1. J***a karlar - Andrev Walden
|
|||
Julen 1983 skakas en tvåplansvilla i skogarna utanför Norrköping av ett våldsamt bråk och en hemlighet trillar ut ur en mamma. En sjuårig pojke som heter Andrev får veta att hans pappa inte är hans pappa. Den riktiga bor i ett land långt bort och har hår ner till axlarna. Som en indian, säger mamman och tecknar mot armbågen för att pojken ska förstå. Det brusar i pojken för det är det bästa han har hört. Det känns som att han är pojken i en bok om en pojke som får veta att hans pappa är kung i ett magiskt land och att en ande ska komma för att ta med honom dit. Men det kommer inga andar, bara nya pappor som inte är hans.   Andrev Walden romandebuterar med en vild berättelse om att växa upp i spillrorna av 68-rörelsen, om mammor som står under köksfläkten och säger j***a karlar, om hur kärlek börjar och slutar, om en skalperad hamster men framför allt om män. Man hinner lära sig en del om denna besynnerliga art när man har sju pappor på sju år. |

|
|||
Första delen i en ny spänningsserie! I Denise Rudbergs polisroman Dancing Queen synas ett land som ännu inte förlorat sin oskuld, där kvinnor ska veta sin plats och där maktapparaten håller borta oliktänkande och störande element. Det är en tid då man tittar på MASH på kvällarna och dansar disco på helgerna – men där bordellhärvan, IB-affären och andra skuggverksamheter effektivt sopas under mattan. Två kvinnliga poliser – Karin ”Kaiser” Johansson och Agneta Thorén – kliver oberoende av varandra in i ett getingbo av lögner, brott och konspirationer på högsta ort. Karin arbetar på våldsroteln och närmar sig en chefsposition efter en lång karriär inom kåren. Agneta har efter en hörselskada i samband med gisslandramat vid västtyska ambassaden tvingats till skrivbordstjänstgöring. Året är 1976. Stockholm rustar för sommarens kungabröllop, brudparet ska dansa till Dancing Queen – men samtidigt fortsätter personer nära maktens centrum att med våld skydda sina dolda verksamheter. Ju närmare sanningen du kommer, desto fler fiender får du… Denise Rudberg debuterade med Väninnan (2000) och har sedan dess skrivit flera framgångsrika romaner, som kriminalserien om Marianne Jidhoff och den historiska romanserien Kontrahenterna om kvinnliga kodknäckare under andra världskriget. Totalt har hennes böcker sålt i nära fem miljoner exemplar och hon är idag en av Sveriges mest lästa författare. |
5. The Creative Act - Rick Rubin
|
|||
The #1 New York Times bestseller. "A gorgeous and inspiring work of art on creation, creativity, the work of the artist. It will gladden the hearts of writers and artists everywhere, and get them working again with a new sense of meaning and direction. A stunning accomplishment.” —Anne Lamott From the legendary music producer, a master at helping people connect with the wellsprings of their creativity, comes a beautifully crafted book many years in the making that offers that same deep wisdom to all of us. “ I set out to write a book about what to do to make a great work of art. Instead, it revealed itself to be a book on how to be.” —Rick Rubin Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, as he has thought deeply about where creativity comes from and where it doesn’t, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world. Creativity has a place in everyone’s life, and everyone can make that place larger. In fact, there are few more important responsibilities. The Creative Act is a beautiful and generous course of study that illuminates the path of the artist as a road we all can follow. It distills the wisdom gleaned from a lifetime’s work into a luminous reading experience that puts the power to create moments—and lifetimes—of exhilaration and transcendence within closer reach for all of us. |

Discover the #BookTok sports romance series everyone is talking about RYAN She's a distraction, that's what she is. I'm the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago's NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister's best friend, to move into my apartment. She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting. But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate. The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural. Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her. INDY I never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy. Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and untrusting of others. Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's celebrity hero. Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love. I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend's brother was the right move after all . . . |

One woman, letting her hair down after another fight with her father over how she runs her winery—and her life. One too many glasses of wine. What does it all add up to? A one night stand. Chelsea Hamilton has led a charmed life. She’s a golden girl who has it all. She grew up in the lap of luxury surrounded by a loving family. She’s no spoiled little rich girl, though. She has a huge heart, a kind heart, a giving heart – a heart that sometimes blinds her to the more practical considerations in life—and business. She just wants to be allowed to run the winery her way. Okay, so the profit margins might not be in line with the rest of Hamilton-Groves, but it’s not like she’s making a loss. Unfortunately, her father believes she can be brought into line and he’s hired Grant Dawson to turn the winery around, and to teach Chelsea a few lessons in the process. Grant’s eager to prove his worth to the patriarch of Hamilton-Groves. He’s masterminded dozens of successful corporate turnarounds. He doesn’t foresee many difficulties in whipping a little winery into shape. It should be a straightforward job that will hopefully lead to more work with the Hamilton Groves Corporation. It should be, it would be—if the woman he’s supposed to be helping wasn’t the very same woman he hasn’t been able to get out of his mind since he let her out of his bed twenty-four hours ago.

15. Svarta sekunder - Karin Fossum
|
|||
Jacob Skarre noterade på blocket vad kvinnan sade, och en rad motstridiga känslor växte fram inom honom. Ida Joner, en tioårig flicka från Glasbruket, var två timmar försenad. Något måste ha hänt. Men det behövde inte vara något förfärligt, bara en liten bagatell. Som ett smärtande getingstick först, och så den ljuvaste lindring av dem alla. Mors trygga famn. Han log för sig själv vid tanken han hade sett detta så många gånger förr. Samtidigt skyggade han inför allt det som kanske skulle komma.     Ida Joner skulle bara ta en tur till kiosken på sin gula cykel för att köpa senaste numret av hästtidningen Wendy och så Bugg för pengarna som blev över. Men hon kommer inte tillbaka. Den tionde september, nio dagar senare och den dagen hon skulle ha fyllt tio år, hittar man henne vid en vägkant, fint och ordentligt inlindad i ett blommigt täcke.     Hennes ansikte är fullt synligt, ögonen slutna. Kinderna är mycket bleka, huden till synes helt oskadd. Inga röda märken, inga skador på huvudet, inget synligt blod, inga spår av smärta. Men något är fel. Hon har inte på sig den joggingdress och de skor hon försvann i. Hon är klädd i ett nytt, vitt nattlinne, hon påminner om en liten älva i en saga.     Det blir en lång och svår utredning för Konrad Sejer och hans assistent Jacob Skarre. Här finns inget motiv, ingen logisk förklaring till mordet. Återigen visar Karin Fossum sin otroliga begåvning att beskriva och tränga in i människors psyke, med djup insikt och stor medkänsla.     Svarta sekunder är Karin Fossums sjätte kriminalroman. Sammanlagt har hennes böcker sålts i mer än 500 000 exemplar i Sverige. |

I will spend my entire life loving her even if she's determined to leave me.  She's Juliet and I'm Romeo.  Claire Just when things between mom and I seem to be getting better, Rose has a scare that lands her in the hospital. Mom discovers that I've been keeping Carmel a secret from her and tells me that we're not welcome at Apple Blossom B&B.  So I pack up my bags and head to the only place I can think of that will take me and a pregnant dog in…Jax.  Of course, he answers the door in just a towel with his hair damp and his chest glistening from water droplets. Thankfully, I regain my senses and ask him for a place to stay while I sort out my life. He's hesitant, but agrees.  His only condition: I work my room and board off at his pub.  Which seemed easy enough. Until I see just how popular he is with the ladies and I hate that those pesky twinges of jealousy rise up in my chest when I see him enjoying that attention just a little too much.  I'm angry at my mom and I'm angry with Jax. One drunken night, I do the unthinkable. I ask Jax if his lips feel the same as they did when we were dating as teens.  His gaze turns dark as he stares at me and asks, "Do you want me to kiss you, Claire?" I know I should say no, but I don't. Now everything has changed but I'm still the same Claire with all the issues I that had before.  I know how our story ends. I've lived it before. Fate doesn't want us together. Ever. Juniper I'm determined to put my life with Steve behind me. He was my past and I'm ready to focus on my future. Mom and dad? They aren't so convinced.  Sure, they offer to let me work at Godwin's Grocery. It's a simple job that lets me get out of the house and focus on healing. But I wonder if it's just a way for my parents to keep tabs on me.  I haven't told them what happened with Steve. My black eye speaks volumes all on its own. I know they want to know what happened. Especially since he's a Proctor: the wealthiest family in town. But that's a road I don't want to go down… Until Steve calls me. He's sorry for what he did and he wants to talk. We'd been together for so long, that I agree. It's the least I can do.  Mom and dad don't want me to go, but I'm an adult, I can make these decisions on my own. Until mom suggests that I take the new hire with me. His name is Boone and he looks like he belongs on the battlefield, not stocking shelves.  Not wanting to start a fight, I agree. But when Boone doesn't leave my side, my parents plan starts to unfold. In the small town of Harmony Island, they found me a bone fide bodyguard.  I'm annoyed and I let Boone know it. I'll be fine. My future doesn't include Steve until…it does. |

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College, Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet's already wondering how she'll get through. It's not just that it's grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it's designed to stretch the riders' capacity for pain beyond endurance. It's the new vice commandant, who's made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is - unless she betrays the man she loves. Although Violet's body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else's, she still has her wits, and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules. But a determination to survive won't be enough this year. Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College - and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end. __________________________________________ ⭐ R eviews for Fourth Wing ⭐ 'This book is probably the best fantasy book I have ever read' ***** READER REVIEW 'A MILLION STARS!!!!!!!!!

|
|||
An Amazon Most Anticipated Book! “Shelly Laurenston’s shifter books are full of oddball characters, strong females with attitude and dialogue that can have you laughing out loud.” — The Philadelphia Inquirer The Honey Badgers are at it again in the New York Times bestselling and  outstandingly witty, snarky, sexy, shape-shifting, world-building Honey Badger Chronicles. This time around, a family of clueless tiger shifter brothers have no idea how lucky they are to have caught the eye of three fierce honey badger females. Emily “Tock” Meyerson-Jackson is on a mission to rid the world of shifters trafficking humans for hunting and cash. And now that she’s narrowed down her suspects to a brutal coalition of male lions, nothing will get between this honey badger and her prey—not even a dog-loving Tiger with absolutely no time management skills. Doesn’t matter that Shay Malone is ferociously adorable. With a war brewing between cat families, Tock doesn’t have time to lounge around with a football-playing tiger shifter. But when she realizes the coalition is also responsible for the death of Shay’s father, she’s forced to partner up with the flirtatious feline. . . .   Revenge is most definitely on the menu for Shay and his tiger shifter brothers. But when it comes to Shay’s alluring partner in crime-solving, so is seduction. Tock might be a bad-ass of a honey badger, but she’s awfully cute when she’s flashing her fangs, which she’s pretty much doing all the time these days. Good thing revenge is a dish best served hot. Because when it comes to Tock, Shay knows just how to turn up the heat. . . .   |

|

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a new novel in her Blood and Ash series…  Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance? A Betrayal… Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him . The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her. A Choice…. Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation. A Secret… But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late. |

Falling for my frenemy? Out of the question.  Easton: For as long as I can remember, I’ve been giving Hanna a hard time—and she’s been giving it right back. So we’re both shocked to find ourselves on the same side of a project: helping Hanna win the heart of the celebrity chef hired by my family’s business to give summer workshops. It shouldn’t be a big deal. A wardrobe evaluation. A shopping trip. Maybe some how-to-get-the-guy advice. I’m an expert on matters of the heart—or, at least matters of the mattress.  But as Hanna starts to trust me and open up, I see her differently. She’s not so much blunt as refreshingly honest, not so much a plain Jane in baggy clothes as… deliciously curvy. And hidden under that spiky, steely exterior is a soft heart she doesn’t show anyone.  Suddenly, the project includes ogling Hanna in dressing room mirrors. Offering her kissing lessons. And desperately trying not to give in to the sizzling heat between us.  I have to let her know the plan has changed: I’ll still help her get the guy she wants. I just need to somehow convince her that it’s me.   A steamy, opposites-attract, enemies-to-lovers (or is it friends-to-lovers? So hard to tell with these two!), mountain man small-town rom com. |

I don't usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I'm flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn't help that he's buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we're roommates? I suppose it doesn't matter. Fitzy has made it clear he's not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I'm not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I'm not about to start. I've got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he's missing? He knows where to find me. Praise for Elle Kennedy: 'Delicious, complicated and drama-filled . . .

Reacher follows the killer, not knowing that this was no random act of violence. It is part of something much bigger...a sinister, secret conspiracy, with powerful people on the take, enmeshed in an elaborate plot that leaves no room for error. If any step is compromised, the threat will have to be quickly and permanently removed. Because when the threat is Reacher, there is No Plan B... 'Perfectly plotted, with bigger twists than ever before' KARIN SLAUGHTER 'The world's favourite hero packs an even harder punch than ever' PETER JAMES Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, No Plan B is the 27th book in the internationally bestselling series. No Plan B was a No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller in May 2023. |

50. A Soul as Cold as Frost - Jennifer Kropf
|
|||
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good fright…" The Quarrel of Sword and Bone was a death sentence for anyone who stepped into the arena with the deranged Queen, whose soul had crisped to frost in an age long since past. What if St. Nicholas was really a young, mad trickster and you had the one thing he wanted? What if the only person who agreed to protect you from him had a dark past of letting those he's meant to protect die? What if one day you're walking in the city and suddenly you can see a whole other world tucked into the cracks of your own? Sixteen-year-old Helen Bell understood tragedy better than most kids growing up. She knew what it was like to wear clothes from donation bins and be mocked in school. She thought those brutal experiences made her ready for anything, but when an encounter leaves her able to see a species of invisible people walking among us, and a young, handsome Winter guardian appears to aid her in a crisis, all the holiday legends she heard as a child begin to haunt her. After magical happenings infiltrate her daily life, and a train horn begins calling to her from across the city, she finds herself in the middle of a war of good versus evil. A Soul as Cold as Frost is Jennifer Kropf's debut novel, ideal for fans of  The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe  by C.S. Lewis,  Harry Potter  by J. K. Rowling, and  The Nutcracker and the Four Realms  by Meredith Rusu and Ashleigh Powell. "Wow, I loved this book! I've not read anything quite like it before, and the author pulls it off wonderfully. This book was a magical twist between Narnia, Alice in Wonderland, and Spirited Away, yet somehow read as effortlessly original. The descriptions are vivid and really make you feel like you're freezing, trudging through snow, or drinking the best hot chocolate of your life. It was gripping, fast paced and full of action, yet not lacking in heart. Highly recommended for young YA readers upwards."   - USA Today Bestselling author Alice Ivinya "It's the Chronicles of Narnia meets Harry Potter. This fantastic winter tale is the perfect blend of classic portal fantasy and the magic world co-existing with our own. It's a beautiful reminder of what is truly important in life." - USA Today Bestselling author Astrid V. J. |

The city that greets Al'Lan Mandragoran, exiled king of Malkier and the finest swordsman of his generation, is instead one that is rife with rumour and the whisperings of Shadowspawn. Proof, should he have required it, that the Dark One grows powerful once more and that his minions are at work throughout the lands. And yet it is within Canluum's walls that Lan will meet a woman who will shape his destiny. Moiraine is a young and powerful Aes Sedai who has journeyed to the city in search of a bondsman. She requires aid in a desperate quest to prove the truth of a vague and largely discredited prophecy - one that speaks of a means to turn back the shadow, and of a child who may be the dragon reborn.

54. This is Your Brain on Music - Daniel Levitin
|
|||
From the author of The Changing Mind and The Organized Mind comes a New York Times bestseller that unravels the mystery of our perennial love affair with music ***** 'What do the music of Bach, Depeche Mode and John Cage fundamentally have in common?' Music is an obsession at the heart of human nature, even more fundamental to our species than language. From Mozart to the Beatles, neuroscientist, psychologist and internationally-bestselling author Daniel Levitin reveals the role of music in human evolution, shows how our musical preferences begin to form even before we are born and explains why music can offer such an emotional experience. In This Is Your Brain On Music Levitin offers nothing less than a new way to understand music, and what it can teach us about ourselves. ***** 'Music seems to have an almost wilful, evasive quality, defying simple explanation, so that the more we find out, the more there is to know . . . Daniel Levitin's book is an eloquent and poetic exploration of this paradox' Sting 'You'll never hear music in the same way again' Classic FM magazine 'Music, Levitin argues, is not a decadent modern diversion but something of fundamental importance to the history of human development' Literary Review |

56. The Way of Kings - Brandon Sanderson
|
|||
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings , Book One of the Stormlight Archive begins an incredible new saga of epic proportion. Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them. One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where ten armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable. Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings . Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity. Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan's motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war. The result of over ten years of planning, writing, and world-building, The Way of Kings is but the opening movement of the Stormlight Archive, a bold masterpiece in the making. Speak again the ancient oaths: Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before Destination. and return to men the Shards they once bore. The Knights Radiant must stand again.

Det finns ett annat uttryck för det: stor litteratur.” Jonas Eklöf, Vi Läser ”Jag kan inte minnas när jag senast läste något som grep mig så, som både är spännande som en thriller och öppnar för inre, existentiella bråddjup.” Oline Stig, Sydsvenskan Tara Selter bor i Clairon-sous-Bois i norra Frankrike med sin man Thomas. De handlar med antikvariska böcker. Den 17 november åker hon till en antikmässa, tar in på hotell, köper böcker och besöker några vänner. Där bränner hon sig på handen. Nästa morgon upptäcker hon att tidningarna i hotellmatsalen fortfarande har gårdagens datum och att samma saker händer som dagen före. Böckerna hon köpte är borta och hon går för att köpa dem igen. Sedan reser hon hem. Thomas undrar varför hon kommer redan och Tara förstår att hon är den enda som upplever den 18 november. Hela världen står still, vädret är detsamma, alla gör exakt samma sak dag efter dag. Men för Tara fortsätter tiden att gå. Såret på hennes hand läker och hennes hår växer. Varje dag förklarar hon för Thomas vad som händer och varje dag tror han henne. Till slut tröttnar hon och flyttar in i gästrummet.

Hon skriver och promenerar, hon köper en stjärnkikare och gör sig vän med himlavalvet, hon sätter ett streck i dagboken för varje dag som passerar och när 18 november närmar sig på nytt reser hon till samma mässa och tar in på samma hotell.

She infuses her English with a robust poetry’ Helen Dunmore, The Times ‘A powerful account of the Biafran War, horrific and tender in equal measure’ Sunday Telegraph 'Absolutely awesome. One of the best books I've ever read' Judy Finnigan ‘I wasted the last fifty pages, reading them far too greedily and fast, because I couldn’t bear to let go … magnificent’ Margaret Forster |

Höstregn tar vid precis där Höstsol slutade, i ett svårt sargat och desperat Sverige. Större delen av Europa är strömlöst och utan fungerande kommunikationer.

Livvakten Christian Vindelby hamnar mitt i försöken att upprätta en ny ledning av landet, Johanna är fast i en desperat stridsvagnsduell och Jonas är strandad i kaoset söder om Uppsala tillsammans med barnen, samtidigt som ett enormt ansvar läggs på hans axlar. I försvarsledningscentret i Moskva har Misjas kamp för överlevnad bara börjat och i USA arbetar dolda krafter för att eskalera situationen ytterligare. När gamla ledare faller kan man inte längre kontrollera vilka som tar deras plats. En desperat plan formas, men frågan är om alla är beredda att betala priset? Höstregn är den dramatiska och rafflande upplösningen i Lars Wilderängs bästsäljande boksvit som inleddes med romanen Höstsol. |

Aldrig tidigare har Carl Hamilton känt sig så pressad. Hämnare från den sicilianska maffian slår till mot hans närmaste anhöriga; hans gode vän och kollega Jurij Tjivartsjev hotas av dödsstraff vid en militärtribunal i Moskva, och i Sverige seriemördas invandrare med kuslig precision.

82. Spindeln - Lars Kepler
|
|||
"Kepler vet hur man skapar en bladvändare ... Historien är skickligt uppbyggd, utan minsta transportsträcka eller onödiga kurva och med smarta vändningar och stegrande spänning. Man slukar boken likt en tv-serie på Netflix" Göteborgs-Posten "en mördarjakt med stora känslor, högt tempo och mycket på spel" Norra Skåne För tre år sedan fick Saga Bauer ett vykort med en hotfull text om en pistol med nio vita kulor – varav en väntar på Joona Linna. Det stod att hon var den enda som skulle kunna rädda honom. Hon visade kortet för Joona, men tiden gick och hotet bleknade som en meningslös provokation. Fram till nu. En säck med en nästan fullständigt upplöst kropp hittas fastsurrad i ett träd i Kapellskär. På mordplatsen återfinns en mjölkvit patronhylsa. Via komplicerade gåtor börjar en bestialisk förövare ge polisen möjligheten att stoppa serien av mord. Joona Linna och Saga Bauer kämpar sida vid sida för att lägga pusslet och rädda de utsedda offren innan det är för sent. Den våldsamma jakten blir alltmer desperat. Kanske är denna seriemördare omöjlig att stoppa, kanske sitter de redan fast i spindelnätet. |

Step into a world of hot hockey players, feisty heroines and steamy scenes . . . Everyone says I'm a bad girl. They're only partly right - I don't let fear rule me, and I certainly don't care what people think. But I draw the line at sleeping with the enemy. As the daughter of Briar's head hockey coach, I'd be vilified if I hooked up with a player from a rival team. And that's who Jake Connelly is. Harvard's star forward is arrogant, annoying and too attractive for his own good. But fate is cruel - I require his help to secure a much-coveted internship, and the sexy jerk isn't making it easy for me. I need Connelly to be my fake boyfriend. For every fake date . . . he wants a real one. Which means this bad girl is in big trouble. Nothing good can come from sneaking around with Jake Connelly. My father would kill me, my friends will revolt, and my post-college career is on the line. But while it's getting harder and harder to resist Jake's oozing sex appeal and cocky grin, I refuse to fall for him. That's the one risk I'm not willing to take.

Bostadspriser som rusar mest i västvärlden. Hundratusentals svenskar som kastar sig in på börsen. En före detta socialdemokratisk statsminister som blir god för 100 miljoner kronor efter politiken. Ett tidigare kommunalråd som tjänar åtta miljarder på fem år. Över 330 nya miljardärer inom loppet av 24 månader. Sverige var länge känt som ett av världens mest jämlika länder. Men de senaste decennierna har något skett. Klyftan mellan de superförmögna och resten av befolkningen har ökat snabbt. Andelen av ekonomin som ägs av den rikaste promillen är högre än i USA, och Sverige har fler dollarmiljardärer än Japan och Brasilien. Sverige är ett land där skatten på arbete tillhör jordens högsta, men där tillgångar beskattas betydligt lägre än i många andra länder. Det är ett land där det 2021 råder bostadsfeber, börsfeber och kryptofeber. Samtidigt. Där jakten på snabba pengar blivit en ny folkrörelse. 1996 fanns det 28 miljardärer i Sverige. Idag är de 542. Tillsammans har de blivit 30 gånger rikare på 25 år. Samtidigt är andelen svenska hushåll med låg ekonomisk standard den högsta någonsin.

90. Sapiens - Yuval Noah Harari
|
|||
Sapiens är en medryckande och tankeväckande bok om mänsklighetens historia som på kort tid blivit en internationell bästsäljare. Yuval Noah Harari för med imponerande lätthet samman flera olika forskningsområden och perspektiv när han tar oss med från Homo sapiens första steg på jorden till i dag. För 100 000 år sedan fanns det åtminstone sex olika arter av människor på jorden. I dag finns bara en. Homo sapiens. Varför blev just vår art så framgångsrik? Hur kommer det sig att vi skapade städer och kungariken? Varför började vi tro på gudar, nationer och mänskliga rättigheter? Varför litar vi på pengar, böcker och lagar? Hur blev vi förslavade av byråkrati, konsumism och jakten på lycka? »Djärv, mångfacetterad och provokativ utmanar Sapiens allt vi trodde att vi visste om att vara människa: våra tankar, våra handlingar, vår styrka … och vår framtid.« the Independent »Den här fascinerande boken kan inte sammanfattas;du måste helt enkelt läsa den.« Financial Times »Sapiens tar sig an de största frågorna både i historien och i vår moderna värld.« Jared Diamond, författare till Vete, vapen och virus |
91. När börjar det riktiga livet? - Fredrik Lindström
|
|||
Moderna människor lever alltmer sina liv i ett slags förberedelse. Det är nästan alltid något som står i vägen för det fulländade livet: man behöver en bättre bostad, ett intressantare jobb, man längtar efter barn, att möta kärleken, att få lite mindre att göra på jobbet, att barnen ska flytta hemifrån, att få totalrenovera huset, få mer tid för familjen. Eller något annat. Sedan ska man börja leva det där "riktiga livet" som man väntat så mycket på. 2001 gav Fredrik Lindström ut "Vad gör alla superokända människor hela dagarna?". Boken är den mest sålda novellsamlingen i Sverige någonsin, 270.000 ex. Tio år senare kommer äntligen en uppföljare. Fjorton nya noveller med maximal träffsäkerhet och samtidskänsla. Där risken för igenkänning hela tiden är överhängande, och där avståndet mellan varm humor och ångestfyllt allvar är minimalt. Det är berättelser fyllda av människor som lika gärna kunde vara du själv. Folk som, precis som du, försöker hitta sin egen stil eller bara funderar på om man verkligen lever sitt liv med rätt partner -- om man kanske kunde fått något bättre? Människor som undrar när de ska börja använda all utrustningen de har i sina kök och om det inte kan ingå i mänskliga rättigheter att få barn, familj och bli lite lycklig?, Människor som faktiskt har lite högre anspråk och vill börja fånga dagen, men bara har lite svårt att komma igång med det. Som skulle vilja ha ut mer av alltsammans! Inte bara i kärlek och relationer, kvalitetstid och spontansex. Utan i allt! Och som är beredda på det där riktiga livet, som skulle kunna börja närsomhelst. |

|
|||
Ett magiskt äventyr i DjurriketMusse & Helium är två små möss som bor hemma hos Camilla. Hur de kom dit är det ingen som vet, men konstigt nog kan mössen prata och Camilla förstår dem. En dag hittar mössen ett hål i väggen som leder till en annan värld, Djurriket. Det visar sig att Musse och Helium är prins och prinsessa i Djurriket, men har skickats därifrån eftersom onda duvjägare vill ta dem till fånga för att på så sätt komma över rikets största skatt, Guldosten. Musses och Heliums föräldrar, kungen och drottningen, är mystiskt försvunna, men det finns andra varelser som skyddar och hjälper dem. Varulven Tata, Tant Gamelina och grislejonet Charlie är bara några av alla mössens fantastiska vänner i Djurriket. Nu måste Musse och Helium finna Guldosten innan duvjägarna fångar dem. Camilla Brinck har skapat en modern Vilse i Pannkakan. En helt unik och myllrande fantasivärld fylld av humor, spänning och färgsprakande miljöer. Musse & Helium producerades ursprungligen som en ljudsaga, där Camilla själv gör alla röster. För att transkribera sagan till tryckt text har Camilla tagit hjälp av Maria Isacsson, som skrivit om historien med perfekt tonträff. Nominerad till Årets ljudbok för barn 2017! |

But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic.

|
|||
MED FRAMTIDENS KRIGSFÖRING   När det avancerade AI-programmet Calliope hamnar på den svarta marknaden lyckas Kinas underrättelsetjänst komma över teknologin. AI:n är den mäktigaste i modern tid och liknas vid ett programmerbart rovdjur med förmågan att hacka och kontrollera all sorts elektronisk utrustning. Jack Ryan Jr och Kollegiet måste hitta Calliope innan det är för sent – i fel händer kan det kraftfulla vapnet förgöra en hel kontinent. Samtidigt står president Jack Ryan handfallen när hans barndomsvän Patrick West, tidigare CIA-agent och numera bosatt i Indonesien, anklagas för hädelse mot islam. För att lyckas rädda West innan det är för sent tvingas presidenten ta till okonventionella metoder. ANFALL SOM FÖRSVAR är den senaste boken om president Jack Ryan. Som alla Tom Clancys #1 New York Times-bästsäljare är den skrämmande realistisk och aktuell, som hämtad direkt från verklighetens löpsedlar om datasäkerhet och farorna med artificiell intelligens. TOM CLANCY skrev inte mindre än 18 New York Times-bästsäljare. Redan hans första roman, Jakten på Röd oktober , fick lysande recensioner och beskrevs som ”den perfekta historien” av USA:s dåvarande president, Ronald Reagan. Under de kommande trettio åren etablerade sig Clancy som en omisskännlig mästare på att blanda autentisk realism med intrikata konspirationer och knivskarp spänning innan han gick bort i oktober 2013. MARC CAMERON är författaren bakom den bästsäljande serien om specialagenten Jericho Quinn. Han tillbringade nästan 30 år inom brottsbekämpning och tjänstgjorde bland annat som federal utredare inom U.S. Marshals Service. 2016 blev han utvald att fortsätta Tom Clancys serie om Jack Ryan och Kollegiet. |

Dare he hope that Macro - battle-scarred and fearless - has escaped the bloodthirsty rebels? For there is only one man Cato trusts by his side as he faces the military campaign of his life.
