D. C. Barletta is a writer, software developer, and unapologetic science geek who loves living at the intersection of code, creatures, and story. With a background in biological research and a deep interest in how life evolves under pressure, he builds fantasy worlds where ecosystems feel lived-in, and where rivers, roots, and bond-creatures shape the fate of cities hanging on by their fingertips. His ongoing World of Tethys saga follows exiles, wranglers, and root-listeners clinging to a cliffside civilization above a dangerous prehistoric sea.

I used to think my future in pro hockey, my motorcycle between my thighs, and my friends were all I needed. But she changed all that. She thinks she’s above it all.

And my two best friends and I will be the ones to punish her. I won’t think about how soft her lips look or the way she whispers those pretty little lies. My new stepsister ruined my life. And now we’re determined to ruin her.

Mayberry’s gentle rhythms return as Zayne and Kamden count down to their perfect summer wedding. Sunlit streets hum with anticipation, and every porch is alive with laughter, friendship, and the sweet scent of magnolias in bloom. Then a mysterious visitor arrives—clutching faded black-and-white snapshots of a beloved childhood show—in search of the very magic he’s only ever seen on screen.

Echos can come in as many flavors as there are sources. They are all unique, but few more so than an Ascension. Matt, Liz, and Aster are off to fight in a war their predecessors started two hundred years ago, but the Empire marches on, and so too do those whom the Ascenders affected.

In the aftermath of the Sovereign’s fall, Seryth wears the Hollow’s crown—a living relic of root and light that ties her to the land’s oldest power. But the ember that nearly consumed the realm still breathes deep beneath the roots, and its hunger has only grown. When the pale tree at the basin begins to burn from within, Seryth is drawn into a final confrontation with a force that cannot be killed, only contained. To seal the ember, she must stand against the Heartflame—an ancient, burning will given form—and risk binding it through herself.

Convinta che qualcuno stia cercando di ucciderla, la ricca Jane Wetherby chiede a Hamish Macbeth di trascorrere il Natale con lei e con un gruppo di amici presso la sua clinica termale, che sorge sull'isola di Eileencraig. Tormentato da un brutto raffreddore e senza progetti per il periodo natalizio, Hamish accetta, anche se pensa che Jane sia soltanto una donna po' strampalata. Sull'isola, però, l'atmosfera è assai cupa: gli abitanti sono scontrosi e quasi aggressivi e gli altri ospiti sono assai gelidi nei suoi confronti.

Hamish Macbeth riceve la notizia che c'è stato un omicidio ad Arrat House, in cui vive il ricchissimo Arthur Trent ma, sebbene sia un poliziotto, non si scapicolla per raggiungere la (presunta) scena del crimine. Trent infatti è famoso – e famigerato – per i suoi scherzi, anche di pessimo gusto, e Hamish ne sa qualcosa, dato che, tempo prima, era stato chiamato proprio ad Arrat House per indagare su un delitto, scoprendo poi che la "vittima" era il maggiordomo di Trent coperto di sangue finto. Stavolta, però, la vittima c'è ed è proprio l'incorreggibile burlone Arthur Trent.

This audiobook basically talks about many key leadership principles that are directly from the lessons I have learned as an individual, a leader, and an officer in the military. The goal is to inspire individuals no matter where you start in life, no matter where you are from, or no matter who you are! Success is always achievable, especially if you believe and have the courage to grow. I hope that this audiobook helps paint that picture and points out many of the key tools needed to become an effective leader.

La globalización ha producido sensaciones de impotencia en millones de personas en Occidente. Ese sentimiento de indefensión genera resentimiento y un afán por buscar culpables. Se culpa a los inmigrantes. Se culpa a los musulmanes. Se culpa a otras razas. Se culpa a la élite cultural. Basándose en una combinación de ejemplos históricos y contemporáneos, Nussbaum desenreda en La monarquía del miedo toda esta maraña de sentimientos y nos proporciona así una hoja de ruta para que sepamos hacia dónde dirigir nuestros pasos a partir de aquí.

Mercier e Camier, prima opera scritta da Beckett in francese, è senz'altro il suo romanzo più divertente. È la storia di due amici che decidono di lasciare la loro città (una mai nominata ma riconoscibile Dublino). Il progetto del viaggio viene frustrato da continui intoppi, contrattempi, incontri con personaggi strani e inquietanti, perfino un omicidio, e i due, alla fine, decideranno di fare ritorno alle rispettive case senza essere andati da nessuna parte, se non al bordello cittadino.

En la convincente crítica que aquí presenta, Martha C. Nussbaum argumenta que las teorías del desarrollo actualmente imperantes han producido políticas que ignoran nuestras necesidades más fundamentales de dignidad y respeto personales. Nussbaum ha trabajado durante los últimos 25 años en la elaboración y el perfeccionamiento de un modelo alternativo de evaluación del desarrollo humano: el llamado «enfoque de las capacidades». Ella y sus colegas parten de una pregunta sumamente simple: ¿qué es capaz de hacer y de ser cada persona?

Something sinister is happening inside the New Leaf Building. Olivia wakes on her bedroom floor in a pool of vomit, head spinning. The power is off and her husband is missing.

Transforming them into twisted, murderous versions of their former selves with one thing on their mind. To kill.

Now she’s struggling twin five-year-olds, a bustling family store, and trying not to think about the empty space where her husband used to be. The last thing she expects is to feel her heart skip when Brett shows up looking like the man she fell in love with instead of the stranger they’d both become.

Decades ago, they fought side by side, bound by duty and blood. Vietnam was their testing ground. Now, the past is coming for them. A forgotten war crime. A secret society buried deep within an elite university. An old friend returned. When one of their own is killed and a family member taken, old warriors are forced back into the fight—against an enemy that knows them better than they know themselves. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: this isn't just revenge. It's a reckoning.

You need Bear I, II, III to make sense of this. Bear makes Chor'Tan babies and rides off into the swamp with Cinder. But wait! There's more!
