Todos los caminos
by Romina Naranjo«Las personas somos inconformistas por naturaleza.Yo, la primera». Cuando la vida te da una segunda oportunidad, ¿por qué no arriesgarse?Un amor del pasado y una nueva oportunidad. Érase una vez nuestra protagonista, Roma, que con diecinueve años cometió el tremendo cliché de enamorarse perdidamente de él, el Sueco, el chico venido de lejos, siempre rodeado de un club de fans atento a sus historias y anécdotas. Roma decidió que ella sería el destino donde él elegiría quedarse... pero por desgracia, él no había siquiera reparado en ella. Años después, nuestra chica es una mujer adulta, fuerte, que encadena trabajos para sobrevivir y lo tiene todo completamente superado. O eso dice. Cuando el destino le pone al Sueco otra vez delante, Roma se plantea que quizá sea momento de sacarse la espinita. Quiere conocer de primera mano eso tan fantástico que se perdió a los diecinueve, y después... ser ella la que pueda decir eso de «y si te he visto, no me acuerdo». ¿El problema? El Sueco ha vuelto. Más guapo e irresistible que nunca. Y también más maduro. Ya no es el chiquillo de antaño. Su vida no ha sido un camino de rosas y, para sorpresa de Roma, parece dispuesto a dar un salto de fe... y entregarse de verdad. Si es que ella puede aceptar volverse a arriesgar. Dicen que todos los caminos, sobre todo los del amor, llevan a Roma. Pero aquí la pregunta es, ¿cuál escogerá ella?

by Hollie DeschanelElla escribió todos sus deseos en una larga lista, y él se los cumplió con la pasión y el amor de su lado. Martina nunca imaginó que aceptar el puesto suplente de su mejor amiga en una revista de moda le cambiaría la vida.

Decide crear una lista con todos sus deseos y tacharlos antes de que se acabe el año, algo en apariencia imposible, porque incluyen planes de boda y hace meses que dejó de creer en el amor. Holden, un hombre que siempre ha sido disciplinado y pasional, encuentra esa lista y decide ayudarla a cumplir todo… sin que Martina lo sepa. Así empieza un juego a contrarreloj donde los dos se acercan por propia voluntad pero con diferentes intereses y, sobre todo, seguros de no trazar la línea del amor. Incluso si enamorarse de nuevo es el penúltimo deseo de la lista.
Todos nacemos vascos
by Óscar TerolUn libro para sacarle todo el provecho al sirimiri y a la chuleta de kilo trescientos. Todos nacemos vascos no es un libro de chistes sobre bilbaínos. Todos nacemos vascos tampoco son los sketches del programa de televisión Vaya Semanita que el espectador tantas veces ha visto en los zápines. Dentro de Todos nacemos vascos ni tan siquiera se esconde un libro de recetas de cocina vasca, ni mucho menos una tesina sobre el nacionalismo. Es mucho menos que todo eso. Es simplemente la demostración fehaciente de que todos, también usted, somos vascos o los fuimos en algún tiempo: ¿Folla usted menos de lo que quisiera? ¿Le gusta comer bien? ¿Nunca limpia la escobilla del baño? ¿Tiene una tía monja y lo lleva en secreto? ¿Prefiere una cena con la cuadrilla a una comida familiar? Pues eso, que todos nacemos vascos y algunos siguen siendo vascos toda la vida. Ahora que sus orígenes no tienen nada que envidiarle a los de Javier Clemente o Xavier Arzallus, Todos nacemos vascos le puede ayudar a conocer a sus paisanos, a comprenderlos, y a sacarle todo el provecho al sirimiri y a la chuletas de kilo trescientos.
Todos tenemos un lado (oscuro) rosa
by Lili Herrejón¿Todavía hay alguien que piense que las chicas no saben contar chistes? Eso es porque no conocen a Lili y Herrejón (o Lilirrejón), dos jóvenes influencers de redes sociales que son capaces de arrancar 400.000 carcajadas en seis segundos. Lili y Herrejón no pueden ser más distintas. A Herrejón le gustan las películas de acción y a Lili las románticas. Herrejón prefiere la montaña y Lili la playa. A Herrejón le gustan los chicos como vikingos, tatuados y barbudos, y a Lili le gustan los chicos tiernos que tocan la guitarra. Herrejón prefiere salado y Lili, dulce. Sin embargo, son grandes amigas y compañeras de piso. En Todos tenemos un lado (oscuro) rosa hablan de amistad, de relaciones sentimentales, de la experiencia de compartir piso y, por supuesto, de sí mismas: la música que les gusta, sus peores y mejores citas, lo que les hace reíry llorar... Rompen con las ideas preconcebidas del mundo femenino mostrando mujeres que saben reírse de sus defectos y que prefieren quedarse en casa comiendo una pizza a tener una cita. Todo con el toque dulce que le pone Lili y con un poquito de mala leche, como le gusta a Herrejón.
Todxs tenemos un amor pendiente: #ElArteDeNegar
by Angie SammartinoTodxs tenemos una historia de amor que no se dio y siempre nos preguntamos cómo hubiese sido ¿Y si tenemos la oportunidad de concretarla? ¿Qué viene después? Con un estilo único Angie nos cuenta en esta novela una historia de amores pendientes basada en sus propias vivencias. Esta es una de esas tantas historias que abandoné pero quedó latente, escondida en mi memoria bajo refranes populares, canciones pegadizas y apuntes de la facultad, y que aguardan pacientes para volver en el momento exacto en que las necesitamos.

Porque a veces para resolver el presente no necesitamos inventar fórmulas nuevas sino conectar con nuestro pasado. En muchas ocasiones, las respuestas están más cerca de lo que creemos, pero las negamos, porque aceptar implica hacernos cargo de que en algún momento nos desviamos del camino, dejando a nuestro paso, historias inconclusas. Y lo que no se concluye... queda pendiente.

Tokyo Woes: A Novel
by Bruce Jay FriedmanIn this laugh-out-loud travelogue, an average American man journeys to a country unlike any other: 1980s Japan Early one morning, Mike Halsey leaves his sleeping girlfriend and his house deep in the woods to go out and buy the morning paper. His favorite deli is closed, so he keeps driving and winds up on an unfamiliar lakeside road. Then it hits him: the old wanderlust. The last time it struck, he ended up on the coast of Finland. This time, Mike heads east--to Japan. He doesn't like sushi all that much and has no idea what he'll do when he arrives. Luckily, he makes a new friend on the plane. Bill Atenabe invites Mike to stay with his family in Tokyo--"We've got plenty of room by Japanese standards," he claims--and the two pals are soon sampling all that makes the Land of the Rising Sun unique, from Peeping Tom tours to department store attendants who dust you off before you step into an elevator to computers with a sense of irony. Mike quickly discovers, however, that not all is as happy as it seems in the Atenabe household. Bill's wife is having an affair with a bamboo salesman, his son wants to give up a promising academic career to become a talent scout for a modeling agency, and his war-hero father is being forced into retirement. When Bill contemplates an act of desperation, Mike talks some good old American common sense into his friend and discovers the real reason for his own journey to Japan. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Bruce Jay Friedman including rare photos from the author's personal collection.

Tom Jones: Ou, Histoire D'un Enfant Trouvé, Volume 4 (Dover Thrift Editions)
by Henry FieldingWhen Squire Allworthy returns from London to discover a sleeping baby of unknown parentage in his bed, Tom Jones makes its rollicking start toward a picaresque journey across eighteenth-century England. Its foundling hero, having grown to young manhood and developed a passion for the girl next door, finds himself banished from the squire's country estate by the contrivance of a romantic rival. Lusty, good-hearted Tom is thus compelled to seek his fortune far from home and, ultimately, in the company of soldiers, thieves, whores, and other vividly drawn characters. One of the first and most influential novels, Tom Jones was an instant sensation upon its publication in 1749. Henry Fielding's masterpiece of wit, written in a mock-epic style that parallels Tom's adventures with episodes from classical mythology, offers an exuberant panorama of eighteenth-century life. Beloved for its bawdy humor and adroit social commentary, the novel has been adapted many times for stage and screen and ranks among English literature's greatest comedies.

Tommy Doc: The Controversial and Colourful Life of One of Football's Most Dominant Personalities
by David TossellTommy ‘The Doc’ Docherty was a combative Scotland international wing-half who became a brilliant but erratic manager. His 1960s Chelsea team was a glorious reflection of his colourful personality, and a decade later he reinvented his relegated Manchester United side as a vibrant attacking force.He was also, however, a hostage to his own decision-making, costing Chelsea a shot at the First Division title when he banned eight players for breaking their curfew. Most famously, he was fired by United after FA Cup glory because he’d fallen in love with the physiotherapist’s wife. He was a much-travelled manager, and ‘I’ve had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus’ was among the well-worn one-liners that created the image of ‘The Doc’ as football’s stand-up comedian. But in Tommy Doc, David Tossell looks beyond the wisecracks, interviewing Docherty himself, as well as former players and colleagues, to examine a remarkable career and reveal the personal heartaches behind the laughter.
