The perfect couple ... or the perfect lie?

A devoted wife...
A year ago, Gemma met the love of her life, Danny. Since then, their relationship has been perfect. But one evening, Danny doesn’t return home.

A missing husband...
Gemma turns to the police. She is horrified by what she discovers – a serial killer is on the loose in Bristol. When she sees photos of the victims she is even more stunned...they all look just like Danny.

Who would you believe?
But the police are suspicious. Why has no one apart from Gemma heard from Danny in weeks? Why is there barely a trace of him in their flat? Is she telling them the truth, or is this marriage hiding some very dark secrets?

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué pasamos tanta energía y tiempo pensando en los grandes desafíos de nuestras vida cuando toda evidencia comprueba que son realmente los pequeños detalles los que pueden cambiar todo? Así es… absolutamente todo.

Andy Andrews autor best seller del New York Times es conocido por su forma especial de contar historias sobre principios que empoderan la mente y el espíritu humano. Este libro encarna su propio enfoque a la vida y al trabajo, detallando por primera vez material exclusivo que él utiliza para enseñar y capacitar a algunas de las corporaciones más exitosas, equipos e individuos en todo el mundo. En su estilo único y con buen sentido del humor, Andy muestra cómo las personas pueden triunfar al ir en contra del adagio popular «no te fijes en los detalles».

Por contraste Andy prueba que enfocándonos en las cosas más pequeñas es cuando agregamos valor. «En un mundo en el que muchos se sientes impotentes, ¿no sería grandioso sentirse en control?

Entonces considera esto. La perspectiva puede ser más importante que las respuestas básicas». «Estoy más apasionado que nunca por notar eso… tan pequeño, que cuando lo entendamos y aseguremos nos permitirá crear una vida con propósito extraordinario y resultados poderosos. No se trata tanto de determinación y de fuerza de voluntad como de comprender ciertos principios y por qué funcionan… cada vez». Andrews provee una perspectiva de sentido común y un plan de juego para alcanzar diversos desafíos, como:

• Manejar la vida en una sociedad que parece estar contantemente ofendida por algo o alguien

• Crear cambios que son permanentes y a largo plazo

• Incrementar drásticamente los resultados al reducir el margen entre el segundo y el primer lugar

• Comprender nuestra conexión espiritual con Dios y cómo eso afecta la planificación y los resultados

• Identificar el momento preciso en el que preguntar ¿por qué? incrementa el éxito de un plan.

Seven patients. One dark secret.

PHILLIP WALTON HAS BEEN MURDERED.

Jenny Nilsen hasn't seen her former psychiatrist Phillip since she left the Hillside Psychiatric Unit eight years ago. She wanted to forget everything about her time there, so she kept her secrets buried deep. Especially from her new husband.

But now the police are knocking at her door with evidence of her involvement in Phillip's death and everything she's kept hidden is starting to spill out. Jenny desperately needs to speak to old friends, and old enemies, from those dark years at Hillside to clear her name before more of her past is unearthed and her new life is destroyed.

Because they are the only ones who know what really happened at Hillside. About the secret that Phillip kept for them all.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST MURDER.

This “One Hour of Wisdom” edition of Chopra’s classic bestselling book gathers his most powerful pearls of wisdom and distills the essence of his teachings into seven simple steps for creating success in all areas of your life.

Based on natural laws that govern all of creation, this book shatters the myth that success is the result of hard work, exacting plans, or driving ambition.

About the Author

Deepak Chopra is a world-renowned leader in the fields of holistic health and human potential. He is The New York Times bestselling author of numerous books and audio programs that cover every aspect of mind, body, and spirit. His books have been translated into more than 50 languages, and he travels widely throughout the world promoting peace, health, and well-being.

A sharply honest and moving debut perfect for fans of The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Ask the Passengers.

Riley Cavanaugh is many things: Punk rock. Snarky. Rebellious. And gender fluid. Some days Riley identifies as a boy, and others as a girl. But Riley isn't exactly out yet. And between starting a new school and having a congressman father running for reelection in über-conservative Orange County, the pressure—media and otherwise—is building up in Riley's life.

On the advice of a therapist, Riley starts an anonymous blog to vent those pent-up feelings and tell the truth of what it's really like to be a gender fluid teenager. But just as Riley's starting to settle in at school—even developing feelings for a mysterious outcast—the blog goes viral, and an unnamed commenter discovers Riley's real identity, threatening exposure. And Riley must make a choice: walk away from what the blog has created—a lifeline, new friends, a cause to believe in—or stand up, come out, and risk everything.

From debut author Jeff Garvin comes a powerful and uplifting portrait of a modern teen struggling with high school, relationships, and what it means to be a person.

"No one should be talking about the shocking twist ending. What we can talk about is...[Lockhart's] razor-sharp portrayal of a family for whom keeping up appearances is paramount and, ultimately, tragic." —The Chicago Tribune

Before the king, princes, and all the nobles, she discovers she has an ability of her own.

To cover up this impossibility, the king forces her to play the role of a lost Silver princess and betroths her to one of his own sons. As Mare is drawn further into the Silver world, she risks everything and uses her new position to help the Scarlet Guard—a growing Red rebellion—even as her heart tugs her in an impossible direction.

One wrong move can lead to her death, but in the dangerous game she plays, the only certainty is betrayal.

A Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg

From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.”

One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?

Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.

Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become?

Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.

“Good Omens . . . is something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. Lots of literary inventiveness in the plotting and chunks of very good writing and characterization. It’s a wow. It would make one hell of a movie. Or a heavenly one. Take your pick.”—Washington Post

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.

So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

El verdadero enemigo del éxito y la felicidad no es el fracaso, como muchos piensan, sino el conformismo y las excusas que limitan nuestro éxito.

En esta extraordinaria metáfora, la vaca representa toda excusa, pretexto o justificación que nos mantiene atados a una vida conformista que nos impide utilizar nuestro potencial al máximo. Todos queremos hacer realidad nuestros sueños, tener mejores relaciones, alcanzar la libertad financiera e influir positivamente en la vida de nuestros hijos o familiares cercanos.

Acepta el reto de vivir una vida libre de vacas, una vida donde todo sueño es posible y los únicos límites son aquellos que tú mismo te impongas.

Norman the goldfish isn’t what this little boy had in mind. He wanted a different kind of pet — one that could run and catch, or chase string and climb trees, a soft furry pet to sleep on his bed at night. Definitely not Norman. But when he tries to trade Norman for a "good pet," things don’t go as he planned. Could it be that Norman is a better pet than he thought? With wry humor and lighthearted affection, author Kelly Bennett and illustrator Noah Z. Jones tell an unexpected — and positively fishy — tale about finding the good in something you didn’t know
you wanted.

When Ari’s mother died four years ago, she had two final wishes: that Ari and her older brother, Gage, would stay together always, and that Ari would go to Carter, the middle school for gifted students. So when nineteen-year-old Gage decides he can no longer live with their bossy guardian, Janna, Ari knows she has to go with him. But it’s been two months, and Gage still hasn’t found them an apartment. He and Ari have been “couch surfing,” staying with Gage’s friend in a tiny apartment, crashing with Gage’s girlfriend and two roommates, and if necessary, sneaking into a juvenile shelter to escape the cold Maine nights. But all of this jumping around makes it hard for Ari to keep up with her schoolwork, never mind her friendships, and getting into Carter starts to seem impossible. Will Ari be forced to break one of her promises to Mama? Told in an open, authentic voice, this nuanced story of hiding in plain sight may have readers thinking about homelessness in a whole new way.

The gently reassuring text focuses on what is gained rather than what is lost when parents divorce, while the sensitive illustrations, depicting two unique homes in all their small details, firmly establish Alex’s place in both of them.
