Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes
At the time of his death in 2015, award-winning and bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett was working on his finest story yet - his own.
The creator of the phenomenally bestselling Discworld series, Terry Pratchett was known and loved around the world for his hugely popular books, his smart satirical humour and the humanity of his campaign work. But that's only part of the picture.
Before his untimely death, Terry was writing a memoir: the story of a boy who aged six was told by his teacher that he would never amount to anything and spent the rest of his life proving him wrong. For Terry lived a life full of astonishing achievements: becoming one of the UK's bestselling and most beloved writers, winning the prestigious Carnegie Medal and being awarded a knighthood.
Now, the book Terry sadly couldn't finish has been written by Rob Wilkins, his former assistant, friend and now head of the Pratchett literary estate. Drawing on his own extensive memories, along with those of the author's family, friends and colleagues, Rob unveils the full picture of Terry's life - from childhood to his astonishing writing career, and how he met and coped with what he called the 'Embuggerance' of Alzheimer's disease.
A deeply moving and personal portrait of the extraordinary life of Sir Terry Pratchett, written with unparalleled insight and filled with funny anecdotes, this is the only official biography of one of our finest authors.

My Life With The Walter Boys - Életem a Walter fiúkkal
Átkozott tökéletesség!
Jackie nem szereti a meglepetéseket. A káosz maga az ellenség! A legjobb módja annak, hogy a sikeres, elfoglalt szülei felfigyeljenek rá, az, ha tökéletes lesz ő is. Tökéletes külső, tökéletes jegyek - a tökéletes gyerek. És akkor...
1. sokk: Jackie családja életét veszti egy szörnyű autóbalesetben.
2. sokk: Jackie-nek az ország másik végébe kell költöznie,
hogy a Walter családdal éljen - az új gyámjaival.
3. sokk: Walteréknek tizenkét fiuk van. (Vagyis tizenegy,
de Parker teljesen úgy viselkedik, mint egy fiú.)
Jackie-nek le kell cserélnie az A típusú személyiségét és New York-i lakását egy coloradói tanyára és a hozzá járó vad Walter fiúkra. A lányt az ellenség veszi körül - hangos, rendetlen, idegesítő fiúk, akiknek gőzük sincs a személyes tér fogalmáról. Oké, a legidősebb srácok közül néhányan kifejezetten gyönyörűek. De attól még idegesítők mind. És Jackie nem nagyképű vagy unalmas, bármit is mondanak! De ezt bebizonyítani már más kérdés. Hogyan tud majd beilleszkedni és továbblépni, miközben a szülei emlékét is életben kell tartania azzal, hogy mindenben a tökéletességre törekszik?
A Wattpad-szenzációként induló történet, melyet a kirobbanó sikere a hivatalos kiadásig röpített.
A Little Life
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance.
When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome - but that will define his life forever.
Life After Life
'This book will enlighten many and confirm what we have been taught for two thousand years - that there is life after death' Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
We cannot fully understand this life until we catch a glimpse of what lies beyond it
In this landmark bestseller, the world's leading authority on life after death, Dr Raymond Moody, reveals his ground-breaking research that established the concept of near-death experience.
Sharing compelling testimonies from those who experienced 'clinical death' and came back, Life After Life is a perspective-shifting and uplifting work that will offer vital reassurance to anyone who has wondered, 'what comes next?'

It Starts With Us - Velünk kezdődik - puha kötés (It Ends With Us 2.)
Mielőtt véget ért, Atlasszal kezdődött el.
Lily és a volt férje, Ryle éppen csak beleszokik a közös gyerekfelügyelet ritmusába, amikor Lily hirtelen újra összefut első szerelmével, Atlasszal. A csaknem két külön töltött év után Lily fellelkesül, hogy az idő most az egyszer az ő javukra játszik, és azonnal igent mond, amikor Atlas randevúra hívja.
Ám lelkesedését csírájában fojtja el a gondolat, hogy noha többé nem házasok, Ryle azért nagyon is része az életének, és gyűlölni fogja Atlas Corrigant, amiért jelen van a volt felesége és a kislánya életében.
A Velünk kezdődik ott veszi fel a fonalat, ahol a "lebilincselő, lüktető" bestseller, a Velünk véget ér elejtette azt. Egyre több részletre derül fény Atlas múltjából, és követhetjük a volt férjével hadakozó, közben pedig ismét az igaz szerelem lehetőségébe kapaszkodó Lilyt, mindezt olyan romantikával átitatva, amire csak Colleen Hoover képes.
Az év legjobban várt folytatása!
Hagyd, hogy elrabolja a szívedet!
A Life on Our Planet
With a new afterword, Why You Are Here: A speech on the opening of the COP26 climate summit
As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity.
I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet contains my witness statement, and my vision for the future - the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake, and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right.
We have the opportunity to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.
All we need is the will do so.

A Brush with Love
Anxiously awaiting news from the residency program of her dreams, dental student Harper Horowitz is laser focused. So crashing (quite literally) into Dan Craige is exactly the sort of dreamy distraction that she is trying to avoid.
First-year student Dan may not have the same passion for pulling teeth that Harper does, but he's instantly smitten. When Harper makes it clear that she's not interested in trading fillings for feelings anytime soon, they set out to be 'just friends' - a plan with the best of intentions and the poorest of follow-throughs.
Late nights in the dental lab (and the rather unsubtle match-making efforts of their friends), draw Dan and Harper closer. Still, Harper can't shake the worry that a romance with Dan might risk everything she's worked so hard to build.
Harper may have no trouble acing her studies, but falling in love is a whole new challenge.
Nine out of ten dentists agree, A Brush with Love makes your smile brighter!*
