Graeme Simsion

'Marvellous' John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
'Adorable... A gem of a book' Marian Keyes

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a story about love, life and lobsters...

Meet Don Tillman.
Don is getting married.
He just doesn't know who to yet.
But he has designed a very detailed questionnaire to help him find the perfect woman.
One thing he already knows, though, is that it's not Rosie.
Absolutely, completely, definitely not.

Telling the story of Rosie and Don, Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project is an international phenomenon, sold in over thirty countries - and counting.

Don Tillman is a socially challenged genetics professor who's decided the time has come to find a wife. His questionnaire is intended to weed out anyone who's unsuitable. The trouble is, Don has rather high standards and doesn't really do flexible so, despite lots of takers - he looks like Gregory Peck - he's not having much success in identifying The One.
When Rosie Jarman comes to his office, Don assumes it's to apply for the Wife Project - and duly discounts her on the grounds she smokes, drinks, doesn't eat meat, and is incapable of punctuality. However, Rosie has no interest in becoming Mrs Tillman and is actually there to enlist Don's assistance in a professional capacity: to help her find her biological father.
Sometimes, though, you don't find love: love finds you...

Like The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a truly distinctive debut. With the charm of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and the romance of David Nicholls' One Day, it's both funny and endearing - and is set to become the feel-good novel of 2013...

Graeme Simsion is a full-time writer. Previously an IT consultant and educator, he wrote his first book in 1994 (the standard reference on data modelling, now entering its fourth edition), and is married to Anne, a professor of psychiatry who writes erotic fiction. They have two children.

No matter how fast you are, no one outruns their past. F9 is the ninth chapter in the Fast & Furious Saga, which has endured for two decades and has earned more than $5 billion around the world. Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he's going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they've ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom's forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena, the upcoming The Suicide Squad). F9 sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth and sixth chapters of the series when it transformed into a global blockbuster. The action hurtles around the globe--from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tbilisi. Along the way, old friends will be resurrected, old foes will return, history will be rewritten, and the true meaning of family will be tested like never before. The film stars returning cast members Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel and Sung Kang, with Oscar® winner Helen Mirren and Oscar® winner Charlize Theron. F9 also features Grammy-winning superstar Cardi B as new franchise character Leysa, a woman with a connection to Dom's past, and a cameo by Reggaeton sensation Ozuna. F9 is produced by Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Joe Roth, Justin Lin, Clayton Townsend and Samantha Vincent.
“One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel.”

A passenger jet is attacked in northern Africa by terrorists wielding RPGs, resulting in an enormous loss of life. Yet U.S. intelligence reports this is merely a distraction, a prelude to a worse terror incident.

A cargo ship is pirated off the African coast, and terrorists are puzzled to find in its vast hold just one mysterious crate. It contains a weapon they do not understand—one of vital interest to Al Qaeda. It is a weapon, we learn, that will inflict catastrophic damage on the United States if not stopped in time.

The weapon disappears deep into the heart of Africa, and as all hope seems lost to retrieve it, Luke Stone is summoned. Forced to cross deserts, to enter jungles, Luke and his team embark on a mad race across Africa, on a suicidal mission: to destroy the weapon before it is too late.

It will keep you entertained for hours, and will satisfy all ages. Recommended for the permanent library of all fantasy readers.” --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos 
This bundle includes the first three books in Morgan Rice’s #1 Bestselling fantasy series THE SORCERER’S RING (A QUEST OF HEROES, A MARCH OF KINGS and A FATE OF DRAGONS).

The series tells the epic tale of the coming of age of Thorgrin, a special 14 year old boy, the least loved of his father, as he strives to become a warrior in the magical Kingdom of the Ring, and as he learns he has powers, and a destiny, he does not understand. An outsider, he must fight for acceptance as he strives to join the King’s elite Legion, and as he falls in love with the king’s 16 year old daughter. Most of all, he must learn who he really is, why his destiny is so important, and why the entire fate of The Ring depends on him.

With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, THE SORCERER’S RING is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.

Er schloss die Haustür auf und ließ sie in einen großzügigen Eingangsbereich mit grauen Fliesen und beigefarbenen Wänden eintreten. Geradeaus erhaschte sie einen kurzen Blick in das Wohnzimmer. Doch Lukas ging an ihr vorbei und versperrte ihr mit seinem Körper die Sicht, als er vor ihr stehen blieb und auf sie hinunter schaute.n»Zieh deine Sachen aus.« Sein Ton war kühl.n»Wie was jetzt gleich?«, fragte sie erschrocken.n»Ich wiederhole mich nicht gern, Baby. Ab sofort wirst du mir gehorchen. Für jede Anweisung, die ich zweimal geben muss, werde ich dich bestrafen. Hast du das verstanden?«nSie schlug die Augen nieder.

Musterbriefe für Härtefälle

Nutzlose Versicherungen, bräsige Vermieter, aufdringliche Chefs ... Es gibt unzählige Anlässe, sich dezidiert schriftlich an Leute und Institutionen zu wenden, bei denen mündlich vorgebrachte gute Worte und höfliche Bitten auf taube Ohren stoßen. Schon das Lesen entsprechender Briefvorlagen sorgt schnell dafür, dass man den Dampf, den man in sich spürt, zu einem Gutteil ablässt - denn man weiß ja, dass man solch einen Brief theoretisch durchaus abschicken könnte. Ob das in jedem Fall deeskalierend oder konstruktiv wirkt, sei dahingestellt, ist aber auch zweitrangig. Und wenn es darum geht, die nutzlosen geschäftlichen/nachbarschaftlichen/beruflichen Beziehungen nachhaltig abzubrechen, ist der grobe Keil eh das Mittel der Wahl.

Die Comedy-Autoren Erik Haffner und David Gromer bieten in dieser sehr unterhaltsamen Sammlung Musterbriefvorlagen für alle Lebenslagen, darunter Briefe

-an den Postboten, der Pakete nicht abliefert, auch wenn du definitiv zu Hause bist

-an die Versicherung, die du kündigen willst, weil sie noch nie etwas gezahlt hat

-an jeden Hersteller, bei dem man was reklamieren will

-an den Vermieter, der sich weigert, deine Bruchbude zu renovieren

-an den Expartner, der nicht kapiert, dass es endgültig vorbei ist

-an die Kollegen, die den Kühlschrank in der Kaffeeküche in ein Biotop verwandeln

-an den Chef, der dir eine Freundschaftsanfrage auf Facebook stellt

-an das Ordnungsamt für jedes ausgestellte Knöllchen

-an das versiffte prollige Fitnessstudio, das man kündigen will

-an die Hinterhofschrauber, die dir drei Mal die Woche Kaufangebote ans Auto heften

-an den Nachbarn, dessen Hund die Nacht durchbellt

-an den Weihnachtsmann mit der Bitte, dir einmal etwas zu schenken, was du nicht tags darauf bei eBay verhökern musst

-an den Mitbewohner, der dir wiederholt den Kühlschrank leerfrisst usw.

Ein pointiertes Ablästern über die unvermeidlichen Mit(un)menschen, die einen umgeben - in Briefform; denn wir sind ja kultiviert!

Mit Witz und Raffinesse gelesen von Annette Frier und Max Giermann
