ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Someone you love has stopped loving you?

Do you feel as if that pain inside your chest will never subside?

Are you wondering how to leave your partner when there is still love in the relationship?

Do you believe that you will never be the same person after experiencing an unrequited love? How can you walk away from that person's life without harming them?

In Mónica Salmón's latest novel, Ofelia experiences the challenge of heartbreak, facing that which many people fear: saying goodbye when you no longer have a place in the life of the person you love. The author shows us the last thread left before breaking the bond with the other person, or the hope of rekindling it. Through a series of emails, Ofelia expresses her grief and frustration over losing her love. She begins exploring her inner self, facing her fears and insecurities. She reaches a turning point.

In I Will Forget Your Name, we witness Ofelia's inner struggle and her quest for answers. We relate to her pain and frustration, but we also find inspiration in her courage and determination to move on. Thus, lovelessness becomes a trigger for change and personal growth. We are invited to embrace uncertainty and trust the process of those loves that end.

In this novel, Mónica Salmón, celebrated author of Safe Me from You, brings a necessary and encouraging insight into disaffection. She reminds us that this process can be an opportunity to grow as people and find a more authentic, deeper love.

Cómo transformar el autosabotaje en automaestría

«Tu montaña es el obstáculo entre tú y la vida que
quieres vivir. Enfrentarlo también es el único camino hacia tu libertad y conversión [...] Tal vez sabes qué es tu montaña. Quizás es la adicción, el peso, las relaciones, los trabajos, la motivación o el dinero. Quizá no lo sabes. A lo mejor es una vaga sensación de ansiedad, baja autoestima, miedo o un descontento general que parece impregnar todo lo demás».
Brianna Wiest

Las montañas simbolizan los grandes desafíos que enfrentamos, en especial aquellos que parecen imposibles de superar. Para conquistar la cumbre es necesario aprender a identificar y cambiar las conductas que nos llevan al autosabotaje.

Por medio del conocimiento y la aceptación de nuestros hábitos más dañinos, el desarrollo de inteligencia emocional, la liberación de experiencias pasadas a nivel celular y el aprendizaje de actuar como nuestro yo del futuro podemos abrir nuestro propio camino hacia cualquier cima. Al final, la montaña no se moverá, seremos nosotros quienes lograremos conquistarla.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This is a book 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.
 

Mo Gawdat, autor bestseller y exdirector ejecutivo de Google, denuncia en La inteligencia que asusta los peligros de la evolución descontrolada de la inteligencia artificial y propone un modelo para protegernos a nosotros mismos, a quienes amamos y al planeta.

«La tecnología está llevando a la humanidad a una situación de riesgo sin precedentes. Este libro no es para los ingenieros que escriben el código ni para los políticos que prometen regularla. Este libro es para ti: lo creas o no, eres el único que puede solucionar esta situación.» --Mo Gawdat

La inteligencia artificial tiene ventaja sobre los humanos: puede procesar información a la velocidad de la luz y llevar a cabo tareas específicas sin distraerse, además de predecir resultados futuros o de ver ángulos que se nos escapan. Entonces, ¿cómo es que tiene tantos fallos o responde de formas tan peligrosas?

La respuesta somos nosotros: los usuarios diseñamos los algoritmos que definen cómo funciona el sistema, y la información que la IA procesa imita nuestros comportamientos. La inteligencia que asusta descubriremos cómo corregir la trayectoria a la que nos encaminamos para poder asegurar que la IA del futuro trabaje a nuestro favor.

Gawdat se basa en su amplia experiencia para enseñarnos --y enseñar a las máquinas-- cómo podemos vivir mejor y mostrarnos qué podemos hacer para protegernos a nosotros mismos, a nuestros seres queridos y al propio planeta. Porque el futuro está en nuestras manos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Mo Gawdat, bestselling author and former CEO of Google, denounces in The Intelligence That Scares the dangers of the uncontrolled evolution of artificial intelligence and proposes a model to protect ourselves, those we love and the planet.

"Technology is leading humanity to a situation of unprecedented risk. This book is not for the engineers who write the code or for the politicians who promise to regulate it. This book is for you: believe it or not, you are the only one who can solve this situation." --Mo Gawdat

Artificial intelligence has an advantage over humans: it can process information at the speed of light and carry out specific tasks without being distracted, as well as predict future outcomes or see angles that escape us. So how is it that it has so many flaws or responds in such dangerous ways?

The answer is us: users design the algorithms that define how the system works, and the information that AI processes mimics our behaviors. The intelligence that scares us will discover how to correct the trajectory we are heading towards in order to ensure that the AI of the future works in our favor.

Gawdat draws on his extensive experience to teach us--and machines--how we can live better and show us what we can do to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and the planet itself. Because the future is in our hands.

Una nueva romcom de la autora de Las reglas del juego, el fenómeno que conquistó TikTok y las librerías. Los opuestos se atraen en esta novela en la que una cantante y el repostero de un pueblo pequeño se encuentran.

Amelia Rose, más conocida como Rae Rose por sus fans, está cansada de ser la princesa del pop. Así que, inspirada por su peli favorita de Audrey Hepburn, Vacaciones en Roma, conduce durante horas para llegar a Roma... En Kentucky.

Cuando Noah Walker se encuentra a la cantante frente a su casa con el coche averiado, le deja claro que no puede ayudarla, porque bastante tiene con su pastelería. Pero permite que Rae Rose se quede en la habitación de invitados hasta que pueda largarse.

Sin embargo, poco a poco Noah descubre que detrás de Rae Rose está Amelia, una mujer irresistible y auténtica.

Amelia no tarda en dejarse seducir por el encanto de Roma y por su huraño anfitrión... Pero incluso Audrey tuvo que volver a casa al final de la película, ¿no?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Opposites certainly attract for the stranded pop star and small-town baker in this charming slice of romance from the author of TikTok sensation's The Cheat Sheet.

"This modern take on the Hepburn classic Roman Holiday is a quick, fun, slow-burn rom-com."--Abby Jimenez, bestselling author of The Friend Zone

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR

Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her adoring fans, is burned-out from years of maintaining her "princess of pop" image. Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is. 

When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn't have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He's too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room--but only until her car is fixed--then she's on her own. 

Then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose--she's Amelia: kindhearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. He can't help but get close to her. Soon she'll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she's been missing, and she'll help him open his heart to more. 

Amelia can't resist falling for the cozy town and her grumpy tour guide, but even Audrey has to leave Rome eventually.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Discover the latest scientific evidence for the potent and revitalizing value of fun and how to make having fun a habitual and authentic part of your daily life with "this well-researched and impressive guide" (BookPage).

Doesn't it seem that the more we seek happiness, the more elusive it becomes?

There is an easy fix: fun is an action you can take here and now, practically anywhere, anytime. Through research and science, we know fun is enormously beneficial to our physical and psychological well-being, yet fun's absence from our modern lives is striking. Whether you're a frustrated high-achiever trying to find a better work-life balance or someone who is seeking relief from life's overwhelming challenges, it is time you gain access to the best medicine available.

"A masterful distillation of science and personal experience" (Nir Eyal, author of Hooked), The Fun Habit explains how you can build having fun into an actionable and effortless habit and why doing so will help you become a healthier, more joyful, more productive person. In the vein of Year of Yes, 10% Happier, and Atomic Habits, The Fun Habit features "practical tips, tools, and tactics for bringing fun into our lives starting now" (Dr. Olav Sorenson, UCLA professor of sociology).

Después de ayudar a sus amigos a lograr sus sueños, Bethany finalmente tiene tiempo para concentrarse en ella misma: remodelar una casa, desde la estructura hasta los muebles, ella sola. Excepto que su hermano mayor dirige la empresa y se niega a tomarla en serio. Cuando un productor de televisión se entera de la rivalidad entre los hermanos Castle, lo invitan a Flip Off, una competencia para ver quién puede hacer la mejor renovación. Bethany quiere presumir, pero necesita una tripulación y el único miembro del equipo de construcción de su hermano dispuesto a abandonar el barco es Wes Daniels, el chico nuevo de la ciudad. Su acento texano y su hermoso rostro se metieron bajo la piel de Bethany desde el primer día, pero lo último que necesita es un joven vaquero engreído en su camino. A medida que la carrera por renovar se intensifica, Wes y Bethany se ven obligados a vivir de cerca, intercambiando púas y bromas mientras remodelan la casa más fea de la cuadra. Es un trabajo de amor, odio y todo lo demás, y pronto saltan chispas.

Una historia de placer y euforia, amor y adicciones, locura y creatividad a través del prisma de la molécula que domina el mundo.

¿Por qué nos obsesionamos con las cosas que queremos y nos aburrimos cuando las conseguimos? ¿Por qué la adicción no es una cuestión moral? ¿Por qué el amor pasional se convierte tan rápidamente en desinterés? ¿Por qué casi todas las dietas fracasan? ¿Por qué vivimos pegados a las redes sociales? ¿Por qué algunas personas son liberales acérrimos y otras, conservadores extremos? ¿Cómo logramos mantener la esperanza, incluso en los tiempos más oscuros? La respuesta reside en una simple sustancia química de nuestro cerebro: la dopamina.

La dopamina es la sustancia que permitió que nuestros ancestros pervivieran. Hoy en cambio, es la responsable de nuestro comportamiento, adicciones y del progreso humano. Es la molécula del deseo, la que controla nuestros impulsos y la que nos incita a buscar siempre nuevos estímulos. La dopamina es la causante de que un trabajador ambicioso lo sacrifique todo en pos del éxito, o que pongamos en riesgo nuestra relación más preciada por una noche de sexo con un desconocido. Por un lado nos sirve de motivación para superarnos a nosotros mismos. Por el otro, nos lleva a arriesgarlo todo y fracasar en el intento.

Para la dopamina lo importante es conseguir algo, cualquier cosa, con tal de que sea nueva. Una vez tenemos claro el papel que juega en nuestra vida, podremos entender de una manera revolucionaria por qué nos comportamos como lo hacemos en el amor, los negocios, la política o la religión. Entender la dopamina nos ayudará a predecir nuestro comportamiento. Pero también el de los demás.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A story of pleasure and euphoria, love and addictions, madness and creativity through the prism of the molecule that dominates the world.

Why do we obsess over the things we want and get bored when we get them? Why is addiction not a moral issue? Why does passionate love so quickly turn into selflessness? Why do almost all diets fail? Why do we live glued to social networks? Why are some people staunch liberals and others extreme conservatives? How do we manage to maintain hope, even in the darkest of times? The answer lies in a simple chemical in our brain: dopamine.

Dopamine is the substance that allowed our ancestors to survive. Today, on the other hand, it is responsible for our behavior, addictions and human progress. It is the molecule of desire, the one that controls our impulses and the one that incites us to always seek new stimuli. Dopamine is the cause of an ambitious worker sacrificing everything in pursuit of success, or that we put our most precious relationship at risk for a night of sex with a stranger. On the one hand, it serves as motivation to improve ourselves. On the other, it leads us to risk everything and fail in the attempt.

For dopamine, the important thing is to get something, anything, as long as it's new. Once we are clear about the role it plays in our lives, we will be able to understand in a revolutionary way why we behave as we do in love, business, politics or religion. Understanding dopamine will help us predict our behavior. But also that of others.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

There are those who go around watching the days go by through a blurry filter that makes everything look gray. Life can be much more than that.

Perhaps you, same as me, grew up with a bunch of ideas about what you should become to achieve happiness or adjust better in this world. Truth is several of those ideas are nothing more than other people's expectations, what they project on us, and usually, while trying to fulfill them, we end up extremely frustrated because they do not align with who we really are. But you can rest assured, the choices you have made so far are not definitive. This is the right time to ask yourself how you are living your life and choose that which resonates with you--it is the only way to find your own light.

This book will help you:

 

• Take a moment to question how you live and how you would like your life to be.
• Identify which beliefs and habits keep you from getting what you want.
• Redefine your points of view and your path.
• Acknowledge yourself as an individual with something important to contribute to the world.
• Be in tune with your essence and your energy.
• Receive each day with lightness and steer it to fulfill your life's mission.

LIVE IN WONDER, TRUST THE POWER OF YOUR CHOICE.

His cello made him famous. His father made him a target.

“In this perfectly crafted thriller, Slocumb acts as the master conductor, bringing together a twisty plot and gorgeously wrought characters.” —The Boston Globe

Curtis Wilson is a cello prodigy, growing up in the Southeast D.C. projects with a drug dealer for a father. But through determination and talent, and the loving support of his father’s girlfriend, Larissa, Curtis claws his way out of his challenging circumstances and rises to unimagined heights in the classical music world—even soloing with the New York Philharmonic.

And then, suddenly, his life disintegrates. His father, Zippy, turns state’s evidence, implicating his old bosses. Now the family—Curtis included—must enter the witness protection program if they want to survive. This means Curtis must give up the very thing he loves the most: sharing his extraordinary music with the world. When Zippy’s bosses prove too elusive for law enforcement, Curtis, Zippy, and Larissa realize that their only chance of survival is to take on the criminals themselves. They must create new identities and draw on their unique talents, including Curtis’s musical ability, to go after the people who want them dead. But will it be enough to save Curtis and his family?

A propulsive and moving story about sacrifice, loyalty, and the indomitable human spirit, The Dark Maestro is Brendan Slocumb at the height of his powers.

Gilmore Girls meets Jenny Han in this “delightfully autumnal small-town romance” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) about a city girl stuck in a quaint small town who must confront her future and her old flame while the town prepares for an annual fall festival.

Ellis has a plan: spend her senior fall prepping her application for Columbia, get into their journalism program, and set the foundation for a respectable career. So when her parents announce that not only are they separating, but Ellis has to move with her mom from New York City to Bramble Falls, Connecticut, to live with her aunt and cousin, it couldn’t come at a worse time.

From past summers spent in Connecticut, Ellis knows Bramble Falls is idyllic and charming. But it also seems to be full of distractions. There’s local barista Cooper Barnett, Ellis’s one-time best friend and first kiss who now wants nothing to do with Ellis. And then there’s the Falling Leaves Festival, a local autumnal celebration run by Ellis’s aunt where people from all over come to see Bramble Falls’s beautiful foliage. The house is stuffed with decorations, and every conversation seems to center around the festival.

Dragged to every oh-so-charming event from apple picking to pumpkin carving, Ellis can’t stop bumping into Cooper…or falling for the quaint town and its quirky residents. As her return to Manhattan gets repeatedly delayed, Ellis finds herself caught between two very different places—and the futures they represent.

In her spellbinding debut, Ruby Martinez weaves a wildly romantic, heart-pounding mystery set against the backdrop of Mexican and German lore.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places comes “a standout dark academia thriller” (e. lockhart, author of We Were Liars) about the monsters who walk among us—even in the glittering upper echelons of society.

Multiple starred reviews! "Certain to leave readers breathlessly enthralled." (Kirkus starred review)

At Wilberton Academy, few students are more revered than the members of the elite Wilberton Theatrical Society--a.k.a. the WTS--and no one represents that exclusive club better than Elizabeth Woodward.

Breathtakingly beautiful, beloved by all, and a talented thespian, it's no surprise she's starring as Juliet in the WTS's performance of Shakespeare's classic tragedy. But when she's found dead the morning after opening night, the whole school is thrown into chaos.

Transfer student Abby Kita was one of the last people to see Elizabeth alive, and when local authorities deem the it-girl's death a suicide, Abby's not convinced. She's sure there's more to Wilburton and the WTS than meets the eye. As she gets tangled in prep school intrigues, Abby quickly realizes that Elizabeth was keeping secrets. Was one of those secrets worth killing for?

“The twists and surprises just keep on coming. My kind of book!"—R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps and Fear Street

Surviving on the streets of World War II London alone certainly hasn’t been easy, but Nimble Nottingham has perfected the art of going it alone—and that’s just how he likes it. The only friend he needs is his beloved dog, Winnie. To pass the time between rolling blackouts and bombs falling through the air, Nim spends his days fence-climbing, roof-jumping, and gargoyle-perching…that is when he’s not scrounging for food to stave off the ever-present hunger the war has brought to London.

So when opportunity strikes in the form of a bomb falling onto the notoriously creepy Gravenhurst Manor, Nim knows he has to get inside and find whatever spoils he can get his hands on to sell for food.

Inside, Mouse and Nim encounter far more than just crumbling walls and shattered windows. Beneath Gravenhurst Manor lies a secret room and inside that room is a locked safe. Nim, inspired by the Hardy Boys adventures he used to read at Waifs and Strays orphanage, knows that something this protected has to be valuable, and so he cracks the safe and unknowingly unleashes a monster.

A shadow creature is now loose on the streets of London, and it’s up to Nim, Mouse, and a band of unattended children to end its reign of terror.

A vibrant graphic memoir of a woman—an immigrant, a survivor, a writer, a foodie, and, ultimately, an optimist—who rebuilds her life in New York City while recovering from the trauma of an abusive relationship.

“An intimate portrait of the city not only as a place of dreams, but as a vital source for healing and self-discovery.”—Nick Sousanis, Eisner Award–winning author of Unflattening

On her first night in New York City, Kay Sohini sits on the tarmac of JFK Airport making an inventory of everything she’s left behind in India: her family, friends, home, and gaslighting ex-boyfriend. In the wake of that untethering she realizes two things: she’s finally made it to the city of her literary heroes—Kerouac, Plath, Bechdel—and the trauma she’s endured has created gaping holes in her memory.
 
As Kay begins the work of piecing herself back together she discovers the deep sense of belonging that can only be found on the streets of New York City. In the process she falls beautifully, ridiculously in love with the bustling landscape, and realizes that the places we love do not always love us back but can still somehow save us in weird, unexpected ways.

At once heartbreaking and uplifting, This Beautiful, Ridiculous City explores the relationship between trauma and truth, displacement and belonging, and what it means to forge a life of one’s own.

A pulse-pounding new Southern thriller from the author of the runaway bestseller A Flicker in the Dark.

Twenty-two years ago, Claire Campbell’s older sister, Natalie, disappeared shortly after her eighteenth birthday. Days later, her blood was found in a car, a man was arrested, and the case was swiftly closed. In the decades since, Claire has attempted to forget her traumatic past by moving to the city and climbing the ranks as an investigative journalist... until an unexpected call from her father forces her to come back home and face it all anew.

With the entire summer now looming ahead—a summer spent with nothing to do in her childhood home, with her estranged mother—Claire decides on a whim to accept a seasonal job at Galloway Farm, a muscadine vineyard in coastal South Carolina less than an hour away from where she grew up. At first glance, Galloway is an idyllic escape for Claire. A scenic retreat full of slow-paced nostalgia, as well as a place where her sister seemed truly happy in that last summer before she vanished, it feels like the perfect plan to pass the time. However, as soon as Claire starts to settle in, she stumbles across an old diary written by one of the vineyard's owners, and what at first seems like a story of young rebellion and love turns into something much more sinister as it begins to describe details of various unsolved crimes. As the days stretch on, Claire finds herself becoming more and more secluded as she starts to obsess over the diary's contents... as well as the lingering feeling that her own sister's disappearance may be somehow tied to it all.

Galloway was supposed to be a place to help her move forward, but instead, Claire quickly finds herself immersed in her own dark and dangerous past.

For Officer Emmy Clifton, it's personal. She turned away when her best friend's daughter needed help--and now she must bring her home.

Every teenage girl has secrets. But who would kill for them? And what else is the town hiding?

Dante's Inferno meets Susanna Clarke's Piranesi in this all-new dark academia fantasy from R. F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface, in which two graduate students must put aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor's soul--perhaps at the cost of their own.

Katabasis, noun, Ancient Greek:

The story of a hero's descent to the underworld

Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world.

That is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault.

Grimes is now in Hell, and she's going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams....

Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the very same conclusion.

With nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante to guide them, enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells, and the burning desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything, they set off across Hell to save a man they don't even like.

But Hell is not like the storybooks say, Magick isn't always the answer, and there's something in Alice and Peter's past that could forge them into the perfect allies...or lead to their doom.

"Funny, surprising, smart and weird . . . fully lives up to the high bar you’d expect from a great like Sachar."—Associated Press

"After decades of children's stories with adult intelligence, Sachar has given us an adult novel with a child's heart"—Alix E. Harrow

The beloved author of Holes presents his first adult novel, a modern fantasy classic of forbidden love, a crumbling kingdom, and the unexpected magic all around us.

Long ago and far away (and somewhere south of France) lies the kingdom of Esquaveta. There, Princess Tullia is in nearly as much peril as her struggling kingdom. Esquaveta desperately needs to forge an alliance, and to that end, Tullia's father has arranged a marriage between her and an odious prince. However, one month before the "wedding of the century," Tullia falls in love with a lowly apprentice scribe.

The king turns to Anatole, his much-maligned magician. Seventeen years earlier, when Anatole first came to the castle, he was regarded as something of a prodigy. But after a long series of failures—the latest being an attempt to transform sand into gold—he has become the object of contempt and ridicule. The only one who still believes in him is the princess.

When the king orders Anatole to brew a potion that will ensure Tullia agrees to the wedding, Anatole is faced with an impossible choice. With one chance to save the marriage, the kingdom, and, of most importance to him, his reputation, will he betray the princess—or risk ruin?

Georgia is locked in a psychiatric institution where the most violent offenders are held while she awaits trial. The only words she whispers when her estranged twin sister Amanda visits are, “I didn’t do it. You’ve got to get me out of here.”

Amanda doesn't trust Georgia, but she can't abandon her in a place so eerie and menacing that it seems to exist in another dimension. Is Georgia the victim of a powerful family that's so depraved murder is the least of their crimes? Or is Amanda being led down a path of madness into the web of a master manipulator?

In this sensational thriller from the number-one internationally bestselling author, two sisters discover that the secrets they keep from each other prove to be deadly.

It was supposed to be you . . .

Every family has secrets. Some more deadly than others.

“Incendiary...this one hits hard.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) • “Intense, visceral, and not to be missed.” —Booklist (starred review) • “A tour de force.” —Capes and Tights

A haunting coming-of-age tale following the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, Ronny Nguyen, as she grapples with the weight of generational trauma while navigating the violent power of teenage girlhood, for fans of Jennifer’s Body and Little Fires Everywhere. 

It's the summer before high school, and Ronny Nguyen finds herself too young for work, too old for cartoons. Her days are spent in a small backyard, dozing off to trashy magazines on a plastic lawn chair. In stark contrast stands her brother Tommy, the pride and joy of their immigrant parents: a popular honor student destined to be the first in the family to attend college. The thought of Tommy leaving for college fills Ronny with dread, as she contemplates the quiet house she will be left alone in with her parents, Me and Ba.

Their parents rarely speak of their past in Vietnam, except through the lens of food. The family's meals are a tapestry of cultural memory: thick spring rolls with slim and salty nem chua, and steaming bowls of pho tái with thin, delicate slices of blood-red beef. In the aftermath of the war, Me and Ba taught Ronny and Tommy that meat was a dangerous luxury, a symbol of survival that should never be taken for granted.

But when tragedy strikes, Ronny's world is upended. Her sense of self and her understanding of her family are shattered. A few nights later, at her first high school party, a boy crosses the line, and Ronny is overtaken by a force larger than herself. This newfound power comes with an insatiable hunger for raw meat, a craving that is both a saving grace and a potential destroyer.

What Hunger is a visceral, emotional journey through the bursts and pitfalls of female rage. Ronny's Vietnamese lineage and her mother's emotional memory play a crucial role in this tender ode to generational trauma and mother-daughter bonding.

An action-packed, second-chance rom-com about two rival spies who must join forces in order to stay alive, from New York Times bestselling author Ally Carter.

Ten years ago, they joined the CIA.

Six years ago, he left the game.

Five years ago, they fell in love.

One year ago, she ran out into the cold with absolutely no intention of ever coming back.

And two minutes ago, they woke up, bloody and bruised and handcuffed together in the dark.

They don't know where they are. They don't know how they got there. And they have absolutely no idea who is after them or what this nameless, faceless villain wants.

The only thing that's clear is that, after ten years of covers and chemistry, secrets and lies, these two rival spies have been sucked into their greatest mission yet, and now they're going to have to team up to stay alive. (If they don't kill each other first.)

A charming literary-themed novel about a young woman determined to save her great-aunt's beloved bookshop from extinction by the shiny new competition--which also happens to be run by the handsome son of her family's rivals.

The cute, seaside town of Portneath has been the home of Capelthorne's Books for nearly a hundred years...

The shop, in the heart of a high street that stretches crookedly down the hill from the castle to the sea, may be a tad run-down these days, but to Jules Capelthorne, the wonky, dusty world of literary treasures is full of precious childhood memories. When her great-aunt Florence gets too frail to run it alone, Jules ditches her junior publishing job in London and comes home to make the bookshop's hundredth birthday a celebration to remember.

Jules quickly discovers things are worse than she ever imagined: The bookshop is close to bankruptcy, unlikely to make it to its own centenary celebration, and the lease on the building is up for renewal. With a six-figure sum needed, the future looks bleak.

To make matters worse, the owner of the property is the insufferable Roman Montbeau, from the posh, local family who owns half of Portneath. The Montbeaus and Capelthornes have feuded for years, and Roman has clearly not improved since he tormented Jules as a child. Fresh from a high-flying career in New York, he is on a mission to shake things up, and--unforgivably--proves his point about Capelthorne's being a relic of the past by opening a new bookshop directly opposite--a shiny, plate-glass-windowed emporium of books.

Jules may not be able to splash the cash on promotions and marketing like the Montbeaus, but she's got some ideas of her own, plus she has a tenacity that may just win the hardest of hearts and the most hopeless of conflicts.

Let the battle of the bookshops commence...

In a tenderly told story, the creator of Thank You and The Boy with Flowers in His Hair explores small moments that were once shared by a child and grandad on a pebble beach.

Grandad always knows the best way to go to Pebble Beach. As they climb the dunes, he and his grandchild can smell the sea before they see it. There they meet a seal and find old pirate wood. They have melty ice cream. And every time, before saying goodbye to the beach, they each pick a pebble. “Do you know this pebble is older than me?” Grandad says with a twinkle in his eye. In a wistful musing on memory, loss, and love, Jarvis offers a medley of moments—Grandad’s silly dance with the wiggly knees; the two of them smushing together and painting their day the best they could. With lyrical prose and gentle, sun-kissed illustrations, he shows us such memories are always there for the taking, as lasting as pebbles on the beach.

Two starred reviews!

Ninth House meets Legendborn in this “bold and bloody” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) first book in a dark academia fantasy series about a teen who’s willing to do anything to find her brother—even infiltrate a secret society full of monsters.

When August’s brother disappears before his sophomore semester, everyone thinks the stress of college got to him. But August knows her brother would never have left her voluntarily, especially not after their mother so recently went missing.

The only clue he left behind was a note telling her to stay safe and protect their remaining family. And after August is attacked by a ten-foot-tall creature with fur and claws, she realizes that her brother might be in more danger than she could have imagined.

Unfortunately for her, the only person with a connection to the mysterious creature is the bookish Virgil Hawthorne…and he knows about them because he is one. If he doesn’t find a partner to help control his true nature, he’ll lose his humanity and become a mindless beast—exactly what the secret society he’s grown up in would love to put down.

Virgil makes a proposition: August will join his society and partner with him, and in return, he’ll help her find her brother. And so August is plunged into a deadly competition to win one of the few coveted candidate spots, all while trying to accept a frightening reality: that monsters are real, and she has to learn to master them if she’s to have any hope of saving her brother.
