What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales?When his mother became President of the United States, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius—his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with an actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex/Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse.Heads of the family and state and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: Stage a truce between the two rivals. What at first begins as a fake, Instagrammable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the presidential campaign and upend two nations. It raises the question: Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage, and the power, to be the people we are meant to ben? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through? , how will history remember you?

Enfadado con el gobierno de su país por los impuestos que le reclamaban por el cuadro, Sayto anunció en una rueda de prensa mundial que el lienzo de Van Gogh desaparecería con él. Desde su muerte, en 1996, nada se ha vueltoa saber de la obra en el mundo del arte. Un misterio que ha hecho correr ríos de tinta y ha dado pie a todo tipo de especulaciones.  Matilde Asensi novela su búsqueda y da respuesta a muchas de las incógnitas del enigma de su desaparición.

Por el camino tejerán entre ellos unos lazos invisibles que les llevarán al éxito o al fracaso.

Hace unos meses fui a ver el musical de Anastasia y me di cuenta de que apenas sabía nada de los Romanov y su trágico final. Investigue un poco para encontrar un libro que contara su historia y creo que no podría haber encontrado mejor opción. Este libro narra el final de la vida de la familia del último zar de Rusia de forma novelada pero siendo muy fiel a lo que ocurrió de verdad. Para ello utiliza como narrador a uno de los sirvientes de esta familia que estuvo con ellos hasta el final pero que consiguió escapar de la tragedia (Leonid Sednev). Este personaje existió en la realidad y se enfoca como si fueran sus memorias de este suceso que quiere transmitir antes de la muerte. Obviamente esto ya no es real, no son sus memorias, pero por lo que he visto está muy bien documento y es una forma muy interesante de conocer más a esta familia y este episodio de la historia. De hecho, a veces incluso se acerca un poco a un estilo de libro de historia (de no ficción, quiero decir). Si os interesa aprender sobre esta parte de la historia lo considero una buena opción, si ya lo conocéis es posible que no os aporte nada nuevo.

Keiko Furukura had always been considered a strange child, and her parents always worried how she would get on in the real world, so when she takes on a job in a convenience store while at university, they are delighted for her. For her part, in the convenience store she finds a predictable world mandated by the store manual, which dictates how the workers should act and what they should say, and she copies her coworkers' style of dress and speech patterns so she can play the part of a normal person. However, eighteen years later, at age 36, she is still in the same job, has never had a boyfriend, and has only few friends. She feels comfortable in her life but is aware that she is not living up to society's expectations and causing her family to worry about her. When a similarly alienated but cynical and bitter young man comes to work in the store, he will upset Keiko's contented stasis—but will it be for the better?Sayaka Murata brilliantly captures the atmosphere of the familiar convenience store that is so much part of life in Japan. With some laugh-out-loud moments prompted by the disconnect between Keiko's thoughts and those of the people around her, she provides a sharp look at Japanese society and the pressure to conform, as well as penetrating insights into the female mind. Convenience Store Woman is a fresh, charming portrait of an unforgettable heroine that recalls Banana Yoshimoto, Han Kang, and Amelie.

This is where the dragons went. They lie ... not dead, not asleep, but ... dormant. And although the space they occupy isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly.

This story is, in short, about a monster meeting another monster. One of the monsters is me.Yunjae was born with a brain condition called Alexithymia that makes it hard for him to feel emotions like fear or anger. He does not have friends—the two almond-shaped neurons located deep in his brain have seen to that—but his devoted mother and grandmother aren’t fazed by his condition. Their little home above his mother’s used bookstore is decorated with colorful post-it notes that remind him when to smile, when to say "thank you," and when to laugh. Yunjae grows up content, even happy, with his small family in this quiet, peaceful space.Then on Christmas Eve—Yunjae’s sixteenth birthday—everything changes. A shocking act of random violence shatters his world, leaving him alone and on his own. Struggling to cope with his loss, Yunjae retreats into silent isolation, until troubled teenager Gon arrives at his school and begins to bully Yunjae. Against all odds, tormentor and victim learn they have more in common than they realized. Gon is stumped by Yunjae’s impassive calm, while Yunjae thinks if he gets to know the hotheaded Gon, he might learn how to experience true feelings. Drawn by curiosity, the two strike up a surprising friendship. As Yunjae begins to open his life to new people—including a girl at school—something slowly changes inside him. And when Gon suddenly finds his life in danger, it is Yunjae who will step outside of every comfort zone he has created to perhaps become a most unlikely hero. The Emissary meets The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime in this poignant and triumphant story about how love, friendship, and persistence can change a life forever.

People come to this book, read the story and simply like that, they are engrossed with the book. They could not do anything else than turn pages after pages, and when they close the book, they do so with a sense of longing and a sadness that is long to disperse.When I first opened the book, I had thought, "Oh, this is about an old man teaching the kids all the good things this world can offer. It wouldn't be a long read then"; and I was right, the reading, it didn't take long, but as soon as I finished the book, I just wanted to find somebody, anybody for me to see or to embrace. I was over-flown with the idea that if I could not find someone at that moment, they would disappear without me knowing, and that will be the saddest thing in this whole universe. It was not my wish to end up like the characters in the story. I have been giving this book much ponder-upon. The way the author depicted how would a death of a person come to strike us all in the most emotionally violent way. We would deny the waves of grief at first, our minds numb with an empty space. We would carry on living just like before and to be honest, what has changed for us if we refuse to see the reality? Kamiya, Yamashita and Wakabe, they might have suffered the pain of death, but they were so lucky to be able to hold such vivid and endearing memories of the Old Man.Children these days scurry about with their modern technologies, not knowing the fun of running around doing foolish things a whole day of the past generations, and I do feel horrible for them on this. Children cannot care about the people around them if they are engaged in a virtual world. They need someone like the Old Man in this book, who will teach them the beauty of plants, how to do the laundry and the enjoyment of sharing time outside with their friends doing absolutely nothing.I found the blurring scenery of summer in this story so precious. It feels like I'd lived in such a scenery once and later find myself regretting why I did not have this kind of childhood. Everything ray of sunshine in this story ripped a sense of nostalgia. And the curiosity of the kids about death was so real it reminded me what kids truly are: simple and innocent. I long to become a child once more reading this book.

‘Armageddon only happens once, you know. They don’t let you go around again until you get it right.’People have been predicting the end of the world almost from its very beginning, so it’s only natural to be sceptical when a new date is set for Judgement Day.

Unexpectedly, Baby becomes infatuated with the camp's dance instructor, Johnny Castle, a man whose background is vastly different from her own.

She then fills in as Johnny's dance partner and it is as he is teaching her the dance routine that they fall in love. It all comes apart when Johnny's friend falls seriously ill after her abortion and Baby gets her father, who saves the girl's life. He then learns what Baby has been up to, who with and worse, that he funded the illegal abortion. He bans his daughter from any further association with "those people". In the first deliberately willful action of her life, Baby later sneaks out to see Johnny, ostensibly to apologize for her father's rudeness, and ends up consummating her relationship with Johnny.

Deloris Wilson (Whoopi Goldberg), a black woman who has chosen the stage name Deloris Van Cartier, is a Reno, Nevada lounge singer, she, the lead in a girl trio, in which she also chooses and arranges the music and choreographs the shows. She is a wisecracking, showy woman who has always loved music. She, however, only has her current job being hired by her married lover, Vince LaRocca (Harvey Keitel), to sing in his casino's lounge. She learns of Vince's true business as a gangster when she walks in on him killing one of his employees who wronged him. As a witness to the murder, Deloris goes on the run to the police, Lieutenant Eddie Souther (Bill Nunn), who has long been running an operation to get enough evidence to put Vince behind bars, this murder, which could be the metaphorical nail in Vince's coffin. However, Vince has put a contract out on Deloris' life to prevent her from testifying against him. As such, Eddie has to hide her until the trial, which will be at least two months. Where Eddie chooses is St. Katherine's, a poor Catholic parish and convent in a tough neighborhood in San Francisco. The convent's Mother Superior (Dame Maggie Smith) reluctantly takes Deloris in, that reluctance as Deloris is not anywhere near being close to looking or acting like a typical nun. Furthermore, the Mother Superior does not tell any of the sisters Deloris' true identity or the real reason for her being at St. Katherine's. With the Mother Superior cloistering the sisters behind the convent walls to pray for the salvation mostly of down and out of the neighborhood while keeping the sisters safe from harms of the outside world, there is an immediate and continual clash of wills between her and Deloris. Deloris, as renamed Sister Mary Clarence, does have an effect on two of the sisters, Mary Patrick (Kathy Najimy), a perpetually perky woman, and Mary Robert (Wendy Makkena), who always feels left behind in whatever is happening in life. The clash between Deloris and the Mother Superior leads to the Mother Superior restricting Deloris to one task at the convent, one that leads to good and bad changes at St. Katherine's, the bad most specifically in potentially leading Vince and his associates to Deloris. Those changes also bring the battle of wills between Deloris and Mother Superior to a head, unless each can see the positive in what is happening in relation to their life at the convent.

The Harper brothers Charlie and Alan are almost opposites but form a great team. They have little in common except their dislike for their mundane, maternally cold and domineering mother, Evelyn. Alan, a compulsively neat chiropractor and control-freak, is thrown out by his manipulative wife Judith who nevertheless gets him to pay for everything and do most jobs in the house. Charlie is a freelance jingle composer and irresistible Cassanova who lives in a luxurious beach-house and rarely gets up before noon. Charlie "temporarily" allows Alan and his son Jake, a food-obsessed, lazy kid who shuttles between his parents, to move in with them after Alan's separation/divorce. The sitcom revolves around their conflicting lifestyles, raising Jake (who has the efficient, caring dad while having a ball with his fun-loving sugar uncle who teaches him boyish things), and bantering with Evelyn and various other friends and family. Other fairly regular characters include Charlie's cleaning lady Berta and his rich, self-confessed stalker neighbor Rose who often sneaks in to spy on Charlie.
