The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
A Sunday Times-bestselling, award-nominated genre-defying tour-de-force of Faustian bargains, for fans of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life, and The Sudden Appearance of Hope.
When Addie La Rue makes a pact with the devil, she is convinced she’s found a loophole―immortality in exchange for her soul. But the devil takes away her place in the world, cursing her to be forgotten by everyone.
Addie flees her tiny home town in 18th-Century France, beginning a journey that takes her across the world, learning to live a life where no one remembers her and everything she owns is lost and broken. Existing only as a muse for artists throughout history, she learns to fall in love anew every single day.
Her only companion on this journey is her dark devil with hypnotic green eyes, who visits her each year on the anniversary of their deal. Alone in the world, Addie has no choice but to confront him, to understand him, maybe to beat him.
Until one day, in a second hand bookshop in Manhattan, Addie meets someone who remembers her. Suddenly thrust back into a real, normal life, Addie realises she can’t escape her fate forever.
Check & Mate
Mallory Greenleaf is done with chess. Every move counts nowadays; after the sport led to the destruction of her family four years earlier, Mallory's focus is on her mom, her sisters, and the dead-end job that keeps the lights on. That is, until she begrudgingly agrees to play in one last charity tournament and inadvertently wipes the board with notorious "Kingkiller" Nolan Sawyer: current world champion and reigning Bad Boy of chess.
Nolan's loss to an unknown rook-ie shocks everyone. What's even more confusing? His desire to cross pawns again. What kind of gambit is Nolan playing? The smart move would be to walk away. Resign. Game over. But Mallory's victory opens the door to sorely needed cash-prizes and despite everything, she can't help feeling drawn to the enigmatic strategist....
As she rockets up the ranks, Mallory struggles to keep her family safely separated from the game that wrecked it in the first place. And as her love for the sport she so desperately wanted to hate begins to rekindle, Mallory quickly realizes that the games aren't only on the board, the spotlight is brighter than she imagined, and the competition can be fierce (-ly attractive. And intelligent...and infuriating...)

Isotop – Walid khaldi
ملحمة الجزائر الكبرى – عبد العزيز شبين
هذا ختام مقطع من مقاطع هذه الإلياذة التي سحرتني فانجذبت إلى سحرها، ولم تكن المقدمة إلا منها وإليها، إلياذة الجزائر وتاريخها وأغنيتها ونشيدها ونجواها وفحواها وفخرها.
ونشيد أدب العرب الفرد في نسيجها وفحواها وعمق حكمتها البالغة، فسبحان من سوى لسان مؤلفها، وخلق قلبه ليفيض بها نشيداً وغناء وفنا، نهنئ صاحبها والجزائر والعرب بهذه الخريدة الفريدة التي حقًا فُجِئْتُ بها، وكنت أظن أن الجزائر خَلَتْ في زمني هذا من مثل هذا الشعر الملحمي التاريخي... إنه في ظاهره شاعر، ولكنه فيلسوف، تكمن في شعره فلسفته، ولا يدركها . إلا صاحبها، يتحدث عن العدم والوجود، وعن الأزل والأبد، وعن الحداثة ...
كلمني عبد العزيز فأدركت دماثة خلقه، وعظيم كلماته وتواضعه.... إن هذه الإلياذة شعر يصدر عن حب وحزن، ولا يصدر الشعر الحقيقي إلا عن حب أو بغض، وهذا الذي نسجه عبد العزيز، فاض عن حب وعشق لوطنه، وبغض شديد الأعداء الوطن وخائنيه ومغتصبيه من الوحوش والاستبداد والفساد.
