Ardore polare
by Erika Cecchetto Simone BeaudelaireIl mutaforma Russell Tadzea, capace di trasformarsi in orso, è soddisfatto della sua vita piuttosto isolata in una piccola città dell’Alaska centrale. Ha degli amici, un lavoro e una relazione cordiale, anche se prudente, con la sua famiglia. Questo finché l’arrivo di una maestra d’asilo da fuori Alaska manda in pezzi il confortevole mondo di Russell. Un’annusata al profumo di Riley Jenkins, e Russ è spacciato. Ma come può spiegare tutto ciò che lui è a questa innocente giovane donna? E l’oscuro passato di lei potrà interferire con la possibilità di trasformare un amore predestinato in una storia a lieto fine?
Are All Guys Assholes?
by Amber MadisonWhat if everything you've been told about guys your entire life has been a lie? And what if your approach to sex, dating, and relationships is completely wrong, because it's based on false assumptions about how men think and feel? The idea that guys are "only interested in one thing," may help comedians, TV executives, and "dating gurus" make money, but it's not the truth. That's right-guys care about more than just sex, they don't have to be coaxed into relationships, and they deeply value emotional connections with women. How do we know? Because sex and dating expert Amber Madison asked them. She grilled more than a thousand guys in ten cities through interviews and surveys. She examined every stage of romantic relationships-from meeting a guy to getting serious with him-in order to find out what men really think, and why they do the things they do. Why do guys stop calling after a few dates? How can you tell if a guy actually likes you? How soon is too soon to have sex? Based on actual research, Are All Guys Assholes teaches you how to decipher and navigate any dating, hookup, or relationship situation. It explains the roots of some seemingly asshole-ish behaviors, and teaches you how to tell the good ones from the assholes once and for all. By the end, you'll never look at guys the same way again. .
Are U 4 Real?
by Sara KadeforsKyla is exactly the kind of girl Alex could never talk to in real life. She's a gorgeous, outspoken L. A. girl who parties to forget about her absent father and depressed mother. He's a shy ballet dancer from outside San Francisco who's never been kissed. Luckily, when these sixteen-year-olds meet for the first time it's not in real life-it's in a chat room, where they can share their feelings of isolation and frustration away from the conformity-obsessed high school scene. Alex and Kyla quickly forge a friendship that's far from virtual- maybe they're even falling in love. But what happens when the soul mate you've never met moves from online to in person? Sara Kadefors's wildly romantic, award-winning Swedish bestseller perfectly captures the universal angst of being a teenager, and the perhaps even more universal struggle to negotiate identity in a multi-platform world.

Are You In The Mood?
by Stephanie LehmannGive my regards to Broadway. . . please? The moment Camille Chaplin gets a rave review in The New York Times for her performance in an Off-Off Broadway show, she's certain it's her ticket to the big time. Instead the show tanks, her agent drops her, and suddenly Camille's career is about as hot as Tara Reid's. At least there's her sweet, reliable boyfriend, Daniel. All he wants is to marry her and start a family. Anyone who can pull this off deserves more than a Tony. . . Suddenly, Camille finds herself navigating a surreal, Upper East Side swirl of saccharin-sweet mommy-and-me classes, nannies with indecipherable accents, and women who can't seem to stop chirping about how fulfilled they are. Then, while apartment hunting, Camille runs into the charming, sexy Broadway director, Eric Hughes. It can't hurt to pretend to be interested in his stunning apartment. Or to be single. And childless. And available for an audition. Can it? It's not lying, it's acting. . . Now, Camille is playing the role of her life--pretending to be two vastly different women on two completely different stages, and having a ball. . . as long as she can keep up the façade. But is she willing to risk everything she has for something she wants?

Argall
by William T. VollmannIn Argall, the newest novel in his Seven Dreams series, William T. Vollmann alternates between extravagant Elizabethan language and gritty realism in an attempt to dig beneath the legend surrounding Pocahontas, John Smith, and the founding of the Jamestown colony in Virginia-as well as the betrayals, disappointments, and atrocities behind it. With the same panoramic vision, mythic sensibility, and stylistic daring that he brought to the previous novels in the Seven Dreams series-hailed upon its inception as "the most important literary project of the '90s" (The Washington Post)-Vollmann continues his hugely original fictional history of the clash of Native Americans and Europeans in the New World. In reconstructing America's past as tragedy, nightmare, and bloody spectacle, Vollmann does nothing less than reinvent the American novel.
