Manny aprovecha el amor, la determinación y una visita a la biblioteca para cuidar de su primera planta y hacer que su padre se sienta orgulloso de él. Manny viene de una familia de jardineros, y para él, el mejor jardinero de todos es su papá. Papá siempre sabe lo que las plantas necesitan. Aún sin un jardín donde cultivar, convierte su pequeño apartamento en una exuberante jungla. Un día, llega el momento de que Manny tenga su primera planta. Papá confía en él para cuidar a su nueva amiga, y Manny está seguro de estar a la altura del desafío. Pero observar el trabajo magistral de papá no es lo mismo que saber todo lo que él sabe, ¡y la amiga de Manny sigue marchitándose, aún con todo lo que él intenta! Papá sabría qué hacer, pero esta es la planta de Manny, y él quiere ser el que la salve. Afortunadamente, antes de su nueva amiga, Manny tenía otra amiga: ¡la biblioteca! Un día de investigación y varios libros lo encaminan de nuevo en poco tiempo. La planta de Manny crece cada vez más, hasta que su habitación se llena de hojas hermosas y saludables, suficientes para que papá comparta esquejes con todo el vecindario. Ahora Manny puede decir con orgullo que es el más joven de una larga línea de jardineros. Matthew Rivera, ilustrador de larga trayectoria, hace su debut como autor con una linda historia que alegrará el corazón de todos los amantes de la jardinería. Cualquier niño que tiene a un adulto como modelo a seguir se deleitará con el éxito de Manny y su entusiasmo por el ensayo y error.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONManny harnesses love, determination, and a visit to the library to care for his first plant and make his gardener father proud. Manny comes from a long line of gardeners, and to him, the greatest gardener of all is his dad. Dad always knows what plants need. Even with no yard to garden in, he tends their small apartment into a lush jungle. One day, the time comes for Manny to get his very own first plant! Dad trusts Manny to care for his new amigo, and Manny is determined to rise to the challenge. But watching Dad’s masterful work isn’t the same as knowing everything he knows, and Manny’s amigo keeps wilting, no matter what he tries! Dad would know what to do, but this is Manny’s plant, and he wants to be the one to save it. Luckily, before his new amigo, Manny had another friend: the library! A day of research and a stack of books gets him back on track in no time. Manny’s plant grows bigger and bigger, until his room overflows with beautiful, healthy leaves, plentiful enough for Dad to share cuttings with the whole neighborhood. Now Manny can proudly say that he is the youngest in a long line of gardeners. Longtime illustrator Matthew Rivera makes his authorial debut with a story that will warm every green-thumbed heart. Any child with an older role model whose shoes they dream of growing into will delight in Manny’s success and his zest for independent trial-and-error.
Un recorrido por todas las eras de Taylor que demuestra por qué es imposible no amarla; para guardar por siempre como el mejor de los recuerdos.Este libro no pretende ser una biografía detallada de Taylor Swift, tampoco un resumen de los innumerables premios que recibió ni un recuento de sus historias de amor, porque su vida está plasmada en las letras de sus canciones, pero sí tiene la intención de ser un recordatorio de los pasos que dio para cumplir sus sueños hasta convertirse en ícono, reina y heroína de millones de fans alrededor del mundo.En este recorrido quedará demostrado por qué es imposible no amarla. Solo hay que mencionar el enorme talento que tiene para que sus letras describan a la perfección cada sentimiento y situación que cualquiera puede transitar en la vida, y a pesar del lugar que ocupa hoy y de todo lo que debió enfrentar, sigue conservando la misma sencillez, la humildad, el cuidado por los detalles, la conexión con su público, y el inmenso amor y agradecimiento hacia sus fans que aquella chica de 16 años que logró grabar su primer disco. Como un pequeño baúl de los recuerdos al cual recurrir, este es un espacio donde encontrar un refugio para sortear los días lluviosos y acrecentar la chispa que impulsa a disfrutar de la música para construir momentos mejores. Tal como ella dijo, en la vida hay cosas que se deben soltar y dejar ir, y otras que son para cuidar y conservar. Ojalá estas páginas sean para guardar siempre en un rincón del corazón.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA journey through all of Taylor’s eras to prove why it is impossible not to love her. And you can keep it forever as the best of memories. This book is not intended as a detailed biography of Taylor Swift, nor as a summary of the countless awards she has received, or an account of her love stories, since her life is embedded in her lyrics. But it is meant as a reminder of the steps she took to fulfill her dreams until becoming icon, queen, and hero to millions of fans across the globe. This journey proves why it is impossible not to love her. One has but to mention her enormous talent to make her lyrics describe perfectly every feeling and any situation one can go through in life. And regardless of where she is today and everything she has had to face, Taylor still shows the same simplicity, humility, attention to detail, connection with her audience, and immense love and gratitude for her fans that she had at sixteen, when she recorded her first album. As a small memory chest that you can turn to, this is a space to find shelter in rainy days and feed the spark pushing you to enjoy music and create better moments. Just as Taylor said, in life there are things you should let go and others you must care for and keep. Hopefully, you will keep these pages forever in a corner of your heart.

El Cártel Judicial puede ser tan letal como el más violento de los grupos delictivos; una sentencia a modo -infundada, a la ligera, sin elementos de prueba, con pruebas viciadas o para satisfacer intereses personales- puede llegar a ser peor que la muerte. Al más puro estilo de las organizaciones criminales, como si se tratara de un cártel, así opera el Poder Judicial en México. No es fortuito. Pareciera que este órgano ha sido secuestrado y convertido en una cofradía de letrados, hombres y mujeres, que se olvidaron de la más alta encomienda de impartición de justicia. J. Jesús Lemus usa el argot criminal como analogía para entender este nivel de gobierno como un poder fallido, pues en términos generales, nos dice el autor, hoy opera como si se tratara de una organización criminal más, como una de las tantas que perviven en México. Solo que esta "organización" no opera desde la clandestinidad. En lo que Lemus denomina el Cártel Judicial se cambiaron las casas de seguridad por juzgados, los centros clandestinos de mando por lujosas oficinas, los uniformes de faena, armas y carrilleras por togas, jurisprudencias y amparos, y todos los juzgadores caminan empoderados, intocables, sin ser molestados o cuestionados por la opinión pública. El Cártel Judicial es una investigación periodística de largo alcance que pretende exponer de cuerpo completo los vicios enquistados dentro del Poder Judicial. Aquí hay nombres y datos precisos, casos detallados, eventos judiciales particulares que pretenden contribuir a la exposición de las causas que hacen evidente y urgente la necesidad de una reforma constitucional que modifique la estructura actual de este poder y garantice la supresión de los jueces-dioses que hoy tenemos: poderosos, inalcanzables, antidemocráticos y oscuros.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe Judicial Cartel can be as lethal as the most violent criminal groups. A sentence—groundless, given lightly, without any proof, with tainted evidence, or to satisfy personal interests—can be worse than death. In the purest style of criminal organizations, Mexico’s Judicial Power operates as if it were a cartel. It is not fortuitous. It would seem this branch has been overrun and turned into a guild of lawyers, both men and women, neglecting the highest duty of imparting justice. J. Jesús Lemus uses criminal slang as analogy to understand this branch of the government as a failing power, since generally speaking, states the author, it operates as if it were just another criminal organization, one of many that thrive in Mexico. Only that this particular “organization” does not operate underground. In what Lemus calls the Judicial Cartel, drop houses are replaced by courtrooms; clandestine command centers are now luxurious offices; work clothes, guns, and chinstraps are traded for robes, jurisprudence, and injunctions, and every judge walks empowered, untouchable, unbothered or questioned by public opinion. Judicial Cartel stems from wide-raging investigative journalism aiming to expose the full length of the Judicial Power’s ingrown vices. Here you will find names and accurate information, detailed cases, particular judiciary events that intend to contribute in the exposition of the very reasons that make the need for a constitutional reform obvious and urgent, one that modifies the current structure of power and guarantees a full suppression of these judge-gods we have today: powerful, unreachable, antidemocratic, and dark.
The lives of Gloria Felipe and Nuria Valencia intertwine around the kidnapping of a little girl that shocked the Mexican capital in the 1940s. By means of a narrator that (in her own words) "can flex her writing muscles quite well," we witness the Miranda-Felipe's battle to get the youngest of their clan back, and the distressing upbringing within the Fernandez-Valencia family to save their own little girl from a potential danger which the police hasn't been able to stop and the media reports with the tone of a thriller. Pierced by different water images--in the form of rain, sea, breeze, pond, or puddle--that reflect the mood of the characters, Dream as Trees Do offers a critical overview of the mandates of motherhood, but also shows the possibilities of rebellion and self-determination that mid-century women brought forth for us. Brenda Lozano's clever and sharp sense of humor makes it impossible to put the book down until you've turned the very last page.
¿Quién se anima a mirar a los ojos a sus propias vulnerabilidades? Conocer los problemas de otros, sus contradicciones y dualidades, a veces resulta la forma más adecuada para abordar con compasión y fortaleza a nuestros propios fantasmas. Con talento y mirada sensible, Juan Tonelli reúne historias extraordinarias de gente común para retratar y explorar distintos aspectos y tensiones de nuestra vida cotidiana, recorriendo temas como el miedo, las contradicciones, el dolor, los traumas y carencias que nos condicionan, y todo eso que sentimos y no podemos expresar. La mayoría de estas historias están escritas en primera persona, tal como fueron relatadas por sus protagonistas: seres lastimados, fantasiosos, aterrorizados, a veces delirantes, que nos permiten reflejarnos como en un espejo y mirar eso que nos ocupa tanto espacio, pero no nos animamos a enfrentar. «Comprendí que el tema no eran las dificultades en sí —que todos tenemos y son similares—, sino ser incapaces de abordarlas porque duelen.» Juan Tonelli «Un elefante en la habitación nos garantiza instantes de encuentro con nosotros mismos. Por eso vale la pena. » Laura GutmanENGLISH DESCRIPTIONDo you dare come to face to face with your own vulnerabilities? Analyzing other people’s problems, their contradictions and dualities, can be the best way to take on your own ghosts from a position of strength and compassion. Juan Tonelli has a talent for empathy, as evident in these extraordinary stories of ordinary people exploring different aspects and tensions in our daily lives. Their stories illustrate the fears, contradictions, pain, trauma and absences that condition us and give rise to deep-seated feelings we are unable to express. Most of the accounts are written in the first person, as they were told by their protagonists: hurt, frightened, whimsical or deluded individuals who serve as mirror for our own souls and the baggage that takes up so much space inside them, but that we’re never brave enough to clear out. “I understood that the real issue wasn’t the problems themselves – we all have them, and they tend to be similar – but rather our inability to face them because they are painful.” – Juan Tonelli. “An Elephant in the Room guarantees instants of self-knowledge. That’s why it’s so worthwhile.” – Laura Gutman
La primera novela de Rainbow Rowell, autora de Eleanor & Park. Una historia emotiva, mágica e ingeniosa sobre lo que significa el amor, con unos personajes que llegan directamente al corazón. «Hola, soy el tío que lee tus mensajes y, por cierto, me he enamorado de ti...» Beth y Jennifer trabajan en el departamento de redacción de un periódico. Son inteligentes, divertidas y muy buenas amigas, y suelen escribirse correos en los que discuten aspectos de sus vidas personales, pero lo que no saben es que un compañero de trabajo también los está leyendo. Lincoln O'Neill es el tipo que lee los correos. Ese es su trabajo en la empresa. Debería haberlas advertido la primera vez que transgredieron las normas, pero las dos parecen tan majas... Le gustan, le gustan mucho, sobre todo Beth. ¿Podrías enamorarte de alguien a quien no has visto nunca?ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"Attachments is so perfectly engaging, so sly, and so funny I read it all in one sitting, then went back and read my favorite scenes a second time.... I hope Rowell never stops writing." (Haven Kimmel) Beth and Jennifer know their company monitors their office email. But the women still spend all day sending each other messages, gossiping about their coworkers at the newspaper and baring their personal lives like an open book. Jennifer tells Beth everything she can't seem to tell her husband about her anxieties over starting a family. And Beth tells Jennifer everything, period. When Lincoln applied to be an internet security officer, he hardly imagined he'd be sifting through other people's inboxes like some sort of electronic Peeping Tom. Lincoln is supposed to turn people in for misusing company email, but he can't quite bring himself to crack down on Beth and Jennifer. He can't help but be entertained - and captivated - by their stories. But by the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late for him to ever introduce himself. What would he say to her? "Hi, I'm the guy who reads your email, and also, I love you." After a series of close encounters and missed connections, Lincoln decides it's time to muster the courage to follow his heart...even if he can't see exactly where it's leading him. Written with whip-smart precision and charm, Attachments is a strikingly clever and deeply romantic debut about falling in love with the person who makes you feel like the best version of yourself. Even if it's someone you've never met.
Besos ardientes en la penumbra, evocaciones marinas para nombrar el deseo, caricias que juegan con el alcohol, la sensualidad, lo prohibido; cuerpos femeninos que revientan como una fruta caliente y exuberante. Las estampas de este libro intenso nos transportan a un amor de mujer a mujer decorado por la ternura y lo terrible; las autoras congregadas no sólo confiesan el asombro y las caricias de la pasión lésbica, también abundan sobre detalles trágicos y misteriosos, giros narrativos donde el embeleso se malogra o las ilusiones de pronto se hunden en lechos de tristeza, angustia, perdición. Hasta que comienza a brillar es una obra única por su riqueza literaria y sus misterios develados, ofrecen sus secretos femmes fatales, muchachas que ahogan sus voluptuosidades, defensoras del amor libre o niñas terribles que provocan fiebres eróticas o derrumbes emocionales mortales. Artemisa Téllez se dio a la tarea de reunir comportamientos desbordados, escenas íntimas de arrebato y atrevimiento descriptivo, ilusiones perdidas y sucesos donde el amor lésbico estruja, somete y se vuelve piel acariciada por los recuerdos, boca que nombra la intimidad de la amada, un gemido de sueños enlazados por un libro de pasiones inolvidables.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONPassionate kisses by candlelight, marine recreations to name desire, caresses that play with sensuality, with alcohol, and the forbidden; female bodies bursting open like a hot and exuberant fruit. The scenes in this intense book transport us to a love between women adorned with tenderness and the terrible; the authors gathered here not only confess the wonder and caresses of lesbian passion but also elaborate on tragic and mysterious details, narrative twists where enchantment goes awry, and illusions suddenly sink into beds of sadness, anguish, and ruin. Until it Begins to Shine is a unique work for its literary richness and its unveiled mysteries. They offer their femmes fatales secrets, girls who drown their voluptuousness, defenders of free love, and terrible girls who provoke erotic fervors or deadly emotional collapses. Artemisa Téllez undertook the task of gathering unrestrained behaviors, intimate scenes of passion and daring description, lost illusions, and events where lesbian love squeezes, subdues, and becomes skin caressed by memories—a mouth that names the intimacy of the beloved, a moan of dreams intertwined by a book of unforgettable passions.
La historia de la izquierda en México es la historia de dos corrientes: la que proviene de la Revolución mexicana y la que ha buscado deslindarse de ella y de los gobiernos que de ella emanaron. En una de las naciones más desiguales del planeta, la lucha por abatir la injusticia ha moldeado su historia, sus instituciones, su carácter y, por ello, su esencia misma.Este libro relata la historia de aquellos que han entregado su vida para construir un México menos injusto.Pero también cuenta la historia de sus contradicciones y errores, de sus carencias y pugnas fratricidas, e incluso la de aquellos que la han traicionado, aprovechado, y que han fracturado al país en su empeño.Sin maniqueísmos, Jorge Castañeda y Joel Ortega nos cuentan una perspectiva nueva desde la que leer y entender el combate de tantos mexicanos por una vida menos vieja, menos injusta, más luminosa…«Por izquierda entendemos aquellas posiciones políticas e ideológicas —de personas, agrupaciones, partidos, sindicatos, universidades, publicaciones, gobiernos extranjeros— que se han empeñado a lo largo del último siglo y medio en México por cambiar el estado de cosas vigente hacia otro, menos desigual, más próspero, más nacionalista, más solidario, más democrático…» –De la IntroducciónENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe history of the left-wing party in Mexico is one of two opposing currents: one that comes from the Mexican Revolution and another that has sought to distance itself from it and from any government that emerged from it. In one of the nations with the most inequality on the planet, the struggle to overcome injustice has shaped its history, its institutions, its character, and, therefore, its very essence. This book tells the story of those who have dedicated their lives to building a Mexico with less injustice. But it also tells the story of their contradictions, mistakes, their shortcomings, and internal struggles, and even the stories of those who have betrayed it, taken advantage of it, and fractured the country while doing so. Without Manichaeism, Jorge Castañeda and Joel Ortega present a new perspective from which to read and understand the struggle of so many Mexicans for a newer, less unjust, brighter life... “By “left”, we mean those political and ideological positions—by individuals, groups, political parties, unions, universities, publications, foreign governments—that have, over the past century and a half in Mexico, committed themselves to changing the prevailing state of affairs towards a new, more equal, more prosperous, more nationalist, more solidarity-based, more democratic...” –From the Introduction"
Itself written as a novelization of a 1983 film (script by the same author), this novel is the basis of the film Il Postino (The Postman), and of an opera of the same name.
When the class pet bites the finger of Penelope, a tyrannosaurus rex, she finally understands why she should not eat her classmates, no matter how tasty they are.
LA MEJOR MANERA DE LLEGAR A TUS METAS DE SALUD NO ES HACER DIETAS, ES CREAR HÁBITOS DURADEROS. ¿Cuántas veces has probado alguna dieta y fallado en el intento de llegar a tus metas? ¿Cuántas dietas has hecho “exitosamente” por unos meses para después rebotar y regresar a tu peso inicial (o incluso a uno mayor)? La simple idea de “estar a dieta” es un concepto restrictivo y no es sostenible a largo plazo. De la mano de Nicolás Mier y Terán, nutriólogo especializado en obesidad y sobrepeso con más de 15 años de experiencia, aprenderás a desengancharte de una vez por todas de las conductas tóxicas que evitan que logres lo que deseas y a crear hábitos duraderos y sencillos para, al fin, alcanzar la mejor versión de ti mismo. En este libro aprenderás a: • Dejar atrás las dietas de moda y concentrarte en crear hábitos y conductas que te lleven a una vida más saludable. • Comer de todo, aprendiendo el orden y proporciones correctas para poder disfrutar tu vida diaria sin culpa ni restricciones. • Olvidarte del sedentarismo, dando pequeños pasos para lograr una vida más activa. • Vivir plenamente, atendiendo todos los aspectos de tu salud, como descanso, ejercicio, relajación y alimentación.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONTHE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE YOUR HEALTH GOALS ISN’T THROUGH DIETS, BUT BY CREATING LASTING HABITS. How many times have you tried a new diet without getting the results you want? How many times have you dieted “successfully” for a few months, only to gain back all the weight later? The very idea of “being on a diet” is a restrictive concept and unsustainable in the long term. Here, Nicolás Mier y Terán, a nutritionist with more than 15 years of working with obese and overweight patients, teaches how to end the toxic behaviors that stand in the way of your goals and make simple but lasting changes that allow you to become the best version of yourself. In this book, you’ll learn to: • Say goodbye to fad diets and focus on habits and behaviors that lead to a more healthful life. • Eat all kinds of food in the right order and portions, so you can enjoy meals without guilt or restrictions. • Stop being sedentary, taking small steps to become more active. • Live life to the fullest by addressing all aspects of your health, including rest, exercise, and relaxation, as well as food.
Amor propio también es trabajar en uno mismo para conseguir actuar de una forma que te haga sentir orgulloso de la persona que eres. Imagínate que pudieras elaborar un manual de cómo quieres ser y de cómo quieres que sea tu relación con los demás. ¿Qué pedirías? Cuando te enojas o sientes emociones que te dificultan actuar racionalmente, reaccionas de manera impulsiva: pierdes los estribos, tomas malas decisiones o dices cosas de las que luego te arrepientes. Sin embargo, hay que parar a veces y preguntarse: «¿Qué haría ahora la persona que quiero ser?». Intentar comportarte acorde con tus valores es una forma de amor propio, pero para conseguirlo es imprescindible conocerte, saber quién quieres ser y actuar de forma consciente. Al fin y al cabo, la persona que mejor te tiene que caer en este mundo eres tú.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONSelf-love also means working on oneself to act in a way that makes you feel proud of the person you are. Imagine that you could create a manual of how you would like to be and how you’d want your relationship with others to be. What would you ask for? When you get angry or have feelings that make it difficult for you to act rationally, you react impulsively: you lose your temper, make bad decisions, or say things you later regret. However, sometimes you have to stop and ask yourself, 'What would the person I want to be do in this situation?' Trying to behave in alignment with your values is a form of self-love, but to achieve this, it is important to know yourself, know who you want to be, and act consciously towards that. After all, the person you have to like the most in this world is yourself.

Un debut fascinante e innovador sobre una adolescente, su impredecible familia y los secretos que guardan. Luciana es la menor de una numerosa familia colombiano-americana en el sur de Florida, pero en medio de una crisis debe convertirse en la única voz razonable de su entorno familiar y lidiar con su excéntrica abuela, que se niega a seguir la orden de evacuación ante la llegada de un huracán. El huracán no es el único peligro. La glamorosa y despreocupada vida de la abuela se verá cimbrada por un grave diagnóstico médico que prefiere ignorar. Para colmo, decide mudarse con Luciana, que tendrá que hacer de cuidadora, traductora y guardar el cada vez menos disimulable secreto de la enfermedad, mientras lucha con sus propios desafíos adolescentes, con una hermana que vive lejos, una madre insensata y, en general, con una familia disfuncional. Estructurada como una serie de conversaciones telefónicas en las que solo escuchamos una de las voces, Oye está llena de referencias pop y de modismos zennials. Disruptiva, inolvidable, a ratos hilarante y a ratos triste, es el retrato de una generación, pero sobre todo el de una joven que, obligada a madurar, descubre en sí misma una fuerza insospechada.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA young woman reckons with her unpredictable family and therevelation of their long-buried history in this wildly inventive debut,which reads like a comic coming-of-age story, a telenovela, and amoving intergenerational saga all rolled into one."Yes, hi, Mari. It’s me. I’m over my tantrum and finally calling you back. But you have to promise that you won’t say anything to Mom or Abue about this, okay? They’ll set the house on fire if they find out... And you said that you weresitting, right? Because this is about to be so much more absurd and dramaticthan you think."Luciana is the baby of her large Colombian American family. And despiteusually being relegated to the sidelines, she now finds herself as the only voice of reason in the middle of their unexpected crisis. Her older sister, Mari, isaway at college and reduced to a mere listening ear on the other end of their many phone calls, so when South Florida residents are ordered to evacuate before a hurricane, it’s up to Luciana to deal with her eccentric grandmother ,Abue, who’s refusing to leave. But the storm isn’t the only danger. Abue, normally glamorous and full of life, is given a crushing medical diagnosis. While she’d prefer to ignore it and focus on upholding her reputation and her looks instead, the news sets Abue on her own personal journey, with Luciana reluctantly along for the ride.As Luciana chronicles the events of her upended senior year over the phone to Mari, Abue moves into her granddaughter’s bedroom and their complicated bond intensifies. Luciana would rather be skating or sneaking out to meet girls,but Abue’s wild demands and unpredictable antics are a welcome distraction from Luciana’s misguided mother, absent sister, and uncertain future. Forced to step into the role of caretaker, translator, and keeper of the devastating secrets that Abue begins to share, Luciana suddenly finds herself center stage, facing down adulthood—and rising to the occasion.Structured as a series of one-sided phone calls, Oye feels like the most captivating conversation you’ve ever eavesdropped on: a rollicking, heartfelt,and utterly unique novel by an author as original as she is insightful.

Reglas de casa: •Lava los platos. •Llama a la puerta antes de entrar al baño. •No busques nunca a tu roomie en internet. Los Wheaton tienen mala fama entre la élite de la costa este por sus continuos escándalos, salvo su hija Clara. Ella es el estereotipo perfecto de la alta sociedad: destaca académicamente, es educada y predecible. Pero cuando el chico del que está enamorada desde la infancia la invita a mudarse a la otra punta del país, no duda en aceptar, pues la oferta es demasiado buena para resistirse. Sin embargo, por desgracia, también es demasiado buena para ser verdad. Ahora, Clara se encuentra compartiendo un departamento con un desconocido cautivador. Con sus rizos rubios y un sentido del humor irresistible, tal vez Josh sea un poco demasiado atractivo para la tranquilidad de Clara, pero probablemente habrían sobrevivido al verano si ella no lo hubiera buscado en internet… En cuanto se entera de la manera en que Josh se ha hecho famoso, Clara se da cuenta de que vivir con él puede ser el detonante de la historia más escandalosa que hayan tenido los Wheaton.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"Warmly funny and gorgeously sexy."—New York Times Book Review A LibraryReads Pick House Rules: Do your own dishes Knock before entering the bathroom Never look up your roommate online The Wheatons are infamous among the east coast elite for their lack of impulse control, except for their daughter Clara. She’s the consummate socialite: over-achieving, well-mannered, predictable. But every Wheaton has their weakness. When Clara’s childhood crush invites her to move cross-country, the offer is too tempting to resist. Unfortunately, it’s also too good to be true. After a bait-and-switch, Clara finds herself sharing a lease with a charming stranger. Josh might be a bit too perceptive—not to mention handsome—for comfort, but there’s a good chance he and Clara could have survived sharing a summer sublet if she hadn’t looked him up on the Internet... Once she learns how Josh has made a name for himself, Clara realizes living with him might make her the Wheaton’s most scandalous story yet. His professional prowess inspires her to take tackling the stigma against female desire into her own hands. They may not agree on much, but Josh and Clara both believe women deserve better sex. What they decide to do about it will change both of their lives, and if they’re lucky, they’ll help everyone else get lucky too.
Since the beginning of time, people have always protected the little ones. We see them as fragile beings that need all our care. But what about the tall ones? Who takes care of them? Don't tall people have feelings too? At the age of ten, Diana, a skateboard-loving girl, makes the most important decision of her life: she will no longer stand on her two feet and will only move with the help of a wheelchair.
"Denise Dresser presents an urgent and necessary reading: Lâopez Obrador seduced millions with his promise to safeguard democracy and be an antidote to Mexico's political and social regression. Today the distance between that hope and reality is unbridgeable. AMLO has eroded, with words and deeds, the deficient institutions, replacing it with a government exercise centered only on him, surrounded by olive green. By improvisation, by haste, and by mismanagement, he will inherit time bombs to his successor. This book is a manual for exercising brave and lucid citizenship in the face of the authoritarianism of AMLO and any new Tlatoani to come. It contains recommendations to resist, to rebuild and to build possible and sustainable futures. You cannot govern for "the people" with undemocratic and abusive methods. Don't be seduced. Don't let yourself be bought. Don't let them stop you from being accountable or try to avoid transparency. Do not become complicit in the dispossession and the taking of your rights. What's Next? The responsibility of ensuring a modern, prosperous and inclusive Mexico is also yours. Exercise your power of control and punishment to rescue the country." --

Después del éxito de Querido yo; Vamos a estar bien, vuelve Alejandro Sequera más especial que nunca.Tocando fondo es una invitación para aprender a nadar: aprender a conocernos y dejar las excusas atrás. Con estas bellas reflexiones, pensamientos y poemas de parte de Jordan —quien te dará la mano para aprender a nadar en el fondo de tus sentimientos —, podrás lidiar con las emociones que intentan controlarte Algunas cosas que nadie te ha dicho podrías encontrarlas en este libro, no sé cómo lo vayas a tomar, pero por favor te prometo que antes de ahogarnos, aprenderemos a nadar. “He hablado mil veces del amor y de lo que me hace sentir, pero creo que nunca te he hablado del miedo que siento cuando estoy dormido y de pronto tengo esos sueños donde me encuentro en el agua, no sé qué tan profundo es, pero ahí despierto y no dejo de pensar por qué, por qué me pasan a mí algunas cosas y a los demás no. O por qué será que cuando despierto quedo con una sensación en la que deseo que me abracen, pero no hay nadie. Quiero que nos vayamos a lo más profundo de nuestro ser, hablemos de esas cosas que con nadie hemos podido hablar, toquemos fondo sobre aquellas verdades que incomodan y, sobre todo, aprendamos a lidiar con esas emociones que intentan controlarnos y hacernos sentir que estamos haciendo las cosas mal. Toma mi mano y aprendamos a nadar, aprendamos más de nosotros y dejemos las excusas atrás” — Alejandro Sequera PintoENGLISH DESCRIPTIONHitting Rock Bottom is an invitation to learn how to swim, learn to know ourselves, and leave excuses behind. With these beautiful reflections, thoughts, and poems Jordan offers—who will take your hand to learn how to swim at the bottom of your feelings—you will be able to deal with those emotions that try to control you. In this book you may find some things no one has told you before. I do not know how you will take them, but please, I promise that we will learn to swim before we drown. “I have spoken a thousand times about love and what it makes me feel, but I believe I have never spoken of the fear I feel when I am asleep and suddenly dream those dreams where I am under water, I don’t know how deep. But that is when I wake up and can’t stop thinking why, why do certain things happen to me and not to others? Or why is it that, when I wake up, I am left with this feeling, wanting to be embraced, but there is no one? “I want us to go to the deepest parts of our beings and speak of those things we haven’t been able to share with others. Let us hit rock bottom regarding those uncomfortable truths, and above all, let us learn to deal with those emotions that try to control us and make us feel we are doing things wrong. “Take my hand. Let’s learn how to swim. Let’s learn more about ourselves and leave excuses behind.” —Alejandro Sequera Pinto
After her outstanding debut novel, Variations on the Body, Maria Ospina Pizano returns with a novel that is both animals and movement: a migratory scarlet tanager struggles with forced detours caused by buildings and city lights, an orphaned porcupine is fed human milk, two dogs take refuge together after being abandoned, and a beetle that has just come out of the earth gets lost.

"Petra Luna is in America, having escaped the Mexican Revolution and the terror of the Federales. Now that they are safe, Petra and her family can begin again, in this country that promises so much. Still, twelve-year-old Petra knows that her abuelita, little sister, and baby brother depend on her to survive. She leads her family from a smallpox-stricken refugee camp on the Texas border to the buzzing city of San Antonio, where they work hard to build a new life. And for the first time ever, Petra has a chance to learn to read and write. Yet Petra also sees in America attitudes she thought she'd left behind on the other side of the Rio Grande--people who look down on her mestizo skin and bare feet, who think someone like her doesn't deserve more from life. Petra wants more. Isn't that what the revolution is about? Her strength and courage will be tested like never before as she fights for herself, her family, and her dreams"--

"2 CHILDREN FOR SALE. The sign is a last resort. It sits on a farmhouse porch in 1931, but could be found anywhere in an era of breadlines, bank runs and broken dreams. It could have been written by any mother facing impossible choices. For struggling reporter Ellis Reed, the gut-wrenching scene evokes memories of his family's dark past. He snaps a photograph of the children, not meant for publication. But when it leads to his big break, the consequences are more devastating than he ever imagined"--
Si has elegido este libro, es probable que sientas confusión con respecto a la forma de experimentar el amor en la actualidad. En una era donde las redes sociales y la inteligencia artificial nos ofrecen infinidad de nuevas oportunidades, en el amor experimentamos múltiples incertidumbres y sinsabores. La forma de vivir hoy las relaciones de pareja y, por tanto, la sexualidad, el afecto y el erotismo se caracterizan por acuerdos que tienden a ser cada vez más flexibles, por necesidades a veces incompatibles y por deseos eróticos diversos. Esto nos ha traído, como es lógico, contradicciones y dificultades que no siempre son resultado de factores personales, pero que, si no las sabemos navegar, sí pueden convertirse en errores de elección o fracasos en la comunicación con aquellos que más amamos. Navegando la incertidumbre amorosa te ayudará a despojarte de todos esos conceptos rígidos, anacrónicos y románticos sobre el amor de pareja; a saber, lo que quieres y hacia dónde vas, antes de preguntar qué somos y a dónde vamos; a cuestionar falsas expectativas de felicidad e igualdad en tu relación; y a reconocer que tus fallas son sólo el principio para construir una relación amorosa que te aporte paz, crecimiento y bienestar.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIf you picked up this book, you probably feel confused regarding the way you experience love today. In a time when social media and artificial intelligence offer endless new opportunities, we know plenty of uncertainty and heartbreak. The way we experience relationships and, therefore, sexuality, affection, and eroticism nowadays, is characterized by agreements that tend to be more and more flexible because of what are, at times, conflicting needs, and a variety of erotic desires. Logically, this has brought us contradictions and difficulties that aren’t always consequence of personal factors; but if we do not know how to navigate them, they can turn into poor choices or a failed communication with those we love the most. Navigating Romantic Uncertainty will help you get rid of all those rigid, anachronic, and romantic conceptions regarding love within relationships. It will help you know what you want and where you are going, before asking what we are and where we are headed. It will help you question false expectations regarding happiness and equality in your relationship, and acknowledge that your failures are just the beginning to build an amorous relationship that grants you peace, growth, and well-being.
