Ada Howard, the wife of the preacher at Nashville's Full Love Baptist Tabernacle, has a whole lot of people to take care of. There's her husband, of course, and the flock that comes with him, plus the kids at the day care centre where she works, two grown daughters, and two ailing, wayward parents. It's no wonder she can't find time to take care of herself. And her husband's been so busy lately she's suspicious some other woman may be taking care of him... Then it comes: the announcement of her twenty-five-year college reunion in twelve months' time, signed with a wink by her old campus flame. It sets Ada thinking about the thrills of young love lost, and the hundred or so pounds gained since her college days, and she decides it's high time to change her body, and her life. So she starts laying down some rules. The first rule is: Don't Keep Doing What You've Always Been Doing. And so begins her unforgettable journey on the way to less weight and more love... For anyone who has ever found themselves at a crossroads, with one hand in their pocket and the other in the cookie jar, Ada's Rules is a warm, funny and soulfully wise novel about falling back in love with the life you have.

Dance of Shadows	Bloomsbury Publishing
Автор: Black Yelena Издательство: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2013	DOC, 368 страниц, 1.00 МБ 7 Оценка:
Dancing with someone is an act of trust. Elegant and intimate; you're close enough to kiss, close enough to feel your partner's heartbeat. But for Vanessa, dance is deadly — and she must be very careful who she trusts... Vanessa Adler attends an elite ballet school — the same one her older sister, Margaret, attended before she disappeared. Vanessa feels she can never live up to her sister's shining reputation. But Vanessa, with her glorious red hair and fair skin, has a kind of power when she dances — she loses herself in the music, breathes different air, and the world around her turns to flames... Soon she attracts the attention of three men: gorgeous Zep, mysterious Josh, and the great, enigmatic choreographer Josef Zhalkovsky. When Josef asks Vanessa to dance the lead in the Firebird, she has little idea of the danger that lies ahead — and the burning forces about to be unleashed...

The Great Survivors	Bloomsbury Publishing
Автор: Conradi Peter J. Издательство: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2013	PDF, 383 страницы, 11.49 МБ 5 Оценка:
At a time when Western society appears to be demanding more equality and democracy, people's fascination with monarchies shows no signs of waning. Taking the reader on a journey between past and present, into a world populated by great celebrities such as Wallis Simpson, Grace Kelly and Princess Diana, as well as lesser-known and slightly murkier aristocratic figures, The Great Survivors analyses the reasons behind this anachronistic paradox by looking at the history of the main European dynasties and providing a keyhole glimpse into their world, their lives and their secrets.

Years later, still bruised with grief but desperate to move on with her life, she impulsively kisses her colleague Marcus. For Natalie, the kiss is just a gratuitous act.

Austenland	Bloomsbury Publishing
Автор: Hale Shannon Издательство: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2013	PDF, 208 страниц, 6.24 МБ 7 Оценка:
Jane is a young New York woman who can never seem to find the right man-perhaps because of her secret obsession with Mr. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Predjudice. When a wealthy relative bequeaths her a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-obsessed women, however, Jane's fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become more real than she ever could have imagined. Is this total immersion in a fake Austenland enough to make Jane kick the Austen obsession for good, or could all her dreams actually culminate in a Mr. Darcy of her own?

And the Mountains Echoed	Bloomsbury Publishing
Автор: Hosseini Khaled Издательство: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2013	DOC, 416 страниц, 1.00 МБ 0 Оценка:
«And the Mountains Echoed is a deeply moving new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another and how the choices we make resonate through history. A multi-generational family story revolving around brothers and sisters, it explores the ways in which they love, wound, betray, honour and sacrifice for each other. With profound wisdom, depth, insight and compassion — and moving from Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos — Hosseini writes about the bonds that define us and shape our lives, the ways that we help our loved ones in need and how we are often surprised by the people closest to us. Khaled Hosseini, author of the global bestsellers «The Kite Runner» and «A Thousand Splendid Suns», has spent six years writing «And the Mountains Echoed», which Bloomsbury editor-in-chief Alexandra Pringle describes as 'a big book in every sense of the word. He has told half a century of history, of a land and a people, through so many different characters, all of whom the reader loves and cares for'.»

Mrs Robinson's Disgrace: The Private Diary of a Victorian Lady	Bloomsbury Publishing
Автор: Summerscale Kate Издательство: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2013	PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ 8 Оценка:
On a winter's evening in 1850, Isabella Robinson set out for a party in Edinburgh's New Town. The rich widow Lady Drysdale was a vivacious hostess, the centre of an energetic intellectual scene. In the high, airy drawing rooms Isabella was at once enchanted by Lady Drysdale's handsome son-in-law, Edward Lane. He was 'fascinating', she told her diary, before chastising herself for being so susceptible to a man's charms...In a compelling story of romance, fidelity, fantasy and the bounds of privacy, Kate Summerscale brings vividly to life a frustrated Victorian wife's longing for passion and learning, companionship and love, in a society clinging to rigid ideas about marriage and female sexuality.

Ghosts of Empire: Britain's Legacies in the Modern World	Bloomsbury Publishing
Автор: Kwarteng Kwasi Издательство: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2012	PDF, 480 страниц, 14.40 МБ 8 Оценка:
The British Empire was the creation of a tremendous outpouring of energy and opportunism, when the British were at their most self-confident, and the wealth they gathered was prodigious. At its heart lay a sense of the rectitude of the British way of life, meted out to vast swathes of the rest of the world without let or hindrance. Yet, as this book shows, the empire was not formed by coherent policy, and its decline reflected this: its later years were characterised by a series of accidental oversights, decisions taken without due consideration for the consequences, and uncertain pragmatism. Many of the world's trouble spots are those left behind by the chaotic retreat of empire, and its ghosts continue to haunt today's international scene. The problems the empire encountered have still not been resolved and in Iraq, Kashmir, Burma, Sudan, Nigeria and Hong Kong new difficulties have arisen which continue to baffle politicians and diplomats. This powerful new book addresses the realities of the British Empire from its inception to its demise, questioning the nature of its glory and cataloguing both the inadequacies of its ideals and the short-termism of its actions.

The Comic Strip History of Space	Bloomsbury Publishing
Автор: Turner Tracey Издательство: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2009	PDF, 96 страниц, 2.88 МБ 0 Оценка:
Mankind has always been fascinated by space — prehistoric man built temples to honour the moon and sun, early civilisations developed theories about what went on up there, and scientists and philosophers from Pythagoras to Copernicus have been drawn to it ever since. Our obsession has led us in to space itself. Not to mention the numerous amazing books, films and UFO 'experiences'. Everything there is to know about space is here. With pictures. It's very very funny. And, of course, supremely edifying.Written by Tracey Turner (101 Things) and illustrated by celebrated cartoonist Sally Kindberg.
