"A day to remember . . .
The Wedding Planner is a sparkling story about the winding road to happily ever after, from billion-copy bestseller Danielle Steel.
Faith Ferguson is one of New York’s most sought after wedding planners. Realizing dreams and making magic happen are part of why Faith loves her job. But weddings aren't always champagne and roses, and this particular year brings challenges both professionally and personally.
On an estate in the Hamptons, the Alberts' event – with orchid swans, a firework extravaganza and added family strife – does not come without its problems. Morgan and Alex’s tasteful celebration in a handsome New York townhouse runs like clockwork, until a last minute addition to the guest list threatens to derail it. And a stiff, formal reception at a city club with a groom who cares more for his colleagues than his bride-to-be sends warning signals to Faith.
Faith has come close to marriage twice – with disastrous consequences. She loves making magic happen for others, yet believes it isn't meant for her. But maybe the saying ‘never say never’ is true . . . "
Celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lucinda Riley’s iconic bestselling series, with this dazzling paperback edition of The Seven Sisters – with a new foreword from Lucinda's son, Harry Whittaker, and additional reading group material.
The Seven Sisters is the story that began it all. An epic tale of love and loss, it tells the stories of the D’Aplièse sisters, all adopted as babies by the enigmatic billionaire they affectionately call Pa Salt.
This is Maia’s story. When Pa Salt dies suddenly, the bereaved sisters gather together at their childhood home, a spectacular secluded castle on the shores of Lake Geneva.

'I can't remember the last time I had so much fun reading a book' — Stephanie Garber, bestselling author of A Curse for True Love
The Blonde Identity is a hilarious, action-packed, road-trip rom-com with witty banter, sexy operatives, and the ultimate high-stakes from New York Times bestselling author, Ally Carter.
It’s the middle of the night in the middle of Paris and a woman just woke up with no memory.
She only knows three things for certain:
1. She has a splitting headache.
2. The hottest guy she has (probably) ever seen is standing over her, telling her to run.
And, oh yeah . . .
3. People keep trying to kill her.
She doesn’t know who. Or why. But when she sees footage of herself fighting off a dozen men there’s only one explanation: obviously . . . she’s a spy! Except, according to Mr. Hot Guy, she’s not. She’s a spy’s identical twin sister.
Too bad the only person who knows she’s not the woman they’re looking for is this very grouchy, very sexy, very secret agent who (reluctantly) agrees to help her disappear. Which is easier said than done when a criminal organization wants you dead and every intelligence service in the world wants you caught.
Luckily, no one is looking for a pair of lovesick newlyweds on their honeymoon. And soon they’re lying their way across Europe – dodging bullets and faking kisses as they race to unravel a deadly conspiracy and clear her sister’s name.
But with every secret they uncover, the truth shifts, until she no longer knows who to trust: the twin she can’t remember or the mysterious man she can’t let herself forget . . .
The Blonde Identity is the hotly anticipated adult debut from New York Times bestselling YA author, Ally Carter.

"First published in 1907 and in print ever since, Hilaire Belloc’s Cautionary Tales for Children is a deliciously witty parody of the terribly serious moral tales for children, which were popular in Victorian times.
Terrifying and funny at the same time, and with a true sense of the absurd, Belloc brings us the renowned 'Jim, Who ran away from his nurse, and was eaten by a Lion' and unfortunate 'Rebecca, who slammed Doors for Fun and Perished Miserably'.
As well as these stories and many more, this edition includes a selection of mischievous poems from The Bad Child’s Book of Beasts and More Beasts for Worse Children. This volume includes the original illustrations by Basil Temple Blackwood, known as B.T.B."

"From the internationally bestselling author of The Atlas Six, Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a glimpse into the nature of love, what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken.
Chicago, sometime. Two people meet in the armory of the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. After their meeting, those things do not change.
Everything else, however, is slightly different.
Both obsessive, eccentric personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan struggle to be without each other from the moment they meet. The truth - that he is a clinically depressed, anti-social theoretician and she is a manipulative liar with a history of self-sabotage - means the deeper they fall in love, the more troubling their reliance on each other becomes.
Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a literary, intimate study of time, space - and a love story like no other.
Praise for Olivie Blake:
'Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent' – Chloe Gong
'This is a book to savor' - Publishers Weekly

THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR NEW NETFLIX SERIES, HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND'It's a trip - engrossing, eye-opening, mind altering' New Statesman 'Fascinating. Pollan is the perfect guide ... curious, careful, open minded' The Guardian Of all the many things humans rely on plants for, surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate, calm, or completely alter the qualities of our mental experience.
In This Is Your Mind On Plants, Michael Pollan explores three very different drugs - opium, caffeine and mescaline - and throws the fundamental strangeness of our thinking about them into sharp relief. Exploring and participating in the cultures that have grown up around these drugs, while consuming (or in the case of caffeine, trying not to consume) them, Pollan reckons with the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants, and the equally powerful taboos. In a unique blend of history, science, memoir and reportage, Pollan shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too often treated reductively.
In doing so, he proves that there is much more to say about these plants than simply debating their regulation, for when we take them into our bodies and let them change our minds, we are engaging with nature in one of the most profound ways we can. This ground-breaking and singular book holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and aspirations, the operations of our minds and our entanglement with the natural world.
Czy w życiu można pogubić się tak bardzo, że odnalezienie drogi do szczęścia okazuje się niemożliwe w pojedynkę? Oczywiście, że tak.
Bart nie ma łatwego startu w życiu, jego własne wybory również nie kierują go na dobrą ścieżkę. W dzieciństwie traci rodziców, a jako nastolatek z tęsknoty doprowadza do sytuacji, w której on i jego siostra muszą wyjechać do USA.
Amerykański sen okazuje się dla młodego mężczyzny jedynie mrzonką. Skrzywdzony i niezrozumiany nie odnajduje się w nowym świecie, więc ucieka od rzeczywistości. Sięga po narkotyki, które krok po kroku niszczą mu życie.
Wielokrotne interwencje ze strony siostry nie przynoszą rezultatu, nie na długo. W wieku 21 lat Bart trafia pod przymusem na odwyk. Walka o własne zdrowie kosztuje go wiele wysiłku, ale mimo to podejmuje tę próbę.
W ośrodku poznaje swoją nową heroinę – kobietę o imieniu Susana. Choć związki nie są tam dozwolone, to sama jej obecność napawa go nadzieją na lepsze jutro.
Czy miłość okaże się wystarczająco silna, aby chłopak wyszedł cało z opresji?
„(Nie)poskromiony. Bart” to spin-off serii „Nieposkromiona”. Wkroczcie do świata Victorii z perspektywy jej młodszego brata. Trzecia część cyklu to opowieść o walce, miłości i pokonywaniu przeciwności. Można ją przeczytać bez znajomości poprzednich tomów.
„Wszystko przepadło, odleciało jak puch kielichowy dmuchawca porwany przez podmuch. Byliśmy tymi nasionami. Trzymaliśmy się razem. Walczyliśmy o siebie, chroniąc się wzajemnie przed wiatrem. Kiedy jedno z nas uległo, wiedzieliśmy, że reszta podąży za nim w objęcia śmierci. Nie było odwrotu ani nadziei. Nadzieja umarła, a ja wraz z nią”.
Lao She, syn ubogiej rodziny mandżurskiej i ofiara rewolucji kulturalnej, jest powszechnie uznawany za jednego z najwybitniejszych pisarzy chińskich, którego utwory należą do kanonu literatury XX wieku. Jedenaście opowiadań składających się na ten tom - powstałych w latach 30., a teraz po raz pierwszy dostępnych w polskim tłumaczeniu - to przykład kunsztu, który po latach lśni jeszcze jaśniejszym blaskiem. Pełne nieokiełznanego humoru teksty potrafią bawić do łez, ale też - w znakomicie oddanych portretach ludzi zepchniętych na margines - zawierają przejmujący smutkiem obraz starań o przetrwanie i zachowanie człowieczeństwa. Lao She traktuje swoich bohaterów z tym większą czułością, im bardziej odrzuca ich świat, zachowuje jednak ostrze ironii dla tych, którzy pozostają ślepi na swoje wady. W małych formach, eksplodujących bogactwem języka, wielki pisarz podarowuje nam salwy śmiechu, ale i zwierciadło odbijające ludzką naturę.
