The Librarians and the Mother Goose Chase: The Librarians And The Lost Lamp, The Librarians And The Mother Goose Chase, The Librarians And The Pot Of Gold (The Librarians #2)
by Greg CoxThe Librarians and the Mother Goose Chase, an original novel based on the hit television show, The Librarians by New York Times bestselling author, Greg Cox.For millennia, the Librarians have secretly protected the world by keeping watch over dangerous magical relics. Cataloging and safeguarding everything from Excalibur to Pandora’s Box, they stand between humanity and those who would use the relics for evil.Stories have power. In 1719, Elizabeth Goose published a collection of rhyming spells as a children's book, creating a spellbook of terrifying power. The Librarian of that age managed to dispose of all copies of the book except one, which remained in the possession of Elizabeth Goose and her family, temporarily averting any potential disaster. Now, strange things are happening around the world. A tree-trimmer in Florida is blown off his elevated perch by a freak gust of wind, a woman in rural Pennsylvania is attacked by mutant rodents without any eyes, and a college professor in England finds herself trapped inside a prize pumpkin at a local farmer’s market. Baird and her team of Librarians suspect that the magic of Mother Goose is again loose in the world, and with Flynn AWOL—again—it is up to Cassandra, Ezekiel, and Stone to track down the missing spellbook before the true power of the rhymes can be unleashed.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

La librería de los corazones solitarios
by Robert HillmanLa novela perfecta para quien haya tenido el corazón roto, para quien haya conseguido recomponerlo y para quien se lo haya dejado alguna vez en una librería. Tom Hope no piensa que se le dé especialmente bien ser granjero. Solo hace lo que puede: ordeña las vacas, recoge las manzanas, cuida de las ovejas... Tampoco se considera un buen marido porque su esposa lo abandonó y se llevó consigo al pequeño Peter. Pero cuando en su vida aparece Hannah Babel, la alegre y excéntrica mujer que quiere montar una librería en el pueblo, él se atreve a soñar que podrían ser felices juntos. Sin embargo, en 1968 solo han transcurrido veinticuatro años desde que Hannah llegara a Auschwitz con su hijo pequeño y saliera sola. Y Tom se enfrenta a una batalla contra el dolor y el recuerdo que todavía apenas puede imaginar. La crítica ha dicho...«Una novela tierna y emotiva. Contiene dolor y corazones rotos, pero van acompañados de amor y verdad y, en última instancia, esperanza. Esta historia delicada y fascinante está destinada a convertirse en una favorita de los lectores.»Books+Publishing «Una impresionante y cautivadora historia sobre cómo dos personas muy diferentes se recuperan de una tristeza desgarradora y se dan permiso para volver a amar.»Publishers Weekly «La capacidad de Hillman para evocar los ritmos y los matices de la vida rural australiana es una fuente de alegría. En esta novela nos habla de la importancia de la libertad así como de la capacidad redentora del amor, y de cómo aceptar el pasado puede ser la clave para sentirse libre y amado.»Saturday Paper «Esta novela es un canto al amor tras el dolor y en particular al amor entre padre e hijo. Muy recomendable.»New Zealand Herald «El estilo de Hillman desprende grandeza y encanto.»Age «Con una prosa conmovedora, reflexiva y emocionante, Hillman cuenta una historia de amor y sacrificio desgarradora y a la vez reconfortante.»Booklist «Este libro es una lección magistral de cómo provocar un gran impacto emocional sin artificios.»Otago Daily Times «Las vivas y poéticas imágenes de Hillman se funden con las realistas descripciones del horror de la guerra y su futilidad... A pesar de sus momentos de tristeza, fue un placer leer esta novela, con su inspiradora filosofía e irresistibles personajes.»Good Reading

by Deborah CookeTen cuidado con lo que deseas… El misterioso libro que Sylvia recibe de un extraño la sumerge en un mundo secreto, despertando su habilidad para percibir el reino paranormal. También la convierte en el objetivo de las Hadas Oscuras, que desean recuperar el libro (y que la matarán para poseerlo).

Al darse a la fuga con Sebastián, Sylvia se entera sobre el plan de Maeve, la reina de las Hadas Oscuras, para deshacerse de todas las criaturas paranormales. Poseer el libro significa que Sylvia ha quedado atrapada en medio de una guerra entre las Hadas Oscuras y los Otros (con un depredador como su único aliado). Si es capaz de descifrar el libro, ¿podrá ayudar a los Otros a pelear por su supervivencia? ¿Debería confiar en Sebastián? ¿O será que el vampiro que ignora todas las reglas tiene su propio plan secreto? Esta es una traducción al español neutral de América Latina.

El libro de Sarah
by Scot McClanahanUn héroe literario marginal, hermano de sangre de Flannery O'Connor, Charles Bukowski y Harry Crews. Esta es la historia de un naufragio, el del matrimonio del narrador con Sarah, su primera esposa y madre de sus dos hijos. También es un autorretrato demencial donde Scott McClanahan se pinta como un alcohólico notable y paranoico que emprende la ruta hacia el desastre a través de los paisajes inhumanos de Virginia Occidental. Pero este libro es también una bella canción de amor, una nota de despedida que le sirve al autor para recordar los detalles más íntimos de su enamoramiento. De esta novela, a medio camino entre la ficción y las memorias, se ha dicho que toma el lenguaje de los poetas románticos ingleses y lo pone en boca de un paleto de los Apalaches. No puede ser más cierto. La crítica ha dicho...«El libro de Sarah es la canción más triste que hayas escuchado. Es el último trago de whisky de una botella que ha dado demasiadas vueltas. Sus protagonistas son el amor verdadero, la paranoia, el demonio y Dios. Tiene lugar en aparcamientos y locales de striptease y en centros comerciales. Es a la vez ficción y autobiografía, y tampoco es nada de eso. Es una lectura brutal.»The Fader «El libro más divertido que leerás jamás sobre el divorcio. De acuerdo, también es uno de los libros más divertidos que hay sobre cualquier tema. Está escrito de una manera valiente y espontánea que mágicamente convierte la risa y la tristeza en la misma cosa.»Medium «McClanahan escribe como si fuera el hijo literario bastardo salido de una cópula accidental entre Flannery O'Connor y Harry Crews tras una larga borrachera de bourbon y de que algo hubiera ido mal en el parto.»3am Magazine «Leer a Scott McClanahan es como si te golpeara en la cabeza un luchador de MMA colocado con metanfetamina cocinada en una autocaravana sin agua corriente y aparcada en un bosque de las afueras de Kentucky.»Donald Ray Pollock «El libro de Sarah es un grito salvaje sobre el amor y las heridas y el odio y la ternura y la ira. Es una crónica de cómo se forma y se rompe una pareja. La escritura de McClanahan es tan íntima que te dan ganas de meterte en el libro y salvar a este hombre de sí mismo, pero no puedes. Esa imposibilidad es lo que hace al libro tan memorable, tan poderoso.»Roxane Gay «Una de esas raras novelas desternillantes. Es un libro divertido de verdad, de verdad de la buena, pero solo porque los humanos (y los pugs viejos y tuertos) son divertidos. También es dolorosamente triste, pero solo porque la vida es a menudo triste y dolorosa.»Playboy «El relato de cómo el autor -conductor borracho, quemador de biblias, amante de las alitas de pollo, joven habitante de Virginia Occidental y padre de dos hijos- intenta enderezar su vida es demoledor y genial. Un libro divertido y oscuro, conmovedor y verdadero. Os gustará.»Vice «El libro de Sarah es la historia de un matrimonio reventando por cada una de sus costuras: alcohol en exceso, ordenadores destruidos a martillazos y visionados compulsivos del clip de "November Rain".»Rolling Stone
