Before We Say Goodbye
The million-copy bestselling series
Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s poignant Before we say goodbye, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?
The regulars at the magical Cafe Funiculi Funicula are well acquainted with its famous legend and extraordinary, secret menu time travel offering. Many patrons have reunited with old flames, made amends with estranged family, and visited loved ones. But the journey is not without risks and there are rules to follow. Travellers must have visited the cafe previously and most importantly, must return to the present in the time it takes for their coffee to go cold.
In the tradition of Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, readers will once again be introduced to a new set of visitors:
The husband with something important left to say
The woman who couldn’t bid her dog farewell
The woman who couldn’t answer a proposal
The daughter who drove her father away . . .
In the hauntingly beautiful Before we say goodbye, Kawaguchi invites us to join his characters as they embark on a journey to revisit one crucial moment in time.
Before We Were Strangers
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist "missed connection" post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City.
To the Green-eyed Lovebird:
We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.
You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.
We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn't stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.
Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding...
I didn't see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn't know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello.
After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I've spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half?
Psycho-Pass Inspector Shinya Kogami 1
Svět budoucnosti, kde duševní stav rozhoduje o vašem životě. Pod neustálým dohledem systému Sybil má každý obyvatel svůj vlastní psycho-pass, zařízení, které na základě stresu a dalších faktorů určuje index zločinnosti. Je pak na zaměstnancích Úřadu veřejné bezpečnosti, aby vykonali rozsudek, který nad potenciálními i skutečnými zločinci systém vynese.
V tomto prequelu k úspěšnému animovanému seriálu z roku 2012 se vrací Šin’ja Kógami, inspektor na Úřadu veřejné bezpečnosti, který se svým týmem narazí na případ nelegálního obchodování s orgány. S každým dalším odhalením je však jasné, že případ je mnohem komplikovanější, než se na první pohled zdálo.
Before the Coffee Gets Cold
What would you change if you could go back in time?
In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a cafe which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time.
In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the cafe's time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early onset Alzheimer's, to see their sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know.
But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the cafe, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold . . .
Toshikazu Kawaguchi's beautiful, moving story - translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot - explores the age-old question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?
The One That Got Away - Aki elmenekült
"Hogyan fogja felismerni a lányt? A szőke hajáról. Soha nem fogja elfelejteni az arcát, de annyi arc van itt. Mi van, ha a lány elfelejti az övét?
Mindenáron ő akarja előbb észrevenni. Úgy érzi, hogy ha a lány meglepi, akkor megijed és elszalad.
Bár magas. Száznyolcvan centi. És ez neki kedvez.
Végül észrevesz egy fényes szőke fejet, amely a peronon halad felé. A szőkeség farmerdzsekit visel, alul kissé bővülő szárú farmernadrágot, és barna csizmát. Benjamin a hajához nyúl, hogy a vax jól tartja-e.
A lány felpillant, meglátja, és az arcán felragyog az a bizonyos mosoly.
Hirtelen az jut eszébe, hogy szeretné, ha ez a mosoly lenne az utolsó dolog, amit lát, mielőtt meghal, aztán eltűnődik, hogy mi a franc baj van vele."
Két együtt töltött év...
Húsz év távol egymástól...
És egyetlen nap, hogy változtassanak a történetükön.
Benjamin világa kifordul a sarkaiból, amikor találkozik Clarával. Tudja, hogy egymásnak teremtették őket, ám egy végzetes hiba az utolsó egyetemi estéjükön nagyon különböző irányba fordítja az életüket.
Húsz évvel később Clarának remek állása és jóképű férje van. Ám a látszólagos sikerei ellenére sem boldog, és tudja, hogy szíve egy darabja még mindig Benjaminé, a fiúé, akibe évekkel korábban beleszeretett. A fiúé, akinek az életét félő, hogy tönkretette.
Amikor bombamerénylet történik abban a városban, ahol először találkoztak, Clara visszakerül a helyre, amelyet igyekezett kitörölni az emlékezetéből, és az első szerelemhez, amelyet soha nem tudott elfelejteni. Benjamin után kutatva kénytelen szembenézni azokkal az eseményekkel, amelyek szétszakították őket. De vajon már túl késő helyrehozni azt, ami elromlott?
Charlotte Rixon The One That Got Away - Aki elmenekült című regénye kilométereken és évtizedeken átívelő, elsöprő erejű, megrendítő történet első szerelemről, felnőtté válásról, eltávolodásról, és a meglepő, kanyargós utakról, amelyekre az érzelmek vezethetnek minket.
They Both Die at the End
From the bestselling author of HISTORY IS ALL YOU LEFT ME comes another unforgettable story of life, loss and making each day count On September 5th, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: they're going to die today. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they're both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: there's an app for that. It's called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure - to live a lifetime in a single day. Another beautiful, heartbreaking and life-affirming book from the brilliant Adam Silvera, author of History Is All You Left Me (a Zoella Book Club 2017 novel) PRAISE FOR ADAM SILVERA: 'History Is All You Left Me overflows with tenderness and heartache. Even when its hero is screwing up royally, maybe especially then, Silvera's humanity and compassion carve out a space where it's not the falling that's important, it's how you pick yourself back up. There isn't a teenager alive who won't find their heart described perfectly on these pages.' Patrick Ness 'Adam Silvera is a master at capturing the infinite small heartbreaks of love and loss and grief. History Is All You Left Me is a beautiful meditation on what it means to survive devastating loss. This book will make you cry, think, and then cry some more.' Nicola Yoon 'Bold and haunting.' Lauren Oliver on They Both Die At The End 'A phenomenal talent.' Juno Dawson

Queen Charlotte: Before the Bridgertons came the love story that changed the ton...
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn and television pioneer Shonda Rhimes comes a powerful and romantic novel of Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte and King George III's great love story and how it sparked a societal shift, inspired by the original series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, created by Shondaland for Netflix.
In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours.
Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she needed, because George had secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.
Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court… all the while guarding her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. Above all she must learn to rule, and to understand that she has been given the power to remake society. She must fight—for herself, for her husband, and for all her new subjects who look to her for guidance and grace. For she will never be just Charlotte again. She must instead fulfill her destiny… as Queen.

The World Before Us
'The who, what, where, when and how of human evolution, from one of the world's experts on the dating of prehistoric fossils' Steve Brusatte, author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs
'Fascinating and entertaining. If you read one book on human origins, this should be it' Ian Morris, author of Why the West Rules - For Now
50,000 years ago, we were not the only species of human in the world. There were at least four others, including the Neanderthals, Homo floresiensis, Homo luzonesis and the Denisovans. At the forefront of the latter's ground-breaking discovery was Oxford Professor Tom Higham.
In The World Before Us, he explains the scientific and technological advancements - in radiocarbon dating and ancient DNA, for example - that allowed each of these discoveries to be made, enabling us to be more accurate in our predictions about not just how long ago these other humans lived, but how they lived, interacted and live on in our genes today. This is the story of us, told for the first time with its full cast of characters.
