When the draft lottery all but guarantees they'll play for rival teams, Alex accidentally walks them right into a loser-buys dinner competition, ensuring their relationship remains a point of interest long after the season begins.

32. The Mountain Is You - Brianna Wiest
|
|||
|
This book is about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves. |

|
Elämä on tässä ja nyt. Näyttelijä-yrittäjä Olga Temosen tarina elämästä ennen ja jälkeen vakavan sairausdiagnoosin. Marraskuussa 2023 näyttelijä ja yrittäjä Olga Temonen sai lohduttoman diagnoosin: hänellä todettiin aggressiivinen aivosyöpä, jota ei voitu leikata. Ennuste oli huono, mutta Olga päätti kääntää kaikki kivet, jotta saisi vielä jäädä tänne. Aika jonka sain on kertomus Olgan vimmaisesta elämänhalusta, kamppailusta sairauden kukistamiseksi ja haaveesta elää mahdollisimman normaalia arkea yrittäjänä, siskona, tyttärenä, puolisona ja kolmen lapsen äitinä. Kirja palaa myös ajassa taaksepäin Olgan elämän tärkeisiin hetkiin, jotka ovat vaikuttaneet siihen, kuka hän on ja mistä hänen ajatuksensa kumpuavat. Parantumaton syöpä kääntää ihmisen maailman uuteen, vieraaseen asentoon, mutta silti elämään voi mahtua surun ja luopumisen pelon lisäksi suuria ilon hetkiä – ja myös uudenlaisia unelmia. Olgan tarina tarjoaa vakavasti sairaille ja heidän läheisilleen vertaistukea ja toivoa – ymmärrystä siitä, että vakavan sairauden kanssa voi elää hyvää, onnellistakin elämää. Anneli Juutilainen (s. 1983) on espoolainen freelance-toimittaja ja tietokirjailija, joka on työskennellyt pitkään muun muassa Ilta-Sanomissa, Seurassa ja Kotiliedessä. Hän on aiemmin kirjoittanut kirjat Kirjeitä nuorelle itselleni ja Lähtösi jälkeen. Kertomuksia surusta ja selviytymisestä. Olga Temonen (s. 1978, k. 2025) oli Iitissä asuva näyttelijä ja yrittäjä, joka näyttelijäntöiden ohella piti miehensä Tuukka Temosen kanssa suosittua kotieläinpiha Olgan farmia ja pizzeria Rehtoria. |

56. North American Lake Monsters - Nathan Ballingrud
|
|||
|
Nathan Ballingrud's Shirley Jackson Award winning debut collection is a shattering and luminous experience not to be missed by those who love to explore the darker parts of the human psyche. Monsters, real and imagined, external and internal, are the subject. They are us and we are them and Ballingrud's intense focus makes these stories incredibly intense and irresistible. These are love stories. And also monster stories. Sometimes these are monsters in their traditional guises, sometimes they wear the faces of parents, lovers, or ourselves. The often working-class people in these stories are driven to extremes by love. Sometimes, they are ruined; sometimes redeemed. All are faced with the loneliest corners of themselves and strive to find an escape. Nathan Ballingrud was born in Massachusetts but has spent most of his life in the South. He worked as a bartender in New Orleans and New York City and a cook on offshore oil rigs. His story "The Monsters of Heaven" won the inaugural Shirley Jackson Award. He lives in Asheville, North Carolina, with his daughter. |
57. Capitalism - Sven Beckert

|
*A New York Times Notable Book * A Financial Times Best Book of the Year 'A learned, formidable and vivid story… Readers around the world will study and ponder this monumental work of history, agreeing and arguing with it, all the while affirming its generational importance, for decades to come' The New York Times 'Epic… Read this book and you will learn innumerable things you did not previously know culled from places you have never been' Financial Times A brilliant global narrative that unravels the defining story of the past thousand years No other phenomenon has shaped human history as decisively as capitalism. It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organise our politics. Sven Beckert situates the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework in this fascinating new book. Capitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from merchant communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, capitalism’s radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. Then it burst onto the world scene, as European states and merchants built a powerful alliance that would propel them across the oceans. This epic drama corresponded at no point to an idealised dream of free markets. All along, state-backed institutions and imperial expansions shaped its dynamics. Capitalism decentres the European perspective, highlighting agency, resistance, innovation and ruthless coercion around the world through to the present with the rise of Asian economies, particularly China. Sven Beckert doesn’t merely add up capitalism’s debits and credits in this monumental book, but allows us to think afresh about the past to help us re-imagine the future. |

|

|
Everybody wants to be creative. Creativity makes life more fun, more interesting and more full of achievement, but too many people believe that creativity is something you are born with and cannot be learned. In How to Have Creative Ideas Edward de Bono - the leading authority on creative thinking - outlines 62 different games and exercises, built around random words chosen from a list, to help encourage creativity and lateral thinking. For example, if the task were to provide an idea for a new restaurant and the random word chosen was 'cloak', ideas generated might be: a highwayman theme; a Venetian theme with gondolas; masked waiters and waitresses. Or, if asked to make a connection between the two random words 'desk' and 'shorts', readers may come up with: both are functional; desks have 'knee holes' and shorts expose the knees; traditionally they were both male-associated items. All the exercises are simple, practical and fun, and can be done by anyone. |

But dark forces were on the move from the Northlands, and it was left to Bremen and those few who supported him in his work with the arcane arts to stand against the enemy's seemingly-invincible Troll army. For at the heart of the evil tide was an archmage and former Druid named Brona... Using the special skills he had acquired through his own study of Magic, Bremen was able to penetrate the huge camp of the Troll army and learn many of its secrets. And he immediately understood that if the peoples of the Four Lands were to escape eternal subjugation they would need to unite. But, even when united, they would need a weapon, something so powerful that the evil magic of Brona, the Warlock Lord, would fail before its might...

CONFIGURING SYSTEM UPDATES… Sangwoo Choo’s life is falling apart. Trying to function normally while dealing with intense sexual urges for the first time is hard enough. It’s infinitely worse when the object of both his heart’s and body’s desire is everything he wasn’t looking for in a partner. Jaeyoung Jang is a man, a slob, a serial procrastinator, and someone who seems to get angry at the strangest things…but he’s also drop-dead gorgeous and the most talented designer Sangwoo’s ever had the pleasure of working with. Not that Jaeyoung is faring any better. He’s never met anybody more infuriating yet adorable, and if he’s being honest with himself, it’s obvious the feeling welling up inside him is way more than simple lust—in fact, it might be another “L” word altogether.

74. Six Frames - Edward de Bono
|
|||
|
Attention is a key part of thinking clearly and productively, and yet we pay very little attention to attention itself. If you see someone lying injured in the middle of the road, for example, your attention would go to that person but, if a bright pink dog wandered past at the same time, your attention would automatically stray to the dog. That is precisely the weakness of attention - it is pulled to the unusual. How much attention do we pay to the usual? So, what can we do about it? Instead of waiting for attention to be pulled towards something unusual, we can set out frameworks for 'directing' our attention in a conscious manner. Just as we can decide to look north, west or even south-east, so we can set up a framework for directing our attention, and that's where Edward de Bono's 'six frames' come in. Each frame is a direction or method in/with which to look, based on a different shape - triangle, circle, heart, square, diamond, slab. Today we are literally surrounded by information and it has never been so easy to obtain. Yet, information itself is not enough; it's how we look at it that really counts. Using the 'six frames' technique is the key to extracting real value from the masses of facts and figures out there and, like all de Bono's techniques, it is simple, effective and will utterly change the way you interpret information. |

76. Remu - Henry Aaltosen ihmeellinen elämä - Emilia Miettinen
|
|||
|
Ihminen rocktähden takana. Ensimmäinen perinteinen elämäkerta legendaarisesta muusikosta ja miehestä, jonka tietävät kaikki, mutta tuntee vain harva. Henry Olavi "Remu" Aaltonen on yksi suomalaisen populaarikulttuurin merkittävimmistä nimistä. Hänen perustamansa uraauurtava rockbändi Hurriganes nousi 1970-luvulla kymmenien tuhansien suomalaisten nuorten sukupolvikokemukseksi ja jätti pysyvän jäljen Suomen musiikin historiaan. Aaltosen periksiantamattomuus, tinkimätön työmoraali ja intohimo musiikkiin nostivat junavaunussa lapsena asuneen romaniperheen esikoisen ja entisen linnakundin musiikkimaailman uudisraivaajaksi ja suureksi suomalaiseksi taiteilijaksi. Teos piirtää henkilökohtaisen ja elävän kuvan ihmisestä – hänen elämästään, urastaan ja persoonastaan – rocktähden takana. Aaltosen poikkeuksellinen tarina valottaa myös niitä yhteiskunnallisia ja kulttuurihistoriallisia olosuhteita, joissa hän kasvoi äidin poika Henrystä rokkikukko Remuksi ja edelleen kansakunnan omaleimaiseksi kansallisaarteeksi. Kirja perustuu kymmeniin Aaltosen keittiössä vietettyihin tunteihin sekä lukuisiin tämän lähipiirin ja yhteistyökumppaneiden haastatteluihin ja kirjallisiin lähteisiin. Emilia Miettinen on Voima-lehden päätoimittaja ja musafani. Ennen journalistin uraansa hän työskenteli kustannusalalla. |

96. Lovers of Franz K. - Burhan Sönmez
|
|||
|
A thriller of love and revenge, and an imaginative literary obituary for Kafka, bringing the Cold War to life, from Paris and Istanbul to West Berlin and Tel Aviv. "The novel vaults from interrogation to trial to poetic accounts of Ferdy's youth, rendered in Samî Hêzil's lyrical translation … Sönmez playfully expands Kafka's world in a literary experiment that encourages readers to reimagine the unfinished work of their heroes" Financial Times "The dialogue-led approach makes the book punchy and fast-moving, and brings some surprising twists before the end" Guardian "Did Max Brod commit a crime by not fulfilling Kafka's last will – to burn all his works? Burhan Sönmez is not a judge. He is only a scribe at the Last Judgment, recording the speeches of the parties. And he does his job brilliantly" Mikhail Shishkin "An inventive literary obituary for Kafka, perfect for both Kafka fans and lovers of historical literary page-turners in the vein of Anne Berest's The Postcard and Colm Toibin's The Magician " SA Examiner –––––––––––– West Berlin, 1968. As a youth uprising sweeps over Europe in the shadow of the Cold War, two men face each other across an interrogation table. One, Ferdy Kaplan, has shot and killed a student. Kommissar Müller, the other is trying to find out why. As his interrogation progresses, Kaplan's background is revealed piece by piece, including the love story between him and his childhood friend Amalya, their shared passion for Kafka, and the radical youth movement they joined. When it transpires that Kaplan's intended target was not the student but Max Brod, Franz Kafka's close friend and the executor of his literary estate, the interrogation of a murderer slowly transforms into a dialogue between a passionate admirer of Kafka's work, who is attempting to protect the author's final wish to have his manuscripts burned, and a police commissioner who is learning more about literature than he ever thought possible from a prisoner in his custody. In this gripping, thought-provoking tribute to Kafka, Burhan Sönmez vividly recreates a key period of history in the 1960s, when the Berlin Wall divided Europe. More than a typical mystery, Lovers of Franz K. is an exploration of the value of books, and the issues of anti-Semitism, immigration, and violence that recur in Kafka's life and writings. –––––––––––– "A homage to Franz Kafka, framed as the trial (of course) of Ferdy Kaplan … [Sönmez] queries how far one should go in the pursuit of what is important to us' The Times "The kind of book that will enthral a student and intrigue an Oxford don, thrill a worker on the factory floor and captivate a lifelong reader of Kafka" Lemn Sissay "Did Max Brod commit a crime by not fulfilling Kafka's last will – to burn all his works? Burhan Sönmez is not a judge. He is only a scribe at the Last Judgment, recording the speeches of the parties. And he does his job brilliantly" Mikhail Shishkin "A gripping tale of idealism colliding with history and moral uncertainty" Ava Homa, author of Daughters of Smoke and Fire "PEN International president Sönmez wrestles with fraught questions of loyalty and legacy in this contemplative literary thriller … Sönmez's sharp thematic layering and concise worldbuilding impress. This is a good bet for mystery readers seeking something off the beaten path" Publishers Weekly |

Dr Hannah Havens is successful, independent, but as prickly as a hedgehog in a blackberry bush. And definitely not looking for love. When she returns to the small town where she grew up, the last thing she needs is to crash into Teddy Fraser, the infuriatingly gorgeous guy that she once snogged.

Hannah’s patience with his overtly cheery disposition is wearing thin, but her boss has warned her to improve her people skills. Who better to test out her new patience with than Teddy Fraser.

100. The Secret of Ventriloquism - Jon Padgett
|
|||
|
Jon Padgett's acclaimed collection/hybrid novel, The Secret of Ventriloquism, named the Best Fiction Book by Rue Morgue Magazine, now returns in an expanded edition of the original, with three new stories. The book features Dave Felton's iconic cover art and frontispiece as well as a Foreword by the legendary Thomas Ligotti.  With themes reminiscent of Shirley Jackson, Ligotti, and Bruno Schulz, but with a strikingly unique vision, Padgett's work explores the mystery of human suffering, the agony of personal existence, and the ghastly means by which someone might achieve salvation from both. A bullied child seeks vengeance within a bed's hollow box spring. A lucid dreamer is haunted by an impossible house. A dummy reveals its own anatomy in 20 simple steps. A paranoid flyer's worst fears are realized in a way not even he could imagine. A stuttering librarian holds the key to a mill town's unspeakable secrets. A commuter's worldview is shattered by two words printed on a cardboard sign. An aspiring ventriloquist spends a little too much time looking at himself in a mirror. A job-fatigued woman seeks out an invisible, identity-blasting hole of alluvium from her past. A spirit of homelessness plans its escape to a possibly mythical mountain. A fog-soaked city heaves its dying breath. And a presence speaks through them all. |
