Win by Harlen Coben

Cover Page

Description

In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from an American author, Harlen Coben, a dead man's secrets fall to the hands of a vigilante antihero--drawing him down a dangerous road.

"Coben, as is he won't, raises moral dilemmas readers will enjoy chewing on and pulse-pounding action scenes  will keep the pages at least semi-frantically turning."--Book Page

" Twisty--and we'd expect no less from the author of hot thrillers like Tell No One and Missing you."--AARP

Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped but the items stolen from her family were never recovered.

Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead -- not only on Patricia's kidnapping but also on another FBI cold case -- with painting and the suitcase both pointing them towards one man.

Windsor Horne Lockwood III or Win doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's stolen painting ended up with a dead man. But his interest is piqued, especially when the FBI tells him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism--and that the conspirators may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades, but Win has three things the FBI doesn't: a personal connection to the case; ungodly torture; and his own unique brand of justice.

In Think Like a Girl, award-winning psychologist, professor, and TEDx speaker Dr. Tracy Packiam Alloway will help you discover how:

• Sticking your hand in a bucket of ice can help you make a less emotional decision.
• Changing one word can provide a buffer against depressive thoughts.

The Book of Ichigo Ichie: The Art of Making the Most of Every Moment, the Japanese Way by Francesc Miralles and Héctor García

Cover Page
PC: Google Image

Description

The authors of bestselling Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long life now reveal a new concept of age-old origin that will transform the lives of millions of readers. Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with this definitive guide to the Japanese art of Ichigo Ichie from the same authors.

Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever--an idea captured by the Japanese phrase Ichigo Ichie. Often spoken in Japan when greeting someone or saying goodbye, to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or 'ceremony of attention', whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment.

Ichigo-Ichie: The Japanese Art of Living in the Moment is an inspirational work that tells us how to:

• Free ourselves from the past and the future and make each moment something unique.
• Bring into our lives the Zen that Steve Jobs learned from a Japanese master, and which was key to his success.
• Turn coincidences into a tool of conscious magic. 
• Create unforgettable moments in professional and personal circles.
•  Improve our relationships with a new type of mindfulness.
• Open the floodgates to the flow of creativity whenever we need it.

The book of Ichigo Ichie will help you find your Ikigai.

Escape from Harem: A Mughal saga of romance, revenge and retribution by Tanushree Podder

Original Cover Page

Description

Escape from Harem (2013), is the novel of an Indian author Tanushree Podder, who tells the story of Zeenat and the night that changed her life. The story gives us a preview of the Mughal dynasty, its culture, and its way of life. Tanushree spots the light on some unknown and less important facts (in the eye of historians) from the history of great conquerors through the journey of the girl who is taken to the harem. This book reveals the dark side of the dynasty--the harem, massacre, filicide, fratricide, animalistic behaviors of emperors, and the oppressive treatment of the women of the era between 1610 to 1650.

On that dark and fateful winter night, Zeenat was pushed into the Mughar emperor's harem so she could satisfy his lust. Her life changed that night, she goes to indolent Jahangir's harem to rebellion Shah Jahan's golden age of architecture. She even visits Jahanara's boudoir. Her life is a dizzy string of events with both sad and happy moments. Those soft moments of romance, passion, and times of aggression.

Ikigai: The Japanese secret to a long and happy life by Francesc Miralles and Héctor García

Description

Los Angeles Times Bestseller

'If hygge is the art of doing nothing, Ikigai is the art of doing something-- doing it with supreme focus and joy."-- New York Post

Bring meaning and joy to all your days with this internationally bestselling guide to the Japanese concept of Ikigai --the happiness of always being busy--as revealed by the daily habits of the world's longes-living people.

And from the same authors, don't miss The Book of Ichigo Ichie--about making the most of every moment in your life.

''Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years."-- Japanese proverb

According to the Japanese, everyone has an Ikigai--a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world's longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of Ikigai--the place where passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersect--means that each day is infused with meaning. It's the reason we get up in the morning. It's also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there's no word in Japanese that means retire, in the sense it does in English). They remain active and work at what they enjoy because they have found a real purpose in life--the happiness of always being busy.

In researching this book, the author interviewed the resident of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-old--one of the world's Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity ad happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and--their best-kept secret--how they find the Ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own Ikigai. Because who doesn't want to find happiness every day?

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Original Cover Page

Description

New York Times Bestseller. Goodreads Choice Awards Best Horror. Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Awards

"It's Lovecraft meets the Brontës in Latin America, and after a slow-burn start Mexican Gothic gets seriously weird."-- The Guardian

"A period thriller as rich in suspense as it is in lush '50s atmosphere."-- Entertainment Weekly

An isolated mansion. A chillingly charismatic aristocrat. And a brave socialite has drawn to expose their treacherous secrets...From the author of Gods of Jade and Shadow comes "a terrifying twist on classic gothic horror" set in glamorous 1950s Mexico.

Mexican Gothic is a 2020 gothic horror novel by Mexican Canadian author Silvia Moreno-Garcia. It centers on a young woman, Noemi Taboada, investigating her cousin's claims that her husband is trying to murder her. After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin to save her from mysterious doom, Noemí heads to a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She finds a handsome Englishman, her cousin's husband, whom Noemí knows a little.

Noemi is also an unlikely rescuer: She's a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she is also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin's new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemi; not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom.

Her only ally in this uninviting adobe is the family's youngest son. He is shy and gentle, and seems to want to help Noemi, but might have hiding dark secrets too. There are many secrets behind the walls of High Place and of the family's past. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemi digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. Noemi mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.

In development as a Hulu Original Limited Series produced by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. Nominated for The Brim Stoker Award. Named one of The Best Books of the Year by The NewYorker.

The Novel landed on multiple bestsellers list ad Moreno-Garcia's writing has received comparisons to Daphne du Maurier and Guillermo del Toro.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

cover page

Description

A New York Times Bestseller

"Mary Renault lives again! A ravishingly vivid and convincing version of one of the most legendary of love stories."-- Emma Donoghue, New York Times bestselling author of Room

A thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War from the bestselling author of Circe

The Song of Achilles is a 2011 novel by American writer Madeline Miller. Set during the Greek Heroic Age, it is a loose adaptation of Homer's Iliad as told from the perspective of Patroclus. The novel follows Patroclus' relationship with Achilles, from their initial meeting to their exploits during the Trojan War, with a particular focus on their romantic relationship. The Song of Achilles was awarded the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2012.

Greece is the age of heroes and it is a tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and human hearts. Patroclus, a young prince, has been exiled from his homeland 'Kingdom of Phthia' after an act of killing someone accidentally. He is living as nobody, he is just another unwanted boy living in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles.

Achilles, "best of all the Greeks," is everything Patroclus is not--strong, beautiful, the child of the sea goddess--and by all rights, their paths should never cross. Yet one day, Achilles takes the shamed prince under his wing and soon their tentative connection gives way to a steadfast friendship. As they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine. They forge an inseparable bond, despite risking God's wrath and the displeasure of Achilles' mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

Fate is never far from the heels of Achilles. When Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, the men of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy that led to Trojan War. Achilles joins the war, He is torn between love and fear for his friends. Patroclus follows him into war. And before he is ready, he will be forced to surrender his friend to the hands of Fate.

This rendering of the epic Trojan War is a dazzling stroke of the imagination that features a devastating love story, and an almighty battle between gods and kings-- peace and glory.

Later by Stephen King

Original Cover Page

Description

"Part detective tale, part thriller...touching and genuine."--The New York Times

#1 bestselling author Stephen King returns with a brand-new novel about the secrets we keep buried and the cost of unearthing them.

Sometimes Growing Up means Facing Your Demons

The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn. But the cost of using this ability is higher than Jamie can imagine -- as he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave. 

Later is a terrifying and touching story of innocence lost and trials that test our sense of right and wrong. With echoes of King's classic novel It, Later is a powerful, haunting, unforgettable exploration of what it takes to stand up to evil in all the faces it wears. This novel is a mismatch of many genres--thriller, ghost story, supernatural-coming-of-age. It is something King has done always, and he is getting better and better at it with very fine, sharp, and precise writing. Of course, his characters are always forced to grow up in ways that both frighten and delight us.
