Ines de la Fressange, always one step ahead, shares the secrets for embodying her new style of Parisian chic. In the decade since Ines de la Fressange wrote Parisian Chic, divulging style and shopping secrets for Francophiles and fashion lovers everywhere, readers continue to turn to her New York Times best seller - published in seventeen languages - for inspiration. Even so, she decided it's time for a makeover. She updated her shoes and added new wardrobe staples, but she has also changed her attitude about fashion and beauty in an age where less really can be more. Some of the core tips and addresses from the original book remain timeless, but Ines now shares her insights on how to be fashionable and eco-conscious, how to curate your closet, and how to update her signature Parisian style. Completely revised and vastly augmented, this new book includes style "equations" that make dressing for every occasion as easy as 1 + 2 + 3, and an expanded section on accessories - brand new shoes and handbags, but also hats, scarves, belts, and glasses. Her favorite beauty products have shifted from the cosmetics counter to the kitchen, where she provides recipes for hair and skin care that are 100% organic. She debunks the myth of the so-called French manicure, and instead offers five pointers for becoming chic right down to your fingertips. She even shares insight on the French diet, which does include pastries, but market fresh vegetables, too! And if you're looking for the perfect gift, use her guide that's filled with oh-là-là ideas. A fresh take on this classic style, Parisian Chic Encore is essential reading for fashion lovers and Francophiles who want to get into step with the modern Parisienne.

Thorens - New Reference Collection - LP 2 LP 180g Audiophile Virgin Vinyl DMM / 45 RPM New Reference Collection – ein Herzensprojekt. Alte Favoriten und neuere Hörtest-Highlights wurden zu einer sehr persönlichen, aber auch konsensfähigen Mischung kombiniert. Mehr als zwei Jahre sind seit der letzten Thorens-Kompilation vergangen, und Thorens war in der Zwischenzeit nicht untätig. Der TD124, dem „Tribute To A Legend“ gewidmet war, erfreut sich nach wie vor größter Beliebtheit. Mit dem „New Reference“ hat sich einem Herzensprojekt zugewendet. Das aufwendigste Laufwerk der Thorens-Geschichte soll mit neuen, erstmals im HiFi-Bereich eingesetzten Technologien einen tieferen, genaueren Einblick in neue und alte Platten gewähren. Eine Zeitspanne von rund 60 Jahren finden sich auf diesem Doppelalbum repräsentiert: Die ältesten Produktionen entstanden 1960, zu Beginn der Stereo-Ära. Die neuesten erst vor wenigen Jahren. Bei der Auswahl der Titel hat Thorens wieder ausgiebig in der privaten Vinylsammlung gestöbert, hat alte Favoriten und neuere Hörtest-Highlights zu einer sehr persönlichen, aber auch konsensfähigen Mischung kombiniert: ein gewisses Faible für Soul ist dabei nicht zu überhören.

The people we lose take a part of us with them...but they leave a part of themselves with us too.

And checking out her landlord who lives across the driveway just might cure it, too. Only Tobias Rhodes didn't rent out the apartment to her, rather it was his teenage son, Amos.

But over days and weeks, long hikes and fireside chats, Aurora breaks down his walls and soon an unbreakable friendship blossoms into a once-in-a-lifetime love.

"The surprises keep coming in La Salle''s twisting debut thriller, in which good and evil aren''t always black and white."-Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review 30 years. 36 priests butchered. His bloodiest masterpiece is yet to come. Every ten years, for the past 30 years, a dozen clergymen are killed, brutally murdered in twisted scenes emulating the deaths of Jesus and his disciples. Now, "The Martyr Maker" has set his mark on New York City. The Laws of Depravity follows two NYPD detectives and an FBI agent as they race to catch a serial killer before he completes his last cycle of kills and disappears forever. Apart from his critically-acclaimed thriller titles, La Salle is a masterful mystery/crime storyteller. He may be best known for his acting roles in productions such as ER, Coming to America, and Logan, but his background in crime fiction was finely honed as he directed and executive produced countless episodes of popular shows such as Law & Order, Law and Order SVU, Law & Order: Organized Crime, CSI: NY, and Chicago PD with Dick Wolf. Praise for Laws of Depravity: "Laws of Depravity may be the most engrossing book you read this year, bar none."-Lee Ashford, Reader''s Favorites "...an utterly compelling and riveting thriller with echoes of the dark master, Thomas Harris. Here, La Salle also adds a surprising twist by weaving in a spiritual component that raises the narrative to lofty and thought-provoking levels. It''s a wonderful accomplishment."-Leonard Chang, author of Over the Shoulder and Crossings "Actor and director Eriq La Salle''s intense debut is a modern day parable cleverly masquerading as a crime novel. A muscular, gritty and spiritual thriller."-John Shors, bestselling author of Beneath a Marble Sky, Beside a Burning Sea, Dragon House, The Wishing Trees, and Cross Currents "Laws of Depravity will take you on a heart-pounding ride of vengeance, murder and atonement, never letting you rest until you''ve reached the final page."-Neal Baer, co-author of Kill Switch and former Executive Producer of "Law and Order S.V.U." "A gritty crime thriller, spiritual quest, and love story all woven into one compelling tale."-Publishers Weekly

This second episode in the LA urban fantasy series is "hyper-caffeinated, turbo-bloody, face-stomping fun" (Kevin Hearne, New York Times-bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles). Necromancer Eric Carter made a bad deal with Santa Muerte-and now there's a psychopathic shapeshifter who wants to wear his skin. Sister murdered, best friend dead, married to the patron saint of death, Santa Muerte. Eric Carter's return to Los Angeles hasn't gone well, and it's about to get even worse. His link to the Aztec death goddess is changing his powers, changing him, and he's not sure how far it will go. He's starting to question his own sanity, wonder if he's losing his mind. No mean feat for a guy who talks to the dead on a regular basis. While searching for a way to break Santa Muerte's hold over him, Carter finds himself the target of a psychopath who can steal anyone's form, powers, and memories. Identity theft is one thing, but this guy does it by killing his victims and wearing their skins like a suit. He can be anyone. He can be anywhere. Now Carter has to change the game-go from hunted to hunter. All he has for help is a Skid Row bruja and a ghost who's either his dead friend Alex or the manifestation of Carter's own guilt-fueled psychotic break. Everything is trying to kill him. Nothing is as it seems. If all his plans go perfectly, he might survive the week. "Demons and dark magic and gods of death . . . my favorite urban fantasy series." -Chuck Wendig

"By God, Brooke Jones is a Hell of a writer!" -- Ben Fong-Torres/former EDITOR of ROLLING STONE Magazine If you think a CONVERSATION WITH GOD could not possibly be FUNNY, you're in for a very BIG surprise! Brooke Jones, Breast Cancer Warrior, Political Satirist, and former San Francisco and Los Angeles Radio Personality died, but her death was short-lived. Eight minutes passed on Earth while she was busy being dead, but she wasn't on Earth, she was at Heaven's Front Door, interviewing God! "What is the meaning of life?" "What religion is God?" "Is God male or female?" Brooke asked every question she could think of, and God provided the answers. The first thing she learned was that God has a sense of humor! (of course God has a sense of humor -- have you ever seen a Platypus?) Was she returned to the Land Of The Living because of the startling final question she asked? Did all that she experienced really happen, or was it just the hallucination of her dying brain? She didn't know, until she was given proof - absolute proof - proof she could not possibly deny! "WHY ARE THERE MONKEYS? (and other questions for God)" is the absolutely TRUE, deeply INSPIRATIONAL, laugh-out-loud FUNNY story of one woman's Near-Death Question and Answer Session with God. (and there is undeniable proof that it really did happen!) "PROFOUND...HYSTERICALLY WITTY...NOT TO BE MISSED!" US REVIEW OF BOOKS "A HOOT & A HALF WITH A POWERFUL & INSPIRING MESSAGE!" ***** READERS' FAVORITE "A BRILLIANT BOOK! I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!" ***** READERS' FAVORITE "FASCINATING...HUMOR-LADEN...THOUGHT-PROVOKING...UNRESERVEDLY RECOMMENDED!" MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW "By God, Brooke Jones is a hell of a writer!" Ben Fong-Torres -- former Editor of ROLLING STONE Magazine "Smart, funny and profoundly spiritual -- a deeply-moving experience that skeptics and believers alike can embrace. I loved it!" Howard Rosenberg - Pulitzer Prize winning former Los Angeles Times columnist and author. "Delightful, insightful, spiritual and startlingly funny! It left me, an atheist, more of a believer than I was before!" Ray Richmond -- former columnist with The Hollywood Reporter, Daily Variety, Orange County Register, LA Herald Examiner.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes an exclusive collector's edition of her dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth. This edition includes all-new illustrated hardcover designs, full-color endpapers, full-color interior art, author footnotes, foiled edges, and more. "Let me worship you," he said. She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it. She answered, "Yes." Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist. After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows-a love that is both captivating and forbidden.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2023 NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY NPR, TIME, ESQUIRE, VOGUE, LA TIMES, SLATE, HARPER'S BAZAAR and others Part historical, part horror, part breathless thriller, part wilderness survival tale, The Vaster Wilds is a story about the lengths to which we will go to stay alive." NPR staff pick Lauren Groff just reinvented the adventure novel." Los Angeles Times Glorious surroundings come alive in prose that lives and breathes upon the page." Boston Globe A taut and electrifying novel from celebrated bestselling author of Fates and Furies, Matrix, and Brawler, about one spirited girl alone in the wilderness, trying to survive A servant girl escapes from a colonial settlement in the wilderness. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that burns hot within her. What she finds in this terra incognita is beyond the limits of her imagination and will bend her belief in everything that her own civilization has taught her. Lauren Groff s new novel is at once a thrilling adventure story and a penetrating fable about trying to find a new way of living in a world succumbing to the churn of colonialism. The Vaster Wilds is a work of raw and prophetic power that tells the story of America in miniature, through one girl at a hinge point in history, to ask how and if we can adapt quickly enough to save ourselves.

A hunky cowboy who's sworn off women. A Hollywood starlet searching for something real. A road trip that tests their "just friends" deal from day one. When professional bull rider Chase McKay lands in a compromising situation and is booted off the Pro tour until he can mend his reputation-and improve his riding, he escapes, hiding out from this meddling family and making plans to restore his image. Plans that definitely don't include a woman. Actress Ava Cooper is the tabloids' favorite target after her celebrity boyfriend publicly humiliates her. She needs a place to lie low and reexamine all aspects of her life. When her former attorney offers her a rent-free cabin in nowhere Wyoming, Ava eagerly ditches LA in search of solitude. So why in the heck is there a brawny cowboy sleeping in her bed? At first, Chase is skeptical of the blonde bombshell invading his space, especially since she's exactly the type of woman he's trying to avoid. Once the mix-up is explained, it's clear one of them will have to leave the small hideaway. When Chase mentions he's hitting the circuit to get back to basics, Ava convinces him she's the perfect travel partner. But days spent in forced proximity only increases their mutual lust and they find it harder to keep their hands to themselves. After one wild night, clothes and promises are tossed aside. While the mind-blowing passion isn't surprising, the trust and deepening relationship is unexpected. After the press gets wind of the affair, can this unlikely pair prove to the world, and each other, it wasn't a meaningless summer fling?

A Slow Burn Meet Cute! Baker. Wizard. God of Space and Time. Cupcake enthusiast. How long will it take to fan the flames and enrage this gentle phoenix? Start counting. What's a wounded and lonely little cinnamon roll to do? Calico Winghorse is a mixed-blood phoenix trapped in human form. Escaping to 19th century Earth via his inter-dimensional portal, he tends to his traumas by opening a bakery in the San Francisco Bay Area. But the unique method of his arrival draws the unwanted attention of Infinity Corporation. Agustin Chavez de la Cruz is the Demon Lord of California. And hereditary heir of this angelic-run corporation. His new assignment? Take absolute control of Calico's portal. Before Agustin can formulate a beneficial trade, the demanding head of IC complicates matters. In that chaotic disruption, Calico and Agustin grow closer. As the negotiations stumble along, they soon realize they both want so much more than a stuffy business arrangement. However, Agustin must push his psychic powers to the very limits to heal his sweet phoenix's injuries. Or else the portal will remain vulnerable to the darker forces that want it at any cost. The Demon Lord of California is book 1 of an LGBTQ+ romantic paranormal-fantasy series. You won't want to miss a first love found, hidden worlds, and a recovering workaholic grasping at his second chance at life, and love. All centered around control of an otherworldly portal. So curl up with your favorite beverage and hang out with Cal and Gus a while. You'll be happy you did!

Als sie etwa sieben Jahre alt war, hörte sie Gabriel Woolf im Radio 'Die Dame von Shalott' lesen und von diesem Moment an war sie für immer von der Poesie gefesselt.

From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth. "Let me worship you," he said. She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won''t even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it. She answered, "Yes." Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can''t resist. After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone''s failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows-a love that is both captivating and forbidden.

From Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, an innovative cocktail book that caters to a growing trend—mocktails for nondrinkers that are just as delicious and fun as their cocktail counterparts—in a joyful combination of seventy elevated, perfectly paired alcoholic and nonalcoholic recipes that let everyone raise a glass. Neil Patrick Harris loves cocktails. So much that he created the Black Magic Margarita, which is currently served at La Cava Del Tequila in Epcot Center, featured cocktails as a weekly feature in his Wondercade newsletter, and even created a bar in his home that was featured in Architectural Digest. David Burtka is sober. An esteemed chef and entertainer, David did not want to miss out on all of Neil’s cocktail fun — he just doesn’t want alcohol. Nor did he want to stop the party. The idea of a virgin version of Neil’s fabulous cocktails felt depressing to him, so David rose to the challenge to create the most exciting, refreshing, and festive concoctions that he can enjoy while celebrating with others. After seven years of building up their bar and cocktail recipes together, Neil and David are ready to share what they’ve learned with the world in Both Sides of the Glass, the first guide that combines equally exciting and innovative cocktails and mocktails to suit any mood or event. Together, Neil and David have played with fresh ingredients from their garden, explored flavor profiles from across the globe, and tried almost all the nonalcoholic spirits that have popped up in the past few years to bring you seventy recipes (thirty-five cocktails and thirty-five mocktails) for their very favorite concoctions. With carefully curated beverages organized thematically around the four elements (fire, earth, water, and air), Both Sides of the Glass truly is the cocktail book for the next generation of drinkers and nondrinkers.

From New York Times bestselling author and Bachelorette fan-favorite Hannah Brown, a rom-com beach read full of witty banter, emotional authenticity, and female friendship—perfect for fans of Emily Henry's Funny Story and Carley Fortune's One Golden Summer. Perfectionist and former pageant girl Nikki Bennet is looking forward to relaxing at her family’s lake house in Georgia for the Fourth of July. Even though it’s been two years since she was on the reality dating show LovedBy, she still hasn’t recovered from finding out on national TV that her fiancé, Aaron, had been dating another woman all along. But when she arrives home, her little brother makes a surprise announcement: he’s engaged to his girlfriend, Cara—the “other woman” Aaron had been seeing behind Nikki’s back. And what’s worse? They intend to have the wedding this summer, right here at the lake. Hoping to stop her brother from making the biggest mistake of his life, Nikki discovers an unlikely ally in Cara’s brother, Nate. While their bond begins as shared shock over their siblings’ rushed nuptials, it quickly deepens into something more. Nikki knows Nate is completely wrong for her—he’s a laidback country boy, she’s a driven LA influencer—and yet he’s a welcome distraction from the mess of her love life… as well as the growing sense that her family's been hiding something from her, something she may not be ready to hear. But as fireworks light up the water, can Nikki and Nate really stay focused on preventing this wedding? Or will all the reasons they’re wrong for each other lead to an even more unlikely love story—their own?
