From the bestselling author of The Secret Midwife comes a story of selfless sacrifice, women's bravery and the importance of keeping memories alive.

We'll make sure they never forget. We'll make sure that every recipe, every poem, every note is remembered, and never, ever forgotten. Even if it takes me a lifetime, I promise you that no one will forget...

Amsterdam, 1940: Schoolteacher Aletta knows the war will soon reach her and the Jewish children in her class. When her family hide an injured Allied airman in their home, they must decide: how much will they risk when resistance could prove deadly?

Paris, 1940: Since her mother's death, Chloe has dedicated herself to protecting her brothers. So when the SS accuses Claude of being in the Resistance, she sacrifices herself to save him.

Forced together in Ravensbrück concentration camp, Chloe, Aletta and her mother, Emma, forge an unbreakable bond. Surrounded by unimaginable cruelty, they mount their own kind of resistance--secretly teaching children and preserving fellow prisoners' precious memories. In a place designed to strip away humanity, their friendship becomes an act of defiance, their determination to bear witness a lifeline of hope.

As the war rages on and whispers of a longed-for liberation grow, can their courage and sisterhood see them through to freedom? And if they survive, how can they ever be the same?

Based on true events, this is an inspiring testament to the power of friendship and the resilience of the human spirit.

To destroy the vampires who killed her family... she must become one of them.

Nadi is trapped in a deadly alliance with Raziel Nostrom. After a honeymoon soaked in blood and desire, they make a pact-to take down his criminal family together.

Now Nadi is at the heart of the Nostrom empire, pretending to be a vampire. If her act slips even for a moment, they will tear her apart.

Raziel holds Nadi's life in his hands. And her heart... His wicked smile sets her body aflame, drawing her closer and closer. Still, he is a born killer-alluring and utterly ruthless. He could turn on her in an instant.

But Raziel is not the only one in his family with a taste for betrayal...

When his brother and sister approach her with proposals of their own, Nadi faces a desperate choice. Will she stand by Raziel, as the world turns against him? Or seize the perfect chance to destroy his family forever?

There he must face the pain of a past he thought he had left behind, and his only reason to go back is to see Willow, the one woman he has always loved but can never have. If only he could tell his heart to stay deaf when she whispers that she has always loved him and always will...

No eres ningún fraude y no has tenido un golpe de suerte. Empieza a creer en ti y en tu talento. Si tú también sientes que eres un fraude, tranquila, no eres la única.

¿Por qué en el colegio las chicas creen que no han estudiado lo suficiente y en cambio los chicos piensan que «el examen era muy difícil»? ¿Por qué en la actualidad, aunque las estadísticas continúan mostrando que ellas sacan mejores notas, sigue faltándoles confianza (cosa que además influirá profundamente en su desarrollo profesional)? ¿Por qué la mayoría de mujeres sienten que son un fraude en su trabajo y que sus éxitos son solo fruto de la buena suerte? Esto es lo que se conoce como el síndrome de la impostora: una falta de autoestima que te lleva a dudar constantemente de tu potencial.

Este libro ahonda en las causas psicológicas de este fenómeno, explica cómo incluso algunas grandes líderes y creadoras --Michelle Obama, Angela Merkel o Margaret Atwood-- lo han sufrido y da herramientas para aprender a creer en una misma y ganar la seguridad necesaria para tener una carrera profesional y personal exitosa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

You are not a fraud and you haven't just been lucky. Start believing in yourself and in your talent. If you also feel like an impostor, don't worry--you are not alone.

Why do girls in school tend to think they haven't studied enough while boys say "the exam was really hard"? Why today, even though statistics still show that girls get better grades, do they continue to lack confidence (which will also deeply affect their professional development)? Why do most women feel like impostors at work and believe their successes are just due to luck? This is what is known as impostor syndrome: a lack of self-esteem that leads you to constantly doubt your potential.

This book delves into the psychological causes of this phenomenon, explains how even some great leaders and creators --Michelle Obama, Angela Merkel, and Margaret Atwood-- have experienced it, and provides tools to learn to believe in yourself and gain the confidence needed for a successful professional and personal career.

From the author of The Mask of Mirrors comes a sweeping adventure set in a world where fae secretly walk amongst those who seek to persecute them.

★ "An intricately developed alternate history that blends real Spanish history with lush fantastical elements. Offer Carrick's excellent duology starter to fans of Leigh Bardugo's The Familiar or anyone looking for a new historical fantasy series."

In an alternate Spanish Golden Age, the Council of the Sea Beyond has risen to unrivaled power, exploiting the Otherworld's most precious resources for their own gain. Estevan seeks to uncover their secrets, but he risks the exposure of his own: that he is a faerie, masquerading as a mortal.

The Hungry Girl is the human whose place he took. Lost among the fae and desperate to find some purpose for her existence, she leaps at the chance to help a group of Spanish explorers in the Sea Beyond ... only to be horrified at the atrocities they commit. A faerie pact has separated them--but only together can they bring down Spain's worlds-spanning empire and save the homes they have both come to love.

From USA Today bestselling author Kathryn Moon comes the Sweetverse: a scorching, emotional, why-choose omegaverse for fans of Katee Robert and Harley Laroux.

Baby's heat is coming...

After years of assuming she was a beta, discovering her omega designation in a biker bar surrounded by alphas isn't exactly fulfilling any fantasies for Baby. She only wanted to have a fun night, not get knotted, bitten, and bonded. Now Baby's entire life is about to turn upside down. With her heat on its way, she needs to find a pack, a nest, and alphas she can trust.

The Late Night Howlers have given up hope...

After years of waiting for an omega to choose them, this motorcycle club of alphas is ready to move on with their lives. Until one sweet woman takes a chance on them. A rundown bar and apartment building is no place to spoil a new omega but the Howlers are determined to do right by Baby when she needs them. All they have to do is keep her satisfied while resisting the mouthwatering temptation to bite and bond her, permanently.

When a rival MC comes sniffing after Baby, her safety is put at risk and the Howlers may be torn apart forever.

A sibling rivalry turns into a bloody brawl in this volume of Keisuke Itagaki's legendary fighting manga! The Shinogi brothers, the sadistic doctor Kureha and the nerve-cutting karate master Kosho, face off in a match that threatens to destroy their brotherly bond. Next, as the tournament heats up, will the mysterious kung-fu master from Hong Kong finally reveal his true strength?

Spelling, Grammar, & Punctuation (formerly Jolly Grammar) is a six-level program that gives young students the skills they need to spell and punctuate more accurately, use a wider vocabulary, and have a clearer understanding of how language works.

The Student Book for each level provides fun and engaging activities for the students to do as part of the lesson. The content covered introduces complex grammatical concepts in an engaging and child-friendly way and systematically reinforces the learning so that no one is left behind. It teaches new spelling patterns, supports a greater understanding of sentence structure, expands vocabulary and comprehension, and cultivates dictionary and thesaurus skills.

As part of the new Jolly Literacy brand, all the Student Books have new covers and ISBNs. Levels 3-6 remain the same in terms of content, but the new editions of Student Book 1 and Student Book 2 have a fresh, modern design with completely new artwork. It also has new lessons on; the /air/ spellings; saying /ear/; suffixes; comparatives and superlatives; and sentence work (sequencing/using the joining word "and").

New editions of the other levels will be made available alongside Comprehension & Creative Writing, Levels 3-6. Both programs are designed to work seamlessly together, helping students to become confident readers and creative writers.

Bradt's Paraguay was the first standalone guidebook to the country published internationally, and this new fourth edition remains the most detailed guide available. Covering the whole of this little-explored South American nation, it complements the best-known sights with off-the-beaten-track attractions well beyond the tourist trail, and throws in a cross-border excursion to adjacent Iguazú/Iguaçu Falls (one of the 'New 7 Wonders of Nature').

Sitting in the heart of South America, Paraguay takes the shape of a lopsided butterfly, its wings divided by the River Paraguay. Its western part is the Chaco - a wildlife-rich area of wetlands and arid woodland that reaches north to enter the famous Pantanal region. The eastern region is characterised by craft, music and campesino country life, with landscapes including savannahs and vestiges of Atlantic Forest.

The country is perfect for the adventurous traveller who likes to be immersed in local culture and natural landscapes. Nature and ecclesiastical tourism are both rewarding, travelling is inexpensive, music and dance are widely enjoyed (including during Encarnación's month-long carnival), and history centres on old Jesuit mission settlements. Then there are elements of intrigue: football is believed to have been invented in Paraguay's Jesuit missions during 1793; the Paraguayan harp is a world-renowned beautiful instrument; drinking tereré (an ice-cold infusion of yerba maté leaves and medicinal herbs) is a communal event; and Chaco salt lakes were actually open sea 60 million years ago.

Written by a long-term resident who leads an educational charity and founded a small hotel run for community profit, and thoroughly updated by two seasoned travel writers who have worked on scores of guidebooks, this new edition reflects recent changes in Paraguay. There is greater coverage of ecotourism destinations such as Yacyretá, Yabebyrý, Mbaracayú and Atinguý, while the capital Asunción features new sights including the Centro Cultural de España Juan de Salazar.
With everything from phone numbers of local keyholders to museums and churches to a map of how to reach remote waterfalls and advice on etiquette, Bradt's Paraguay offers all the background information required for a successful trip to this gem of a South American country.

A remarkably frank memoir about interdependence, grieving, and parenting as a queer femme that doesn't leave out the messy or the erotic

Staying Power, Zena Sharman's memoir in essays, is a beautiful and honest journey of care work, grief, parenting, and chosen family in the wake of intergenerational trauma. Exploring the lessons and inheritances of being raised by survivors of complex traumas, the book challenges the notion that one must be healed in order to parent well and celebrates the transformative power of queer family-making beyond gay marriage and assimilation into the nuclear family.

The book, which recounts the author's experiences of raising three children in a four-parent queer family, asks, "If leaving has helped you survive, how do you learn to stay?" Sharman finds answers in queer kinship, femme erotics, Leatherdyke lineages, and the radical possibilities inherent in doing motherwork outside of motherhood, recognizing that sometimes you fight the thing you want most.

Staying Power is a moving, deeply personal account of one person's journey of unlearning independence through an experiment in queer collective care.

This workbook accompanies artist Tom Fox's new book An Artist's Guide to Drawing Clothed Characters, giving readers space to practise and improve with guidance from the author, or can be studied alone as a hands-on drawing aid.

With 200 pages of accessible instructions and figures to draw over on the page, this workbook allows the reader to practise the theory put forth in the main book, while also functioning perfectly as a standalone. The exercises consist of partial references at low opacity, with the figure or geometric mannequin beneath the clothing provided so the reader can concentrate on drawing the clothes only. Additionally, this workbook includes some bonus clothing and pose references from the artist - ones there wasn't room for in the main book.

This and the main title are follow-ups to Tom Fox's previous book, Anatomy for Artists: Drawing Form & Pose (over 30,000 copies sold to date), with the figure-drawing maestro taking a deep dive into the subjects of clothing and drapery. Using his unique approach of simplified mannequins and dynamic figure sketches, Tom shares his process for improving your figures holistically, understanding fabric physics, and capturing the fold, stretch, and crumple of believable clothing.

The first in a seductive new romantasy series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair.

Banished by the church and betrayed by blood, Lilith makes a life in Nineveh, a neon-lit district where urban fantasy meets noir seduction. When a relic of unimaginable power finds her, it awakens enemies, a lover, and a terrifying prophecy she was born to fulfill.

She is the beginning and the end.

She is peace and chaos.

She is terror knocking at the gates.

Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over...until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.

Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he's always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn't sure he can protect her from what's to come.

Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat--to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.

Perfect for fans of:

• Frenemies to lovers
• Slow burn but the sexual tension is...toe-curling
• He falls first
• Neo-noir mafia fantasy vibes

"In this sumptuous and steamy dark fantasy, bestseller St. Clair reimagines Eden as an intensely patriarchal, über-religious society... Determined to make her own way, (Lilith) relies on her power over men's desire to steal the things she needs--but, for some reason, gorgeous Zahariev is constantly in her path and swooping in to clean up her messes... A promising series launch." - Publishers Weekly

One perfect day. A million catastrophes.

Unfolding across 24 hours, this is a propulsive, funny and sharply observed novel about the absurd, frustrating, hilarious, precarious, bittersweet, sometimes astonishing challenge--literal, existential--of being a woman, a mother, a wife, a person for one single, entire day.

For weeks she has been saying it will be their special day. One last, perfect day with her children before she returns to work after maternity leave. What's the worst that can happen?

A high-octane Mrs. Dalloway for our hectic times, Natural Disaster is "a thunderously good novel--the kind that makes you rock with laughter, shed a genuine tear, and immediately think of which friends you're going to lend it to first." (Nathan Filer, author of The Shock of the Fall)
