Kingdom of the Cursed
One sister. Two sinful princes. Infinite deception with a side of revenge . . . Welcome to Hell.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco comes the sizzling and sweepingly romantic sequel to Kingdom of the Wicked.
With the enigmatic Prince of Wrath at her side, Emilia sold her soul to become Queen of the Wicked and travelled to the Seven Circles to fulfil her vow of avenging her beloved sister.
But the first rule in the court of the Wicked? Trust no one. And it quickly becomes clear that nothing in Hell is what it seems. Even Wrath, her onetime ally, may be keeping secrets about his true nature. But that suits Emilia just fine - she's got secrets of her own.
Faced with backstabbing courtiers, princes who delight in fear, luxurious palaces, dazzling galas, and conflicting clues about what truly happened to her sister, Emilia finds herself on a mission to unlock the mysteries of her own past and uncover the answers she craves.
As long as her sins don't catch up to her first . . .
Cursed Crowns
Bestselling authors and real-life sisters-in-law Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber join forces on a compelling YA fantasy bursting with high-stakes adventure, romance and humour. Two queens, one throne. What can possibly go wrong...?
Twin queens Wren and Rose have claimed their crowns... but not everyone is happy about witches sitting on Eana’s throne.
Cool-headed Rose sets off on a Royal Tour to win over the doubters, but soon finds herself drawn to the Sunkissed Kingdom. Here secrets are revealed about those closest to her, and Rose finds her loyalties divided.
Meanwhile rebellious Wren steals away to the icy north to rescue their beloved grandmother, Banba. But when she accepts King Alarik’s deadly magical bargain in exchange for Banba’s freedom, the spell has unexpected – and far-reaching – consequences...
As an ancient curse begins to arise from the darkness, the sisters must come together and unite the crown. Their lives – and the future of Eana – depend on it.
Break the ice to free the curse,
Kill one twin to save another...
What is huncút?
Slovenskí emigranti, ktorí sa postarali o najdlhší súdny proces štátu New York od roku 1683. Policajný riaditeľ Matovič z Humenného, ktorý bojoval s talianskou mafiou spolu s dolapiteľom Al Caponeho. Slovenskí farmári z Arkansasu, ktorých dávali v kongrese za vzor pri potláčaní segregácie na juhu. Ale aj Novozámčanka, ktorá bola očitou svedkyňou najslávnejšej prestrelky divokého západu.
Všetky tieto príbehy autor objavil pri mapovaní stôp po slovenských mestečkách v Spojených štátoch amerických. V jeho reportážach sa prenesiete na malebné floridské predmestie Slavia, k družnej arkansaskej farmárskej komunite Slovak, do moderného developerského mesta na pobreží astronautov, k megalomanskému projektu na newyorskom Long Islande, ale aj k osudu jedného z prvých slovenských Amerikánov, ktorý sníval o vlastnej osade v Iowe.
Na začiatku 20. storočia žil v USA približne každý štvrtý Slovák, väčšina v priemyselných oblastiach severovýchodu, no časť sa rozhodla usadiť vo vlastných „kolóniách“. Kniha What is huncút? cez historické reportáže mapuje príbehy týchto pozoruhodných osád, zároveň odkrýva pozadie najväčšej prisťahovaleckej vlny z dnešného územia Slovenska do USA.
Kniha chce byť aj inšpiráciou pre všetkých, ktorí so svojimi rodinami v Amerike dávno stratili kontakt, aby sa o túto fascinujúcu históriu začali opäť zaujímať. Preto popri príbehoch slovenských kolónií tiež chronologicky mapuje najväčšiu prisťahovaleckú vlnu Slovákov do USA od jej počiatkov na divokom západe cez najsilnejšie roky v nebezpečných baniach a oceliarňach až po rozpad slovenských komunít, a tiež vzťahov s príbuznými v starom kraji po druhej svetovej vojne.
Lacná kniha Cursed Britain: A History of Witchcraft and Black Magic in Modern Times (-70%)
The definitive history of how witchcraft and black magic have survived, through the modern era and into the present day
Cursed Britain unveils the enduring power of witchcraft, curses and black magic in modern times. Few topics are so secretive or controversial. Yet, whether in the 1800s or the early 2000s, when disasters struck or personal misfortunes mounted, many Britons found themselves believing in things they had previously dismissed - dark supernatural forces.
Historian Thomas Waters here explores the lives of cursed or bewitched people, along with the witches and witch-busters who helped and harmed them. Waters takes us on a fascinating journey from Scottish islands to the folklore-rich West Country, from the immense territories of the British Empire to metropolitan London. We learn why magic caters to deep-seated human needs but see how it can also be abused, and discover how witchcraft survives by evolving and changing. Along the way, we examine an array of remarkable beliefs and rituals, from traditional folk magic to diverse spiritualities originating in Africa and Asia.
This is a tale of cynical quacks and sincere magical healers, depressed people and furious vigilantes, innocent victims and rogues who claimed to possess evil abilities. Their spellbinding stories raise important questions about the state's role in regulating radical spiritualities, the fragility of secularism and the true nature of magic.

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 . . .

The Wish
If you had one wish...
Maggie hasn't told this story in years. More than two decades ago, she fell in love. She was sixteen and far from home, waiting to give her baby up for adoption. Bryce showed Maggie how to take photographs and he didn't judge her for the way her belly swelled under her jumper. They had the perfect first kiss. Theirs was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love.
Now, as Maggie sits by the Christmas tree in her gallery telling her story, surrounded by the photographs that made her famous - the photographs Bryce never saw - her new gallery assistant asks her a question. If she had one wish, what would she wish for this Christmas?
Maggie always thought she knew the answer to that question. But before she can say 'I'd go back to that winter with Bryce', she stops herself. It is all she has ever wanted but suddenly here, on this dark night under the twinkling stars, there is something else she wants. She wants to find her baby.
... what would you wish for?
A heart-wrenching story about discovery and loss, The Wish is a reminder that time with those precious to us is the greatest gift of all.

Soundtrack (Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper) - A Star Is Born CD
A Star Is Born je americké romantické drama kombinované s muzikálem. V hlavní roli se objevuje držitel nominace na Oscara Bradley Cooper, pro kterého je film rovněž režijním debutem, a Stefani Germanotta, která je známější pod pseudonymem Lady Gaga. Jedná se již o třetí remake stejnojmenného filmu z roku 1937.
Cooper ve filmu hraje hvězdu country Jacksona Mainea, který objeví neznámou talentovanou zpěvačku Ally (Lady Gaga). Když se oba vrhnou do vášnivého milostného vztahu, Jack přiměje Ally k vystupování v záři reflektorů a katapultuje ji tak ke slávě. Když však Allyin raketový start zastíní jeho kariéru, Jack stále obtížněji nese svůj ústup z velkých pódií, a o to více se potýká se svými vnitřními démony.

Mindentudók kézikönyve - Így lehetsz te is géniusz
Egy új technológiai forradalom küszöbén, az éghajlatváltozás súlyos következményei és a népesség elöregedése mellett semmi jelentősége annak, hogy valaki meg tudja-e nevezni Honduras fontos iparágait. Ne versenyezzünk a Google keresőmotorjával, koncentráljunk inkább azokra a dolgokra, amelyek igazán számítanak!
A Mindentudók kézikönyve a jelen és a jövő legizgalmasabb trendjeit és legégetőbb kihívásait mutatja be. Bárkinek elmagyarázható még a kvantummechanika, a GDP, a relativitáselmélet, az agy vagy a számítógépek működése és a végtelen is - feltéve, hogy rendelkezik a könyv szerzője, Ódor Lajos egykori miniszterelnök és közgazdász műveltségével, tapasztalatával, éleslátásával és humorával.
A könyv 42 fejezete kilenc egységre tagolódik: A világ megatrendjei, A világegyetem működése, A biológiai világ, Értelem és érzelem, Ember és társadalom, A technológiai forradalom, Számok és formák, A tudatos állampolgár és Elégedett élet. Számos illusztráció és ábra segít az olyan összetettebb témák megértésében is, mint a fraktálok vagy az időtágulás.
Ha érdekel, mi történik és mi fog történni a világban, szeretnéd megérteni a mélyben húzódó okokat, és fontosnak tartod a kritikus gondolkodást, ez a könyv neked szól.
Akkor is szeretnél?
Kismackót nyugtalanítja valami. Vajon mennyire szereti őt az édesanyja? Akkor is szereti, ha Kismackó rosszalkodik? Akkor is, ha valami nagy baj lesz? Igen. Az anyai szeretet mindennél erősebb, és Kismackó megtanulja, hogy ez nem fog megváltozni soha. Megható történet az anyai szeretetről és a gyermeki kíváncsiságról Szabó T. Anna és Dragomán Pali anya és fia közös fordításában.
