My teammate Rookie laid down three rules when I moved into his place: don't touch his stuff, don't touch his food, and don't touch his sister. Two out of three should be easy enough. In my defense, I didn't know the gorgeous woman at the airport was Ella. The last time I saw Rookie's kid sister, she had braces and a grudge against me for hogging the backseat of her parents' car. She's not a kid anymore. She's a curvy, sharp-tongued nurse who just moved to town, and apparently Rookie offered to let her stay with us. He forgot to mention we don't have a spare room. Now she's sleeping in my bed because I offered to take the couch. At least I'm that much of a gentleman. She's saving lives and studying for some huge test while I try to remember how to be a professional hockey player instead of ogling the hottest woman in Pittsburgh. Ella also asked me for a favor I can't stop thinking about. The kind of favor that would end my friendship with her brother and probably get me traded. I should say no. I should keep my distance. I should focus on the season and stop noticing the way she wears the heck out of those scrub pants. Or the sounds she makes when she eats her brother's leftovers. Or the way my sheets smell like her hair. Yeah. I'm in trouble. I told myself I'd help her out and keep it casual. That I'd be the good guy, the fun roommate, the friend who keeps his hands to himself. But Ella sees right through the party-boy act to the man underneath. And that man is falling so hard he can't see the ice anymore. |

People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits. In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy. These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life. ________________________________ A NEW YORK TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A supremely practical and useful book.'

The New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye and The Rose Code returns with a haunting and powerful story of female friendships and secrets in a Washington, DC, boardinghouse during the McCarthy era. Washington, D.C., 1950 Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House, an all-female boarding house in the heart of the US capital, where secrets hide behind respectable facades. But when the mysterious Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her oddball collection of neighbours – a poised English beauty, a policeman’s daughter, a frustrated female baseball star, and a rabidly pro-McCarthy typist – into an unlikely friendship. Grace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their troubled lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. And when a shocking act of violence tears the house apart, the Briar Club must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their midst?

Master storyteller Jeffrey Archer returns with Tell Tale , a new collection of brilliant short stories. Poignant, engrossing and captivating; this is Archer at his spellbinding best. "Stylish, witty and constantly entertaining ... Jeffrey Archer has a natural aptitude for short stories" The Times Nearly a decade after his last volume of short stories was published, Archer returns with his eagerly-awaited, brand-new collection Tell Tale , giving us a fascinating, exciting and sometimes poignant insight into the people he has met, the stories he has come across and the countries he has visited during the past ten years. Find out what happens to the hapless young detective from Naples who travels to an Italian hillside town to find out Who Killed the Mayor? and the pretentious schoolboy in A Road to Damascus , whose discovery of the origins of his father's wealth changes his life in the most profound way. Revel in the stories of the 1930s woman who dares to challenge the men at her Ivy League University in A Gentleman and A Scholar while another young woman who thumbs a lift gets more than she bargained for in A Wasted Hour . These wonderfully engaging and always refreshingly original tales prove not only why Archer has been compared by the critics to Dahl and Maugham, but why he was described by The Times as probably the greatest storyteller of our age. PRAISE FOR JEFFREY ARCHER'S SHORT STORIES "Somerset Maugham never penned anything so swift or urbanely witty as this" Publishers Weekly "The short story has always been Jeffrey Archer's strong suit and here he grips you quickly, puts you on the scent of a mystery, and moves you towards a charming moment of revelation" The Scotsman "Outstanding . . . white-knuckle suspense and witty denouements. An enjoyable, suspense-filled rival to Roald Dahl" Daily Express "If there was a Nobel prize for storytelling, Archer would win" Daily Telegraph |

She was supposed to be a pawn. Now I’ll burn down the world to keep her safe. I thought I knew what evil looked like. I was wrong. For years, I believed Victor Kane was the monster at the center of everything...  The man pulling strings, destroying lives, and hunting the people I love. I was prepared to burn down the world to stop him. But Victor was only a distraction. The truth is darker. Older. More sinister. And it’s been watching me far longer than I ever realized. Now Ariana is caught in the crosshairs of something far bigger than revenge. Something that doesn’t just want power. It wants obedience. Devotion. Sacrifice. I’ve hunted monsters my entire life. But this time, the monster isn’t in the shadows. He’s been standing beside me all along. |

CORINNE My name is Corinne Boudreaux, and two years ago, I made a mistake called Beau Landry. Our fathers are enemies, our families tied to different sides of the city. Boudreaux and Landry might be the strongest names in New Orleans, but that doesn't make us friends.  It certainly doesn't mean we share one-night stands that leave us scarred for life. And yet, when I follow my brother to a party, curious, and the men he's trailing try to grab me, Beau's is the number I dial when I get outside. A number I never thought I'd use again. A number I didn't mean to save. A man my heart is still reaching for two years later. But now that we're together, we have a big problem. Because those men are after us, and I'm starting to suspect that I do know what they want. If I'm right, it's not pretty. And I'm not sure even Beau Landry can save me from what they have planned.   BEAU Corinne Boudreax. The biggest mistake of my life. It only lasted a night, and I've never told anyone about it because the Landry and Boudreaux families don't mix. But I never forgot about her. And when her name flashes across my screen on the night my father is having a suspicious party, and I hear nothing but panicked breathing on the other side… It suddenly stops mattering that I'm not supposed to talk to her. All that matters is that the girl came into my life and wrapped herself around my soul when she wasn't supposed to, and now she's in trouble. When I find out what kind of trouble she's in… I never set out to be a hero, and I would have said my soul was as black as they come.  But Corinne's call changes that, and before I can blink I'm sacrificing myself for her again. And this time, our alliance is going to change everything.   Escape is the third book in the New Orleans Rogues: Boudreaux series, and is gothic mafia romance that includes themes of human trafficking, dub-con, enemies to lovers, and murder. The book is full of adventure, angst, dark romance, and spice, and will make you want a Beau Landry (or Corinne Boudreaux) of your very own.   New Orleans Rogues: Boudreaux features eight books that occur on the same timeline for a unique, high-stakes read that won't let you breathe until the very end. The series is written in duos, starting with Brooks and Lucien and continuing with Beau and Corinne.     |

And when a media circus descends, Matt has no choice but to get Eve out of the fray—to a safe-house in the Yucatan.

THE MAJOR NEW BIOGRAPHY OF THE LATE QUEEN: AN INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. ' Impeccably researched . . . Hugo Vickers offers us his piercing insights into the innermost workings of the Royal family' - DAILY MAIL 'His knowledge of royalty and aristocracy is encyclopaedic . . . and his deep emotional connection with Elizabeth II and certain members of her family is given full throttle. The detail about a very public woman who, at the same time, was very private, is so remarkable ' - TELEGRAPH 5-STAR REVIEW ' The closest thing to an authorised life one is likely to read. Intelligent, intuitive and scrupulously researched' - QUADRANT MAGAZINE 'A perfect match between subject and writer . . . The level of detail in Queen Elizabeth II: A Personal History is unequalled ' - THE TIMES 'Vickers is the Tolstoy of royal biography, creating a vast and detailed panorama , the eccentric footnotes a glorious satire of scholarship.' - SPECTATOR Queen Elizabeth II occupies a unique place in the hearts of her people, and in this major biography marking the Centenary of her birth, acclaimed royal historian Hugo Vickers sheds new light on the woman behind the greatest reign in British history. Based on six decades of close research into her life and reign, this master work contains not only archival research and close personal observation but many hours of conversation with those who knew and worked with The Queen. After a supremely happy decade of early childhood, a certain gravitas descended with the death of her beloved grandfather, George V, and the Abdication of her uncle Edward VIII. As Vickers reveals in impeccable prose, she accepted her destiny and worked steadfastly to prepare for what was to come, dedicating her life to the service of the Commonwealth. On her twenty-first birthday in 1947, she made a promise to serve and kept it for a remarkable seventy-five years. She was steadfast and conciliatory and presided calmly over decades of change, political upheaval and family tragedy. Described by the Financial Times as 'the most knowledgeable royal biographer on the planet', Vickers is completely at home in the world of Queen Elizabeth II. He has worked with members of her family on various projects and also met with members of her Household. He first met The Queen in 1968 and had his last conversation with her in June 2022. This is his most incisive book yet, decoding hidden patterns in our most iconic monarch's behaviour to illuminate her as never before. ----- Queen Elizabeth II was an instant Top 10 Sunday Times bestseller in the w/c 13.04.2026. |

'An obligatory read for anyone who wants to understand the new forces shaping the future.' Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer-prize winning, New York Times bestselling author of Autocracy, Inc. and Twilight of Democracy. ' Couldn't be more timely. Mixes story-telling and analysis to illuminate the new technological arms race.' Peter Pomerantsev author of Nothing is True and Everything is Possible When it comes to global dominance, military technology has always been a major geopolitical driver. For decades, the West set the rules on innovation using soft power and government funding to develop its own exclusive cutting-edge defensive capabilities. But in the digital era, the breakthroughs - be it AI systems and autonomous drones, satellite internet or advanced semiconductors - are coming from private companies, not government labs. In Bytes and Bullets , Steve Feldstein explains how technology is transforming geopolitics, upending the ways that countries compete, and how they wage war. Through captivating stories and original field research, he shows how the West's dominance is being undercut at every turn by a combination of commercialization, authoritarian convergence led by China and Russia, and the emergence of new regional powers hungry for more influence. A new tech cold war is coming into focus fast and restrictions and sanctions are no longer enough to maintain international stability. Feldstein reports from its front line in this rich and at times alarming account of this pivotal moment in history, making an urgent call for the West to act now, or risk losing its international standing forever. |

And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear—and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence.

89. The Psychology of Money - Morgan Housel
|
|||
|
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. Praise for the book: 'It's one of the best and most original finance books in years.' - Jason Zweig, The Wall Street Journal ' The Psychology of Money is bursting with interesting ideas and practical takeaways. Quite simply, it is essential reading for anyone interested in being better with money. Everyone should own a copy.' - James Clear, Author, million-copy bestseller, Atomic Habits 'Few people write about finance with the graceful clarity of Morgan Housel. The Psychology of Money is an essential read for anyone who wants to make wiser decisions or live a richer life.' - Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of When , To Sell Is Human , and Drive 'Morgan Housel is that rare writer who can translate complex concepts into gripping, easy-to-digest narrative. The Psychology of Money is a fast-paced, engaging read that will leave you with both the knowledge to understand why we make bad financial decisions and the tools to make better ones.' - Annie Duke, Author, Thinking in Bets 'Housel's observations often hit the daily double: they say things that haven't been said before, and they make sense.' - Howard Marks, Director and Co-Chairman, Oaktree Capital & Author, The Most Important Thing and Mastering the Market Cycle 'Morgan Housel is one of the brightest new lights among financial writers. He is accessible to everyone wanting to learn more about the psychology of money. I highly recommend this book.' - James P. O'Shaughnessy, Author, What Works on Wall Street |

But as she climbs the ladder of publishing success, she resolutely adheres to her father's admonition: Men read crime thrillers by men only--and so Alexandra Winslow publishes under the pseudonym Alexander Green, her true identity known known only to those closest to her, creating a double life that isolates her. Her secret life as the mysterious and brilliantly successful Alexander Green--and her own life as a talented young woman--expose her to the envious, the arrogant, and Hollywood players who have no idea who she really is. Always, the right time to open up seems just out of reach, and would cost her dearly. Once her double life and fame are established, the price of the truth is always too high. |

Return to Avalon Bay in this sexy second chance story about two exes who can't stay away from each other . . . When former bad girl Genevieve West returns home for her mother's funeral, she's prepared to keep her distance from her ex-boyfriend, Evan Hartley. Their history is rife with turbulence. And passion. A heck of a lot of passion . . . which she's trying desperately to forget. But it's impossible not to run into Evan in the small coastal town where they once ran wild. And the moment she sees her gorgeous ex again, it's clear to Gen that Evan is still as unruly, sexy and irresistible as ever. This time around, however, she's resolved to walk a new path. No more partying. No more foolish mistakes. Her plan is to temporarily remain in town to help her father run his business, but the second he finds somebody else, she's out of there. Evan has other ideas. He knows they can be good together, but he just has to convince Genevieve of that, even if it means turning over a new leaf himself. But can a bad reputation ever truly be shed? Do second chances really work? Genevieve and Evan are about to find out. Why readers love Avalon Bay: 'Delicious, complicated and drama-filled. . . I read it in one sitting, and you will, too' L. J.
