Christmas Shopaholic
’Tis the season for change and Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) is embracing it, returning from the States to live in the charming village of Letherby and working with her best friend, Suze, in the gift shop of Suze’s stately home. Life is good, especially now that Becky takes time every day for mindfulness—even if that only means listening to a meditation tape while hunting down online bargains.

But Becky still adores the traditions of Christmas: Her parents hosting, carols playing on repeat, her mother pretending she made the Christmas pudding, and the neighbors coming ’round for sherry in their terrible holiday sweaters. Things are looking cheerier than ever, until Becky’s parents announce they’re moving to ultra-trendy Shoreditch—unable to resist the draw of craft beer and smashed avocados—and ask Becky if she’ll host this year. What could possibly go wrong?

Becky’s sister demands a vegan turkey, her husband insists that he just wants aftershave (again), and little Minnie needs a very specific picnic hamper: Surely Becky can manage all this, as well as the surprise appearance of an old boyfriend–turned–rock star and his pushy new girlfriend, whose motives are far from clear. But as the countdown to Christmas begins and her bighearted plans take an unexpected turn toward disaster, Becky wonders if chaos will ensue, or if she’ll manage to bring comfort and joy to Christmas after all.

Righteous Prey
“We’re going to murder people who need to be murdered.”

So begins a press release from a mysterious group known only as “The Five,” shortly after a vicious predator is murdered in San Francisco. The Five is made up of vigilante killers who are very bored…and very rich. They target the worst of society—rapists, murderers, and thieves—and then use their unlimited resources to offset the damage done by those who they’ve killed, donating untraceable Bitcoin to charities and victims via the dark net. The Five soon become popular figures in the media …though their motives may not be entirely pure.

After The Five strike again in the Twin Cities, Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport are sent in to investigate. And they soon have their hands full--the killings are smart and carefully choreographed, and with no apparent direct connection to the victims, the killers are virtually untraceable. But if anyone can destroy this group, it will be the dynamic team of Davenport and Flowers.

Umbilical
El conmovedor relato de la gestación de un padre, por el ganador del premio Alfaguara 2009

«Encantado, hijo mío, de empezar a la vez a ser lo que seremos».

Un hombre aguarda el nacimiento de su hijo. Asiste fascinado a la gestación junto a la madre, imagina a ese ser que vendrá a revolucionar su casa, su lenguaje, su pareja y su propia historia familiar. A lo largo de un año memorable, el hombre narra los primeros compases de una existencia nueva: la suya como padre junto a la madre y el hijo, tres personajes de una historia universal que encuentra palabras recién nacidas.

Umbilical es un relato lírico cuyas búsquedas resuenan tanto en el plano íntimo como en el colectivo. Sus reflexiones sobre la experiencia de la paternidad sitúan a la masculinidad frente al milagro de la vida y su incesante relectura del presente, en una época de redefinición de los roles, aceptando así la invitación de la poeta Anne Waldman que encabeza estas páginas: «Que los hombres detengan su alboroto / frente a la maravilla del bebé». Pero es también, y sobre todo, una declaración de amor.

El libro más íntimo de un autor fundamental disponible en el catálogo para lectores de todo el mundo.

Historicamente inexacto
SÓLO SE NECESITA UN MOMENTO PARA CAMBIAR TU VIDA PARA SIEMPRE…

Tras la deportación de su madre un año atrás, todo lo que Soledad “Sol” Gutiérrez desea es volver a tener una vida normal. Su entorno cambió por completo: nuevo departamento, nueva escuela, nueva dinámica familiar… ella simplemente quiere encajar, y la mejor manera de conseguirlo es uniéndose al Club de Historia de su escuela. Para ello, Sol debe participar de un rito de iniciación: entrar a la vieja casa de los Westray y robar… ¿un tenedor?

Sólo hay un problema: Ethan, el nieto de los Westray, la descubre robando y ella apenas logra escapar. Este encuentro fortuito cambiará su vida por completo; pronto aprenderá que encajar no es tan importante como ser ella misma, incluso si eso es lo más difícil que haya tenido que hacer.

Starry-Eyed Love
Having just broken up with her boyfriend, London Spark is not in the mood to be hit on. Especially not when she’s out celebrating her single status with her sisters. So when a very attractive man pays for their drinks and then slips her his number, she passes it right back to him with a ‘thanks, but no thanks’. As the business administrator for their family’s event hotel, the Spark House, London has more important things to worry about, like bringing in new clientele.

As luck would have it, a multi-million-dollar company calls a few months later asking for a meeting to discuss a potential partnership, and London is eager to prove to her sisters, and herself, that she can land this deal. Just when she thinks she has nailed her presentation, the company’s CEO, Jackson Holt, walks in and inserts himself into the meeting. Not only that, but he also happens to be the same guy she turned down at the bar a few months ago.

As they begin to spend more time together, their working relationship blossoms into something more. It isn’t until their professional entanglements are finally over, that London and Jackson are finally ready to take the next step in their relationship. But between Jackson’s secretive past and London’s struggle with her sisters, London must question where she really stands - not just with Jackson, but with the Spark House, too.

After strike three, Zoey is left wondering if her own ambivalence towards marriage has rubbed off on those she loves. And when her building distrust of matrimony culminates in turning down a proposal from her perfect All-American boyfriend, Rylan Harper III, she and Rylan are both left heartbroken, leaving Zoey to wonder: what is it exactly about tying the knot that makes her want to run in the opposite direction?

Todos los hombres deben morir
Se suponía que era imposible. Cuando George R. R. Martin creó la saga bestseller de novelas fantásticas titulada Canción de hielo y fuego, lo hizo con la idea de confinarla únicamente a los inmensos límites de su imaginación dada la dificultad que conllevaría el rodaje. Sin embargo, un par de guionistas primerizos, junto con HBO, lograron adaptar el épico relato de Martin y el resultado es de sobras conocido: muchos hemos visto las ocho temporadas de la serie que llegaron a continuación. Juego de tronos se erigió como el ojito derecho de la crítica y batió todos los récords de audiencia. Fue galardonada con 59 premios Emmy y la siguieron más de 44 millones de espectadores solo en Estados Unidos. A pesar del éxito, siempre bien documentado, todavía nos queda una historia por conocer sobre Juego de tronos: los entresijos de los trece años de lucha para sacar adelante este extraordinario fenómeno.

Durante el rodaje y antes de los sucesivos estrenos, todos y cada uno de los detalles de la serie estaban sometidos al más alto nivel de confidencialidad. Sin embargo, un periodista del Entertainment Weekly tuvo acceso privilegiado a los platós. Entrevistó en exclusiva a diversos miembros del equipo, desde los showrunners, los guionistas o el propio George R. R. Martin, hasta estrellas como Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke o Kit Harington, entre muchos otros.

En Todos los hombres deben morir, James Hibberd nos ofrece la historia oficial e íntegra de Juego de tronos. Desde la reunión inicial del equipo creativo hasta la puesta en escena del final de la serie, pasando por todas las épicas batallas que se libraron delante y detrás de las cámaras y que también se convirtieron en leyenda. Repleto de anécdotas sorprendentes, detalles jugosos del rodaje y datos reveladores sobre la trama, este volumen, avalado por HBO, harálas delicias de los fans de la serie, además de conmemorar una era excepcional e inolvidable de la historia del entretenimiento.

Esclava de la libertad
Cuba, mediados del siglo XIX
A la isla caribeña arriba un barco portador de una siniestra carga. Más de setecientas mujeres y niñas secuestradas de su África natal llegan para trabajar, hasta la extenuación, en los campos de caña de azúcar y parir hijos que serán también esclavos. Kaweka es una de ellas, una muchacha que vivirá en primera persona el horror de la esclavitud en la hacienda del cruel marqués de Santadoma, pero que pronto demostrará a quienes la rodean que posee la facultad de comulgar con Yemayá. Esta es una diosa voluble que, en ocasiones, le concede el don de la curación y le proporciona la fuerza para liderar a sus hermanos de raza en la lucha por la libertad contra unos opresores que han logrado esclavizar sus cuerpos, pero no sus almas.

Madrid, época actual
Lita, una joven mulata, es hija de Concepción, la mujer que lleva toda la vida sirviendo en casa de los marqueses de Santadoma, en pleno barrio de Salamanca, al igual que hicieron sus antepasadas en la Cuba colonial. A pesar de tener estudios y ambición profesional, la precariedad laboral obliga a Lita a recurrir a los todopoderosos señores de Santadoma en busca de una oportunidad en la banca propiedad del marqués. A medida que se sumerge en las finanzas de la empresa y en el pasado de esta riquísima familia, la joven descubre los orígenes de su fortuna y decide emprender una batalla legal en favor de la dignidad y la justicia, que merecen tanto su madre como todas las mujeres que entregaron sus vidas al servicio de unos blancos que nunca las trataron como a iguales.

Jacqueline in Paris
In September 1949 Jacqueline Bouvier arrives in postwar Paris to begin her junior year abroad. She’s twenty years old, socially poised but financially precarious, and all too aware of her mother’s expectations that she make a brilliant match. Before relenting to family pressure, she has one year to herself far away from sleepy Vassar College and the rigid social circles of New York, a year to explore and absorb the luminous beauty of the City of Light. Jacqueline is immediately catapulted into an intoxicating new world of champagne and châteaux, art and avant-garde theater, cafés and jazz clubs. She strikes up a romance with a talented young writer who shares her love of literature and passion for culture – even though her mother would think him most unsuitable.

But beneath the glitter and rush, France is a fragile place still haunted by the Occupation. Jacqueline lives in a rambling apartment with a widowed countess and her daughters, all of whom suffered as part of the French Resistance just a few years before. In the aftermath of World War II, Paris has become a nest of spies, and suspicion, deception, and betrayal lurk around every corner. Jacqueline is stunned to watch the rise of communism – anathema in America, but an active movement in France – never guessing she is witnessing the beginning of the political environment that will shape the rest of her life—and that of her future husband.

Evocative, sensitive, and rich in historic detail, Jacqueline in Paris portrays the origin story of an American icon. Ann Mah brilliantly imagines the intellectual and aesthetic awakening of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, and illuminates how France would prove to be her one true love, and one of the greatest influences on her life.

The Lightning Rod
Archie Mint has a secret. He’s led a charmed life—he’s got a beautiful wife, two impressive kids, and a successful military career. But when he’s killed while trying to stop a robbery in his own home, his family is shattered—and then shocked when the other shoe drops. Mint’s been hiding criminal secrets none of them could have imagined.

While working on Mint’s body before his funeral, mortician “Zig” Zigarowski discovers something he was never meant to see. That telling detail leads him to Mint’s former top secret military unit and his connection to artist Nola Brown. Two years ago, Nola saved Zig’s life—so he knows better than most that she’s as volatile and dangerous as a bolt of lightning.

Following Nola’s trail, he uncovers one of the U.S. government’s most intensely guarded secrets—an undisclosed military facility that dates back to the Cold War and holds the key to something far more sinister: a hidden group willing to compromise the very safety and security of America itself.

Trouble always finds her…
