A magical new world and a whole host of stunning characters to take to your hearts in this brand new, un-putdownable novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Laini Taylor.

An irresistible story from Kasie West that explores the timeless question: What do you do when you fall for the person you least expect? When Autumn Collins finds herself accidentally locked in the library for an entire weekend, she doesn’t think things could get any worse. But that’s before she realizes that Dax Miller is locked in with her. Autumn doesn’t know much about Dax except that he’s trouble. Between the rumors about the fight he was in (and that brief stint in juvie that followed it) and his reputation as a loner, he’s not exactly the ideal person to be stuck with. Still, she just keeps reminding herself that it is only a matter of time before Jeff, her almost-boyfriend, realizes he left her in the library and comes to rescue her. Only he doesn’t come. No one does. Instead it becomes clear that Autumn is going to have to spend the next couple of days living off vending-machine food and making conversation with a boy who clearly wants nothing to do with her. Except there is more to Dax than meets the eye. As he and Autumn at first grudgingly, and then not so grudgingly, open up to each other, Autumn is struck by their surprising connection. But can their feelings for each other survive once the weekend is over and Autumn’s old life, and old love interest, threaten to pull her from Dax’s side?

Robert Bly, americký básník, esejista a autor „Železného Jana“ v této útlé knížce shromáždil svá čtení z let 1971 a 1983 věnovaná jungovskému konceptu stínu, která doplňuje rozhovor s Boothem a esej o poezii Wallace Stevense. Společným motivem všech pěti kapitol je právě stín, o němž Bly mluví jako o „dlouhém pytli, který vlečeme za sebou“. Nezkoumá ho jazykem analytické psychologie, nýbrž jazykem básnickým, a pomocí barvitých obrazů a příběhů ukazuje, co dělat, abychom získali zpátky energii, kterou jsme do tohoto pytle odložili a zabránili tak i jejímu zneužívání. „To, co básnická čtení Roberta Blye ve skutečnosti říkají, je: ‚Musíte změnit svůj život.‘ Slyšet tak závažné básně a odolat veškeré změně je horší věc než ztráta času; je to nebezpečné.“ Takto Knížku o lidském stínu uvádí její editor William Booth.

She's a tomboy. He's the boy next door. With three older brothers, Charlotte Reynolds, aka Charlie, has always been more comfortable calling the shots on a basketball court than flirting with the opposite sex. So when her police officer dad demands she get a summer job to pay for the latest in a long line of speeding tickets, she's more than a little surprised to find herself working at a chichi boutique and going out with a boy who has never seen her tear it up in a pickup game. Charlie seeks late-night refuge in her backyard, talking out her problems with her neighbor and honorary fourth brother, Braden, sitting back-to-back against the fence that separates them. Braden may know her better than anyone. But there's a secret Charlie's keeping that even he hasn't figured out—she's fallen for him. Hard. She knows what it means to go for the win, but if spilling her secret means losing him for good, the stakes just got too high. On the Fence is a sweet and satisfying read about finding yourself and finding love where you least expect it.

In un mondo dove una ragazza può essere solo brava, obbediente e soprattutto bella, non c'è posto per giochi di guerra e corse a cavallo: ovvero per tutte le cose che Isabelle ama. Quando, costretta da Maman, si mozza le dita dei piedi per farle entrare nella scarpetta e aggiudicarsi il matrimonio con il principe, Isabelle viene scoperta. E al suo posto viene scelta Ella, la sorellastra buona, la perfetta Cenerentola delle fiabe. A Isabelle resta solo la vergogna più nera e l'ostilità di tutta Saint-Michel. Ma è proprio vero che il destino di una sorellastra "cattiva" è vivere ai margini e che l'unica strada possibile è quella dell'infelicità? Il marchese de la Chance non la pensa così e forse l'unica cosa che può salvare Isabelle è capire che per tutte c'è una possibilità, e che la vera bellezza è scegliere la propria strada e percorrerla senza voltarsi indietro. Questa è una fiaba oscura. E una fiaba crudele. E una fiaba da un altro tempo, un tempo in cui i lupi restavano ad aspettare le bambine nella foresta. Quel tempo è ormai passato. Ma i lupi sono ancora qui e sono due volte più scaltri. Le bestie rimangono. E la morte ancora si nasconde in una spolverata di bianco. E crudele per qualunque ragazza che smarrisca il sentiero. Più crudele ancora per una ragazza che smarrisca se stessa. Sappi che è pericoloso allontanarsi dal sentiero. E tuttavia è molto più pericoloso non farlo. Età di lettura: da 13 anni.
