And the next Thing You Know . . . (Why You? #2)
by Chase Taylor HackettNot the one you’re waiting for . . . Jeffrey Bornic is getting over his ex. Really. So what if the rising-star attorney is angrily sleeping his way through most of Manhattan’s male population? When the time is right, the perfect partner will show up. And Jeffrey knows exactly what he’ll be like: an ambitious, polished professional who’ll make the ideal other half of a fabulous power couple. Theo McPherson is definitely not that guy. He’s a short, fiery red-head who works in the arts and wears sneakers held together with duct tape. If it weren’t for the fact that Theo is his best friend’s little (literally) brother, Jeff would be crossing the street to avoid him. Theo, meanwhile, has nothing but contempt for guys in suits, and seems to have deliberately set out to make Jeff’s life miserable, all while grinning at him in that exasperating—some might say irresistible—way that he has. At least it’s hard for Jeff to keep moping over his ex when he’s butting heads with Theo—and suddenly wondering if the last guy he’d ever fall for might be exactly that . . .

Andaluzia em Jerusalém
by Mois Benarroch Bianca OliveiraUm escritor deve seguir seus livros, seus leitores, suas palavras. Caso contrário, não obterá perdão. Por isso, quando passava pelas ruas de Jerusalém, como se meu livro me levasse algum lugar, como se não tivesse outro remédio a não ser seguir minhas palavras. Seguia minhas palavras e elas me seguiam. As palavras que se dizem na aula aos oito anos sem muito sentido, sem serem muito claro porque na escola de Lucena, no fim do mundo. "Sou judeu", como se diz a seu melhor amigo em segredo, um segredo que durou metade da manhã até que toda a aula a classe se acabasse e um dia a mais para que todos soubessem, desde os alunos até o diretor. Meu amigo íntimo, que creio que se chamasse Raul, me disse: "Eu sabia!" O qual não pude entender, como poderia ser que soubesse se eu havia inventado. Entretanto, nesse mesmo dia todos souberam, ou seja, todos me disseram que sabiam que era um tipo raro e, portanto, não estranhava nada que eu fosse judio. Como me contou um transsexual com dois filhos que quando anunciou a todos que mudariam de sexo, todos lhe disseram que não estranhariam, pois sempre acharam que algo de estranho ocorria. Todos, menos ele, que estava entre seus trinta e cinco anos e sempre comportou como todos os homens ao seu redor. Se chamava Dafna, já a conheci como mulher e nunca perguntei qual era seu nome de homem, me pareceu muito indiscreto. Minha invenção me levou a muitas discussões com professores, com o diretor e com meus pais.
