Stacey is jolted when her friends Simon and Emily get engaged. She knew she was putting her life on hold when she stayed in Willow Creek to care for her sick mother, but it's been years now, and even though Stacey loves spending her summers pouring drinks and flirting with patrons at the local Renaissance Fair, she wants more out of life. Stacey vows to have her life figured out by the time her friends get hitched next summer. Maybe she'll even find The One. When Stacey imagined "The One," it never occurred to her that her summertime Fair fling, Dex MacLean, might fit the bill. While Dex is easy on the eyes onstage with his band The Dueling Kilts, Stacey has never felt an emotional connection with him. So when she receives a tender email from the typically monosyllabic hunk, she's not sure what to make of it. Stacey comes face-to-face with the man with whom she's exchanged hundreds of online messages over the past nine months. To Stacey's shock, it isn't Dex--she's been falling in love with a man she barely knows.

While journeying north toward the Dark Queen, Guinevere falls into the hands of her enemies. Behind her are Lancelot, trapped on the other side of the magical barrier they created to protect Camelot, and Arthur, who has been led away from his kingdom, chasing after false promises. But the greatest danger isn't what lies ahead of Guinevere--it's what's been buried inside her. Vowing to unravel the truth of her past with or without Merlin's help, Guinevere joins forces with the sorceress Morgana and her son, Mordred--and faces the confusing, forbidden feelings she still harbors for him. When Guinevere makes an agonizing discovery about who she is and how she came to be, she finds herself with an impossible choice: fix a terrible crime, or help prevent war. Guinevere is determined to set things right, whatever the cost. To defeat a rising evil. To remake a kingdom. To undo the mistakes of the past...even if it means destroying herself.

In a world bound for an epic flood, only a chosen few are guaranteed safe passage into the new world once the waters recede. The Kostrovian royal court will be saved, of course, along with their guards. But the fate of the court's Royal Flyers, a lauded fleet of aerial silk performers, is less certain. Hell-bent on survival, Principal Flyer, Natasha Koskinen, will do anything to save the flyers, who are the only family she's ever known. Even if "anything" means molding herself into the type of girl who could be courted by Prince Nikolai. But unbeknownst to Natasha, her newest recruit, Ella Neves, is driven less by her desire to survive the floods than her thirst for revenge. And Ella's mission could put everything Natasha has worked for in peril. As the oceans rise, so too does an undeniable spark between the two flyers. With the end of the world looming, and dark secrets about the Kostrovian court coming to light, Ella and Natasha can either give in to despair... or find a new reason to live.

On September 12, 2018 British-Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert was arrested at Tehran Airport by Iran's feared Islamic Revolutionary Guards. Convicted of espionage in a shadowy trial presided over by Iran's most notorious judge, Dr Moore-Gilbert was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Incarcerated in Tehran's Evin and Qarchak prisons for 804 days, this is the full and gripping account of her harrowing ordeal. Held in a filthy solitary confinement cell for months, and subjected to relentless interrogation, Kylie was pushed to the limits of her endurance by extreme physical and psychological deprivation. Kylie's only lifeline was the covert friendships she made with other prisoners inside the Revolutionary Guards' maximum-security compound where she had been 'disappeared', communicating in great danger through the air vents between cells, and by hiding secret letters in hava khori, the narrow outdoor balcony where she was led, blindfolded, for a solitary hour each day. Cut off from the outside world, Kylie realized she alone had the power to change the dynamics of her incarceration. To survive, she began to fight back, adopting a strategy of resistance with her captors. Multiple hunger strikes, letters smuggled to the media, coordinated protests with other prisoners and a daring escape attempt led to her transfer to the isolated desert prison, Qarchak, to live among convicted criminals. On November 25, 2020, after more than two years of struggle, Kylie was finally released in a high-stakes three-nation prisoner swap deal orchestrated by the Australian government, laying bare the complex game of global politics in which she had become a valuable pawn. Written with extraordinary insight and vivid immediacy, The Uncaged Sky is Kylie Moore-Gilbert's remarkable story of courage and resilience, and a powerful meditation on hope, solidarity and what it means to be free.

El libro parte de la hipótesis de que la metafísica occidental nace con una sobredosis, identificada por Platón con la idea del Bien en República 509b, a la que sin embargo intenta conjurar por todos los medios. Por el contrario, la apuesta del libro consiste en extremar la sobredosis ontológica y llevar al Ser a un estado de coma. Tal maniobra teórica, cuyo objetivo último es desfundamentar por completo a lo real, conduce a postular un Afuera absoluto del Ser que no se relativice y que, en consecuencia, no haga depender al Ser de esa Exterioridad radical. * * * "La filosofía, en su extenso devenir histórico, ha manifestado la voluntad de asociar la metafísica con una actitud contemplativa, con el rigorismo especulativo, con una lógica de la asepsia y una geometría de los conceptos delimitados con paciencia en busca de una tranquilidad de espíritu. De hecho, Schopenhauer defendía la idea de que el ser humano es un animal metaphysicum, vale decir, que quiere dotar al mundo de un sentido que, más allá de sus consecuencias, pueda ser alentador para la vida serena. El filósofo Germán Prósperi, en este extraordinario libro, se libra a un camino inverso pues postula que la metafísica occidental no nace de la admiración contemplativa sino de una suerte de sobredosis que implica pensar, por ejemplo, a Platón como adicto al Ser en tanto metanfetamina. Buscar al Bien que se encuentra por encima o más allá del Ser es una apuesta a favor de una escalada extática: lo supra-ontológico es, como no se había advertido hasta ahora, una supra-dosis de Ser que provoca una adicción irremontable. De hecho, esa dependencia ha sido tan potente como para asegurar que la metafísica atraviese los siglos con sus círculos de adictos a las sobredosis del Ser. Los hay en todas las épocas y, por eso mismo, se requiere una nosografía filosófica del más alto rigor que refine la pesquisa: desde el propio Platón hasta el neoplatonismo pasando por Dionisio Areopagita, desde Derrida, Lévinas, Marion o Blanchot hasta la disyuntología espectrológica. Con todo, el libro no se conforma con el diagnóstico de las adicciones de los filósofos, sino que Prósperi actúa cual William Burroughs de la filosofía y la desafía en sus propios términos. Justamente, el escritor norteamericano señalaba que los yonquis daban prueba, en cierto momento, de una falta de energía que los tornaba incapaces de disfrutar de la vida. El lector encontrará, en este libro, un espíritu contrario donde la vida misma se torna adictiva en cada capítulo que se avanza. Pues Prósperi busca utilizar al extremo, precisamente, su fuente de sobredosis: el Ser mismo para ingresar en el tiempo de la Metanfetafísica General donde la metafísica se sobredosifica para desfundamentar al Ser y hacer entrar al pensamiento, en estado de coma, a su encuentro fóbico-fantasmático con lo Otro."

"The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his performance in Juno finally shares his truth. "Can I kiss you?" It was two months before the world premiere of Juno, and Elliot Page was in his first ever queer bar. The hot summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. And then it happened. In front of everyone. A previously unfathomable experience. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans person. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression he'd carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back. With Juno's massive success, Elliot became one of the world's most beloved actors. His dreams were coming true, but the pressure to perform suffocated him. He was forced to play the part of the glossy young starlet, a role that made his skin crawl, on and off set. The career that had been an escape out of his reality and into a world of imagination was suddenly a nightmare. As he navigated criticism and abuse from some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, a past that snapped at his heels, and a society dead set on forcing him into a binary, Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do, until enough was enough. Full of behind the scenes details and intimate interrogations on sex, love, trauma, and Hollywood, Pageboy is the story of a life pushed to the brink. But at its core, this beautifully written, winding journey of what it means to untangle ourselves from the expectations of others is an ode to stepping into who we truly are with defiance, strength, and joy"--]cProvided by publisher.

"One morning, a man wakes up to find himself transformed. Overnight, Anders' skin has turned dark, and the reflection in the mirror seems a stranger to him. At first he shares his secret only with Oona, an old friend turned new lover. Soon, reports of similar events begin to surface. Across the land, people are awakening in new incarnations, uncertain how their neighbors, friends, and family will greet them. Some see the transformations as the long-dreaded overturning of the established order that must be resisted to a bitter end. In many, like Anders' father and Oona's mother, a sense of profound loss and unease wars with profound love. As the bond between Anders and Oona deepens, change takes on a different shading: a chance at a kind of rebirth--an opportunity to see ourselves, face to face, anew." --

The Hematoi descend from the union between gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi (pure blood) have divine powers. The children of a Hematoi and a mortal... well, not so much. The half-bloods have only two options: become disturbing Sentinels that hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the houses of the purebloods. Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it cleaning toilets, but she might as well end up living like the poor. There are several rules that Alliance students must follow. Alex has trouble complying with them, but especially with rule number 1: relationships between pures and halfs are prohibited. Unfortunately, she is in love with Aiden, a handsome pureblood. But falling in love with Aiden isn't her biggest problem: staying alive long enough to graduate from the Alliance and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon and being hunted by Aiden. And that would be awful.

Three weeks is enough to start manifesting abundance and joy. Inspired by the most important works of Louise Hay, spiritual leader and great pioneer of the personal growth movement, The Power of Affirmations presents a direct and simple course that allows us to experience the ability of our words and thoughts to generate positive changes in the fundamental aspects: self-esteem, health, love, money, creativity and more. A total of 21 affirmations, one per day, that will help us heal our own lives and continue advancing on the path of transformation. The power of affirmations to generate a healthy, joyful and constructive existence arises from our conscious decision to free ourselves from negative beliefs at the same time that we plant in the unconscious ideas and thoughts of harmony, health, self-acceptance and love. The moment we build a better relationship with ourselves, says Louise Hay, small miracles begin to manifest themselves on a daily basis.

Children with complex needs--ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, learning disabilities, Tourette syndrome, and others--face a number of common difficulties in some aspects of life and learning. Elaine Taylor-Klaus, expert and mother of three young people with complex needs, has created this essential guide designed to accompany and inspire mothers and fathers who are confused, exhausted or desperate. The great success of this book compared to other works on the subject is due to the fact that the author approaches it from a different place, training adults in the various areas of conflict so that they are the ones who empower their children from the perspective of a coach, with full confidence in their chances of becoming independent and brilliant adults. It is a collaborative model, adaptable to different problems, which offers guidelines for creating new structures and dynamics at home, setting realistic expectations, improving relationships or working on motivation based on self-reflection proposals and action-oriented solutions.
