O universo nos teus olhos
by Jennifer NivenO amor verdadeiro é como o universo: não tem fim. Da autora de Fala-me de um dia perfeito chega-nos uma história tocante de superação e esperança. Por vezes, conhecemos alguém que nos transforma e que muda tudo. Libby Strout, outrora a rapariga mais gorda da América, conseguiu finalmente juntar os pedaços do coração destroçado pela morte da mãe e está pronta para voltar a viver. Ultrapassou a dor, o luto, a humilhação. Superou-se e transformou-se e o que mais deseja é ser a rapariga que consegue ser tudo o que quer. No entanto, o resto do liceu não parece partilhar deste entusiasmo de Libby. Não parecem sequer perceber quanto mudou... Jack Masselin é o típico rapaz popular do liceu: bonito, charmoso, sempre com o comentário certo na hora certa. No entanto, o gosto que tem em perceber a mecânica dos objetos, em reconstruir e transformar todas as coisas que encontra, não lhe serve de muito na sua incapacidade para reconhecer caras. Jack tem prosopagnosia, e todos à sua volta, familiares e amigos incluídos, lhe parecem desconhecidos e são, para ele, um autêntico quebra-cabeças. Quando o destino junta Libby e Jack naquilo que aparenta ser um castigo injusto, a solidão que cada um sente dá lugar a sentimentos muito diferentes... Uma história de superação e de um amor verdadeiro e invulgar que nos devolve a esperança no mundo, em nós e no outro. Os elogios da crítica: «O universo nos teus olhos é muito mais do que a história de duas almas apaixonadas. Fala da necessidade universal de sermos compreendidos. E é por isso que é um livro tão excepcional.»Teen Vogue «Niven explora, com grande seriedade, a questão da identidade e da auto-aceitação e traça um caminho para superar as adversidades.»School Library«Uma história envolvente e viciante.»VOYA «Niven traz-nos uma história honesta de amizade, confiança, força e identidade. A não perder.»Buzzfeed.com «Libby e Jack vão saltar das páginas diretamente para o teu coração. Uma história de amor ímpar.»Justine Magazine«Esta história encontrará eco em todos os leitores que sentem dificuldade em amar-se a si mesmos.»Kirkus «Para leitores que procuram histórias de amor fora dos estereótipos.»Booklist «O universo nos teus olhos é um romance sobre a perda, o amor, a coragem, a bondade, e, acima de tudo, é um romance de esperança.»Nerdy Book Club«Niven criou duas personagens inesquecíveis e um romance que nos deixa de coração apertado.» Publishers Weekly

O: The Intimate History Of The Orgasm
by Jonathan Margolis“Margolis devotes himself to the social history of the ways and means of orgasm . . . And his breezy, sophisticated writing doesn’t hurt, either” (Booklist). Orgasm is one of society’s most compelling, shaping forces—and most of us probably think that we are living in its golden age. But are we? The history of orgasms is as elusive as the orgasm itself can be, for sex rarely makes the historical record. Now acclaimed British journalist Jonathan Margolis delivers the definitive history of the human orgasm, of sex for pleasure as well as conception—from prehistory to Viagra. Most people manage just twelve minutes of orgasmic bliss per year. Some never experience it at all. Yet the urge for orgasm rules much of human life, across national and cultural boundaries. How much have we learned about female pleasure since the 1558 discovery of the clitoris? How has the drive for pleasure, and the fear of it, shaped various societies—from Saint Francis of Assisi and the thorn bush, to “primitive” tribes who embraced maximum pleasure for both sexes? How much does the sensation of orgasm differ for different people? Drawing on the biology, literature, anthropology, psychology, and technology, Jonathan Margolis delivers the final word on both male and female orgasm in an enlightening history that is a pleasure to read. “Titillating . . . Covers the climax from B.C. to Sex and the City.” —Playgirl “[An] immensely entertaining and informative book . . . Neither leering nor squeamish, Margolis has created a fresh, compelling work guaranteed to ignite much late-night conversation.” —Publishers Weekly “One of the best books on human sexuality that I’ve come across.” —Bishop Pat Buckley, News of the World (London)

OMM Organizarte by Mela M.: Ordená tu casa y simplificá tu vida
by Melanie MelhemMelanie Melhem, organizadora profesional, propone una guía práctica para llevar una existencia liviana, en la que el orden y la organización no se conviertan en una obsesión, sino en un hábito que nos brinde más calidad de vida, armonía y placer visual. La organización es el camino hacia una vida más simple, pero para ordenar es necesario soltar, y eso es algo que nos cuesta mucho. Hay personas que conservan guías telefónicas o volantes de deliveries con números que están a un par de clicks en internet. En los cajones de la cocina suele haber utensilios rotos. En los placares, demasiadas prendas de ropa que ya no usamos. Y los juguetes de los chicos se adueñan de la casa. Entonces el problema no es la falta de espacio, sino el exceso de cosas. ¿De qué sirve una biblioteca con libros que no vamos a leer? ¿Por cuánto tiempo hay que archivar las facturas de luz y de gas? ¿Por qué, de pronto, tenemos la alacena llena de productos vencidos? ¿Para qué guardamos cincuenta collares si siempre usamos los mismos tres? ¿Cómo conviene organizar el lugar de trabajo? ¿Y armar una valija? ¿Cómo inculcarles la costumbre del orden a los chicos sin volverlos locos? Hoy las casas son más chicas que hace cincuenta años, por eso debemos ser conscientes y responsables acerca de los elementos que acumulamos. La house planner argentina Melanie Melhem propone varios consejos aplicados al mundo occidental para llevar una existencia más liviana. Y para que el orden y la organización no se conviertan en una obsesión, sino en un hábito que nos brinde una mayor calidad de vida.
