Seks I Kuchnia
by Patrizia Caiffa Katarzyna Urszula DługaszekTrzy opowiadania, na podstawie spektakli o tych samych tytułach, opowiadające zupełnie różne historie, trzy wydarzenia pod podwójną lupą: seksu i żołądka. Miłość do gotowania albo miłość poszukiwana przy pomocy gotowania."Welon Panny Młodej i elementarz" jest historią Marii Celeste, młodej dziewczyny pochodzącej z wiejskiej i prowincjonalnej Sycylii, dążącej do szczęśliwego małżeństwa, podobnie jak jej wielu rówieśniczek, z jednym jednak wyjątkiem: Maria Celeste marzy, aby nauczyć się czytać. Doprowadzi ją to do skomplilowanego małżeństwa, w którym będzie musiała zapłacić wysoką cenę, by móc zrealizować swoje marzenie. "Ja mogę" jest historią pary podczas jej pierwszego spotkania, gdzie gra w uwodzenie i ta w kulinarne poszukiwania w sposób nieukniony splatają się ze sobą, tworząc dziwaczne manie i wyszukane nieporozumienia. "Czerń jak ból" opowiada historię Gotfryda, adwokata na tyle mało kochającego swoją pracę, na ile wielbiciel kulinarii i prozy epickiej. Mieszając kulinarne przedsięwzięcia z tymi bohaterskimi ze swoich literackich mitów, Gotfryd opowiada w pierwszej osobie swoją miłosną historię - głęboką, bolesną i pasjonującą - wraz z nieoczekiwanym zakończeniem.
Select (The Select #1)
by Marit WeisenbergA modern-day Romeo and Juliet with a supernatural twist that will appeal to fans of Ally Condie (Matched) and Kiera Cass (The Selection). Julia Jaynes has the perfect life. The perfect family. The perfect destiny. The daughter of a billionaire investor in Austin, Texas, it looks like Julia has it all. But there's something rotten beneath the surface‒dangerous secrets her father is keeping; abilities she was never meant to have; and an elite society of highly evolved people who care nothing for the rest of humanity. So when Julia accidentally jeopardizes the delicate anonymity of her people, she's banished to the one place meant to make her feel inferior: public high school. Julia's goal is to lay low and blend in. Then she meets him‒John Ford. He’s popular, quiet, intense, and strangely compelling. Then Julia discovers she can read his mind and her world expands. Their forbidden love is powerful enough to break the conditioning that has kept Julia in the cold grip of her manipulative father. For the first time, Julia develops a sense of self and questions her restrictive upbringing and her family prejudices. She must decide how she will define herself—and whom she will betray. “. . . a mighty twist at the end to look forward to.” –Kirkus Reviews “. . . the perfect combination between sci-fi and YA literature.” – A reviewer at NetGalley “. . . unique, fast-paced, intriguing and interesting.” –A reviewer at NetGalley “I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the Twilight series and paranormal romance.” –A reviewer at NetGalley “Brilliant plot.” –A reviewer at NetGalley

Selected Historical Novels: Victoria and Albert, Anne Boleyn, and Elizabeth
by Evelyn AnthonyBritish history comes to vivid life in these three novels of royal love and intrigue by an international bestselling author. Victoria and Albert: Drawn from Queen Victoria’s diaries and correspondences, Evelyn Anthony’s novel reimagines the story of how a sheltered eighteen-year-old girl ascended to the British throne, became a major force in politics, and fell in love with her cousin, Prince Albert. Spanning the first twenty-one years of her reign, Victoria and Albert is an unforgettable love story and “a sympathetic picture of a marriage which makes its royalty human in their frailties and their strengths” (Kirkus Reviews). Anne Boleyn: Sixteenth-century history comes thrillingly alive as King Henry VIII courts Anne Boleyn, who will settle for nothing less than the crown of England—even if Henry has to break with Rome in order to marry her. Anthony’s sweeping novel features a teeming canvas of iconic real-life characters: Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, the enemy Anne vows to destroy; Henry’s first wife, the proud and pious Queen Catherine of Aragon; and Thomas Cromwell, who engineers Anne’s downfall. From the halcyon early days of courtship to her imprisonment in the palace tower for treason, this is a “solid and vigorous story” of love, ambition, and the tragic destiny of Anne of the Thousand Days (The New York Times). Elizabeth: The sickly Catholic fanatic Mary Tudor has reigned for six years when her half-sister Elizabeth ascends to the throne. After enduring years of exile following the execution of her mother, Anne Boleyn, the twenty-five-year-old Elizabeth inherits a realm divided by religious turmoil and financial collapse. Focusing on the first three decades of Elizabeth I’s reign, Anthony chronicles the monarch’s long battle with her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, for the throne, and the Virgin Queen’s relationship with the Earl of Leicester.

Selena (Las últimas hijas de Aibhill #Volumen 1)
by May VelvetheartUna herencia maldita. Una poderosa y adictiva atracción. Un extraño don que transforma el mundo real en un espejismo. «Jack es el ser menos recomendable en kilómetros a la redonda, pero esa conexión que he intentado evitar es poderosa, mucho más fuerte que mi deseo de evitar lo prohibido». Tras el divorcio de sus padres, Selena y Alice se trasladan con su madre a Oregón para comenzar una nueva vida en casa de su familia materna. Y, lo quiera o no, en cuanto Selena pone un pie en la mansión Carter, nada volverá a ser como antes, porque la herencia familiar le tiene reservado un destino del que nadie le había hablado nunca. La profunda animadversión que produce en su prima Debs a primera vista, la aparición de Jack y esos terribles sueños, unido al secreto familiar que solo ella parece desconocer, harán de su estancia en Astoria todo un desafío. Hundida por tener que abandonar su perfecta vida de adolescente, encuentra refugio al lado de Wendy y Will, los hermanos que regentan una curiosa librería de la que Selena queda prendada al instante. Su amor por los libros y la maravillosa repostería de su nueva amiga serán un consuelo más que aceptable para que los días en su nuevo hogar no se hagan eternos.

Un terrible suceso sirve de detonante para revelar un don maldito que la cambiará para siempre.

Jack se está apoderando de su mente y quizá también de su alma... Porque a veces es más fuerte ese inexplicable vínculo que parece atraerles de forma inevitable que el deseo de Selena de hacer lo correcto.
Self Belonging: Embrace the Wisdom of Soul and Science and Live Your Best Life
by Luann Robinson Hull"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you have imagined." - Henry David Thoreau “True happiness is rooted in a strong sense of personal worthiness which I call Self Belonging.” —Luann Robinson Hull Self-Belonging dives deeply into the subject of dependency in relationships—inspired by the author’s personal challenges. While devoting twenty-five years to helping others break through the barriers of mental illness and life-crisis as a Clinical Social Worker, Luann Robinson Hull found herself repeatedly falling back into destructive habits in her own relationships. A truly wounded healer, Hull was motivated to confront the “raw and rugged mess” of her own emotions. After years of research and study into neuroscience, spirituality, and positive psychology, she offers break-through, cutting edge information on how to literally dial in new pathways in the brain, using a combo-platter of science and spirituality—such as taking advantage of the brain’s ability to re-organize itself (neuroplasticity) with mental-focus practices. With sisterly advice and humor, Hull shares her own ventures into (and out of) love and consciousness, lacing her story with wit and grit as she guides readers through the trenches sharing lifelines of wisdom along the way. She guides readers through many journeys: • Self Belonging• The Human Upgrade• Raising Your Happiness Potential• How Conditioning Influences Relationships• Conscious Evolution: Becoming a Game Changer• Becoming the Master of Your Awareness• Tools for Self belonging• Sweet Freedom and more. Self-Belonging gifts the reader with an opportunity to connect with the authentic self, build joyful relationships, and merge into one’s highest destiny with confidence.
Self-Care in Space
by Eve MortonRoland Ruiz isn't very good at taking time for himself. When he loses a big intergalactic trafficking case at his legal firm, his boss tells him to take the Vacation Station travel liner and visit the vacation moons of Jupiter. What should be fun ends up feeling more like exile, especially as Roland is left unimpressed by the first moon he visits and is snubbed by the locals. Everything changes when a beautiful scientist working on Io shows him the dynamic chemicals that go into synthetic snow, which keeps the vacation ski lodge up and running in the most drastic of space climates.Martha Carpenter has been working hard her entire life and with very little credit. It's only when her ex wins a prestigious grant, however, that she begins to feel resentment creep into her daily life of making weather conditions for some of the Jupiter’s vacation moons. In an effort to stay positive, she turns to her old routine of self-care, and soon meets trans man and disgraced lawyer Roland, who could benefit from her many lessons.As Roland and Martha grow closer, she must decide if being invisible in the workplace is worth the cost to her self-esteem, while Roland must reconcile his failure with his hopeful future. Together they both realize it is far better to be recognized by one person than to be rewarded by many, and that recovery is just as thrilling as discovery.
The Self-Centered Marriage: The Revolutionary ScreamFree Approach to Rebuilding Your "We" by Reclaiming Your "I"
by Jenny Runkel Hal RunkelIn the best-selling ScreamFree Parenting, Hal Runkel showed thousands of parents how focusing on themselves, in order to keep their cool, can revolutionize their family life. In his groundbreaking new book, The Self-Centered Marriage, Runkel now shows couples how learning to focus on themselves, in order to stay calm in the face of common marital conflicts, is the key to creating a deep, lifelong connection. Every committed couple strives to hold on to the marriage they envisioned back when they first said "I do"--before kids, mortgages, and all of life's inescapable issues seemed to get in the way. But the truth is this: conflict about these issues is unavoidable. What typically results are two spouses feeling forced to compromise themselves in order to just get along and keep it together. Eventually couples start "screaming" at each other--sometimes literally yelling out loud, sometimes shutting themselves down and shutting their partners out. In The Self-Centered Marriage, therapist and bestselling author Hal Runkel introduces some radical new concepts about marriage, teaching couples how to embrace their separate selves as a profound vehicle for strengthening a marriage. Every great marriage is a self-centered marriage because it's a bond between two whole, centered people. Calmly focusing on your own behavior, choices, and moods--which you can control--rather than your spouse's--which you cannot--is the first step toward creating the relationship you really crave. Using accessible anecdotes and disarming humor, Runkel disproves prevailing marital wisdom and reveals a revolutionary path for spouses to be fully themselves, and fully married, at the same time.
