NOVEDADES

Madeline has always been extremely close to her family, so she is shocked when her older brother gets engaged without including them (or even giving them a heads up!). Mads has never been the biggest fan of his fiancée, Katie, so in order to remain one happy family, she is determined to bond with Katie before the big day, which includes reluctantly agreeing to be a bridesmaid. During a late-night bridesmaids-only game of "Truth or Dare" Mads is cornered into revealing she has never been kissed or even been on a date, which spurs the other girls to unite on a quest to find Mads the perfect plus-one for the wedding. Next thing she knows she's navigating a series of disastrous dates that include some major misunderstandings and mishaps. All of a sudden Mads finds her heart tugged in different directions: to Connor, the boy next door who knows her best. To Marco, the former classmate who knows how to push all her buttons. And to some of the new suitors who surprisingly aren't all bad. As the wedding draws nearer, Mads has to figure out who she wants most as a dance partner, while also making sure her brother isn't making the biggest mistake of his life.

Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont. Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar's depth to this riveting tale of magic and suspense.

A shield maiden fights to break the shackles of prophecy-and to overcome the betrayal of the man who broke her heart-in this searing conclusion to the Norse-inspired fantasy romance duology that began with the bestselling "A Fate Inked in Blood".

Hay etapas en la vida que parece que todo se desmorona, que el mundo que construiste se derrumba como si fuera un castillo de naipes, o un castillo en la arena que un pequeño soplo de viento destruye y elimina sin piedad. En esos momentos en que crees que la adversidad te acompaña, entras en la «noche oscura del alma», pero en realidad es tu gran oportunidad para resucitar, para trascender y para resurgir de tus propias cenizas, como el ave fénix. Esa metamorfosis que transforma al gusano en mariposa, es la apertura de tu corazón. Te reconoces como el alquimista que eres y a corazón abierto, te elevas hacia otras octavas de conciencia donde te esperan nuevas enseñanzas, nuevas oportunidades, más allá de las leyendas y la magia. Justo entonces aparecerá en tu vida Merlín, no el mago, sino el alquimista, para entregarte las llaves del reino de Ávalon, no el de las leyendas, sino el de la Ávalon Esencial. ¡Atrévete!

Blazek’s blend of traditional and contemporary design along with personal and custom touches results in the type of inviting and livable spaces that we all aspire to.

El Hua Hu Ching es la recopilación de 81 enseñanzas orales taoístas ―el mismo número que en el Tao Te Ching― que la tradición también atribuye a Lao Tse. En la etapa de luchas políticas en China durante el siglo XIV, este libro fue prohibido y quemados los ejemplares existentes. Afortunadamente, la práctica taoísta, basada en la transmisión oral de sus enseñanzas, permitió que el maestro Ni Hua-Ching las reprodujera después de su salida de China en 1976, colaborando en su posterior redacción y traducción, evitando así que se perdieran para siempre. En relación con su contenido, este se refiere al logro de la iluminación, la maestría y la paz de espíritu, transmitiendo su mensaje una enorme autoridad que revela el más puro origen taoísta.
