In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn't much a girl wouldn't do for a glass of water.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember.

But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently re-opens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares... but it turns out they're real, and Saeris has landed herself in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.

The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist's magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him . . . or her.

Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he's the only way Saeris is going to make it home.]]> 624 Callie Hart 1538774194 Darkeyy 0 currently-reading 4.30 2024

Еванджелин обаче няма представа каква ужасна цена е платила за тази приказка. Тя не знае какво е загубила и съпругът ѝ е твърдо решен никога да не ѝ позволява да научи... но първо трябва да убие Джакс, Принца на сърцата.

Еванджелин Фокс и Принцът на сърцата се впускат в ново пътешествие,
изтъкано от магия, тайни и разбити сърца...

След предателството на Джакс, Принца на сърцата, Еванджелин Фокс се заклева, че никога повече няма да му се довери. Тя вече е открила собствената си магия и вярва, че с нейна помощ може да си върне шанса за щастлив завършек, откраднат от Джакс.

Ала ново ужасяващо проклятие я принуждава пак да влезе в крехко партньорство с Принца на сърцата. Само че този път правилата са променени. Джакс не е единствената сила, от която Еванджелин трябва да се пази. Всъщност като че ли само на него може да се довери, въпреки желанието си да го презира.

Вместо любовно заклинание, всяващо хаос в живота ѝ, проклятието цели убийство. И за да го премахнат, Еванджелин и Джакс ще трябва да се изправят срещу стари приятели, нови врагове и магия, която си играе с ума и сърцата. Еванджелин винаги се е доверявала на сърцето си, но този път не е сигурна, че може да си го позволи...]]> 320 Stephanie Garber 6190302661 Darkeyy 5 4.73 2022

„Имал�� някога едно разбито сърце�� е завладяващо фентъзи, великолепно начало на едноименната поредица. Ако сте харесали „Каравал��, ще се влюбите и в тази нова книга.

Откакто се помни, Еванджелин Фокс вярва в истинската любов и щастливия край... до момента, в който разбира, че мъжът на сърцето ѝ ще се жени за друга.

В отчаян опит да спре сватбата и да излекува нараненото си сърце, Еванджелин сключва сделка с харизматичния, но пагубен Принц на сърцата. Той се съгласява да помогне в замяна на три целувки �� тя ще трябва да целуне трима души, когато и където той прецени.

Ала още след първата Еванджелин осъзнава, че сделките с безсмъртен са опасна игра �� и че Принцът на сърцата иска много повече от нея, отколкото е обещала. Той има планове за Еванджелин, планове, които или ще завършат с най-голямото възможно щастие, или с най-невероятната трагедия.

Във всяка книга на Стефани Гарбър попадаме в плен на разказваческото ѝ майсторство и впечатляващия начин, по който кара пулса ни да подскача. Една наивна героиня с разбито сърце си играе с въплъщението на съдбата �� лошото момче Джакс �� в обърнатия наопаки, замечтан като в съновидение свят на Великолепния север. „Имал�� някога едно разбито сърце�� ви впримчва в заклинание, от което няма да искате да избягате. �� Стейси Ли]]> 320 Stephanie Garber 6190302424 Darkeyy 4 4.23 2021

It’s been two months since the Fates were freed from a deck of cards, two months since Legend claimed the throne for his own, and two months since Tella discovered the boy she fell in love with doesn’t really exist.

With lives, empires, and hearts hanging in the balance, Tella must decide if she’s going to trust Legend or a former enemy. After uncovering a secret that upends her life, Scarlett will need to do the impossible. And Legend has a choice to make that will forever change and define him.

Caraval is over, but perhaps the greatest game of all has begun. There are no spectators this time—only those who will win, and those who will lose everything.

]]> 90202302 “The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.�� —Xaden Riorson

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.]]> 623 Rebecca Yarros 1649374178 Darkeyy 0 to-read 4.33 2023

]]> 61431922 Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders...

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile�� humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die]]> 665 Rebecca Yarros 1649374046 Darkeyy 0 to-read 4.56 2023

After being swept up in the magical world of Caraval, Donatella Dragna has finally escaped her father and saved her sister, Scarlett, from a disastrous arranged marriage. The girls should be celebrating, but Tella isn’t yet free. She made a desperate bargain with a mysterious criminal, and what Tella owes him no one has ever been able to deliver: Caraval Master Legend’s true name.

The only chance of uncovering Legend’s identity is to win Caraval, so Tella throws herself into the legendary competition once more—and into the path of the murderous heir to the throne, a doomed love story, and a web of secrets…including her sister's. Caraval has always demanded bravery, cunning, and sacrifice, but now the game is asking for more. If Tella can’t fulfill her bargain and deliver Legend’s name, she’ll lose everything she cares about—maybe even her life. But if she wins, Legend and Caraval will be destroyed forever...

Каравалът е магия. Мистерия. Приключение.

Когато дълго чаканите покани най-после пристигат, изглежда, че мечтите на двете сестри най- сетне са се сбъднали. Ала едва стъпили на брега на вълшебния остров, Тела изчезва, отвлечена от Легендата, мистериозния собственик на Каравала.

Скарлет е чувала, че всичко, което се случва на Каравала, е постановка, ала въпреки това бързо попада в опасните мрежи на любов, магия и разочарования.

Така или иначе, трябва непременно да открие сестра си, преди играта да стигне до своя край и Тела да изчезне завинаги...

Каквото и да сте чували за Каравала, действителността надхвърля чутото. Каравалът е повече от игра или представление. Ако на света съществува магия, най-вероятно е да я намерите именно там.]]> 336 Stephanie Garber Darkeyy 5 4.25 2016

Bound in an unwanted marriage, Freya spends her days gutting fish, but dreams of becoming a warrior. And of putting an axe in her boorish husband’s back.

Freya’s dreams abruptly become reality when her husband betrays her to the region’s jarl, landing her in a fight to the death against his son, Bjorn. To survive, Freya is forced to reveal her deepest secret: She possesses a drop of a goddess’s blood, which makes her a shield maiden with magic capable of repelling any attack. It was foretold such a magic would unite the fractured nation of Skaland beneath the one who controls the shield maiden’s fate.

Believing he’s destined to rule Skaland as king, the fanatical jarl binds Freya with a blood oath and orders Bjorn to protect her from their enemies. Desperate to prove her strength, Freya must train to fight and learn to control her magic, all while facing perilous tests set by the gods. The greatest test of all, however, may be resisting her forbidden attraction to Bjorn.

]]> 217206125 The Spellshop is Sarah Beth Durst’s romantasy debut–a lush cottagecore tale full of stolen spellbooks, unexpected friendships, sweet jams, and even sweeter love.

Kiela has always had trouble dealing with people. Thankfully, as a librarian at the Great Library of Alyssium, she and her assistant, Caz—a magically sentient spider plant—have spent the last decade sequestered among the empire’s most precious spellbooks, preserving their magic for the city’s elite.

When a revolution begins and the library goes up in flames, she and Caz flee with all the spellbooks they can carry and head to a remote island Kiela never thought she’d see again: her childhood home. Taking refuge there, Kiela discovers, much to her dismay, a nosy—and very handsome—neighbor who can’t take a hint and keeps showing up day after day to make sure she’s fed and to help fix up her new home.

In need of income, Kiela identifies something that even the bakery in town doesn’t have: jam. With the help of an old recipe book her parents left her and a bit of illegal magic, her cottage garden is soon covered in ripe berries.

But magic can do more than make life a little sweeter, so Kiela risks the consequences of using unsanctioned spells and opens the island’s first-ever and much needed secret spellshop.

Like a Hallmark rom-com full of mythical creatures and fueled by cinnamon rolls and magic, The Spellshop will heal your heart and feed your soul.]]> 377 Sarah Beth Durst 1250333970 Darkeyy 0 to-read 3.98 2024

]]> 210807510 Търговецо, искам да сключа сделка��

Сирената Калипсо Лилис има чудесната професия на свръхестествен частен детектив, която ѝ позволява да използва силите си за любимото си хоби �� да наказва лоши мъже за злите им дела.
Ала като всяка сирена, над която тегне проклятие, Калипсо има минало, в което дебнат мрачни сенки и виещи призраци. Всички те са на показ, усукани на ръката ѝ под формата на гривна с безброй мъниста �� всяко от тях е услуга, която тя е поискала от загадъчния, митологичен Търговец. Всеки знае, че за тези услуги се плаща скъпо �� и цената няма да ти хареса.
Цели седем години обаче той не е потърсил Кали за отплата.
До деня, в който сирената заварва загадъчния Търговец в леглото си, лепнал си лукава усмивка и готов да събере дълговете си. Първото мънисто пада с признанието, че тя никога не е могла да забрави какво се е случило между тях преди седем години. Второто ѝ струва целувка. Третото��
Търговеца обаче има и друга причина да потърси сирената след толкова време. Нещо зловещо се случва в Земята на феите. Мъжете се изпаряват без следа, а жените се завръщат, потънали в дълбок сън в стъклени ковчези и с деца на гърдите си.
Само Калипсо знае всички тайни на Търговеца. И само тя може да му помогне да спаси хората си��
Ако успее да му прости и да не загуби сърцето си…]]> 448 Laura Thalassa 9542846282 Darkeyy 5 3.89 2016

]]> 54701884 „�� днешния свят опасностите са много, а най-голямата от тях се крие в постоянните смущения и дребнави проблеми, които ни карат да живеем без цел и смисъл. В тази книга, един майсторски синтез на източната и западната философия, Райън Холидей ни учи как да се фокусираме върху важното на фона на понякога затрупващите ни конфликти и проблеми на XXI век.��

Робърт Грийн

Райън Холидей чертае пътя към това невероятно самообладание, към покоя, който е нужен, за да успеем.

В духа на своите предишни книги �� „Твоет�� его е врагът�� и „Дарът на трудностите�� �� той черпи от мъдростта на големите философски течения и религии и от историите на значими личности �� от Марк Аврелий и Конфуций до Чърчил и Кенеди, за да подчертае огромното значение на спокойствието в човешкия живот.

В една епоха, в която сме подложени на невероятен информационен шум и всяка криза по света бива преувеличавана и набивана в главите ни от медии, социални мрежи и тролове, това спокойствие е ключ към по-щастлив и смислен живот и противоотрова на смазващия ни стрес.
Да приемем, че сме част от нещо по-голямо, да се възхитим на обикновените неща от живота и да се потопим в красотата на мига, да загърбим егото, да надмогнем себе си и да потърсим в покоя сила �� именно на това изкуство ни учи тази книга.

Това изкуство са владеели и мнозина от великите лидери, мислители, артисти и атлети, които в правилния момент са успявали да преодолеят собствения си темперамент, да се абстрахират напълно от напрежението, смущенията, страховете и съмнения и да направят това, което е нужно.

Как да запазим самообладание, когато всичко сякаш се срива около нас?

Как да намерим щастие и да постигаме успехи в един свят, който е извън нашия контрол и често ни изненадва по най-неприятни начини?

Може ли човек да продължава да работи и да дава всичко от себе си, ако непрекъснато е затрупван с излишна информация, лоши новини, страсти и изкушения?

A new series of prose novels, straight from the worldwide Naruto franchise. Naruto’s allies and enemies take center stage in these fast-paced adventures, with each volume focusing on a particular clan mate, ally, team…or villain.

The Great Ninja War has ended, but to untangle the mystery that remains, Sasuke sets out on a journey—one that he hopes will allow him to atone for his sins. During his travels, those ninja faithful to the avenger Sasuke bring about tragedy. Meanwhile danger closes in on the villages of Konoha, Kiri, and Kumo, where red eyes burn with hatred. What is the future Sasuke must stare down?]]> 176 Masashi Kishimoto 1421591294 Darkeyy 4 3.97 2015

]]> 203979936 „Силат�� на самоконтрола�� авторът на „Твоет�� его е врагът�� Райън Холидей ни дава точната рецепта как да започнем да отговаряме сами за себе си. Защото, както е казал Айзенхауер, свободата означава именно възможност да практикуваме самодисциплина. За да овладеем каквото и да е, първо трябва да овладеем себе си. Да си поставим ясни граници, за да имаме време, физическа и емоционална сила, да постигаме правилния баланс. Това е особено трудно в днешния забързан и изпълнен с възможности за разсейване и оправдания свят.

От тази книга ще научите:

- как да пазите силите си и защо перфекционизмът е порок;
- защо е толкова важно да можем да казваме „не��;
- защо е важно да спортуваме;
- как да преодоляваме болката и да не сме зависими от удоволствията и импулсите;
- как да си поставяме реалистични очаквания.

Райън Холидей дава множество примери за велики и популярни личности, успели да надмогнат себе си в трудни моменти: от Епиктет и Марк Аврелий, през Теодор Рузвелт, Чърчил и кралица Елизабет II до Мартин Лутър Кинг и писателката Джойс Каръл Оутс.

Да правим първо трудните неща. Да си подредим бюрото, да ставаме рано, да се наспиваме добре. Да упражняваме тялото и ума си. Да работим без разсейване. Да не водим безсмислени спорове онлайн. Да имаме силата да понасяме собствените си грешки, така че да извличаме от тях поуки, вместо да се укоряваме и да съжаляваме. Тези съвети изглеждат като нещо просто и очевидно. Но именно в това е и трудността �� да обърнем достатъчно внимание на простите неща от ежедневието, така че да спестим възможно най-много време и сила за големите предизвикателства по пътя към майсторството.]]> 252 Ryan Holiday 9542844735 Darkeyy 5 3.80 2022

In a distant city, an old cat considers himself as wise as can be, until he hears of an ancient pine far away, under the boughs of which infinite wisdom can be found. Thus, the Cat embarks on a journey deep into the forest to search for the tree. Along the way, he meets new friends—the Hare, the Magpie, the Wolf Cub, the Monkey, the Tortoise, and the Tiger—and comes across the energetic young Kitten. What wisdom does the Cat have to impart to his friends, and, perhaps more importantly, what does he still have to learn? Inspired by Zen koans, with stunning illustrations and a gentle voice, The Cat Who Taught Zen has wisdom to offer all readers.]]> 176 James Norbury 006334761X Darkeyy 0 currently-reading 4.31 2023

]]> 44891379 „Вдъхновяващ�� и проникновено изследване на науката и философията на съзнанието. Майкъл Газанига дава отговор на някои от най-дълбоките въпроси, които умът е способен да зададе.��
Стивън Пинкър, автор на „Ка�� работи умът�� и „Материалът на мисълта��

Как активността на невроните се превръща в съзнание? Как физическата реалност на атомите, молекулите и клетките създава живите и смайващи светове в главите ни? Проблемът за съзнанието ни преследва от хилядолетия. В последното столетие обаче мащабни пробиви пренаписаха науката за мозъка, но много от главоблъсканиците още от времето на древните гърци остават неразрешени.

В „Съзнаниет�� като инстинкт�� почитаният като баща на невронауката Майкъл С. Газанига събира всичко, което е постигнал през десетилетната си кариера. Той се опира както на последните научни изследвания, така и на историята на нашето познание, за да разкрие голямата картина на човешкото съзнание.

Идеята за мозъка като машина, предложена преди столетия, отвежда към заключения за зависимостта между него и ума, която провокира и разделя учените и философите до наши дни. Газанига прави истински пробив в тази теория и защитава идеята, че мозъкът е стройна система от независими модули, които работят в синхрон. Съзнанието е трудно да бъде угасено дори при наличието на тежки мозъчни травми и изменения, то няма център и винаги блещука в мрака. Разбирането как то се появява, ще дефинира бъдещето на невронауката и ще предопредели посоката на изследванията за изкуствения интелект.

В „Съзнаниет�� като инстинкт�� Майкъл С. Газанига представя не само наследството на живота си, отдаден на науката, но и посочва пътя към бъдещето.

„На��-просто казано, според мен съзнанието е инстинкт. Много организми, не само хората, го притежават в готов вид още с появата си. Тъкмо това са инстинктите �� нещо, което организмите притежават още с появата си. Живите същества имат организация, която прави възможно съществуването на живота и в крайна сметка на съзнанието, въпреки че са изградени от същите материали като неживия природен свят около тях.”]]> 264 Michael S.

Първата задача е да помогне на Ганимед, виночерпеца на Зевс, да си върне златния бокал, преди да е попаднал в неподходящи ръце.

What you believe can make it so.

You’ve heard of the placebo effect and how sugar pills can accelerate healing. But did you know that sham heart surgeries often work just as well as placing real stents? Or that people who think they’re particularly prone to cardiovascular disease are four times as likely to die from cardiac arrest? Such is the power and deadly importance of the expectation effect—how what we think will happen changes what does happen.

Melding neuroscience with narrative, science journalist David Robson takes readers on a deep dive into the many life zones the expectation effect permeates. We see how people who believe stress is beneficial become more creative when placed under strain. We see how associating aging with wisdom can add seven plus years to your life. People say seeing is believing but, over and over, Robson proves that the converse is truer: believing is seeing.

The Expectation Effect is not woo-woo. You cannot think your way into a pile of money or out of a cancer diagnosis. But just because magical thinking is nonsense doesn’t mean rational magic doesn’t exist. Pointing to accepted psychology and objective physiology, Robson gives us the practical takeaways we need to improve our fitness, productivity, intelligence, and happiness.]]> 336 David Robson 1250827639 Darkeyy 0 to-read 4.14 2022

Няма по-добър водач из тези енигматични въпроси от известния астрофизик и бестселъров автор Нийл Деграс Тайсън.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-AD 65) is one of the most famous Roman philosophers. Instrumental in guiding the Roman Empire under emperor Nero, Seneca influenced him from a young age with his Stoic principles. Later in life, he wrote Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, or Letters from a Stoic, detailing these principles in full.

Seneca’s letters read like a diary or a handbook of philosophical meditations. Often beginning with observations on daily life, the letters focus on many traditional themes of Stoic philosophy, such as the contempt of death, the value of friendship, and virtue as the supreme good.

Using Gummere’s translation from the early twentieth century, this selection of Seneca’s letters shows his belief in the austere, ethical ideals of Stoicism �� teachings we can still learn from today.]]> 254 Seneca 0140442103 Darkeyy 0 to-read 4.33 64

It’s the night before Death-Cast goes live, and there’s one question on everyone’s mind: Can Death-Cast actually predict when someone will die, or is it just an elaborate hoax?

Orion Pagan has waited years for someone to tell him that he’s going to die. He has a serious heart condition, and he signed up for Death-Cast so he could know what’s coming.

Valentino Prince is restarting his life in New York. He has a long and promising future ahead and he only registered for Death-Cast after his twin sister nearly died in a car accident.

Orion and Valentino cross paths in Times Square and immediately feel a deep connection. But when the first round of End Day calls goes out, their lives are changed forever—one of them receives a call, and the other doesn’t. Though neither boy is certain how the day will end, they know they want to spend it together…even if that means their goodbye will be heartbreaking.

Told with acclaimed author Adam Silvera’s signature bittersweet touch, this story celebrates the lasting impact that people have on each other and proves that life is always worth living to the fullest.]]> 550 Adam Silvera 0063240807 Darkeyy 0 to-read 3.98 2022

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. First published by Scribner in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.]]> 180 F.

Игълман е доктор по невробиология и психиатрия, който обаче има и бакалавърска степен по британска и американска литература. В него се съчетават страстна любов към литературата и неутолимо научно любопитство. Той е скромен и обикновен човек, и в същото време изключително чаровен и интересен гост, който изправя на крака публиката в телевизионните студиа и в университетските аудитории. От всичко това се е получило прекрасно съчетание, и досегът с талантливите му творби е източник на уникална интелектуална наслада.

В "Инкогнито" Дейвид Игълман твърди, че повечето от операциите, които извършва мозъкът, са недостъпни за съзнанието ни. Игълман изследва дълбините на подсъзнанието, за да хвърли светлина върху неговите удивителни тайни.

�� Защо скалите сякаш се движат нагоре, след като сте се взирали във водопад?
�� Защо съдията от Върховния съд Уилям Дъглас твърдял, че може да играе ръгби и да ходи на излет, когато всички виждали, че е парализиран след инсулт?
�� Защо Томас Едисън умъртвил с електрически ток слона Топси през 1916 г.?
�� Защо американците обичат да съхраняват парите си в коледни влогове, които не им носят лихва?
�� Ако пияният Мел Гибсън мрази евреите, а трезвият Мел Гибсън искрено се разкайва, то съществува ли истински Мел Гибсън?
�� Какво общо имат Одисей и кризата с високорисковите ипотечни заеми в САЩ?
�� Защо стриптийзьорките печелят повече пари в определени периоди от месеца?
�� Защо хора, чиито имена започват с „Д��, е по-вероятно да се оженят за други хора с такива имена?
�� Защо толкова се изкушаваме да споделим тайна?
�� Има ли съпрузи, които е по-вероятно да изневерят?

Въртите се в омагьосан кръг от вредни навици? Проблемът не е у вас. Проблемът е в системата, която използвате. Често лошите навици биват повтаряни отново и отново.

Назывался этот свод "Kybalion". Значение этого слова со временем было утрачено и теперь, по-видимому, никому не известно.

A. J. Fikry’s life is not at all what he expected it to be. His wife has died, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. Slowly but surely, he is isolating himself from all the people of Alice Island—from Lambiase, the well-intentioned police officer who’s always felt kindly toward Fikry; from Ismay, his sister-in-law who is hell-bent on saving him from his dreary self; from Amelia, the lovely and idealistic (if eccentric) Knightley Press sales rep who keeps on taking the ferry over to Alice Island, refusing to be deterred by A.J.’s bad attitude. Even the books in his store have stopped holding pleasure for him. These days, A.J. can only see them as a sign of a world that is changing too rapidly.

And then a mysterious package appears at the bookstore. It’s a small package, but large in weight. It’s that unexpected arrival that gives A. J. Fikry the opportunity to make his life over, the ability to see everything anew. It doesn’t take long for the locals to notice the change overcoming A.J.; or for that determined sales rep, Amelia, to see her curmudgeonly client in a new light; or for the wisdom of all those books to become again the lifeblood of A.J.’s world; or for everything to twist again into a version of his life that he didn’t see coming. As surprising as it is moving, The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry is an unforgettable tale of transformation and second chances, an irresistible affirmation of why we read, and why we love.]]> 260 Gabrielle Zevin 1616203218 Darkeyy 0 to-read 4.00 2014

In it Tolstoy uses his intense imaginative insight to create some of the most memorable characters in all of literature. Anna is a sophisticated woman who abandons her empty existence as the wife of Karenin and turns to Count Vronsky to fulfil her passionate nature - with tragic consequences. Levin is a reflection of Tolstoy himself, often expressing the author's own views and convictions.

Throughout, Tolstoy points no moral, merely inviting us not to judge but to watch. As Rosemary Edmonds comments, 'He leaves the shifting patterns of the kaleidoscope to bring home the meaning of the brooding words following the title, 'Vengeance is mine, and I will repay.]]> 964 Leo Tolstoy 0345803922 Darkeyy 0 currently-reading 4.11 1878

She and the remaining crew of the Argo II could return home with the Athena Parthenos statue and try to stop Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter from going to war. Or they could continue their quest to find the House of Hades, where they might be able to open the Doors of Death, rescue their friends Percy and Annabeth from Tartarus, and prevent monsters from being reincarnated in the mortal world. Whichever road they decide to take, they have to hurry, because time is running out. Gaea, the bloodthirsty Earth Mother, has set the date of August 1 for her rise to power.

Annabeth and Percy are overwhelmed. How will the two of them make it through Tartarus? Starving, thirsty, and in pain, they are barely able to stumble on in the dark and poisonous landscape that holds new horrors at every turn. They have no way of locating the Doors of Death. Even if they did, a legion of Gaea's strongest monsters guards the Doors on the Tartarus side. Annabeth and Percy can't exactly launch a frontal assault.

Despite the terrible odds, Hazel, Annabeth, Percy, and the other demigods of the prophecy know that there is only one choice: to attempt the impossible. Not just for themselves, but for everyone they love. Even though love can be the riskiest choice of all.

Join the demigods as they face their biggest challenges yet in The House of Hades, the hair-raising penultimate book in the best-selling Heroes of Olympus series.]]> 597 Rick Riordan 1423146727 Darkeyy 0 4.56 2013

His brain fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa told him he is a demigod and trained him to fight with the pen/sword in his pocket. Somehow Percy manages to make it to a camp for half-bloods, despite the fact that he has to keep killing monsters along the way. But the camp doesn't ring any bells with him. The only thing he can recall from his past is another name: Annabeth.

HAZEL IS SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD. When she lived before, she didn't do a very good job of it. Sure, she was an obedient daughter, even when her mother was possessed by greed. But that was the problem—when the Voice took over her mother and commanded Hazel to use her "gift" for an evil purpose, Hazel couldn't say no. Now because of her mistake, the future of the world is at risk. Hazel wishes she could ride away from it all on the stallion that appears in her dreams.

FRANK IS A KLUTZ. His grandmother says he is descended from heroes and can be anything he wants to be, but he doesn't see it. He doesn't even know who his father is. He keeps hoping Apollo will claim him, because the only thing he is good at is archery—although not good enough to win camp war games. His bulky physique makes him feel like an ox, especially in front of Hazel, his closest friend at camp. He trusts her completely—enough to share the secret he holds close to his heart.

Beginning at the "other" camp for half-bloods and extending as far as the land beyond the gods, this breathtaking second installment of the Heroes of Olympus series introduces new demigods, revives fearsome monsters, and features other remarkable creatures, all destined to play a part in the Prophesy of Seven.]]> 521 Rick Riordan 1423140591 Darkeyy 0 4.41 2011

]]> 12127750 Annabeth is terrified. Just when she's about to be reunited with Percy—after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera—it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can't blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon figurehead, Leo's fantastical creation doesn't appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.

And that's only one of her worries. In her pocket, Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving command: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find—and close—the Doors of Death. What more does Athena want from her?

Annabeth's biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. What if he's now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader—but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side

Narrated by four different demigods, The Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await. Climb aboard the Argo II, if you dare. . . .]]> 586 Rick Riordan 1423140605 Darkeyy 0 4.47 2012

Sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called Camp Half-Blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown.

One day, Magnus learns that someone else is trying to track him down—his uncle Randolph, a man his mother had always warned him about. When Magnus tries to outmaneuver his uncle, he falls right into his clutches. Randolph starts rambling about Norse history and Magnus's birthright: a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years.

The more Randolph talks, the more puzzle pieces fall into place. Stories about the gods of Asgard, wolves, and Doomsday bubble up from Magnus's memory. But he doesn't have time to consider it all before a fire giant attacks the city, forcing him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents. . . .

Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die.]]> 512 Rick Riordan 1423160916 Darkeyy 0 4.22 2015

It's been six weeks since Magnus and his friends returned from defeating Fenris Wolf and the fire giants. Magnus has adjusted to life at the Hotel Valhalla—as much as a once-homeless and previously alive kid can. As a son of Frey, the god of summer, fertility, and health, Magnus doesn't exactly fit in with the rest of Odin's chosen warriors, but he has a few good peeps among his hallmates on floor nineteen, and he's been dutifully training for Ragnarok along with everyone else. His days have settled into a new kind of normal.

But Magnus should have known there's no such thing as normal in the Nine Worlds. His friends Hearthstone and Blitzen have disappeared. A new hallmate is creating chaos. According to a very nervous goat, a certain object belonging to Thor is still missing, and the thunder god's enemies will stop at nothing to gain control of it.

Time to summon Jack, the Sword of Summer, and take action. Too bad the only action Jack seems to be interested in is dates with other magical weapons. . . .]]> 459 Rick Riordan 1423160924 Darkeyy 5 4.29 2016

It's up to Magnus and his friends to stop him, but to do so they will have to sail across the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim, and Niflheim in a desperate race to reach Naglfar before it's ready to sail. Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon. But Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons.

My vision was growing dimmer, the blackness and ghosts closing in. I swore it was like I could hear Robert whispering in my ear: The world of the dead won't give you up a second time. Just before the light completely vanished, I saw Dimitri's face join Lissa's. I wanted to smile. I decided then that if the two people I loved most were safe, I could leave this world.

The dead could finally have me.

Rose Hathaway has always played by her own rules. She broke the law when she ran away from St. Vladimir's Academy with her best friend and last surviving Dragomir princess, Lissa. She broke the law when she fell in love with her gorgeous, off-limits instructor, Dimitri. And she dared to defy Queen Tatiana, leader of the Moroi world, risking her life and reputation to protect generations of dhampir guardians to come.

Now the law has finally caught up with Rose - for a crime she didn't even commit. She's in prison for the highest offense imaginable: the assassination of a monarch. She'll need help from both Dimitri and Adrian to find the one living person who can stall her execution and force the Moroi elite to acknowledge a shocking new candidate for the royal throne: Vasilisa Dragomir.

But the clock on Rose's life is running out. Rose knows in her heart the world of the dead wants her back...and this time she is truly out of second chances. The big question is, when your whole life is about saving others, who will save you?

Join Rose, Dimitri, Adrian, and Lissa in Last Sacrifice, the epic, unforgettable finale to Richelle Mead's international #1 bestselling Vampire Academy series.]]> 594 Richelle Mead 1595143068 Darkeyy 0 4.37 2010

The words stunned Adrian for a moment, but he kept going. "You're lying. What you're describing is impossible. There's no way to save a Strigoi. When they're gone, they're gone. They're dead. Undead. Forever."
Robert's next words weren't directed at Adrian. They were spoken to me. "That which is dead doesn't always stay dead...."

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Siberia, Dimitri’s birthplace, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir’s—and to her best friend, Lissa Dragomir. It's graduation, and the girls can’t wait for their real lives outside the academy’s cold iron gates to finally begin. But even with the intrigue and excitement of court life looming, Rose’s heart still aches for Dimitri. He’s out there, somewhere.

She failed to kill him when she had the chance, and now her worst fears are about to come true. Dimitri has tasted her blood, and she knows in her heart that he is hunting her. And if Rose won't join him, he won't rest until he has silenced her . . . forever.

But Rose can't forget what she learned on her journey—whispers of a magic too impossible and terrifying to comprehend. A magic inextricably tied to Lissa that could hold the answer to all of Rose's prayers, but not without devastating consequences. Now Rose will have to decide what—and who—matters most to her. And in the end, is true love really worth the price?

Fall in love with Rose and Dimitri all over again in Spirit Bound, the eagerly awaited fifth novel in Richelle Mead's enthralling Vampire Academy series.]]> 489 Richelle Mead 1595142509 Darkeyy 0 4.33 2010

Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire with a rare gift for harnessing the earth's magic. She must be protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest vampires - the ones who never die. The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir. Rose is dedicated to a dangerous life of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making Lissa one of them.

Rose knows it is forbidden to love another guardian. Her best friend, Lissa - the last Dragomir princess - must always come first. Unfortunately, when it comes to gorgeous Dimitri Belikov, some rules are meant to be broken...

Then a strange darkness begins to grow in Rose's mind, and ghostly shadows warn of a terrible evil drawing nearer to the Academy's iron gates.

]]> 5996153 Bound by love, but sworn to kill...
The world thought Dimitri was dead. And to a certain extent, he was. But I hadn't been able to forget a conversation he and I had once had. We'd both agreed that we'd rather be dead - truly dead - than walk the world as Strigoi. It was time to honor our words.

Guardian Rose Hathaway's life will never be the same. The recent attack on St. Vladimir's Academy devastated the entire Moroi world. Many are dead. And, for the few victims carried off by Strigoi, their fates are even worse. A rare tattoo now adorns Rose's neck; a mark that says she's killed far too many Strigoi to count.

But only one victim matters... Dimitri Belikov. Rose must now choose one of two very different paths: honoring her life's vow to protect Lissa—her best friend and the last surviving Dragomir princess—or, dropping out of the Academy to strike out on her own and hunt down the man she loves. She'll have to go to the ends of the earth to find Dimitri and keep the promise he begged her to make. But the question is, when the time comes, will he want to be saved?

Now, with everything at stake—and worlds away from St. Vladimir's and her unguarded, vulnerable, and newly rebellious best friend—can Rose find the strength to destroy Dimitri? Or, will she sacrifice herself for a chance at eternal love?

Readers who fell in love with Rose, Lissa, and Dimitri won't want to miss Blood Promise, the much-anticipated, epic fourth novel in Richelle Mead's enthralling Vampire Academy series.]]> 503 Richelle Mead 1595141987 Darkeyy 5 4.31 2009

Apparently he has a girlfriend named Piper, and his best friend is a guy named Leo. They’re all students at the Wilderness School, a boarding school for “bad kids," as Leo puts it. What did Jason do to end up here? And where is here, exactly? Jason doesn't know anything—except that everything seems very wrong.

PIPER HAS A SECRET. Her father has been missing for three days, ever since she had that terrifying nightmare about his being in trouble. Piper doesn’t understand her dream, or why her boyfriend suddenly doesn’t recognize her. When a freak storm hits during the school trip, unleashing strange creatures and whisking her, Jason, and Leo away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood, she has a feeling she’s going to find out, whether she wants to or not.

LEO HAS A WAY WITH TOOLS. When he sees his cabin at Camp Half-Blood, filled with power tools and machine parts, he feels right at home. But there’s weird stuff, too—like the curse everyone keeps talking about, and some camper who's gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist that each of them—including Leo—is related to a god. Does this have anything to do with Jason's amnesia, or the fact that Leo keeps seeing ghosts?

Join new and old friends from Camp Half-Blood in this thrilling first book in The Heroes of Olympus series.

Hazel is supposed to be dead. When she lived before, she didn’t do a very good job of it. When the Voice took over her mother and commanded Hazel to use her “gift�� for an evil purpose, Hazel couldn’t say no. Now, because of her mistake, the future of the world is at risk.

Frank is a klutz. His grandmother claims he is descended from ancient heroes and can be anything he wants to be, but he doesn’t see it. He doesn’t even know who his father is. He keeps hoping Apollo will claim him, because the only thing he is good at is archery―although not good enough to help the Fifth Cohort win at war games. His big and bulky physique makes him feel like a clumsy ox, especially in front of Hazel, his closest friend at camp. He trusts her completely―enough, even, to share the secret he holds close to his heart.
