    Book : Unguarded - Pippen, Scottie

    -Titulo Original : Unguarded-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER This unflinching “master class” (The New York Times) of a memoir from two-time Olympic gold medalist and NBA Hall of Famer reveals how Scottie Pippen, the youngest of twelve, overcame two family tragedies and universal disregard by college scouts to become an essential component of the greatest basketball dynasty of the last fifty years.Scottie Pippen has been called one of the greatest NBA players for good reason. Simply put, without Pippen, there are no championship banners-let alone six-hanging from the United Center rafters. There’s no Last Dance documentary. There’s no “Michael Jordan” as we know him. The 1990s Chicago Bulls teams would not exist as we know them. So how did the youngest of twelve go from growing up poor in the small town of Hamburg, Arkansas, enduring two family tragedies along the way, to become a revered NBA legend? How did the scrawny teen, overlooked by every major collegiate basketball program, go on to become the fifth overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft? And, perhaps most compelling, how did Pippen set aside his ego (and his own limitless professional ceiling) in order for the Bulls to become the most dominant basketball dynasty of the last half century? In Unguarded, the six-time champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist finally opens up to offer pointed and transparent takes on Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, and Dennis Rodman, among others. Pippen details how he cringed at being labeled Jordan’s sidekick, and discusses how he could have (and should have) received more respect from the Bulls’ management and the media. Pippen reveals never-before-told stories about some of the most famous games in league history, including the 1994 playoff game against the New York Knicks when he took himself out with 1.8 seconds to go. He discusses what it was like dealing with Jordan on a day-to-day basis, while serving as the facilitator for the offense and the anchor for the defense. Pippen is finally giving millions of adoring basketball fans what they crave; an unvarnished, “closely observed, and uncommonly modest” (Kirkus Reviews) look into his life and role within one of the greatest, most popular teams of all time. Review “A master class in settling scores, or creating new ones.”-The New York Times“The Chicago Bulls stalwart tells all-and then some. Pippen also writes evenhandedly of the world outside basketball: “No matter how many championships I have won, and millions I have earned, I never forget the color of my skin and that some people in this world hate me just because of that.” Closely observed and uncommonly modest.”-Kirkus“Pippen offers an intriguing take on one of the NBAs greatest dynasties, [his] youth as the youngest of 12 children in a family ripped by tragedy, and his unlikely ascent to basketball greatness. Expect all the sports talking heads to be in full cry when this much-hyped memoir hits the shelves.”-Booklist About the Author Scottie Pippen played seventeen seasons in the NBA, winning six championships and two Olympic gold medals. He was honored as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996. Pippen is the only person ever to win an NBA championship and Olympic gold medal twice in the same year. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010.

Carol wasn’t just Katy’s mom, but her best friend and first phone call. She had all the answers and now, when Katy needs her the most, she is gone. To make matters worse, their planned mother-daughter trip of a lifetime looms: to Positano, the magical town where Carol spent the summer right before she met Katy’s father. Katy has been waiting years for Carol to take her, and now she is faced with embarking on the adventure alone. But as soon as she steps foot on the Amalfi Coast, Katy begins to feel her mother’s spirit. Buoyed by the stunning waters, beautiful cliffsides, delightful residents, and, of course, delectable food, Katy feels herself coming back to life. And then Carol appears-in the flesh, healthy, sun-tanned, and thirty years old. Katy doesn’t understand what is happening, or how-all she can focus on is that she has somehow, impossibly, gotten her mother back. Over the course of one Italian summer, Katy gets to know Carol, not as her mother, but as the young woman before her. She is not exactly who Katy imagined she might be, however, and soon Katy must reconcile the mother who knew everything with the young woman who does not yet have a clue. “Rebecca Serle is known for her powerful stories that tug at the heartstrings-and her latest is just as unforgettable” (Woman’s World) as it effortlessly shows us how to move on after loss, and how the people we love never truly leave us.

    Book : A History Of Wild Places A Novel - Ernshaw, Shea

    -Titulo Original : A History Of Wild Places A Novel-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: In this “riveting, atmospheric thriller that messes with your mind in the best way” (Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author), three residents of a secluded, seemingly peaceful commune investigate the disappearances of two outsiders.Travis Wren has an unusual talent for locating missing people. Often hired by families as a last resort, he takes on the case of Maggie St. James-a well-known author of dark, macabre children’s books-and is soon led to a place many believed to be only a legend. Called Pastoral, this reclusive community was founded in the 1970s by like-minded people searching for a simpler way of life. By all accounts, the commune shouldn’t exist anymore and soon after Travis stumbles upon it…he disappears. Just like Maggie St. James. Years later, Theo, a lifelong member of Pastoral, discovers Travis’s abandoned truck beyond the border of the community. No one is allowed in or out, not when there’s a risk of bringing a disease-rot-into Pastoral. Unraveling the mystery of what happened reveals secrets that Theo, his wife, Calla, and her sister, Bee, keep from one another. Secrets that prove their perfect, isolated world isn’t as safe as they believed-and that darkness takes many forms. “As spine-chilling as it is beautifully crafted” (Ruth Emmie Lang, author of Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance), A History of Wild Places is a story about fairy tales, our fear of the dark, and losing yourself within the wilderness of your mind. Review A richly embroidered tapestry deepens in hues as the story turns darker. Readers will sink into this one, and although they might question details of the resolution, they will be moved by the novels power. BooklistA lurid, fast-paced story of a reclusive commune. . . . The twisty plot brims with tension. There’s plenty of fodder here for a miniseries. Publishers Weekly“Deep in the woods, a hidden community lives by its own strange rules honed by myth, suggestion, and the terrible powers of groupthink. Is Pastoral as bucolic and lilting as its name, or do the trees split with rot, spewing a pox on all who dare to leave? In powerful, lush prose, Shea Ernshaw has created a world soaked through with the dread of nightmares. A terrifying and timely book.” Erica Ferencik, bestselling author of The River at Night and Into the Jungle“Let the wild rumpus start!

One of the best novels I’ve read this year.” Alex Finlay, author of Every Last Fear and The Night Shift“A gorgeously written tale of a community frozen in time and falling headlong into darkness. The plot twists will leave you breathless.” Jennie Melamed, author of Gather the Daughters“Dark and atmospheric, A History of Wild Places is a twisting, engrossing delight. Ernshaw’s skillful mix of mystery, psychological thriller, and paranormal-tinged drama keeps the ground shifting beneath her characters and readers. What a wonderful rabbit hole to fall down.” Erika Swyler, author of Light From Other Stars and The Book of SpeculationAn entirely enthralling novel, a true history of a world that pulls the reader into its depths.

And no one is particularly happy to see him again when he’s released after The Exoneration Initiative uncovered evidence that pinned the crime on someone else. In fact, Riley soon turns up murdered, surrounded by the loot from his latest scam. But if Riley was really innocent all along, who wanted him dead? To the cops, it’s straightforward: the still-grieving father of Riley’s dead girlfriend killed the former prisoner. Farrell, now out of politics and practicing law with master attorney Dismas Hardy, agrees to represent the defendant, Doug Rush-and is left in the dust when Rush suddenly vanishes. At a loss, Farrell and Hardy ask PI Abe Glitsky to track down the potentially lethal defendant. The search takes Glitsky through an investigative hall of mirrors populated by wounded parents, crooked cops, cheating spouses, and single-minded vigilantes. As Glitsky embraces and then discards one enticing theory after another, the truth seems to recede ever farther. So far that he begins to question his own moral compass in this “superb thriller from a veteran crime writer” (Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author) that you’ll savor to the last word.

    Book : The Twyford Code A Novel - Hallett, Janice

    -Titulo Original : The Twyford Code A Novel-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: The mysterious connection between a teacher’s disappearance and an unsolved code in a children’s book is explored in this fresh novel from the author of the “clever and often wryly funny” (PopSugar) novel The Appeal.Forty years ago, Steven “Smithy” Smith found a copy of a famous children’s book by disgraced author Edith Twyford, its margins full of strange markings and annotations. When he showed it to his remedial English teacher Miss Iles, she believed that it was part of a secret code that ran through all of Twyford’s novels. And when she disappeared on a class field trip, Smithy became convinced that she had been right. Now, out of prison after a long stretch, Smithy decides to investigate the mystery that has haunted him for decades. In a series of voice recordings on an old iPhone from his estranged son, Smithy alternates between visiting the people of his childhood and looking back on the events that later landed him in prison. But it soon becomes clear that Edith Twyford wasn’t just a writer of forgotten children’s stories. The Twyford Code holds a great secret, and Smithy may just have the key. “A modern Agatha Christie” (The Sunday Times, London), Janice Hallett has constructed a fiendishly clever, maddeningly original crime novel for lovers of word games, puzzles, and stories of redemption. Review “The Twyford Code is a page-turning mystery thats built for puzzle pundits and literary word nerds. Its also a story about literacy and class, with a hugely endearing ex-con at the center of it all. Clever and refreshing, this book proves yet again that Janice Hallett has a knack for redefining how a mystery is told.” -Nita Prose, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid“Extraordinarily clever, relentlessly fascinating, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny-but, somehow, this unique mystery has tenderness, heartbreak, philosophy and universality on every page. The Twyford Code is immersive, and inventive, and even interactive.

Culminating in a grand finale of twists and surprises, this book is one that even Agatha Christie would not be able to predict.” -Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot“The Twyford Code is a tour de force. Both a character study and an engaging mystery, Hallett has crafted a Rubik’s cube of a plot which had me reaching for my own pen and paper to try to decipher it. If you love acrostics, anagrams, or have every wondered what it might have been like to work with Bletchley Park’s code-breakers, this book is for you. A sure-fire hit and a cracking good read.” -Catherine McKenzie, USA Today bestselling author of I’ll Never Tell and Please Join UsEvery page is a joy, with laugh-out-loud moments even as the plot becomes more outlandish, and the startling final reveal crowns Hallett as the queen of unreliable narrators. -Sunday TimesThe Twyford Code is a tour de force. . . . a mind-bending, heartwarming mystery that is not to be missed. -The Observer (UK)Fiendishly clever… manages to be both tricksy and surprisingly moving. -The Guardian[A] wonderful novel, which may start like James Joyce rewriting Agatha Christie with anagrams and acrostics, but ends up being a moving, multistory mystery about the power of books and paternal/parental love. -The Times About the Author Janice Hallett is a former magazine editor, award-winning journalist, and government communications writer.

    Libro : El Libro Secreto De Frida Kahlo (atria Espanol) -..

    -Titulo Original : El Libro Secreto De Frida Kahlo (atria Espanol) -Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: Now in Spanish: one of Mexico’s most celebrated new novelists, F. G. Haghenbeck offers a beautifully written reimagining of Frida Kahlo’s fascinating life and loves. Entre los objetos personales de Frida Kahlo habia una pequeña libreta negra a la que llamaba “El Libro de Hierba Santa” con su coleccion de recetas de cocina dedicadas a la Santa Muerte. Esta se exhibiria por primera vez en el Palacio de Bellas Artes con motivo de la fecha de su natalicio. El dia que se abrio la exhibicion al publico la libreta desaparecio. F. G. Haghenbeck, uno de los escritores mas aclamados en Mexico, se inspiro en este hecho y escribio esta maravillosa novela, la cual trae una vez mas a la vida a la famosa artista Frida Kahlo. Haghenbeck imagina que esta libreta fue un regalo de su amante Tina Modotti, despues de que Frida sobrevivio al terrible accidente de trafico que marco su vida. Desde este punto, Haghenbeck intercala recetas con pasajes vividos por la artista y reconstruye de una forma magistral la tumultuosa pero fascinante vida de Frida Kahlo, desde su romance con el amor de su vida y afamado pintor Diego Rivera, hasta sus relaciones con personajes famosos como Georgia O’Keeffe, Ernest Hemingway y Salvador Dali, entre otros. About the Author F. G. Haghenbeck, a native of Mexico, is an award-winning novelist and screenwriter. His novel Frida Kahlo’s Secret Book has been translated into ten languages. He lives in Tehuacan, Mexico. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. CAPÍTULO I Esa noche de julio no era como tantas otras, las lluvias se habian quedado agazapadas en un rincon para ofrecer el manto negro de un cielo estrellado, libre de nubes fodongas que descargaran lagrimas sobre los habitantes de la ciudad. Si acaso un ligero viento silbaba cual chamaco jugueteando entre los arboles de una pomposa casa azul que dormitaba la calida noche de verano. Y fue precisamente en esa noche tranquila cuando se escucho un constante golpeteo que retumbaba por todos los rincones del pueblo de Coyoacan. Eran los cascos de un caballo que tamborileaban al trotar por el empedrado. El eco de sus pasos resonaba en cada esquina de los hogares de altos techos de teja para avisar a todos sus moradores de la llegada de un extraño visitante. Presa de curiosidad, debido a que Mexico era ya una ciudad moderna, lejana de las arcaicas fabulas y leyendas pueblerinas, los pobladores de Coyoacan interrumpieron la cena para asomarse a traves del rabillo de su porton y descubrir al enigmatico cabalgador seguido de una corriente de aire “propia de difuntos o aparecidos”. Un perro bravo se enfrento a ladridos al misterioso jinete, lo que no perturbo al hermoso corcel blanco y menos aun al que lo montaba: un adusto jinete cuyo pecho cubierto por un chaquetin marron cruzaban pistoleras repletas de balas. Éste, llevaba calado un sombrero de paja tan grande que igualaba en tamaño al domo de una iglesia y le oscurecia por completo el rostro. De entre las sombras de su semblante solo se atisbaban unos impactantes ojos brillantes y un grueso bigote que sobresalia de ambos extremos de la cara. A su paso, los ancianos aseguraron las puertas con doble llave, pasador y tranca, temerosos aun del recuerdo de la Revolucion, cuando esos visitantes traian consigo la ruina y desolacion. El jinete se detuvo en la esquina de la calle Londres, frente a una casa añil cuya fachada toda de azul cobalto, gritaba su peculiaridad en el vecindario. Los ventanales figuraban gigantescos parpados asentados junto al porton. El caballo se movio nervioso, apaciguandose en cuanto el jinete descendio para darle cariñosos golpecitos en el cuello. Luego de ajustarse sombrero y pistolera, el forastero se dirigio con aplomo hasta el porton y jalo el cordel haciendo repiquetear la campana. De inmediato se encendio una luz electrica y la entrada de la casona se ilumino por completo, descubriendo un ejercito de polillas que zumbaban su desesperacion alrededor de...

Past the foreshores of shipyards and warehouses, past new stone houses and the occasional steeple, on this day of dull weather, persistent drizzle and sneaking cold. There are many layers to this child: undergarments, middle garments, and top garments. Mayken is made of pale skin and small white teeth and fine fair hair and linen and lace and wool and leather. There are treasures sewn into the seams of her clothing, small and valuable, like her. Mayken has a father she’s never met. Her father is a merchant who lives in a distant land where the midday sun is fierce enough to melt a Dutch child. Her father has a marble mansion, so she’s told. He has a legion of servants and stacks of gold dishes. He has chestnut stallions and dapple mares. Red and white roses grow around his doorway, they twine together, blood and snow mixed. By day the roses raise their faces to the sun. By night they empty their scent into the air. Cut them and they’ll live only an hour. Their thorns are vicious and will take out an eye.

Dorothy Moy breaks her own heart for a living. As Washington’s former poet laureate, that’s how she describes channeling her dissociative episodes and mental health struggles into her art.

    Book : The Simple Wild A Novel - Tucker, K.A.

    -Titulo Original : The Simple Wild A Novel-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: City girl Calla Fletcher attempts to reconnect with her estranged father, and unwittingly finds herself torn between her desire to return to the bustle of Toronto and a budding relationship with a rugged Alaskan pilot in this masterful new romance from acclaimed author K.A. Tucker. Calla Fletcher was two when her mother took her and fled the Alaskan wild, unable to handle the isolation of the extreme, rural lifestyle, leaving behind Calla’s father, Wren Fletcher, in the process. Calla never looked back, and at twenty-six, a busy life in Toronto is all she knows. But when her father reaches out to inform her that his days are numbered, Calla knows that it’s time to make the long trip back to the remote frontier town where she was born. She braves the roaming wildlife, the odd daylight hours, the exorbitant prices, and even the occasional-dear God-outhouse, all for the chance to connect with her father: a man who, despite his many faults, she can’t help but care for. While she struggles to adjust to this new subarctic environment, Jonah-the quiet, brooding, and proud Alaskan pilot who keeps her father’s charter plane company operational-can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. And he’s clearly waiting with one hand on the throttle to fly this city girl back to where she belongs, convinced that she’s too pampered to handle the wild. Jonah is probably right, but Calla is determined to prove him wrong. As time passes, she unexpectedly finds herself forming a bond with the burly pilot. As his undercurrent of disapproval dwindles, it’s replaced by friendship-or perhaps something deeper? But Calla is not in Alaska to stay and Jonah will never leave. It would be foolish of her to kindle a romance, to take the same path her parents tried-and failed at-years ago. It’s a simple truth that turns out to be not so simple after all. Review Praise for The Simple Wild This book OWNS US. . . .This book is beautiful, y’all, and we are jealous you get to read it for the first time. -Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author Atmospheric, tender, and with feel-real characters who’ll make you laugh out loud and shed a few tears, this must-read book has it all. Cozy up and relax for the day, because you’ll want to do nothing but devour this stunning novel. -Hannah Mary McKinnon, author of The Neighbors This book is anything but simple. It’s got family drama, a journey of self-discovery and romance all rolled into one novel. Tucker blends these elements perfectly for a heartwarming read about a woman juggling a new relationship while trying to reconnect with her estranged father. It will make you think about your own life and the relationships youre in whether its romantic or family. -Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author of the After series Praise for Keep Her Safe: Sexy, dark, and unnerving.

    Book : The Cloisters A Novel - Hays, Katy

    -Titulo Original : The Cloisters A Novel-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: “Captivating in every sense of the word.” -Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author “Grabbed me in a way that no book has done since The Secret History.” -Rachel Kapelke-Dale, author of The Ballerinas In this “sinister, jaw-dropping” (Sarah Penner, author of The Lost Apothecary) debut novel, a circle of researchers uncover a mysterious deck of tarot cards and shocking secrets in New York’s famed Met Cloisters. When Ann Stilwell arrives in New York City, she expects to spend her summer working as a curatorial associate at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Instead, she finds herself assigned to The Cloisters, a gothic museum and garden renowned for its medieval art collection and its group of enigmatic researchers studying the history of divination. Desperate to escape her painful past, Ann is happy to indulge the researchers’ more outlandish theories about the history of fortune telling. But what begins as academic curiosity quickly turns into obsession when Ann discovers a hidden 15th-century deck of tarot cards that might hold the key to predicting the future. When the dangerous game of power, seduction, and ambition at The Cloisters turns deadly, Ann becomes locked in a race for answers as the line between the arcane and the modern blurs. A haunting and magical blend of genres, The Cloisters is a gripping debut that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Review “A story of academic obsession, Renaissance magic and the ruthless pursuit of power. Captivating in every sense of the word.” -Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author of The Sanatorium “The tension and foreboding builds gradually in this outstanding gothic debut, allowing readers to savor Ann’s voice. The disturbing account plays with class differences and women friendship, set against a medieval, academic atmosphere sheltered from the city.” -Library Journal, starred review “Sultry and sinister . . . Hayss debut teems with sexual tension, the secrets of divination, and scholarly obsessiveness. With a jaw-dropping twist at the end, The Cloisters serves as a warning to us all: we may think we know what life has in store, but fate and fortune tend to turn their own tricks. -Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary “A moody and suspenseful story . . . Readers will be fascinated by the evocative setting as well as the behind-the-scenes glimpses into museum curatorship and the cutthroat games of academia . . . An accomplished debut.” -Publishers Weekly “A tour de force by an important new voice, The Cloisters begins as a fish-out-of-water story. But as Katy Hays deftly weaves in layer after layer of the occult, art, and academia, it turns into a rich tapestry that speaks to issues of privilege, power, and ambition-and, more than anything, the darkness lurking just inside ivory towers. Virtuosic and incredibly compelling, The Cloisters grabbed me in a way that no book has done since The Secret History.” -Rachel Kapelke-Dale, author of The Ballerinas “A tantalizingly clever tale, laced with surprises as devious as its cast of shadowy scholars, The Cloisters had me gripped from cover to cover. Hays’s debut is diabolical and darkly entertaining, a masterwork of literary suspense that surges to an otherworldly conclusion.” -Mark Prins, author of The Latinist “Like the moment before a thunderstorm on a summer afternoon, The Cloisters is sultry, lush, and trembling with menace.”-Julia May Jonas, author of Vladimir “Mesmerizing . . . A seductive unfurling of lies, envy, and the pull of the occult, The Cloisters does for tarot what The Secret History did for Greek class. This sharp, shadowy book held me in thrall from beginning to star-crossed end.” -Sara Sligar, author of Take Me Apart “Prepare to lose your entire afternoon to The Cloisters, first for its atmosphere, a medieval museum at the tip of Manhattan, and then to pursuing a young scholar in her search for an ancient tarot deck, while keeping...
