A lifelong soccer player and award-winning author shows us how the sport transcends races, ethnicities, cultures, and experiences and brings us all closer together.

Tim Bascom spent half his childhood in Kansas and the other half in East Africa. Living and traveling around the world, the game of soccer proved a constant truth. Through storytelling that effortlessly flows between poignant and funny, sobering and charming, Bascom explores why soccer matters so much in our common, everyday lives, and how this ordinary yet extraordinary game can bring us all a little closer together.

His passionate vision for this most global game leads Bascom to describe how soccer brought him sanity in the middle of a brutal revolution in Ethiopia and how bridging divisions of race and culture was key to success for teams he joined in Chicago and Kansas. From watching Arsenal's energetic rise in the Premier League to the bravery of a besieged Afghanistan Women's National Team, and from pickup games in the Midwest and the Middle East, Bascom finds universal truths and deeply human meaning in the beautiful game of soccer.

«Una novela con agudo humor negro que mezcla el mundo de la magia rural con la psiquiatría moderna, planteando contrastes entre la herencia genética y la herencia cultural.»-Alaíde Ventura, Julián Herbert y David Toscana Jurado del Premio Mauricio Achar/Random House 2024

"No sé si estoy loca o embrujada", confiesa Gregoria, quien carga a cuestas con una herencia familiar que ningún amuleto de romero ha podido revocar: malos augurios que terminan casi todos en la tumba. Ahora este peligro invisible e inminente la persigue a ella. Decidida a huir de la ciudad, con muchas dudas sobre la enfermedad que la trastorna, vuelve con sus abuelos al pueblo Reforma de Pineda a buscar respuestas, entre limpias y ansiolíticos.

Con una técnica narrativa siempre en tensión, entre tragedia y humor negro, Berenice Andrade Medina logra en esta, su primera novela, un relato de contrastes que expone la frágil tela que divide al pensamiento mágico del científico.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"I don't know if I'm crazy or cursed," confesses Gregoria, heir to a familial legacy of deadly premonitions that no spell or amulet has been able to lift. Finding herself the target of these invisible and imminent threats, she flees the city and takes refuge at her grandparents' house in the village of Reforma de Pineda. There, between exorcisms and doses of anxiety medication, she searches for answers to her questions.

Somewhere between tragedy and black humor, Berenice Andrade Medina's first novel is filled with narrative tension, a story of contrasts that exposes the fragile curtain between magical thinking and science.

«Guinea, la narradora -con sus relaciones rotas, sus recuerdos plagados de asco y el deseo de aplastar los olores de una casa podrida y macabra- tendrá que buscar la luminosidad de no hacerse más daño y poder gritar, romper, quemar, denunciar. Con esta novela, Santaolalla se atreve a nombrar lo que hemos callado y a proyectar, en un muro, el teatro de lo oscuro y lomacabro.»-Karina Sosa

En la casa nueva de Guinea, las paredes están tapadas con espejos de piso a techo; las cortinas, casi siempre cerradas, y los cuartos apestan a jabón y a desinfectante con olor a pino. El nuevo papá de Guinea se unta tantos aromas que a ella le pica la nariz cuando él se le acerca; y odia la luz, igual que los vampiros. Este papá vampiro dice ser sonámbulo y pasa el tiempo rondando a Guinea. Nadie más parece notar que es un vampiro, salvo su nuevo hermano mayor, Pascual, quien le cuenta historias para dar sentido a lo que no se puede entender. Mientras todo pasa, Guinea se refugia en un jardín, enorme y secreto, habitado por conejas y cubierto de niebla. Ahí, el tiempo pasa más rápido, y ella aprende que debe quedarse quieta, en silencio, casi sin respirar.

Una novela que recorre los espacios familiares que se fijan en la memoria por su naturaleza ominosa. Ximena Santaolalla, ganadora del premio Mauricio Achar-Random House 2021, nos entrega en esta, su segunda novela, una historia donde el juego es la traza del horror más íntimo, doméstico.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In Guinea's new house, the walls are mirrored from floor to ceiling, the curtains are almost always closed, and the rooms smell of soap and pine-scented disinfectant. Guinea's new father wears so many scents that her nose tickles when he comes near and, like a vampire, he can't stand daylight. He claims he sleepwalks, and Guinea is always waking up to find him there. No one else seems to notice he is a vampire except her new older brother, Pascual, who tells her stories to explain the things she doesn't understand. Guinea's refuge is a vast secret garden, home to mist and a colony of rabbits. Time seems to pass more quickly there, and she learns to stay quiet, silent, hardly daring to breathe.

In this her second novel, Ximena Santaolalla, winner of the 2021 Mauricio Achar-Random House Prize, brings us an ominous tale about the most intimate kind of horror: family dysfunction.

A collection of ancient spells and incantations, translated and interpreted for today's reader, brings long-ago meanings closer for those engaged in magical practices of manifestation, prophecy, love, protection, healing, curses, and even vengeance.

Each page of Ancient Spells and Incantations holds verses adapted from text unearthed through extensive research--grimoires, letters, and trial transcripts from across the ages and around the world. Many of these were tucked away in university libraries not easily accessible even to one actively in search of them. Enid Baxter Ryce painstakingly researched this collection, finding fragments from across the centuries.

Translating some from Latin and Old English herself, Enid has made the spells accessible to today's witches. What was once whispered or chanted, spiraling in cursive, or carved in stone, still echoes like a song. The words that survived connect us to that ancient magic, and we can feel the truth and power.

As we marvel at these ancient magical words, we think of our ancestors. Thanks to them, scraps of papyrus, shards of pottery, secret books, and hissed recipes can, hundreds of years later, still show themselves to those who seek them.

Un libro de referencia sobre el TDAH escrito por una psiquiatra espacialista. Juncal Sevilla, presidenta de honor de la primera asociación de TDAH para adultos de España, te explica con rigor todo lo que tienes que saber sobre el Trastorno de Déficit de Atención en la edad adulta.

En el colegio te decían que eras inteligente pero vago. Te consideras perezoso, aunque te esfuerzas. Te despistas y no te enteras de lo importante en las conversaciones. Pierdes objetos y nunca recuerdas dónde aparcas el coche. Llegas tarde a todas partes y procrastinas mucho. Cambias de humor sin saber por qué y confundes horas, fechas y lugares. Te aburres con facilidad y dejas las cosas a medias. Haces gastos innecesarios. Interrumpes las conversaciones. Vives en una sensación de caos continuo. Padeces ansiedad o tendencias adictivas. Has visitado psiquiatras y psicólogos, pero sientes que no te entienden.

Si tú o alguien cercano a ti tiene algunos de estos problemas, puede que el problema sea un TDAH no diagnosticado. La doctora Juncal Sevilla explica en este libro de forma amena pero rigurosa, lo que es realmente el trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad, más conocido como TDAH, y cómo afecta a los adultos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this rigorous guide, Juncal Sevilla, a psychiatrist and honorary president of Spain's first ADHD association for adults, explains everything you need to know about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults.

Your teachers used to say you were smart but often distracted. You struggle with a sense of being lazy, no matter how hard you try to focus. You are easily sidetracked and miss the gist of conversations. You misplace things a lot and forget where you parked the car. You procrastinate and are always late. You have mood swings without knowing why and you mix up times, dates and places. You get bored easily and leave tasks unfinished. You spend on things you don't need. You interrupt conversations. You live in a state of constant chaos. You suffer from anxiety and have addictive tendencies. You've been to therapists, but you feel like they don't understand you.

If you or someone close to you fits this description, the problem could be undiagnosed ADHD. In this accessible but authoritative book, Dr. Juncal Sevilla explains the reality of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, better known as ADHD, and how it manifests in adults."

What If You Saw Your Hobbies as a Form of Worship?

Maybe you're an athlete or collector, a chef or film critic, a painter or video gamer. Your hobbies aren't arbitrary passions. The same God who formed your muscles and nervous system also formed the specific ways you love to play. He understands the delight you feel in your garden or your excitement as you open up a new board game. And he calls it good.

We often view play as a distraction from life's serious responsibilities, but in Created to Play, Brianna Lambert reveals the ways God blesses your hobbies and uses them to form and pull you into worship. Lambert explores ten different titles you may inhabit in your play: Beholder, Curator, Maker, Herald, Restorer, Connecter, Nourisher, Mover, Caretaker, and Historian.

This book helps you view your hobbies as opportunities not just for individual expression but also for communal enjoyment. Withwinsome practicality and theological reflection, Lambert draws you to glory in the God who loves and teaches you through play.

With Created to Play, you will:

• Explore how hobbies shape your spiritual formation, offering a fresh perspective on the theology of hobbies and leisure.
• Identify yourself among ten unique roles we take on through hobbies, uncovering how play shapes your identity in Christ.
• Learn to embrace rest and joy through hobbies, reenvisioning leisure as life-giving rather than wasteful.
• Challenge your guilt around play by learning how hobbies can form you spiritually, draw you into worship, and help you reflect God's character.

You can experience how God is already participating in your hobbies with you, sharing in the joy they bring. If you are seeking a biblical perspective on your hobbies or struggling to enjoy leisure amid the demands of a busy life, this book can help you reclaim play as a vital part of spiritual formation.

Play isn't about what you get or achieve but about who you become in the process.

The next book in the New Haven series, interconnected standalones featuring second chances, fiery passion, and Black heroines who get their happily ever afters. This is part one of a trilogy.

Mallory

The first time I kissed Christopher Johnson, I knew he would be my biggest mistake. It didn't stop me from wanting him though, and when the ghosts from my past came barging into the present, it didn't stop me from agreeing to let him help.

It was supposed to be a simple business arrangement, a few months of playing a role that came far too easily to the both of us, but it wasn't long before it became more.

Love. Devotion. Heartbreak in its truest form.

Some people say life is for the living, but I say life is for the prepared. For the planners who know that controlling every piece on the board is the only way to get the result you want.

To avoid unfortunate complications like having your heart broken by a man past experiences taught you, you never should have trusted in the first place.

Christopher

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for Mallory Kent.

I think I knew it the first time I laid eyes on her, and it's remained one of my unspoken truths for the two years that I've known her. But I never thought I'd get the opportunity to do anything about it because Mallory is one of those people who doesn't need anyone.

She's strong, serious, and always in control of every situation around her, which is why the second I see her looking panicked and uncertain in the arms of a figure from her past, I don't think. I just act.

I had no idea that one small decision would lead to this. A fake relationship--designed to solve her problems and mine--turned real. An earth shattering love torn apart by the very forces that led to its conception. Forces that turned me into the source of our destruction.

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for Mallory Kent, including break her heart to save her soul.

She's sworn to protect the realm. Her heart has other plans.

Lady Ammalie Avington, Baroness of Faebarrow, knows it's not safe to pine after the son of a demon. Especially not the blood mage who threatened and abducted her and now intends to bring ruin to the realm. The very realm she is sworn to serve. It's just a terribly inconvenient fact because, well...he's rather cute.

Despite her best efforts, Amma can't seem to get him out of her mind, not whilst locked up in a tower surrounded by infernal beings, nor trapped below ground in a den of beguiling vampires, and definitely not in the heart of a wild jungle under the tutelage of esoteric witches. She just can't help herself around Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne, danger be damned. And what danger is there? Damien's heart, the one he swears to not have, has been softening right before her eyes. Perhaps with her guidance, Damien won't rain chaos and destruction down on the world. Perhaps she can even save them both as Damien searches for a way to magically unlink them on their quest to fulfill their destinies.

So, when Amma learns she may have ancient, innate magical powers of her own, why not use them to do exactly as she pleases?

None of that matters any more..

On October 16, 2013, 437 students, 52 teachers, and 24 additional staff from Bay Point Preparatory High School in suburban Milwaukee, WI vanished without a trace. Countless light years away, far outside the bounds of the charted universe, 513 people find themselves in the middle of an ancient, primordial wilderness. Where are they? Why are they there? The answers will prove stranger than anyone could possibly imagine. As fans of James Tynion IV's work in the Batman universe (BATMAN ETERNAL, RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS), we were eager to publish his first original comic series. Plus, THE WOODS gives us that same eerie, small-town horror feel we get whenever we read a Stephen King novel. If you're fan of teen conspiracy comics like MORNING GLORIES, SHELTERED, and REVIVAL, you'll immediately be sucked into THE WOODS.

From the author of the bestselling Clytemnestra comes another intoxicating excursion into ancient history, painting the brutal and captivating empire of gods and men, and the one queen destined to rule them all.

A common woman. The governor she married. The king who loved them both.

Babylonia across the centuries has become the embodiment of lust, excess, and dissolute power that ruled Ancient Assyria. In this world you had to kill to be king. Or, in the case of Semiramis, an orphan raised on the outskirts of an empire:

Queen.

Nothing about Semiramis's upbringing could have foretold her legacy. But when she meets a young representative of the new Assyrian king, a prophecy unfolds before her, one that puts her in the center of a brutal world and in the hearts of two men - one who happens to be king.

Now a risen lady in a court of vipers, Semiramis becomes caught in the politics and viciousness of ancient Assyria. Instead of bartering with fate, Semiramis trains in war and diplomacy. And with each move, she rises in rank, embroiled in a game of power, desire, love, and betrayal, until she can ascend to the only position that will ever keep her safe.

In her second novel, Costanza Casati brilliantly weaves myth and ancient history together to give Semiramis, the only female ruler of the Assyrian Empire, a voice, charting her captivating ascent to a throne no one promised her.

Sloane

Dominic Alexander is my late husband's best friend and the last man on Earth that I should want. He's arrogant, dismissive, and up until recently has only ever used those dark eyes of his to look right through me. For the last twelve years, he's taken a sick pleasure in making me feel paper thin, like my entire existence is of no consequence to him at all.

But now, things are different.

After one drunken night and a surprisingly sexy act of heroism, he's started to be...nice. Treating me like something other than the physical embodiment of his annoyance, which would be nice if it didn't make me feel all the things I swore to never feel for another man after my husband died.

Dominic

Sloane Kent is going to be my undoing.

What's worse: I think I'm going to enjoy being unraveled by the gold flecks in her hazel eyes and the adorable little way she scrunches her nose up when we're arguing, which we've done a lot of over the past decade. She thinks it's because I hate her, and I've always let her think that because the alternative is...untenable.

But something is changing between us, and I don't know how to stop myself from breaking every promise I've ever made to myself regarding my best friend's wife. Promises that include never telling her that there's a long list of things I feel about her, but hate isn't one of them.

One week. No drama. And absolutely no dating each other.

After graduating college, five friends make a pact. Every summer, they'll meet for one week at the same beach house on the California coast to relive the golden days of college. There's just one rule: no dating within the group.

Simple enough, except Everett and Sutton already broke the rule before summer even began... and couldn't seem to stop. What started as a one-time fling turned into an annual habit neither of them could quit, until the night everything fell apart.

Five years later, Sutton has no interest in seeing Everett ever again. Until one of their friends, newly divorced and looking for an escape, calls everyone back to the beach house. She expects awkward silences and forced smiles, but nothing could prepare her for Everett--still infuriating, still magnetic, and still capable of unraveling her with a single glance.

As the week stretches on and every re-lived tradition, shared meal and outing bring a flood of sun-soaked memories that feed the spark between her and Everett, Sutton begins to wonder if the promise that broke them apart was worth keeping in the first place... and if breaking it again will ruin the delicate balance their friend group has finally started to reclaim.
