Amor en arriendo
by Tamara KrugerUna comedia romántica trepidante y en clave millenial. Emilia es una chica tímida y superada por su contexto: las deudas, la enfermedad de su madre, una relación estancada y los dolores de cabeza que le genera el centro comercial que administra, la tienen al borde del colapso. Todo cambiará con la llegada de Mateo, su amor platónico del colegio, quien asoma por el recinto buscando un local para abrir su clínica veterinaria. En medio de cafés veganos, tiendas de carcasas, farmacias y centros de estética, los protagonistas deberán enfrentar la verdad que los acecha y que no han querido aceptar: el amor que sintieron cuando eran apenas unos adolescentes, está más vivo que nunca. En su debut literario en Penguin Random House, Tamara Kruger presenta una comedia romántica desenfadada, que no tiene miedo a escarbar en las expectativas y frustraciones de aquella generación que egresó de la universidad llena de sueños y ahora intenta navegar con dificultad en el mundo real.
Amor en reformas
by Mar P. ZabalaPasión entre yeso y hormigón. Un amor en construcción. Nuria es una profesora que al perder su trabajo deber regresar a su ciudad natal, Mérida. Obligada a salir adelante con el dinero que gana dando clases particulares y traducciones, no resiste la presión familiar de volver a vivir con sus padres. Con sus ahorros de sus años en el colegio, y en contra de la opinión de su madre, se compra un piso que necesita una serie de reformas. Entre sacos de yeso y gavetas conoce a Alex, el encargado de realizar las obras. Un guapo hombre que igual la exaspera que la enamora. Los malentendidos surgen desde el comienzo, e inician una singular guerra donde todo vale con tal de fastidiar al contrario. Sin embargo, el amor es más fuerte, y se impone con el transcurrir de los días. La idílica relación avanza al mismo ritmo que las paredes del piso de Nuria son reconstruidas, pero los cimientos no son tan firmes como creían. Ella descubre que él la ha engañado todo este tiempo. ¿Le perdonará? ¿Logrará Alex demostrarle que su afecto es sincero? *** —Esta noche no he reaccionado de forma racional. Los celos me han cegado, eso es algo que no puedo discutir, pero me hace entender que lo nuestro no tiene cimientos estables. No sé si es una ilusión o un enamoramiento surgido en base a las horas que nos vimos obligados a pasar juntos. —¿Qué quieres decir? —Tiempo, Alex, necesito tiempo para saber si quiero pasar el resto de mi vida contigo o lo nuestro no va más allá del café que estamos tomando. No supo qué decir. De estar en el cielo había pasado a estar en el infierno. Si así comenzaba el año, no quería ni pensar como estaría a final de diciembre.

Amour, Clichés et Cupcakes (Delilah Horton #1)
by Bethany LopezUn jour, vous êtes en train de vous trémousser, écoutant la musique dans votre tête tout en vous demandant si vos cuisses peuvent supporter de prendre un cupcake sur le chemin du retour. L'instant d'après, votre monde entier s'effondre. J'avais l'habitude de me réveiller la nuit, en sueur, pleurant parce que j'avais rêvé que mon mari me trompait, ou qu'il me détestait et en voulait à mes enfants. Il me serrait toujours contre lui et me disait que ce n'était qu'un rêve, qu'il m'aimait, ainsi que notre famille, et qu'il ne me laisserait jamais partir. C'était un sacré menteur. Aujourd'hui, je passe mes journées à prendre des photos d'ordures comme lui, à essayer d'être la championne de ceux qui sont exploités par les losers de notre ville, et mes nuits à être la mère célibataire de mes magnifiques jumeaux. J'ai des amies géniales qui me soutiennent toujours, et un motard sexy et mystérieux qui se montre toujours quand j'ai besoin de lui. Les choses commencent enfin à s'améliorer. Et, une chose est sûre... Il y a toujours de la place pour les cupcakes. AVERTISSEMENT : CE LIVRE CONTIENT DU SEXE, UN PEU DE VIOLENCE ET DES MANIGANCES.

Amp'd: A Novel
by Ken Pisani"Complete with painfully wry observations and delightfully caustic wit, this novel is a gritty exploration of what it's like to feel incomplete in the world. All five fingers up for this bitterly satisfying tale." --Kirkus Reviews(starred)Aaron is not a man on a hero's journey. In the question of fight or flight, he'll choose flight every time. So when a car accident leaves him suddenly asymmetrical, his left arm amputated, looking on the bright side just isn't something he's equipped to do. Forced to return to his boyhood home to recuperate, Aaron is confronted with an aging father (a former Olympic biathlete turned hoarder), a mother whose chosen to live in a yurt with a fireman twelve years her junior, and a well-meaning sister whose insufferable husband proves love isn't just blind, but also painfully stupid.As Aaron tries to make the world around him disappear in a haze of Vicodin and medical marijuana, the only true joy in his life comes from daily ninety-second radio spots of fun science facts: the speed of falling raindrops, batteries made out of starfish, and sexual responses triggered by ringtones - all told in the lush, disembodied voice of commentator Sunny Lee, with whom he falls helplessly, ridiculously, in love. Aaron's obsession with Sunny only hastens his downward spiral, like pouring accelerant on a fire. Pressured to do something - anything - to move his life forward, he takes the only job he can get. As a "fish counter" at the nearby dam, he concludes that an act of violent sacrifice to liberate the river might be his best, final option.

Amphibian Diaries: A Field Guide for Truth-Seekers
by John Hansel Jr.Amphibian Diaries is a Field Guide for Truth Seekers. A little, green stowaway in the author’s baggage turned out to be a good friend with a sage-like understanding of life. He taught six principles for recognizing Truth so people can have genuine, interpersonal dialogue while searching for personal significance. <P><P>By the time a reader is finished with the book, they’re invited into a safe and healthy conversation of life’s big questions with a friend. The invitation comes in the form of the LifeBet, reminiscent of the philosophy of Blasé Pascal, which states that all of us live our lives by a wager or bet we have made—there is a God, or there is no God. (The books main character, BP is named for Blasé Pascal.) <P><P>The book intends to launch LifeBet makers and takers into a commitment of seven meetings wherein they discus foundational life-issues: Origin, Meaning, Morality, and Destiny. Ultimately, the answers are a matter of faith for everyone—the primary constructs of our respective worldviews. <P><P>BP and the author would argue that these high-level meetings/conversations are essential but difficult, made practicable and effective by a commitment to SEARCH, an acronym for the six principles: <P><P>1) We all have a Soul with a hole, a need to be fulfilled by a significant and secure life. <P><P>2) We have an intrinsic Expectation of satisfaction that we cling to by faith. <P><P>3) We express our beliefs in terms of Answers to life’s ultimate and necessary questions: Origin, Meaning, Destiny, and Morality. <P><P>4) Our Reason to believe is always a matter of logical, empirical, and practical variables. <P><P>5) Our beliefs are an expression of our view of the Correspondence between our ideas about reality and reality itself. <P><P>And, 6) Intrapersonal, interpersonal, and inspirational Humility is required for the entire conversation Life and God. <P><P>The meetings and the ensuing dialogue are encouraged and assisted by the readers’ personal access to a designated website: www.AmphibianDiaries.com where they will find concise and insightful support materials as well as connection for interaction with the author and others. The book, the website, and the concept are all designed to move the reader in the direction of hope in a gentle and respectful manner. It presumes that if people genuinely seek Truth they will find themselves in the freedom of God’s love.

by Amy BorkowskyDoes your mother call you in a panic whenever there's a storm warning for your area? Does she act as though it's her duty to alert you to every health story on the news?

Amy also reveals the stories behind the messages and shares calls not available on CD, each one brimming with the worry and annoying comments only a loving mother could dish out. The same warnings and suggestions that had Amy cringing are sure to have you doubled over with laughter. But before you turn the page, take some advice from Amy's mom: Make sure you have plenty of reading light, because squinting causes crow's feet.
