Flipped is a romance told in two voices. The first time Juli Baker saw Bryce Loski, she flipped. The first time Bryce saw Juli, he ran. That's pretty much the pattern for these two neighbors until the eighth grade, when, just as Juli is realizing Bryce isn't as wonderful as she thought, Bryce is starting to see that Juli is pretty amazing. How these two teens manage to see beyond the surface of things and come together makes for a comic and poignant romance.

Tabby Saint se crio en Solace River, un pueblo en mitad de la nada donde muy pronto aprendió a buscarse la vida. Desde entonces ha visto demasiadas cosas y se fía de muy pocas, por eso camina de frente mientras tararea viejas canciones y fi nge que no le tiene miedo a nada, con un cromo de Macho Man siempre guardado en el bolsillo a modo de amuleto. Después de una década lejos de casa, Tabby regresa al que una vez consideró su hogar, pero todo ha cambiado: su madre se pasa las tardes jugando a la Game Boy, su padre alcohólico agoniza en el hospital y su hermana, adicta al crack, lleva semanas desaparecida. Y mejor no hablemos de sus hermanos. Su familia, odiada por todos, siempre fue un desastre mayúsculo. Tal vez se acostumbrasen a perder, y por eso abandonaron toda lucha. Tal vez solo Tabby, quien heredó lo mejor y lo peor de esta estirpe, pueda salvarlos de sí mismos.

As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes. Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves. When Haymitch’s name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He’s torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who’s nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he’s been set up to fail. But there’s something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.

The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story. There are two things that I can simply not tolerate: feminists and margarine. Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in Tokyo Detention Center convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, who she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nation’s imagination but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is, until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew and Kajii can’t resist writing back. Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a masterclass in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii but it seems that she might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body, might she and Kaji have more in common than she once thought? Inspired by the real case of the convicted con woman and serial killer, "The Konkatsu Killer," Asako Yuzuki’s Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.

An instant bestseller when it was published anonymously in 1929—the story of a divorce and its aftermath, which scandalized the Jazz Age. It's 1924, and Peter and Patricia have what looks to be a very modern marriage. Both drink. Both smoke. Both work, Patricia as a head copywriter at a major department store. When it comes to sex with other people, both believe in “the honesty policy.” Until they don‘t. Or, at least, until Peter doesn‘t—and a shell-shocked, lovesick Patricia finds herself starting out all over again, but this time around as a different kind of single the ex-wife. An instant bestseller when it was published anonymously in 1929, Ex-Wife captures the speakeasies, night clubs, and parties that defined Jazz Age New York—alongside the morning-after aspirin and calisthenics, the lunch-hour visits to the gym, the girl-talk, and the freedoms and anguish of solitude. It also casts a cool eye on the bedrooms and the doctor’s offices where, despite rising hemlines, the men still call the shots. The result is a unique view of what its author Ursula Parrott called “the era of the one-night stand”: an era very much like our own.

Obra publicada en 1929, Una habitación propia trata, básicamente, de la relación entre la condición femenina y la literatura, desde el punto de vista de una de las mejores y más singulares escritoras del siglo XX, Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), que volcó en cada una de sus páginas su inconfundible sensibilidad, el acervo de sus vivencias y su particular subjetividad. "Una mujer necesita dinero y una habitación propia para dedicarse a la literatura", proclama la autora al principio de estas páginas. Y toda aquella persona -sea hombre o mujer- interesada por los siempre sutiles vínculos entre vida y creación artística no se arrepentirá de adentrarse en ellas.
