Ashley Poston Knihy

Po najgorszym dniu v svojom živote treba vymyslieť, ako ďalej žiť. Clementine si zostaví plán, ktorý má chrániť jej srdce: byť zaneprázdnená, tvrdo pracovať, zamilovať sa do niekoho milého a pamätať na to, aby sa snažila siahnuť po hviezdach. To posledné je metaforické, ale jej teta vždy hovorila, že každý musí mať aspoň jedno veľké prianie, ktoré ho bude poháňať. Po celý rok sa tento plán osvedčil, takmer dokonale. Avšak časť o láske je ťažká na realizáciu, pretože Clementine sa nechce príliš zblížiť - nie je si istá, či by jej srdce zvládlo takú blízkosť. A potom v byte zosnulej tety objaví neznámeho muža. Muža s láskyplným pohľadom, južanským prízvukom a záľubou v citrónovom koláči. Muža, do ktorého by sa predtým zamilovala bezhlavo. Možno by to stále bolo možné, lenže on žije v minulosti, sedem rokov dozadu. A ona, celkom doslovne, je jeho budúcnosťou. Teta vždy hovorila, že tento byt je miestom, kde sa chvíle spájajú ako akvarely. A dievča vie, že ak sa dovolí zamilovať, skončí to pre ňu len utrpením. Pretože láska nikdy nie je otázkou času, ale otázkou zladenia sa v čase.

Eileen, profesorka literatúry, milujúca šťastné konce a fiktívnych mužov (ktorí ju aspoň nenechajú stáť pred oltárom) sa už nevie dočkať tohoročného stretnutia svojho čitateľského klubu. Dobrí priatelia, lacné víno a veľké romantické gestá – to je presne to, čo teraz potrebuje. Keď sa jej po ceste pokazí auto, nečakane sa ocitne v neznámom mestečku, ktoré vyzerá úplne ako vystrihnuté z románu. To preto, že aj je. Eloraton je mestečko, kde sú karamelky v cukrárni vždy sladučké, burgre v lokálnom bistre trochu pripálené a dážď sa spustí vždy až popoludní. Skrátka dokonalé miesto pre Eileen – lenže aj dokonale zamrznuté v čase, uväznené v nedokončenom príbehu zosnulej autorky. Keď sa Eileen rozhodne vziať osud mestečka do vlastných rúk a priviesť ho do šťastného konca, narazí na odpor jedného obzvlášť nevrlého a mimoriadne príťažlivého majiteľa kníhkupectva, ktorý jej z nejakého dôvodu nechce dovoliť tento príbeh dokončiť...

Milostný, duchařský román o spisovatelce Florence, která se na vlastní kůži přesvědčí o existenci lásky až za hrob. Florence Dayová je stínovou spisovatelkou, která má velký problém. Má psát milostné romány za slavnou autorku romantických knížek, ale po zdrcujícím rozchodu přestala věřit na lásku. Pak ale udeří tragédie; Florence se musí naléhavě vrátit domů - a to poslední, co čeká, je, že se u jejích dveří objeví duch. A ne jen tak ledajaký. V celé své upjaté kráse se jí začne zjevovat přízrak jejího nového redaktora, který je pořád hrozně sexy, ale taky nepochybně velmi mrtvý. Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.

Před půl rokem prožila Clementine Westová nejhorší den svého života, když ztratila milovanou tetu. Vymyslela proto plán, jak své srdce ochránit před nebezpečím: bude jen pracovat a nebude riskovat. Bude si budovat kariéru v nakladatelství, kde možná brzy nahradí svou šéfovou, a navazovat jen nezávazné vztahy. Fungovalo to skvěle. Tedy až do chvíle, kdy se v kuchyni tetina bytu zničehonic objeví cizí muž. Muž s vlídnýma očima, rošťáckým úsměvem a receptem na nejlepší citrónový koláč. Touží se stát slavným šéfkuchařem. Je to přesně ten typ, do kterého by se před tím vším, co se stalo, mohla klidně zamilovat... K dokonalosti mu chybí jen jedno: žije v minulosti, o sedm let dříve. Clementine ví, že tetin byt je kouzelný a okamžiky se tam míchají dohromady jako vodovky. Pokud se v bytě zamiluje, ohrozí tím své křehké srdce i bezpečnou kariéru. A v lásce jde především o správné načasování. Nepřekonatelná překážka, chtělo by se říct, ale Clementine dříve nemožné výzvy přece milovala. A možná jim zase brzo přijde na chuť.

But a mix- up of their bags means that nope, Kate's life is still refusing to run smoothly. In that bag is a mysterious book that holds powerful, dangerous secrets—ones that New York City's most powerful super villain, the Kingpin, would kill to uncover. Kate finds herself on the run, searching for Milo and what he knows, texting her Super Hero besties for moral support, and trying to solve the mystery she's blundered into before she becomes the victim of her own story. Just like its main character, Kate Bishop, New York Times bestselling author Ashley Poston's Super Hero adventure doesn't miss a single shot in one of the funniest, twistiest Marvel stories ever told.

But if she can just keep her head down, then maybe she can make it through this year in Hellborne, Vermont without the town living up to its name. Of course, her plan falls apart immediately, as dead students start turning up around her, and she’s suddenly voted Most Likely To Have Murdered Them by the rest of the senior class. Oh, and the fellow new girl Tara’s crushing on? Turns out to be a witch-hunter. . . . So maybe it’s not the worst thing that Tara’s magic is majorly malfunctioning. As the body count rises, Tara has to overcome her fears, reconnect with her magic, and cast herself in a more central role to save the town—even if it means putting her new relationship at risk.

Ashley Poston, acclaimed author of Heart of Iron, returns with a dark, lush fairy tale-inspired fantasy for fans of Sara Raasch and Susan Dennard. Cerys is safe in the Kingdom of Aloriya. Here there are no droughts, disease, or famine, and peace is everlasting. It has been this way for hundreds of years, since the first king made a bargain with the Lady who ruled the forest that borders the kingdom. But as Aloriya prospered, the woods grew dark, cursed, and forbidden. Cerys knows this all too well: When she was young, she barely escaped as the woods killed her friends and her mother. Now Cerys carries a small bit of the curse--the magic--in her blood, a reminder of the day she lost everything. As a new queen is crowned, however, things long hidden in the woods descend on the kingdom itself. Cerys is forced on the run, her only companions a small and irritating fox from the royal garden and the magic in her veins. It's up to her to find the legendary Lady of the Wilds and beg for a way to save her home. But the road is darker and more dangerous than she knows, and as secrets from the past are uncovered amid the teeth and roots of the forest, it's going to take everything she has just to survive.

An enchanting YA romance from the New York Times best-selling author of The Dead Romantics. A tale as old as time is made new in Ashley Poston's fresh, geeky retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Rosie Thorne is feeling stuck-on her college application essays, in her small town, and on that mysterious General Sond cosplayer she met at ExcelsiCon. Most of all, she's stuck in her grief over her mother's death. Her only solace was her late mother's library of rare Starfield novels, but even that disappeared when they sold it to pay off hospital bills. On the other hand, Vance Reigns has been Hollywood royalty for as long as he can remember-with all the privilege and scrutiny that entails. When a tabloid scandal catches up to him, he's forced to hide out somewhere the paparazzi would never expect to find him- Small Town USA. At least there's a library in the house. Too bad he doesn't read. When Vance's and Rosie's paths collide, sparks do not fly. But as they begrudgingly get to know each other, their careful masks come off-and they may just find that there's more risk in shutting each other out than in opening their hearts.

Return to the geek-tastic world of Starfield fandom with a tale of a superstar and a superfan who swap lives in this sweet and funny companion novel to Geekerella.

Ana’s desperate effort to save D09 leads her on a quest to steal the coordinates to a lost ship that could offer all the answers.
