A Human hybrid and an Alpha Were claw against the bonds of fate in the highly anticipated companion novel to the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Bride. Serena Paris is orphaned, pack-less, and one of a kind. Coming forward as the first Human-Were hybrid was supposed to heal a centuries-long rift between species.

As Alpha of the Northwest pack, Koen Alexander commands obedience. His authority is so absolute, only a fool would threaten his mate. It doesn't matter if Serena doesn't reciprocate his feelings, nothing will stop him from keeping her safe. But power-hungry Vampyres and Weres are not the only threats chasing Serena. Sooner or later, her past is bound to catch up with her - and Koen might be the only thing standing between her and total annihilation... *Ali Hazelwood's Deep End was a Sunday Times bestseller w/e 23 February 2025. *Ali Hazelwood's Bride was a Sunday Times bestseller w/e 10 February 2024. |

4. Sot - Sara Strömberg
|

|
Fjärde boken i succéserien om Vera Bergström »Med Sot slår Sara Strömberg stenhårt fast att hon är en av Sveriges absolut bästa deckarförfattare just nu.« Gunilla Wedding, Skånska Dagbladet »Åre är brottsplats för åtskilliga deckarförfattare just nu, men ingen skriver bättre om staden än Sara Strömberg.« Vi Läser  »Sara Strömberg väver alltid in landsbygdens villkor i de här böckerna, det är bra, det är inte bara spänning utan det finns någonting mer.« Monica Lindgren rekommenderar Sara Strömbergs Sot i Go'kväll, SVT Sommarens ljus håller sakta på att överge Jämtland och Vera Bergström kämpar med att leva upp till de förväntningar som sambolivet innebär. När hon får ett mordfall att bevaka för Jämtlandspostens räkning är det ett närmast välkommet avbrott. Den kända modedesignern Ewa Åkermans fall från fjärde våningen på hotell Copperhill i Åre har potential att bli en riksnyhet. Kort därefter sprängs en socialarbetare till döds i sin eka ute på en sjö. De till synes orelaterade dödsfallen förbryllar polisen, men Vera börjar granska händelserna ur andra perspektiv och anar snart ett mönster. Spåren leder längre bort än hon kunnat föreställa sig, till en kärna av djupt rotat hat. Samtidigt pågår en kartläggning av ödehus i länet. Psykologen Mikael Nyman i Östersund får en förfrågan om att sälja sitt föräldrahem i Frostviken, men det är först när polisen kontaktar honom om en krossad ruta som han åker upp till sin stuga. Väl på plats hittar han en svårt skadad kvinna. Vem är hon, och vad gör hon där? SARA STRÖMBERG [f. 1975] är en svensk författare uppvuxen i Jämtland och Västerbotten, numera bosatt i Östersund. Hennes tidigare böcker – Sly, Skred och Skinn – har hyllats av både kritiker och läsare. De två första utsågs av Svenska Deckarakademin till Årets bästa svenska debut [2021] respektive Årets bästa svenska kriminalroman [2022]. Den tredje blev nominerad till Årets bästa svenska kriminalroman [2023]. Sot är den fjärde boken om antihjälten Vera Bergström. »Sot håller en minst lika hög nivå som sina starka föregångare, och berättelsen om Vera Bergström är – fortfarande – underbart underhållande läsning.« Saskia Rubensson, Länstidningen Östersund »I Sot är Vera Bergström lika bulldozeraktig som vanligt när hon blir besatt av ett fall. Sara Strömberg är fena på att lägga pusselbitar från vitt skilda håll, vilseleda och ändå få dem att mötas i mitten.« Inger Melin, Borås Tidning »Rekordsnabbt har Sara Strömberg tagit en plats i den svenska spänningseliten, en position som hon tydligt befäster med sin nya bok.« Kapprakt »Boken är en njutning att läsa. En av årets bästa deckare.« Betyg: 5 av 5 – Nisse Scherman, Tankar från en samlares hjärna |

_______________ THE PHENOMENAL KOREAN BESTSELLER TRANSLATED BY INTERNATIONAL BOOKER SHORTLISTEE ANTON HUR 'Will strike a chord with anyone who feels that their public life is at odds with how they really feel inside.' - Red PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you? ME: I don't know, I'm – what's the word – depressed? Do I have to go into detail? Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her – what to call it? – depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal. But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like? Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness. |

Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast - again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold an historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange - again . . . Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice.

"När jag fyllde femtio år fick jag svindel av min ålder. Det kom för mig att om jag levat mitt liv åt andra hållet skulle jag vid femtio års ålder vara framme vid 1907. Mina föräldrars liv kändes så nära och blandades ihop med mitt eget, samtidigt som min egen barndom var oändligt långt borta. Mitt liv, så många år jag levt. Så hisnande mycket som förändrats och ändå är jag på något sätt densamma. Tiden, åldern, kroppen, erfarenheter, minnet, glömskan har gjort mig till den jag är nu. Jag tycker att det är ofattbart hur långt bort en tid som var alldeles nyss känns, och hur nära jag har de längesedan levda åren." Sissela Kyle skriver om uppväxten i Partille och om livet som regissör och skådespelare idag. Boken består av en räcka med nedslag - både från de avgörande ögonblicken i livet och om de platser och människor som format henne. Hennes CV har en imponerande bredd. Hon har spelat på små och stora scener, såväl seriös dramatik som fars, hon har lett galor, filmat och regisserat. Samtidigt har hon umgåtts med vänner, bildat familj, skilt sig, tagit hand om gamla föräldrar. En skildring av livets gång helt enkelt. Och Sissela Kyle skriver med samma udd och tajming som kännetecknar allt hon gör. Det är underhållande, tankeväckande, smart och klokt. |

They told David it was impossible - that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet, Steelheart - invincible, immortal, unconquerable - is dead. And he died by David's hand. Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And there's no one in Newcago who can give him the answers he needs. Babylon Restored, the old borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic, Regalia, David is sure Babylon Restored will lead him to what he needs to find. And while entering another city oppressed by a High Epic despot is a gamble, David's willing to risk it. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic - Firefight. And he's willing to go on a quest darker, and more dangerous even, than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers. |

Return to #1 New York Times bestseller Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn world of Scadrial as its second era, which began with The Alloy of Law , comes to its earth-shattering conclusion in The Lost Metal. For years, frontier lawman turned big-city senator Waxillium Ladrian has hunted the shadowy organization the Set—with his late uncle and his sister among their leaders—since they started kidnapping people with the power of Allomancy in their bloodlines. When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner Wayne find stockpiled weapons bound for the Outer City of Bilming, this opens a new lead. Conflict between Elendel and the Outer Cities only favors the Set, and their tendrils now reach to the Elendel Senate—whose corruption Wax and Steris have sought to expose—and Bilming is even more entangled. After Wax discovers a new type of explosive that can unleash unprecedented destruction and realizes that the Set must already have it, an immortal kandra serving Scadrial’s god, Harmony, reveals that Bilming has fallen under the influence of another god: Trell, worshipped by the Set. And Trell isn’t the only factor at play from the larger Cosmere—Marasi is recruited by offworlders with strange abilities who claim their goal is to protect Scadrial...at any cost. Wax must choose whether to set aside his rocky relationship with God and once again become the Sword that Harmony has groomed him to be. If no one steps forward to be the hero Scadrial needs, the planet and its millions of people will come to a sudden and calamitous ruin.

49. Exhalation - Ted Chiang
|

|
‘One of the most exciting writers in science fiction . . . Although dark in premise, these parables – threaded through with references to ancient mythology and folklore – are filled with hope and humanism: a balm for anxious souls.’ – Daily Telegraph From the acclaimed author of Stories of Your Life and Others – the basis for the Academy Award nominated film Arrival – comes a groundbreaking second collection of short fiction: nine stunningly original, provocative, and poignant stories. These are tales that tackle some of humanity’s oldest questions along with new quandaries that only Ted Chiang could imagine. 'A collection of short stories that will make you think, grapple with big questions, and feel more human. The best kind of science fiction' – Barack Obama In ‘The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate’, a portal through time forces a fabric-seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past errors and the temptation of second chances. In the epistolary ‘Exhalation’, an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications not just for his own people, but for all of reality. In ‘Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom’, the ability to glimpse into alternate universes necessitates a radically new examination of the concepts of choice and free will. In Exhalation , Ted Chiang addresses the most fundamental of issues – What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human? – alongside others that no one else has even imagined. And, each in its own way, the stories prove that complex and thoughtful science fiction can rise to new heights of beauty, meaning, and compassion. ‘Deeply beautiful stories . . . Each thoughtful, elegantly crafted story poses a philosophical question; Chiang curates all nine into a conversation that comes full circle, after having traversed remarkable terrain.’ – New York Times 'The 10 Best Books of 2019' ‘Chiang’s writing . . . inspires awe for the natural properties of the universe; it renders the fundamentals of science poignant and affecting.’ – Economist ‘A scintillating cavalcade of ideas . . . Chiang breathes new life into well-worn SF themes such as time travel, artificial intelligence and parallel universes.’ – Financial Times 'Books of the Year' |

54. Claimed by the Marquis (Regency Unlaced 2) - Carole Mortimer
|
|||
|
Claimed by the Marquis is the second story in USA Today bestselling author, Carole Mortimer’s, highly acclaimed Regency Unlaced series. Author’s Note: The stories in the Regency Unlaced series are steaming hot and the language sometimes explicit. Lady Sally Derwent is an unusual Regency Miss, in that at the age of five and twenty, she is still unwed and determined to remain so. She has no desire to relinquish her freedom in order to become the property of some unworthy gentleman. Nor is she willing to part with the independence she acquired at the age of one and twenty, when she came into the fortune bequeathed to her by her paternal grandmother. There is also the matter of the other part of the inheritance her grandmother left to her. A scandalous collection of erotica. Books, paintings, statues, sketches, most of which make Sally blush to look at, but which fascinate her nonetheless. Attending the wedding of a close friend, Sally takes one look at Nicholas Sefton, Marquis of Oxbridge, with his unfashionably long dark hair, piercing green eyes, and magnificently muscular body, and knows he is the missing piece from her vast collection of erotica. Not the man himself but the sketches she wishes to make of him. Nude. Nicholas Sefton has long been bored with both the restrictions of society and the people in it. The war with Napoleon is over, and although he is the owner of several large estates, they are all being run very capably without his assistance. Likewise his townhouse in London. He is currently in need of a diversion in his life, something, or someone, to occupy or entertain him. Lady Sally Derwent’s outrageous request, to sketch him naked, is beyond any amusement Nicholas might have imagined for his immediate future. The lady herself is beautiful, the attraction between the two of them mutual, but she nevertheless declares herself unavailable. A situation Nicholas intends to change at the earliest opportunity. Unrealized by either of them, someone close to them wishes Lady Sally Derwent dead. Sooner rather than later. Will the Marquis and Sally become so caught up in their heated attraction to one another they remain unaware of the danger until it is too late? Carole Mortimer has written over 200 books, in contemporary and Regency romance, and is the Recipient of the prestigious 2015 Romance Writers of America’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

55. Landet utanför : Sverige och kriget 1943-1945 - Henrik Berggren
|
|||
|
I den avslutande delen av sin breda trilogi om Sverige under andra världskriget skildrar Henrik Berggren de sista dramatiska krigsåren. Efter slagen vid El Alamein och Stalingrad har den tyska krigslyckan vänt och röster höjs för att ”lägga om kursen i de allierades riktning”. Men Sverige är fortfarande inringat av Tyskland och trots en växande kritik mot eftergiftspolitiken går samlingsregeringen försiktigt fram. Med hjälp av dagstidningar, dagböcker, brev och romaner skildras vardagslivet i krigets skugga. Svenskarna går på bio och restaurang som aldrig förr, äktenskap och barnafödande ökar och författarna debatterar om litteraturen har en plikt att göra beredskapstjänst. Samtidigt har krigsåren förändrat Sveriges invånare. Med de danska judarnas flykt hösten 1943 sjunker insikten på allvar in om att nazisterna är på väg att utplåna Europas judar. Det stoppar dock inte Sverige från att exportera järnmalm och kullager till Tyskland i utbyte mot kol. När USA hotar att bomba SKF i Göteborg ställs frågan om svensk neutralitet på sin spets… |

|

|
From the USA Today bestselling author of The Hating Game, soon to be a movie starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, an unforgettable romantic comedy about a woman who finally has a shot at her long time crush—if she dares. Crush (n.): a strong and often short-lived infatuation, particularly for someone beyond your reach… Darcy Barrett has undertaken a global survey of men. She’s travelled the world, and can categorically say that no one measures up to Tom Valeska, whose only flaw is that Darcy’s twin brother Jamie saw him first and claimed him forever as his best friend. Despite Darcy’s best efforts, Tom’s off limits and loyal to her brother, 99%. That’s the problem with finding her dream man at age eight and peaking in her photography career at age twenty—ever since, she’s had to learn to settle for good enough. When Darcy and Jamie inherit a tumble-down cottage from their grandmother, they’re left with strict instructions to bring it back to its former glory and sell the property. Darcy plans to be in an aisle seat halfway across the ocean as soon as the renovations start, but before she can cut and run, she finds a familiar face on her porch: house-flipper extraordinaire Tom’s arrived, he’s bearing power tools, and he’s single for the first time in almost a decade. Suddenly Darcy’s considering sticking around to make sure her twin doesn’t ruin the cottage’s inherent magic with his penchant for grey and chrome. She’s definitely not staying because of her new business partner’s tight t-shirts, or that perfect face that's inspiring her to pick up her camera again. Soon sparks are flying—and it’s not the faulty wiring. It turns out one percent of Tom’s heart might not be enough for Darcy anymore. This time around, she’s switching things up. She’s going to make Tom Valeska 99 percent hers. This next hilarious romance includes a special PS section with two Happily Ever Afters—one for this novel featuring Darcy and Tom and the other, an epilogue featuring fan favorites Lucy Hutton and Josh Templeman from The Hating Game! |

60. Grattis, du ska bli pappa! - Magnus Reithner
|
|||
|
"Om du vill bli mentalt förberedd för ett barn så kan du sluta läsa nu. Men om du vill lära dig hur du inte ska bete dig inför en förlossning, hur du bär ett sovande barn från bilen utan att det vaknar och pajar ditt tv-spelande, hur du tar på ett barn ytterkläderna utan att dö eller hur du räddar en överhettad barnmatsburk, ska du fortsätta läsa." Så skriver trebarnspappan Magnus Reithner i förordet till sin bok "Grattis, du ska bli pappa" där han samlat sina bästa pappa-tips för en enklare vardag med småbarn. Med humor och anekdoter guidar han blivande pappor genom en för dem okänd värld av bland annat sjukdomar, matning, nattning, utflykter med småbarn och Försäkringskassan. I tretton kapitel berättar han varför det är bra att ha nycklarna i vänster ficka om man är högerhänt, varför även pappor borde skaffa sminkspegel och hur man kan, men kanske inte bör göra för att hjälpa ett täppt barn. "Grattis, du ska bli pappa" liknar ingen tidigare pappabok och är den perfekta handboken för den blivande pappan som står på tröskeln till en vardag full av otvättade kläder, borttappade nappar, sömnlösa nätter men också en vardag full av oändligt mycket kärlek. |

SA-män i bruna uniformer kantade bröllopskortegens väg och Hitler gratulerade brudens far, som var morfar till vår nuvarande kung, och som en gång i tiden banade väg för Hitler till Rikskansliet i Berlin.   Staffan Thorsell skriver om svenska biskopar, akademiledamöter, officerare och direktörer som slog sig ned i soffan hos Hitler och om Sveriges förhållande till det Tredje riket. Nya dokument berättar om den svenske ärkebiskopen Erling Eidem, som i oktober 1942 via en tysk präst och en SS-man, fick veta precis hur det gick till när judar från hela Europa gasades ihjäl i de förintelseläger som Hitler byggt upp i Polen. De hoppades att den svenske biskopen skulle slå larm och berätta för världen vad som pågick. Han valde att tiga. ”Mein Lieber Reichskanzler!” är resultatet av en djupdykning i svenska, tyska och amerikanska arkiv och bibliotek. Boken är ett viktigt nutidshistoriskt dokument som ger en uppseendeväckande bild av kontakterna mellan Sverige och Tyskland. En bild som många idag inte känner till och som andra gärna vill blunda för. |

65. The Temporary Roomie - Sarah Adams
|

|
From the New York Times bestselling author of Practice Makes Perfect comes an expanded edition of The Temporary Roomie - a witty and relatable romantic comedy about finding joy in the unexpected, with a never-before-seen chapter. No one said fair trade needed to be 'fair.' As the owner of Honeysuckle Salon, Jessie Barnes usually has everything managed and on track, but now in her third trimester of an unexpected pregnancy, she feels a bit lost and increasingly desperate after faulty plumbing floods her apartment. Unfortunately, her knight in shining armour is actually Dr. Drew Marshall, her best friend's brother, and also the man she chewed out not too long ago for being a chauvinistic dirtbag. Every moment Drew's had to prove her wrong since then has failed, so Jessie's opinion of him hasn't improved. That remains the case when he agrees to let her stay with him during renovations, under one condition: she pretends to be his girlfriend for upcoming work festivities. For the sake of her brother, Jessie is willing to make the tough situation work, and giving Drew a taste of his own medicine sounds . . . intriguing. But when their rivalry sparks a deeper connection, Jessie's future gets even more unclear - and with a baby on the way, she'll have to make a decision soon. |
66. Cleopatra and Frankenstein - Coco Mellors
|

|
‘A tender, devastating and funny exploration of love and friendship and the yearning for self-evisceration. Coco Mellors is an elegant and exciting new voice’ PANDORA SYKES New York is slipping from Cleo’s grasp. Sure, she’s at a different party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Her student visa is running out, and she doesn’t even have money for cigarettes. But then she meets Frank. Twenty years older, Frank's life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo's lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a green card. She offers him a life imbued with beauty and art—and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his drinking. He is everything she needs right now. Cleo and Frank run head-first into a romance that neither of them can quite keep up with. It reshapes their lives and the lives of those around them, whether that’s Cleo's best friend struggling to embrace his gender identity in the wake of her marriage, or Frank's financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates after being cut off. Ultimately, this chance meeting between two strangers outside of a New Year’s Eve party changes everything, for better or worse. Cleopatra and Frankenstein is an astounding and painfully relatable debut novel about the spontaneous decisions that shape our entire lives and those imperfect relationships born of unexpectedly perfect evenings. Reviews ‘Positively inhalable. I was intensely consumed by the world of Cleopatra and Frankenstein for a few happy days’ The Evening Standard ‘Friends who couldn’t get enough of Sally Rooney’s Conversations with Friends will fall head over heels for Coco Mellor’s debut novel’ ES Magazine ‘Cleopatra and Frankenstein, the luminous debut novel from Coco Mellors, is a book about many things: It's a great, swooning love story; a shattering depiction of how addiction and mental illness warp our lives; and a perceptive, witty portrait of globalized New York. But most of all, Mellors has written a devastatingly human book, at turns sharp and tender, that marks her as the rare writer whose sentences are as beautiful as they are wise. An unforgettable read’ Sam Lansky, author of The Gilded Razor and Broken People ‘A character driven epic thoroughly engrossing and entirely magnificent. It is thrilling to read a book that articles with nuance and compassion the way gender impacts every part of our lives. Sometimes you can just tell that a debut novel has been percolating and perfecting inside an author's mind until it is ready to leap into-and ultimately change-the world’ Adam Eli, author of The Queer Conscience “Mellors’ remarkably assured and sensitive debut … strongly evoke[s] Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life… At its core, it’s a novel about how love and lovers are easily misinterpreted and how romantic troubles affect friends and family. A canny and engrossing rewiring of the big-city romance.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review ‘Insistent, stylish and utterly captivating, the prose just sings.’ Heidi James, author of, The Sound Mirror |

In January 1915, after battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and only a day's sail short of its destination, the Endurance became locked in an island of ice. Thus began the legendary ordeal of Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men. When their ship was finally crushed between two ice floes, they attempted a near-impossible journey over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization. In Endurance , the definitive account of Ernest Shackleton's fateful trip, Alfred Lansing brilliantly narrates the harrowing and miraculous voyage that has defined heroism for the modern age. |

But when Wells quits in a blaze of glory and his fangirl finally goes home, he knows he made the greatest mistake of his life. Josephine Doyle believed in the gorgeous, grumpy golfer, even when he didn’t believe in himself. Yet after he throws in the towel, she begins to wonder if her faith was misplaced. Then a determined Wells shows up at her door with a wild proposal: be his new caddy, help him turn his game around, and split the prize money. And considering Josephine’s professional and personal life is in shambles, she could really use the cash… As they travel together, spending days on the green and nights in neighboring hotel rooms, sparks fly. Before long, they’re inseparable, Wells starts winning again, and Josephine is surprised to find a sweet, thoughtful guy underneath his gruff, growly exterior. This hot man wants to brush her hair, feed her snacks, and take bubble baths together? Is this real life?

Ny svensk översättning av Orwells mästerverk Boktips i Babel: Niklas Rådström rekommenderar Ragnar Strömbergs nyöversättning av 1984 i Babel, SVT »1984 släpps nu i en ny översättning av Ragnar Strömberg, där språket tajtats till och uppdaterats. En högst aktuell, tidlös och läsvärd bok, med ett världsbygge lika skrämmande som det är djupgående. « Betyg: 5 av 5 - BTJ George Orwells roman 1984 är en av 1900-talets mest inflytelserika böcker. När den kom ut 1949 hade världen just sett en totalitär regim falla och en annan födas. I Djurfarmen [1945] hade Orwell redan studerat stalinismens mekanismer och nu drog han linjerna vidare in i framtiden: landet Oceanien har genomfört det frihets- och människofientliga kontrollsamhället på alla nivåer, och inte minst i språket. Konstant övervakning råder - »STOREBROR SER DIG« - och varje avvikelse straffas skoningslöst. Winston Smith arbetar på Sanningsministeriet med att ändra historien och därmed visa att Partiet och dess ledare alltid haft rätt, och alltid kommer att ha det. Men i hans enformiga tillvaro väcks en längtan efter något annat, ett upproriskt frö som i sig är nog för att leda till hans undergång. George Orwells 1984 presenteras här i ny svensk översättning av Ragnar Strömberg. GEORGE ORWELL föddes i Indien 1903 och avled i London 1950. Som journalist, kritiker och författare var han en skarp vedersakare av sin samtid och dess politiska förutsättningar och konsekvenser. |

79. 44 Scotland Street - Alexander McCall Smith
|
|||
|
The bestselling author of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Series brings his trademark warmth and wisdom to his novel chronicling the lives of the residents of 44 Scotland Street that's 'as charming as the bohemian street in which it's set' ( Scottish Daily Record ) The story revolves around the comings and goings at No. 44 Scotland Street, a fictitious building in a real street in Edinburgh. Immediately recognisable are the Edinburgh chartered surveyor, stalwart of the Conservative Association, who dreams of membership of Scotland's most exclusive golf club. We have the pushy Stockbridge mother, and her prodigiously talented five-year-old son, who is making good progress with the saxophone and with his Italian. Then there is Domenica Macdonald who is that type of Edinburgh lady who sees herself as a citizen of a broader intellectual world. In McCall Smith's hands such characters retain charm and novelty, simultaneously arousing both mirth and empathy. 44 Scotland Street is vintage McCall Smith, tackling issues of trust and honesty, snobbery and hypocrisy, love and loss, but all with great lightness of touch. Clever, elegant and funny, this is a novel that provides huge entertainment but which is underpinned by the moral dilemmas of everyday life and the characters' struggles to resolve them.

The Sunday Times Bestseller 'A full-spectrum triumph' Guardian A sensational new novel from the bestselling author of Less Than Zero and American Psycho that tracks a group of privileged Los Angeles high school friends as a serial killer strikes across the city. His first novel in 13 years, The Shards is Bret Easton Ellis at his inimitable best. LA, 1981. Buckley College in heat. 17-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends, even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Bret's obsession with Mallory is equalled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with The Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting them with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence. Can he trust his friends – or his own mind – to make sense of the danger they appear to be in? Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by unhealthy fixations, Bret spirals into paranoia and isolation as the relationship between The Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles inexorably toward a collision. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply haunting and often darkly funny, The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing of fact and fiction that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric of Bret's life at 17 – sex and jealousy, obsession and murderous rage. |

Vi sitter som vanligt i köket, platsen där hon till slut började berätta. Om då, hur hon överlevde. Om nu, om mardrömmarna som aldrig försvinner. Minnen från kriget som rullar på näthinnan som en film hon aldrig kan pausa. Det är på natten hon ser konturerna av deras ansikten tydligt, som hon kan höra sin lillasysters röst. Ibland lever de igen, ibland är hon tillbaka i det polska ghettot där mamma och pappa motar ut sin tonårsdotter. Tvingar henne att återigen fly till skogen, mot fienden som satt ett pris på hennes liv, bara för att hon är judinna. Att vara en Förintelseöverlevande kallar farmor inte för en välsignelse, utan ett straff. Att tvingas leva med skulden över att hon lever, inte de. Ett kilo socker handlar om ett av de sista vittnena till Förintelsen som fortfarande är kvar i livet. Vad händer när ingen av dem längre finns? |
88. The House Of Medici - Christopher Hibbert
|
|||
|
It was a dynasty with more wealth, passion, and power than the houses of Windsor, Kennedy, and Rockefeller combined. It shaped all of Europe and controlled politics, scientists, artists, and even popes, for three hundred years. It was the house of Medici, patrons of Botticelli, Michelangelo and Galileo, benefactors who turned Florence into a global power center, and then lost it all. The House of Medici picks up where Barbara Tuchman's Hibbert delves into the lives of the Medici family, whose legacy of increasing self-indulgence and sexual dalliance eventually led to its self-destruction. With twenty-four pages of black-and-white illustrations, this timeless saga is one of Quill's strongest-selling paperbacks. |

|
The first installment in the brilliant ‘Scott Pilgrim’ graphic novel series from Bryan Lee O’Malley, writer of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off – now a major Netflix series. Scott Pilgrim’s life is totally sweet. He’s twenty-three years old, he’s in a rock band, he’s ‘between jobs’, and he’s dating a cute high-school girl. Nothing could possibly go wrong, unless a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, rollerblading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. Will Scott’s awesome life get turned upside-down? Will he have to face Ramona’s seven evil ex-boyfriends in battle? The short answer is yes. The long answer is ‘Scott Pilgrim, Volume 1: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life’. Reviews "Scott Pilgrim is the best book ever. It is the chronicle of our time. With Kung Fu, so, yeah: perfect." Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer "One of the best things to happen to printed comics this millennium." Ain't It Cool News "A hilarious, idiosyncratic gem." Washington Post "A great oddball tale that captures the energy of a generation." Publishers Weekly "An inventive, genre-tweaking tale of young love, platonic bed-sharing and epic battles unlike anything else you will likely pick up. So, go on, pick it up." E! Online "Scott Pilgrim is the best 23-year-old ever. Like Proust's Swann, he has a story that takes multiple volumes to unfold, except Pilgrim is even more awesome because he's in a comic book … the series is wildly enjoyable for its absurdist humor, its indelible characters and its growing, inevitable sense of melancholy as Pilgrim becomes that most terrifying of things: 24 years old." Glen David Gold, author of Carter Beats the Devil and Sunnyside About the author Bryan Lee O’Malley is an award-winning Canadian cartoonist. He has been working on a series of graphic novels called Scott Pilgrim. He writes the words and draws the pictures. He occasionally makes music under the name Kupek. |

From the author of “top-drawer true crime” ( Booklist ) books comes the definitive account of Ed Gein—the man whose shocking crimes inspired Psycho , The Texas Chain Saw Massacre , and The Silence of the Lambs . The year was 1957. To his Wisconsin neighbors, Ed Gein was a slight, Midwestern farmhand with a twisted little smile. To an unsuspecting nation, he would become one of the most notorious crime figures in history, having lived for ten years in his own secret world of brutal murder and unthinkable depravity. Here is the grisly true story of “the Butcher of Plainfield,” a deranged killer whose fiendish fantasies inspired such works as Psycho , The Texas Chainsaw Massacre , and The Silence of the Lambs . More horrifying than any movie or novel however, Deviant dares to explore in chilling detail the life and times of one of the most twisted madmen in the annals of true crime—one who still haunts us to this day—and how he transformed his small, nondescript farmhouse in the American heartland into his own private and inescapable domain of ghoulishness and blood. |
