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?
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.
If We Were Villains
Oliver Marks has just served ten years for the murder of one of his closest friends - a murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he's released, he's greeted by the detective who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened ten years ago.As a young actor studying Shakespeare at an elite arts conservatory, Oliver noticed that his talented classmates seem to play the same roles onstage and off - villain, hero, tyrant, temptress - though Oliver felt doomed to always be a secondary character in someone else's story. But when the teachers change up the casting, a good-natured rivalry turns ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into life.When tragedy strikes, one of the seven friends is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.
If We Were Perfect
A steamy second chance/roommate romance from Ana Huang, the New York Times bestselling author of the Kings of Sin and Twisted series
Two exes, one house. What could go wrong?
Olivia had a plan: MBA, Wall Street VP by thirty-two, marriage and two children (preferably twins because #efficiency).
Not in her plan? Losing half her belongings in an apartment flood and being forced to turn to her ex for help.
Definitely not in her plan? Moving into said ex's house and watching him walk around shirtless, bake her cupcakes, and look at her with those smouldering-
Wait, what was she talking about again?
***
Between his bakery and meddling family, Sammy had enough on his plate without bringing the ex he'd never been able to forget into the mix.
But when Olivia asks for his help, he couldn't say no. He could, however, make her regret breaking his heart - as long as he doesn't do anything foolish, like sneak into her room and kiss her senseless...
As passion slowly replaces their dislike for each other, Sammy and Olivia discover their past isn't what it seems and their future is anything but certain. Can they overcome their pride and give love a second chance, or is history doomed to repeat itself?
This is book four of the If Love series but can be read as a complete standalone.
Recommended for 18+ due to explicit content and adult language.

Byli jsme při tom We were there
Dějiny nejsou příběhem, ale skládají se z příběhů. Každý je vidí jinak, každý je jinak prožívá. Tato kniha nabízí možnost podívat se na tehdejší dynamickou dobu deseti páry očí, které měly lepší schopnost vidět ten správný okamžik tehdejšího času.
Kniha je osobní, zejména fotografickou reflexí událostí roku 1989 očima tehdejších studentů žurnalistiky a dalších škol či fotografů a kameramanů, kteří většinou stáli teprve na počátku své profesní dráhy. Dokumentovali první demonstrace začátkem roku 1989 a zejména dramatické listopadové události. Zachytili i momenty symbolizující konec totalitního režimu, ať již v podobě odstraňování ostnatého drátu a volného průchodu přes hranice či první prezidentské inaugurace Václava Havla nebo prvních svobodných voleb po sametové revoluci. Reportážní fotografie nepořizovali v rámci školního či pracovního zadání, nýbrž z vlastní iniciativy, v euforii z převratných událostí té doby a s motivací zachytit alespoň určité momenty zásadní společenské změny. Přes sto sedmdesát fotografií tak zároveň vydává autentické svědectví o autorech samých, o jejich entuziasmu a zápalu pro věc. Fotografická kniha deseti kameramanů Zpravodajství ČT proto ani nemůže být uvedena jinak než předmluvou jednoho z jejich kolegů - studenta fakulty žurnalistiky patřícího mezi hlavní organizátory studentské "revoluční novinařiny", stávajícího ředitele zpravodajství a sportu České televize Zdeňka Šámala. Publikace je vybavena stručným historickým exkurzem a kalendáriem sametové revoluce v Československé televizi.

Talking to Strangers
The routine traffic stop that ends in tragedy. The spy who spends years undetected at the highest levels of the Pentagon. The false conviction of Amanda Knox.
Why do we so often get other people wrong? Why is it so hard to detect a lie, read a face or judge a stranger's motives?
Through a series of encounters and misunderstandings - from history, psychology and infamous legal cases - Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual adventure into the darker side of human nature, where strangers are never simple and misreading them can have disastrous consequences.
No one challenges our shared assumptions like Malcolm Gladwell. Here he uses stories of deceit and fatal errors to cast doubt on our strategies for dealing with the unknown, inviting us to rethink our thinking in these troubled times.
Depeche Mode - Before We Drown/People Are Good LP Maxi single
Depeche Mode je hudobná skupina, ktorá bola v roku 1980 založená v Basildone v Anglicku. Skupinu dnes tvorí: Dave Gahan (spev a spolautorstvo skladieb)a Martin Gore (klávesy, gitara, spev a hlavný autor skladieb). Ich hudobný štýl by sa dal najlepšie charakterizovať ako synth rock, alebo taktiež synthpop (používanie umelých zvukov, vytváraných syntetizátormi a samplermi). Stali sa jednou z najvytrvalejších a najúspešnejších hudobných skupín, ktoré sa objavili počas New Wave a New Romantic éry. Vďaka svojej inovatívnej tvorbe, nahrávacím technikám a popularizácii vzorkovania (angl. sampling), ovplyvnili mnoho súčasných hudobníkov. Ich album Violator z roku 1990 je považovaný za klenot elektronickej hudby. Hoci sú významní pre modernú techno scénu, zostávajú naďalej pri alternatívnej hudbe. Až 54 skladieb skupiny Depeche Mode sa dostalo do rebríčka UK Singles Chart a 17 ich albumov bolo britských rebríčkoch umiestnených do Top 10. Skupina Depeche Mode má na celom svete predaných viac než sto miliónov hudobných nosičov.Časopis Q zaradili Depeche Mode do svojho zoznamu „50 kapiel, ktoré zmenili svet!“Televízia VH1 ich dala na 98. miesto svojho zoznamu „Stovky najväčších umelcov všetkých čias“. V decembri 2016 dal magazín Billboard skupinu Depeche Mode na desiate miesto zoznamu najlepších umelcov klubovej tanečnej hudobnej scény.Skupina Depeche Mode bola nominovaná do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame v rokoch 2017 a 2018 a uvedená do nej bola v roku 2020.
Po celosvetovom úspechu posledného albumu Memento Mori predstavujú Depeche Mode remixy skladieb „Before We Drown“ a „People Are Good".

Kult WE
Nahliadnite do zákulisia firmy WeWork v podaní novinárov, ktorí odhalili škandalózne praktiky jeho bezškrupulózneho zakladateľa trpiaceho grandióznym sebaklamom.
Adam Neumann sa do New Yorku presťahoval v roku 2001 potom, ako odslúžil päť zo siedmich rokov povinnej vojenskej služby v izraelskom námorníctve. O pätnásť rokov neskôr sa ocitol v pozícii sympatického riaditeľa spoločnosti s hodnotou 47 miliárd dolárov. Takmer dvojmetrový mladík s dlhými vlasmi a ústami plnými rečí, že život má byť prechádzka ružovou záhradou, bol zosobnením predstáv o podnikateľovi zo Silicon Valley. Ponúkal takmer hypnotizujúcu víziu: radikálnu zmenu pracovného prostredia šitú na mieru generácii mileniálov. Nazval ju WeWork.
Neumannove ambície podporované miliardami dolárov od investorov rástli do neba. WeWork už nemal byť len poskytovateľom kancelárskych priestorov, mal stavať školy, budovať mestá či kolonizovať Mars. Spoločnosť v honbe za víziou svojho zakladateľa míňala peniaze rýchlejšie, než ich dokázala nadobudnúť. Šéf firmy brázdil celú zemeguľu na súkromnom lietadle v marihuanovom opare a snažil sa získavať ďalší kapitál, no koncom roka 2019, bezprostredne pred vstupom na burzu, sa mu všetko rozpadlo pod rukami. Neumanna vyhnali z vlastnej firmy, no jeho status miliardára tým nijako neutrpel.
Nevšedný rast firmy WeWork prilákal najrôznejšie postavy finančného systému, ochotné ignorovať zjavné riziká. Jej náhly prepad však začal nadobúdať podobné kontúry ako v prípade neslávne známej firmy Theranos. Ako je možné, že sa niektoré z najväčších bánk a množstvo renomovaných investorov dokázalo nadchnúť pre takýto zjavný podfuk? A čo to znamená pre budúcnosť startupov v Silicon Valley? Odpoveď na tieto a ďalšie otázky o vzostupe a páde firmy WeWork hľadajú reportéri denníka Wall Street Journal Eliot Brown a jeho kolegyňa Maureen Farrell.

Wish You Were Here
Diana O'Toole's life is going perfectly to plan. At twenty-nine, she's up for promotion to her dream job as an art specialist at Sotheby's and she's about to fly to the Galapagos where she's convinced her surgeon boyfriend, Finn, is going to propose.
But then the virus hits New York City and Finn breaks the news: the hospital needs him, he has to stay. But you should still go, he insists. And reluctantly, she agrees. Once she's in the Galapagos, the world shuts down around her, leaving Diana stranded - albeit in paradise. Completely isolated, with only intermittent news from the outside world, Diana finds herself examining everything that has brought her to this point and wondering if there's a better way to live.
But not everything is as it seems . . .
Things We Left Behind
THE ALL NEW NOVEL FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FOLLOW-UP TO TIKTOK SENSATION THINGS WE NEVER GOT OVER AND 2023'S THINGS WE HIDE FROM THE LIGHT.
There was only one woman who could set me free. But I would rather set myself on fire than ask Sloane Walton for anything. Lucian Rollins is a lean, mean vengeance-seeking mogul.
On a quest to erase his father's mark on the family name, he spends every waking minute pulling strings and building an indestructible empire. The more money and power he amasses, the safer he is from threats. Except when it comes to the feisty small-town librarian that keeps him up at night .
. . Sloane Walton is a spitfire determined to carry on her father's quest for justice.
She'll do that just as soon as she figures out exactly what the man she hates did to - or for - her family. Bonded by an old, dark secret from the past and the dislike they now share for each other, Sloane trusts Lucian about as far as she can throw his designer-suited body. When bickering accidentally turns to foreplay, these two find themselves not quite regretting their steamy one-night stand.
Once those flames are fanned, it seems impossible to put them out again. But with Sloane ready to start a family and Lucian refusing to even consider the idea of marriage and kids, these enemies-to-lovers are stuck at an impasse. Broken men break women.
It's what Lucian believes, what he's witnessed, and he's not going to take that chance with Sloane. He'd rather live a life of solitude than put her in danger. But he learns the hard way that leaving her means leaving her unprotected from other threats.
It's the second time he's ruthlessly cut her out of his life. There's no way she's going to give him a third chance. He's just going to have to make one for himself.

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?
