Don't Read This Book - Time Management for Creative People
Most of our ideas never see the light of day. Why? If you ask a creative person, the answer will always revolve around time. "Don't Read This Book "focuses on how to make choices about everything you do in your daily creative practice and life. It s not about a minimalist way to spend and organize your creative time as Hemingway with twitter, it s not even to be as synthetic as you can in your to-do lists so that procrastination is taken into consideration without provoking late afternoon regrets. It s about too many characters in this sentence as there isn t time for everything. It s actually Less = Less. To Do Lists are actually too many times a naive knowledge about yourself (birthday and new year resolutions are a painful reminder of this reality). The main message of this book is Focus. It connects the decisions you make at a personal, professional and creative level. It s a reminder of how management of time is essential to complete your project and how being dispersed around too many ideas can make you lose time. "

Gus is a serious literary type who thinks true love is a fairy-tale.

They're both broke.
They've got crippling writer's block.
And they need to write bestsellers before summer ends.
The result? A bet to swap genres and see who gets published first.
The risk? In telling each other's stories, their worlds might be changed entirely...
Set over one sizzling summer, Beach Read is a witty love story that will make you laugh a lot, cry a little and fall head over heels. For fans of The Flat Share and If I Never Met You.

This Is Hardcore

13 Things That Don't Make Sense
The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries of Our Time
Science starts to get interesting when things don't make sense. Even today there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionised our world: in the sixteenth century, a set of celestial irregularities led Copernicus to realise that the Earth goes around the sun and not the reverse. In 13 Things That Don't Make Sense Michael Brooks meets thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs. Is ninety six percent of the universe missing? If no study has ever been able to definitively show that the placebo effect works, why has it become a pillar of medical science? Was the 1977 signal from outer space a transmission from an alien civilization? Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics, Michael Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement and controversy of the scientific unknown.

You Don't Own Me - Nem vagyok a tulajdonod 1-2.
Most keményen küzdök, hogy megőrizzem az irányítást.
Zane
Minden anya azért imádkozik, hogy a lánya soha ne akadjon össze egy magamfajta férfival. Kőszívű vagyok, könyörtelen maffiafőnök és kegyetlen gyilkos. Még nem találkoztam olyan nővel, aki a kielégülésemen túl lekötötte volna a figyelmemet. Dahlia Furyig. Ő más. Úgy sétált be az életembe, ahogy egy védtelen bárány kerül a farkas útjába. Amint összepillantottunk, beindultam rá. Muszáj volt őt megszereznem. De soha nem gondoltam, hogy olyan lesz, mint valami drog. Úgy serceg közöttünk a levegő, mint amilyet én még nem tapasztaltam, és bármikor látom, minden porcikáját fel akarom falni. Én kötöttem ki a megállapodásunk feltételeit (egy hónap), de minden alkalom után, amikor magamévá teszem, mint egy átkozott függőnek, újabb adagra van szükségem... Dahlia
"Menni fog. Ez csak egy egyszerű svédmasszázs", könyörgött a barátnőm.A megérzésemre kellett volna hallgatnom. Nem lett volna szabad elmennem. De nem hallgattam, így egyedül találtam magam egy szobában a megtestesült alfahímmel, egy szexi, befolyásos maffiafőnökkel, akinek a rideg tekintetétől meghűl a vér az ereimben. A legmegdöbbentőbb módon vette irányítása alá a testemet. Elveszítettem miatta az önuralmamat.
Lélekszakadva menekültem el tőle, de sosem felejtettem el. Majd valami elképzelhetetlen történik, és csak a jégszívű ragadozó tud segíteni. Belemegy, de... semmi sincs ingyen. Most a londoni villájában élek arra várva, hogy magához rendeljen, megérintsen, felizgasson és kielégítsen.
Úgy, ahogy csak az én orosz fenevadam tud...
Éld át az átélhetetlent! (És tanuld meg távol tartani az életedtől!)
18 éves kortól ajánljuk!

Nora is a cut-throat literary agent at the top of her game. Her whole life is books.
Charlie is an editor with a gift for creating bestsellers. And he's Nora's work nemesis.
Nora has been through enough break-ups to know she's the woman men date before they find their happy-ever-after. That's why Nora's sister has persuaded her to swap her desk in the city for a month's holiday in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina.

How to be Well Read
Ranging all the way from Aaron's Rod to Zuleika Dobson, via The Devil Rides Out and Middlemarch, literary connoisseur and sleuth John Sutherland offers his very personal guide to the most rewarding, most remarkable and, on occasion, most shamelessly enjoyable works of fiction ever written.
He brilliantly captures the flavour of each work and assesses its relative merits and demerits. He shows how it fits into a broader context and he offers endless snippets of intriguing information: did you know, for example, that the Nazis banned Bambi or that William Faulkner wrote As I Lay Dying on an upturned wheelbarrow; that Voltaire completed Candide in three days, or that Anna Sewell was paid GBP20 for Black Beauty? It is also effectively a history of the novel in 500 or so wittily informative, bite-sized pieces.
Encyclopaedic and entertaining by turns, this is a wonderful dip-in book, whose opinions will inform and on occasion, no doubt, infuriate.
