Iron Flame
Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College, Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.
Now the real training begins, and Violet's already wondering how she'll get through. It's not just that it's grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it's designed to stretch the riders' capacity for pain beyond endurance. It's the new vice commandant, who's made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is - unless she betrays the man she loves.
Although Violet's body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else's, she still has her wits, and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.
But a determination to survive won't be enough this year.
Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College - and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.

Lina is on a mission. As soon as she gets what she's after, she has no intention of sticking around. The town of Knockemout has other ideas. Soon she finds herself sucked into small-town life. Dog-sitting. Saying yes to a bridesmaid's dress. Listening to the sexy chief of police in the shower.
But when Nash discovers Lina's secret these friends become furious enemies - though the sparks flying between them don't know the difference between love and hate.

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.

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.
