, picaresque, nostalgic - from life's minor characters. Their worlds might be small, but they are far from minimalist: in them flashes the great, the meaningful, the unrepeatable significance of every existence. |
88. The Art of Fiction - John Gardner
|
|||
|
This classic guide, from the renowned novelist and professor, has helped transform generations of aspiring writers into masterful writers—and will continue to do so for many years to come.     John Gardner was almost as famous as a teacher of creative writing as he was for his own works. In this practical, instructive handbook, based on the courses and seminars that he gave, he explains, simply and cogently, the principles and techniques of good writing. Gardner’s lessons, exemplified with detailed excerpts from classic works of literature, sweep across a complete range of topics—from the nature of aesthetics to the shape of a refined sentence. Written with passion, precision, and a deep respect for the art of writing, Gardner’s book serves by turns as a critic, mentor, and friend. Anyone who has ever thought of taking the step from reader to writer should begin here.   |
89. Kuolematon - Leigh Bardugo
|
|||
|
Kohtaloa voi muuttaa. Kiroukset voi murtaa. Suositun fantasiakirjailijan ylistetty romaani on koukuttava yhdistelmä historiallista juonittelua, mystistä magiaa ja kutkuttavaa romantiikkaa.   Madridin syrjäseudulla raatava Luzia Cotado käyttää taikuuden hiveniä selviytyäkseen loputtomista työpäivistään. Kun talon juonitteleva emäntä huomaa keittiöpiian kyvyt, joutuu Luzia sukeltamaan vallanhimoisten aatelisten, epätoivoisten kuninkaiden ja maagisten voimien maailmaan, jossa taikuuden, tieteen ja huijauksen rajat hämärtyvät. Selviytyäkseen ja piilottaakseen totuuden sukutaustastaan hänen on käytettävä sekä älyään että tahdonvoimaansa – joka joutuu koetukselle, kun Guillén Santángel, katkera kuolematon, saapuu apuun.  Espanjan kultaiselle vuosisadalle sijoittuva lumoava tarina kertoo vaaroja pursuavasta maailmasta, jossa salaisuudet ovat tappavia ja naisen kunnianhimo voi koitua kuolemaksi. Kirjan on suomentanut Meri Kapari. Leigh Bardugo (s. 1975) on New York Timesin bestseller-listan ykkösen, Salatun tiedon seuran kirjoittaja sekä Netflix-sarjaksi adaptoidun Grishaversumin luoja, jonka kirjoja on myyty yli 20 miljoonaa kappaletta. Tätä romaania varten hän paneutui erityisesti Espanjan inkvisition historiaan ja inspiroitui todellisista henkilöistä, jotka elivät sen vallan alla. ”Bardugo tunnustelee nerokkaasti yliluonnollisen ja jumalallisen välistä aaltoilevaa rajaa.” – The Washingon Post |

Less than a day later, a huge, musclebound alien warrior arrives to claim her. His name is Feral, and he’s the largest and most intimidating male she’s ever seen.

He dreams of raising a family with Sadie and living a quiet life on Planet New Vaxx. But when she discovers the truth about what he is, she tries to run.

Au coeur d’une ville divisée par un imposant mur frontalier, Héléna travaille pour une agence de rénovation. Elle répare des balcons, colmate des toitures et plonge momentanément dans l’intimité de ses clients. Partout, rues, parcs et logements se laissent lentement envahir par la flore et la faune. Le lierre et les roseaux gagnent du terrain, les iguanes tombent des arbres et la pluie étend son règne. Dans ce monde régulé par les agences et sillonné par les gardes-frontière, Héléna file à vélo avec sa remorque à outils, tentant de semer les monstres du passé qui la poursuivent. Un jour, dans le sous-sol humide d’un immeuble, elle découvre un groupe de tunneliers clandestins et un espoir fou monte en elle : traverser avec eux. Le mur déploie une métaphore politique et existentielle où résonnent la force de la nature, le travail des mains et le rêve de l’exil. |

95. Pakistan Ya Bharat Ka Vibhajan - Dr B.R. Ambedkar
|

|
"श्री रहमत अली ने सन् 1933 में पाकिस्तानी आंदोलन की नींव डाली। उन्होंने भारत को दो भागों, अर्थात् पाकिस्तान और हिंदुस्तान, में विभाजित किया। उनके पाकिस्तान में पंजाब, उत्तर-पश्चिमी सीमा प्रांत, कश्मीर, सिंध और बलूचिस्तान शामिल थे। उनकी राय में शेष भाग हिंदुस्तान था। उनका विचार था कि उत्तर में पाँच मुसलिम प्रांतों को मिलाकर एक 'स्वतंत्र और पृथक् पाकिस्तान के रूप में स्वतंत्र राज्य हो। क्या पाकिस्तान इसलिए बनना चाहिए, क्योंकि हिंदू और मुसलमानों के बीच सांप्रदायिक तनातनी है ? इस बात से कोई इनकार नहीं कर सकता कि इनके बीच तनातनी है। प्रश्न केवल यह है कि क्या यह तनातनी इतनी प्रबल है कि वे एक देश में एक संविधान के अंतर्गत नहीं रह सकते ? निश्चित रूप से एक साथ रहने की यह इच्छा वर्ष 1937 तक उनमें नहीं थी। गवर्नमेंट ऑफ इंडिया एक्ट-1935 के निर्माण के समय हिंदुओं व मुसलमानों ने एक देश में एक संविधान के अंतर्गत रहना पसंद किया था और उक्त एक्ट के पारित होने के पूर्व उस पर हुई चर्चा में भाग लिया था। भारतरत्न बाबासाहब डॉ. भीमराव रामजी आंबेडकर के भारत विभाजन और पाकिस्तान के निर्माण पर बेबाक राय और सुस्पष्ट चिंतन की प्रतिध्वनि है यह पुस्तक। अपने धारदार तर्कों और दृढ़ विचारों से उन्होंने उन तत्कालीन परिस्थितियों पर एक समग्र दृष्टि प्रस्तुत की है।" |

Hyytävä eloonjäämistaistelu jäisessä helvetissä. Ramiel ei puhu, mutta hän näkee kaiken. Silloinkin kun muut eivät näe mitään. Eletään 1930-lukua länsirannikolla. Eläintieteen professori saapuu kaupungista pieneen kylään, Ramielin isäpuoli on luvannut viedä hänet talviselle hylkeenpyyntimatkalle. Mukaan pestataan myös kokenut pyytäjä, joka tuntee jään ja hylkeiden oikut. Jäällä armottomat olosuhteet saavat retkikunnan pian polvilleen. Yksikin harha-askel voi olla kuolemaksi, ja muuttuva sää tekee suunnistamisesta lähes mahdotonta. Miesten välit kiristyvät, ja Ramielin on valittava puolensa. Kun väkivallan uhka tiivistyy, hänen turvanaan on vain isältä peritty mystinen nide, Samaelin kirja. Marko Hautala on vaasalainen kirjailija, joka on voittanut psykologisilla kauhuromaaneillaan Tiiliskivi-palkinnon ja Kalevi Jäntin palkinnon. Vuonna 2020 hän oli ehdolla yhdysvaltalaisen Shirley Jackson Award -palkinnon saajaksi. |

The sensational new novel from the highly-acclaimed author of Dreamland : a once-in-a-lifetime love story ‘Electrically entertaining’, The Times , ‘Best Books to Read this Summer’ ‘Ambitious… brilliant… exhilarating… Custom-built for fans for The Thick of It , Succession and Industry , with a romance plot that could have been written by David Nicholls’ Johanna Thomas-Corr, Sunday Times It is Elle’s job to manage disasters. But lately things have started to spin out of control. At work, the latest catastrophe has been live-streamed to the nation. A shock election sees an extreme-right coalition storm to power. Then, on a night so hot it feels like London’s pavements are melting, she meets Ed. Elle and Ed are not meant to be drawn to each other. Elle has only ever been attracted to women, and Ed, billed as ‘the great gay novelist of our times’, is about to release his first book. But something inexplicable sparks between them. Can the unexpected attraction they feel last when it presents such a profound challenge to their identity? And as the country fractures and the heat rises, how will they choose between the people they’ve known themselves to be – and the people they are willing to become. Both an unforgettable love story and a state-of-the-nation thriller, My Only Boy asks universal questions about desire, complicity, and what happens when your sense of self collapses along with the world around you. ‘Smart, beautifully written, joyful and terrifying – without doubt, Rankin-Gee's best work yet ' Lucy Scholes, Prospect 'Thoughtful, challenging... Rankin-Gee explores the pull and push of queer desire turned unexpectedly heterosexual’ Marie Claire, Best Summer Reads of 2026 ‘Sparkling prose… the novel handles its subject matter with such tenderness that it made this extremely gay man believe that it might actually be possible to fall in love with someone of the opposite sex (no small feat)’ Teo Van Den Broeke, Esquire ‘Bleakly funny… a surprising romance… As I read My Only Boy , I kept having to remind myself that the nation it describes is not (yet) real, because the novel’s England seems unnervingly close to what might come next…’ Sarah Moss, Guardian ‘Ominously realistic… a thumping, state-of-the-nation thriller with a complex romance at its heart' Cal Flyn, Five Books ‘Must-Read Novels of Summer 2026’ ‘Hell is round the corner in My Only Boy , its skilfully imagined near-future, far-right Britain all too believable. But what I admire most is the way its grand sweep is studded with small human moments: brilliantly noticed instances of the ways we want and yearn and love’ Chris Power, author of A Lonely Man ' I can’t stop thinking about it’ Lucy Foley, author of The Hunting Party ‘I devoured this book. Rosa Rankin-Gee is a master at creating near future worlds with a simmering political back drop, pierced through with laughs and a love story that feels at once epic and beautiful and also completely universal’ Kayleigh Llewellyn, Bafta Award-winning creator of In My Skin |

'Such a fun, sparkling, swoonworthy romance full of memorable moments' - Cressida McLaughlin *** A slow-burn romance fifteen years in the making... Hattie has spent half her life secretly crushing on Freddie – her best friend Sam's irresistibly gorgeous older brother. But Freddie?

Fast-forward to now: Hattie finds herself single for the first time in years – just before the holidays.

100. Reading the Enemy's Mind - Paul H. Smith
|

|
"An up-close-and-personal look behind the scenes of the government's psychic spy program as only an insider can. A must read!" —Harold E. Puthoff, PhD, founder and former director of the CIA-initiated Remote Viewing Program From behind the cloak of US military secrecy comes the story of Star Gate, the project that for nearly a quarter of a century trained soldiers and civilian spies in extra-sensory perception (ESP). Their objective: To search out the secrets of America's cold war enemies using a skill called "remote viewing." Paul H. Smith, a US Army Major, was one of these viewers. With the Star Gate secrets declassified and the program mothballed by the Central Intelligence Agency, the story can now be told of the ordinary soldiers drafted onto the battlefield of human consciousness. Using hundreds of interviews with the key players in the Star Gate program, and gathering thousands of pages of documents, Smith reveals many secrets about how remote viewing works and how it was used against enemy targets. Among these stories are the search for hostages in Lebanon; spying on Soviet directed energy weapons; investigating the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland; tracking foreign testing of weapons of mass destruction; combating narco-trafficking off America's coasts; aiding in the Iranian hostage situation; finding KGB moles in the CIA; pursuing Middle East terrorists; and more. This is a story for the believer and the skeptic—a rare look at the innards of a top secret program and an eye-opening treatise on the power of the human mind to transcend the limitations of space and time. |
