Sylva and the Fairy Ball 16065637 With Sylva and the Fairy Ball, Margaret McNamara launches the Fairy Bell Sisters, an enchanting new chapter-book series. The books feature Tinker Bell’s little sisters and are a must-read for lovers of the Rainbow Fairies and Disney Fairies stories.

Clara Bell, Golden Bell, Rosy Bell, Sylva Bell, and baby Squeak are fairy sisters who live on Sheepskerry Island. Usually Sylva and her sisters get along just fine—until the week of the Fairy Ball. Sylva has her heart set on going—she’ll get to wear magical diamond wings and walk on beautiful satin ribbons under the stars! But fairies must be at least eight years old to attend, and poor Sylva’s birthday is the day after the ball. But before the night is over, Sylva’s big sisters will need her to come to their rescue.

Charming illustrations by Julia Denos bring the world of fairies to life.

Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay, brought to life by a disgraced rabbi who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic and dies at sea on the voyage from Poland. Chava is unmoored and adrift as the ship arrives in New York harbor in 1899.

Ahmad is a jinni, a being of fire born in the ancient Syrian desert, trapped in an old copper flask, and released in New York City, though still not entirely free.

Ahmad and Chava become unlikely friends and soul mates with a mystical connection. Marvelous and compulsively readable, Helene Wecker's debut novel The Golem and the Jinni weaves strands of Yiddish and Middle Eastern literature, historical fiction and magical fable, into a wondrously inventive and unforgettable tale.]]>

Well, here is your book!

I’ve been working with herbs and essential oils for many years, and have taken (and still am) many herbalism classes. I love plants! I believe plants heal, whether they are in herbal form or essential oils. Having had some health issues, I know that for me, the natural way to do things is best.

Once I learned about the toxins in the body care products lining market shelves, I decided then and there that I would make my own. It’s been a process! I’m still not 100% there, I’ll admit. But when it comes to cleansers, and especially soaps, we only use the ones I make or those I deem “natural.� Truly natural. This book will show you how to easily make a natural soap your skin will love!

Many soap making books give you tons of recipes to choose from, and honestly, I think they are a bit overwhelming. Especially when the recipes differ so greatly in the kinds of oils you need to use. I decided to make this book simple. I’m giving you my BEST and most favorite soap recipe�-the one that’s asked for ALL the time by my friends and family. You’ll get complete directions for how to make the hot process style of soap making. THEN, you’ll get the fun part! This is where I provide variation ideas with this one recipe so you can make lots of different kinds of soaps. After that, you’ll get lists of essential oils, herbs, clays, and textures to play with!

It’s a simple, yet very comprehensive book for you if you want to learn how to make your own soap using the hot process method—and still be able to use your own creative license to make the soaps unique to you!

Enjoy! Have fun with your soap making adventures!

<![CDATA[The Bear and the Nightingale (Winternight Trilogy, #1)]]> 40004709
After Vasilisa's mother dies, her father goes to Moscow and brings home a new wife. Fiercely devout, city-bred, Vasilisa's new stepmother forbids her family from honoring the household spirits. The family acquiesces, but Vasilisa is frightened, sensing that more hinges upon their rituals than anyone knows.

And indeed, crops begin to fail, evil creatures of the forest creep nearer, and misfortune stalks the village. All the while, Vasilisa's stepmother grows ever harsher in her determination to groom her rebellious stepdaughter for either marriage or confinement in a convent.

As danger circles, Vasilisa must defy even the people she loves and call on dangerous gifts she has long concealed—this, in order to protect her family from a threat that seems to have stepped from her nurse's most frightening tales.

The Bear and the Nightingale is a magical debut novel from a gifted and gorgeous voice. It spins an irresistible spell as it announces the arrival of a singular talent.]]>

The Night Circus 9361589
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.

True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.

Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.]]>

من وحي المحنة 20752567 أهم الدوافع والموجبات، هي موضع سر الله في تهيئة العبد لكلِّ خير، ومغزى حكمته عز وجل ‏ف� إنارة طريقنا بأقوال السالفين.�
المحنة..�
عصا الأزلية التي تسوق الكلام من جيلٍ إلى جيلٍ ومن زمنٍ إلى زمنٍ، هي المفتاحُ الذي يُخرج لنا من صندوق المواهب ‏الخير� في كلِّ أوانٍ ومكانٍ.
وكلما ازدادت ثخونةً وغلظةً كان الكلامُ أكثرَ قبولًا وتألقًا وأشدَّ سيلانًا ‏وتدفقً�.
فيالسعادة! كاتب يخرج من المحنة وقد أخرج لنا اللآلئ والدُرر من طيات أيام محنته.
‏ويالتعاس�! كاتب يخرج من المحنة ولم يحصد من أيامها سوى ضيق الصدر وشقاء النفس ودنو ‏الهم�.�
الكاتب الصادق الذي لا يخشى وقوعَ المحنة، ولا يرهب حدوثَ البلايا، ولا يهابَ رياح النوازل، بل يُرحب بها، بل يُرحب بها، فهي واقعةٌ على كلِّ حالٍ، وخير ‏ل� أن يستغلَّها وينتفع بشدة أيامها وعنفوان حوادثها؛ ليُخرِجَ للناس ما عسى أن يوقظَهم من ‏غفلتِهم� ويأخذ بأيديهم نحو السعادة والنجاح. �
ولا يخفى ما مرت به بلادُنا العربيةُ من محنٍ زلزلت مراقدَنا، وأثارت جذوةَ دفئنا، فنبهتنا من ‏سُبات� أزعجنا كابوسُه وأثقل رؤوسَنا بخارُ خمولِه وانحلالِه.�
وقد كان مؤلفو هذا الكتاب ممن استجاب لنفير هذه المحن، فاكتووا بنارِها وضاق صدرُهم بدخانِ لهيبها، فأوحى لهم الألمُ بهذه المقالات، ونحتت في قلوبِهم ملماتُ النوازل تلك الخواطر، فخرج هذا الصارمُ الذي يرجو صانعوه أن ‏يُحم� عمله في المحن والشدائد، وأن يجعل الله لهم به لسان صدقٍ في الآخرين.
وقد حرصوا في هذه المقالات على تنويع موضوعاتها؛ لتشمل أكبرَ قدرٍ ممكن من النظراتِ التأمليةِ والقضايا الفكريةِ بناتِ المحن التي مرَّت بها أمتُنا في السنوات الأخيرة، فتنوعت أشكالُها ما بين مقالات طويلة ومتوسطة بُدِئ بها الكتاب، ثم خواطر قصيرة خُتِم بها.
وهم في ذلك كله يَعرضون أعمالَهم بروحٍ أدبيةٍ ونظرةٍ فكريةٍ تنقض الملل، وتداوي الألم، وتُحيي الأمل، وتبعث على التفاؤل.
راجين من اللهِ تعالى أن تقَع هذه الكلماتُ في قلب كلِّ مسلمٍ ما زال صالحًا لكلِّ خير؛ ليُبصرَ بقلبِه ما أبصرته أقلامُهم، ولتكون نِبْراسًا له يهتدي بضيائه في ظلماتِ المحنة الحالكة، ومُتنفسًا له ومُستراحًا من عناء ما يُلاقيه من شدتها، ومُسكنًا ودواءً لما يُعانيه من آلام تبعاتها.
هاهنا مقالٌ ربما تشعر أنك كاتبُه، أدبٌ ربما لا تشك في أنك أديبُه، شعرٌ ربما أنت ناظِمُه، صيحةٌ مِن صيحات الحق التي ربما وددت يومًا أن تدوي في هذا العالم فتطرق الأسماعَ وتلفت الأبصارَ.
هي محض خواطر لكنها ستُعينك على أن تواجه شيئًا مما يُؤرقك.. وتذكر دائمًا أن هذه السطور كُتبت من وحي نفس المحنة التي مررتَ أنتَ بها.
فإن كان ثمة عجز في إيصال بعض المعاني وكشف بعض الحقائق بصفائها ونقائها التي هي عليه، وإن كان ثمة تعثر أو خطأ أو قصور فيما عُرِضَ وطُرِحَ؛ فما على عُرجٍ في ذاك من حرجٍ، فهذا أليقُ بنا، ونحن نُدِينُ لذي الكمال بالعبوديةِ، ونعترفُ له بقصورِنا وتقصيرِنا، نتسولُ منه الرحمةَ، ونرجو منه القَبولَ، إليه نستند وبه نعتضد.
فشكرًا لمحنةٍ أوقدَت مصابيحَ دروبِنا الغارقةِ في دياجيرِ ‏الجهالة�.‏]]>

نبحر مع نوح ونسمو مع إبراهيم ونصبر مع أيوب ونسبح مع داوود ونصمد مع الغلام فى وجه صاحب الأخدود ونتزلزل مع المؤمنين فى مواجهة الكفر والجحود

In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born—three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.

But becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a game of win or lose…it’s life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins.

The last queen standing gets the crown.]]>

<![CDATA[A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Stories in Our Genes]]> 30135182
Since scientists first read the human genome in 2001, it has been subject to all sorts of claims, counterclaims, and myths. In fact, as Adam Rutherford explains, our genomes should be read not as instruction manuals, but as epic poems. DNA determines far less than we have been led to believe about us as individuals, but vastly more about us as a species.

In this captivating journey through the expanding landscape of genetics, Adam Rutherford reveals what our genes now tell us about history, and what history tells us about our genes. From Neanderthals to murder, from redheads to race, dead kings to plague, evolution to epigenetics, this is a demystifying and illuminating new portrait of who we are and how we came to be."]]>

The Personality Code 230789
The Personality Code clearly and persuasively demonstrates how personality determines why we do what we do and how we can maximize our strengths, work smarter with others, and profit from better relationships in our careers.

Based on the IDISC(tm) Personality Profile-an updated and rigorously validated proprietary version of DISC, the world's most popular form of personality testing-the book provides insights and strategies for individuals and organizations that promote self-awareness and foster excellence.

Readers will have free access to the online IDISC(tm) Personality Profile (each book will include a unique code number), which will reveal their own profiles from among the fourteen personality types that have been refined and defined through the author's decade-long international study involving more than five hundred thousand participants.

Travis Bradberry shows readers how to discern the fixed characteristics that explain three-quarters of human behavior. Most important, they will learn how to leverage these traits in order to capitalize on their strengths and sidestep weaknesses in themselves as well as in other people.]]>

Blindness 2526 No food, no water, no government, no obligation, no order.

Discover a
chillingly powerful and prescient dystopian vision from one of Europe's greatest writers.

A driver waiting at the traffic lights goes blind. An ophthalmologist tries to diagnose his distinctive white blindness, but is affected before he can read the textbooks.
It becomes a contagion, spreading throughout the city. Trying to stem the epidemic, the authorities herd the afflicted into a mental asylum where the wards are terrorised by blind thugs. And when fire destroys the asylum, the inmates burst forth and the last links with a supposedly civilised society are snapped.

This is not anarchy, this is blindness.

<![CDATA[Every Heart a Doorway (Wayward Children, #1)]]> 25526296 Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children
No Solicitations
No Visitors
No Quests

Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere... else.

But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children.

Nancy tumbled once, but now she’s back. The things she’s experienced... they change a person. The children under Miss West’s care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world.

But Nancy’s arrival marks a change at the Home. There’s a darkness just around each corner, and when tragedy strikes, it’s up to Nancy and her new-found schoolmates to get to the heart of the matter.

No matter the cost.]]>

<![CDATA[Geekerella (Once Upon a Con, #1)]]> 30724132 Cinderella goes to the con in this fandom-fueled twist on the classic fairy tale.

Part romance, part love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella is a fairy tale for anyone who believes in the magic of fandom. Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic sci-fi series she grew up watching with her late father. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a new Starfield movie, she has to enter. The prize? An invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball, and a meet-and-greet with the actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. With savings from her gig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck (and her dad’s old costume), Elle’s determined to win…unless her stepsisters get there first.

Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for cons—before he was famous. Now they’re nothing but autographs and awkward meet-and-greets. Playing Carmindor is all he’s ever wanted, but the Starfield fandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. As ExcelsiCon draws near, Darien feels more and more like a fake—until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise.]]>

When Breath Becomes Air 25614898 When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a naïve medical student “possessed,� as he wrote, “by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life� into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality.

What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir.]]>

<![CDATA[I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban]]> 17851885 I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday.

When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.

On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.

Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

I Am Malala is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.]]>

When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother, Fox, from the dead, she learns she is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy means that she’s a bone witch, a title that makes her feared and ostracized by her community. But Tea finds solace and guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes Tea and her brother to another land for training.

In her new home, Tea puts all her energy into becoming an asha—one who can wield elemental magic. But dark forces are approaching quickly, and in the face of danger, Tea will have to overcome her obstacles…and make a powerful choice.

<![CDATA[The Bone Doll's Twin (The Tamír Triad, #1)]]> 671560
Dark Magic, Hidden Destiny

For three centuries a divine prophecy and a line of warrior queens protected Skala. But the people grew complacent and Erius, a usurper king, claimed his young half sister’s throne.

Now plague and drought stalk the land, war with Skala’s ancient rival Plenimar drains the country’s lifeblood, and to be born female into the royal line has become a death sentence as the king fights to ensure the succession of his only heir, a son. For King Erius the greatest threat comes from his own line � and from Illior’s faithful, who spread the Oracle’s words to a doubting populace.

As noblewomen young and old perish mysteriously, the king’s nephew � his sister’s only child � grows toward manhood. But unbeknownst to the king or the boy, strange, haunted Tobin is the princess’s daughter, given male form by a dark magic to protect her until she can claim her rightful destiny.

Only Tobin’s noble father, two wizards of Illior, and an outlawed forest witch know the truth. Only they can protect young Tobin from a king’s wrath, a mother’s madness, and the terrifying rage of her brother’s demon spirit, determined to avenge his brutal murder....]]>

Where Things Come Back 8563789
In the summer before Cullen's senior year, a nominally-depressed birdwatcher named John Barling thinks he spots a species of woodpecker thought to be extinct since the 1940s in Lily, Arkansas. His rediscovery of the so-called Lazarus Woodpecker sparks a flurry of press and woodpecker-mania. Soon all the kids are getting woodpecker haircuts and everyone's eating "Lazarus burgers." But as absurd as the town's carnival atmosphere has become, nothing is more startling than the realization that Cullen’s sensitive, gifted fifteen-year-old brother Gabriel has suddenly and inexplicably disappeared.

While Cullen navigates his way through a summer of finding and losing love, holding his fragile family together, and muddling his way into adulthood, a young missionary in Africa, who has lost his faith, is searching for any semblance of meaning wherever he can find it. As distant as the two stories seem at the start, they are thoughtfully woven ever closer together and through masterful plotting, brought face to face in a surprising and harrowing climax.

Complex but truly extraordinary, tinged with melancholy and regret, comedy and absurdity, this novel finds wonder in the ordinary and emerges as ultimately hopeful. It's about a lot more than what Cullen calls, “that damn bird.� It’s about the dream of second chances.]]>

Ulysses 338798
According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking". Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early 20th-century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland's relationship to Britain.

The novel is highly allusive and also imitates the styles of different periods of English literature. Since its publication, the book has attracted controversy and scrutiny, ranging from an obscenity trial in the United States in 1921 to protracted textual "Joyce Wars." The novel's stream-of-consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose—replete with puns, parodies, and allusions—as well as its rich characterisation and broad humour have led it to be regarded as one of the greatest literary works in history; Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday.']]>

Jane, Unlimited 32991569 If you could change your story, would you?

Jane has lived a mostly ordinary life, raised by her recently deceased aunt Magnolia, whom she counted on to turn life into an adventure. Without Aunt Magnolia, Jane is directionless. Then an old acquaintance, the glamorous and capricious Kiran Thrash, blows back into Jane’s life and invites her to a gala at the Thrashes� extravagant island mansion called Tu Reviens. Jane remembers her aunt telling her: “If anyone ever invites you to Tu Reviens, promise me that you’ll go.�

What Jane doesn’t know is that at Tu Reviens her story will change; the house will offer her five choices that could ultimately determine the course of her untethered life. But every choice comes with a price. She might fall in love, she might lose her life, she might come face-to-face with herself. At Tu Reviens, anything is possible.]]>

Lock them deep inside your soul, hide them ‘til they’ve time to grow. Close your mouth upon the power, curse not, cure not, ‘til the hour. You won’t speak and you won’t tell, you won’t call on heav’n or hell. You will learn and you will thrive. Silence, Daughter. Stay alive.

The day my mother was killed, she told my father I wouldn’t speak again, and she told him if I died, he would die too. Then she predicted the king would trade his soul and lose his son to the sky.

My father has a claim to the throne, and he is waiting in the shadows for all of my mother’s words to come to pass. He wants desperately to be king, and I just want to be free.

But freedom will require escape, and I’m a prisoner of my mother’s curse and my father’s greed. I can’t speak or make a sound, and I can’t wield a sword or beguile a king. In a land purged of enchantment, love might be the only magic left, and who could ever love . . . a bird?]]>

هذا الرواية لا تخرج عن الطابع الذي عُرف به هاروكي موراكامي؛ إذ يتناول موضوعات الوحدة والاغتراب والتوق للتواصل الإنساني عبر شخصياتٍ رسمها بعناية وإحالات غريبة وتقلبات القدر التي يقدمها موراكامي في إطار من الواقعية السحرية.]]>

رقص... رقص... رقص... 12908597
وفندق الدولفين هو فندق يندّ عن المألوف وذلك لضيقه الشديد الذي يجعله يبدو أشبه بجسر طويل، بيد أنه جسر مغطى، جسر يتمدد في الزمان إلى ما لا نهاية، وهناك أجدني داخله، لكن هنالك شخص آخر يبكي أيضاً.

أجد الفندق دائماً يحوطني من كل جانب، أستشعر نبضاته وحرارته، وفي أحلامي أجدني جزءاً منه، أصحو من نومي، ولكن أين أنا؟ إنني حتى لا أفكر في ذلك، سألت نفسي بالفعل ذلك السؤال: "أين أنا؟" وكأنني لم أكن أعلم: إنني موجود، في حياتي، ووجودي هو مظهر من مظاهر العالم، لست أستذكر ولو لمرة واحدة أنه سبق لي أن وافقت على هذه الأمور أو هذه الحالة أو مجموعة الأحداث هذه التي أظهر فيها، ربما تكون ثمة إمرأة تنام إلى جواري، ولكن في معظم الأحوال أجدني وحيداً، ليس هناك سواي أنا والطريق السريع الذي يمتد مباشرة بمحاذاة شقتي وكذلك كأس (كان ما زال فيها خمسة مليمترات من الويسكي) وضوء الصبح المغبر أحياناً يكون الطقس ماطراً.

إن فندق الدولفين فندق حقيقي ويوجد بالفعل في حي من أحياء سابورو، كنت قد أمضيت فيه أسبوعاً قبل عدة سنوات، لا بل دعني أكون دقيقاً في ذلك، قبل كم سنة كان ذلك؟ أربع سنوات، وحتى أكون أكثر دقة، أربع سنوات ونصف، كنت ما أزال آنذاك في العشرينات من عمري، حينما نزلت بفندق الدولفين بصحة إمرأة كنت أعيش معها، وكانت هي مَن اختارت المكان حينما قالت "هذا هو المكان الذي سننزل به"، ولولاها لما وطأت قدماي أبداً مثل هذا المكان.

كان فندقاً صغيراً وقبيحاً، فطوال الوقت الذي أمضيناه هناك لا أعرف ما إذا كنا رأينا أي نزلاء آخرين، كانت هناك بعض المفاتيح غير موجودة في اللوحة الموجودة خلف مكتب الإستقبال وهو ما يجعلني أخمّن أن ثمة نزلاء آخرين كانوا هناك...

إنه فندق يحوطه الغموض من كل جانب، يذكّرني بالموت البيولوجي، وبإنتكاسة جينية، إنه صنع غريب من أعمال الطبيعة التي ألقت بكائن في المسار الخطأ من دون أن يكون ثمة طريق للعودة...

بيد أننا أقمنا هناك، وأذكر أنها قالت "هذا هو المكان الذي سننزل به"، لكنها اختفت بعد ذلك، ظهرت ثم اختفت، إنه المقنَّع هو الذي أبلغني بذلك حينما قال: المرأة غادرت بمفردها بعد الظهيرة، بطريقة ما كان الرجل المقنَّع يعلم بذلك، علم أنه كان لزاماً عليها أن تغادر، تماماً مثلما أعلم أنا الآن، كانت غايتها أن تأخذني إلى هناك، كما لو كان ذلك هو قدرها، مثل نهر فولتاففا في تدفقه نحو مصبّه في البحر، ومثل المطر في نزوله إلى الأرض؛ حينما بدأت هذه الأحلام تنتابني حول فندق الدولفين، كانت هي أول ما يَرِدُ على خاطري، كانت تبحث عني، وإلا فلماذا يظهر لي الحلم نفسه المرة تلو المرة؟...

بين الفانتازيا التي تعبّر عن الواقع الإفتراضي، والحياة الواقعية المعاشة، يسير موراكامي في هذه الرواية، إنها حياة المجتمع الرأسمالي الحديث، حياة البحث عن الصداقة والحب والطعام، والحاجات الإستهلاكية التي تتنامى، وأيضاً حياة الفرديّة والتمزّق والعزلة، حياة والدَيْ هاكوني: الأم مصوّرة محترفة، فنانة مشهورة، تترك ابنتها وحدها، وهمّها السفر إلى أماكن التصوير... وإلى عشّاقها... ووالد ثري يعش في عالم آخر ويسعده أن يجد شخصاً يهتم بإبنته، فيمنحه ليس فقط ما يريده، بل ما قد يشتهيه.

في خلفية هذه الرواية هناك دائماً الرجل المقَنَّع، مالك الحكمة وحافظ تاريخ تحولات البشر، هذا الرجل يكرّر لبطل الرواية: يجب أن ترقص... ارقص... معبراً بذلك عن نمط الحياة المعاصرة.]]>

A Tale for the Time Being 15811545
Across the Pacific, we meet Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island who discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox—possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami. As the mystery of its contents unfolds, Ruth is pulled into the past, into Nao's drama and her unknown fate, and forward into her own future.

Full of Ozeki's signature humour and deeply engaged with the relationship between writer and reader, past and present, fact and fiction, quantum physics, history, and myth, A Tale for the Time Being is a brilliantly inventive, beguiling story of our shared humanity and the search for home.]]>

Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others.

Ismae’s most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany—where she finds herself woefully under prepared—not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?]]>

If leaving his parents and erasing his past life isn't tough enough, Nathaniel's master, Arthur Underwood, is a cold, condescending, and cruel middle-ranking magician in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The boy's only saving grace is the master's wife, Martha Underwood, who shows him genuine affection that he rewards with fierce devotion. Nathaniel gets along tolerably well over the years in the Underwood household until the summer before his eleventh birthday. Everything changes when he is publicly humiliated by the ruthless magician Simon Lovelace and betrayed by his cowardly master who does not defend him.

Nathaniel vows revenge. In a Faustian fever, he devours magical texts and hones his magic skills, all the while trying to appear subservient to his master. When he musters the strength to summon the 5,000-year-old djinni Bartimaeus to avenge Lovelace by stealing the powerful Amulet of Samarkand, the boy magician plunges into a situation more dangerous and deadly than anything he could ever imagine.]]>

To Kill a Mockingbird 2657 "Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.

"To Kill A Mockingbird" became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film.]]>

In a land on the brink of war, Shahrzad is forced from the arms of her beloved husband, the Caliph of Khorasan. She once thought Khalid a monster—a merciless killer of wives, responsible for immeasurable heartache and pain—but as she unraveled his secrets, she found instead an extraordinary man and a love she could not deny. Still, a curse threatens to keep Shazi and Khalid apart forever.

Now she’s reunited with her family, who have found refuge in the desert, where a deadly force is gathering against Khalid—a force set on destroying his empire and commanded by Shazi’s spurned childhood sweetheart. Trapped between loyalties to those she loves, the only thing Shazi can do is act. Using the burgeoning magic within her as a guide, she strikes out on her own to end both this terrible curse and the brewing war once and for all. But to do it, she must evade enemies of her own to stay alive.

The saga that began with The Wrath and the Dawn takes its final turn as Shahrzad risks everything to find her way back to her one true love again.]]>

<![CDATA[First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson, #1)]]> 8788554 This whole grim reaper thing should have come with a manual.
Or a diagram of some kind.
A flow chart would have been nice.

Charley Davidson is a part-time private investigator and full-time grim reaper. Meaning, she sees dead people. Really. And it's her job to convince them to "go into the light." But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (like murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she's been having about an entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely. But what does he want with Charley? And why can't she seem to resist him? And what does she have to lose by giving in?

With scorching-hot tension and high-octane humor, First Grave on the Right is your signpost to paranormal suspense of the highest order.

Since he was five years old he’s been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever.

What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? What exactly did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving?

The answers await in Weep, but so do more mysteries—including the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo’s dreams. How did he dream her before he knew she existed? And if all the gods are dead, why does she seem so real?

Uprooted 22544764 “Our Dragon doesn’t eat the girls he takes, no matter what stories they tell outside our valley. We hear them sometimes, from travelers passing through. They talk as though we were doing human sacrifice, and he were a real dragon. Of course that’s not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he’s still a man, and our fathers would band together and kill him if he wanted to eat one of us every ten years. He protects us against the Wood, and we’re grateful, but not that grateful.�

Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life.

Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood.

The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows�everyone knows—that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn’t, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her.

But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.]]>

The Last Animal 17465720 The Last Animal by Abby Geni is that rare literary find � a remarkable series of stories unified around one theme: people who use the interface between the human and the natural world to contend with their modern challenges in love, loss, and family life. These are vibrant, weighty stories that herald the arrival of a young writer of surprising feeling and depth.

“Terror Birds� tracks the dissolution of a marriage set against an ostrich farm in the sweltering Arizona desert; “Dharma at the Gate� features the tempest of young love as a teenaged girl must choose between man’s best friend, her damaged boyfriend, and a beckoning future; “Captivity� follows an octopus handler at an aquarium still haunted by the disappearance of her brother years ago; “The Girls of Apache Bryn Mawr� details a Greek chorus of Jewish girls at a summer camp whose favorite counselor goes missing under suspicious circumstances; “In the Spirit Room� centers on a scientist suffering the heartbreaking loss of a parent from Alzheimer’s while living in the natural history museum where they both worked; in “Fire Blight� a father grieving over his wife’s recent miscarriage finds an outlet for comfort in their backyard garden and makes a surprising discovery on how to cherish living things; and in the title story, a retired woman traces the steps of the husband who left her thirty years ago, burning the letters he had sent along the way, while the luminous and exotic wildlife of the Pacific Ocean opens up to receive her.

Unflinching, exciting, ambitious and yet heartfelt, The Last Animal will guide readers through a menagerie of settings and landscapes as it underscores the connection among all living things.

<![CDATA[The Wrath and the Dawn (The Wrath and the Dawn, #1)]]> 18798983 One Life to One Dawn.

In a land ruled by a murderous boy-king, each dawn brings heartache to a new family. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, is a monster. Each night he takes a new bride only to have a silk cord wrapped around her throat come morning. When sixteen-year-old Shahrzad's dearest friend falls victim to Khalid, Shahrzad vows vengeance and volunteers to be his next bride. Shahrzad is determined not only to stay alive, but to end the caliph's reign of terror once and for all.

Night after night, Shahrzad beguiles Khalid, weaving stories that enchant, ensuring her survival, though she knows each dawn could be her last. But something she never expected begins to happen: Khalid is nothing like what she'd imagined him to be. This monster is a boy with a tormented heart. Incredibly, Shahrzad finds herself falling in love. How is this possible? It's an unforgivable betrayal. Still, Shahrzad has come to understand all is not as it seems in this palace of marble and stone. She resolves to uncover whatever secrets lurk and, despite her love, be ready to take Khalid's life as retribution for the many lives he's stolen. Can their love survive this world of stories and secrets?]]>
