Lucky Wreck – Poems
The poems in Lucky Wreck trace the excitement of plans and the necessary swerving detours we must take when those plans fail. Looking to shipwrecks on the television, road trips ending in traffic accidents, and homes that become sites of infestation, Ada Limón finds threads of hope amid an array of small tragedies and significant setbacks. Open, honest, and grounded, the poems in this collection seek answers to familiar questions and teach us ways to cope with the pain of many losses with earnestness and humor. Through the wrecks, these poems continue to offer assurance. This darkness is not the scary one, it’s the one before the sun comes up, the one you can still breathe in. Celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of Limón’s award-winning debut, this edition includes a new introduction by the poet that reflects on the book and on how her writing practice has developed over time.

Hooked On You
Pre-order the next book from the author of Love Overboard now! Ore has (almost) landed her dream job as an investigative reporter for the New Yorker. There's only one catch - they'll only give her the job if she can get the scoop on working for the elusive billionaire Harrison Marigold. To write the article, she's got to spend two weeks on his luxury yacht off the coast of Australia, and convince the crew to spill the beans. Daniel has (almost) landed his dream job as captain of a super yacht down under. There's only one catch - he has to take one last job, chartering a yacht for an eccentric billionaire, and making sure an unfairly beautiful journalist doesn't distract his crew from their work. But making sure Ore doesn't sink his chances of staying on course by sea-ducing his crew turns into a much harder job than Daniel expected. Ore's also finding her assignment more difficult than she ever thought, thanks to the crew's loyalty to Captain Daniel, but also, the waves of attraction towards him that keep crashing over her. Readers love Ada's yacht romcoms! 'Wonderful. Read it!' NetGalley reviewer 'Perfect for reading by the pool or on the beach. A must read!'

Drömmar Till Salu
Författaren släpper mästerligt precis så mycket information i varje parallellberättelse att läsaren hålls trollbunden. Vi får fundera och gråta, längta efter loppisfynd och målarpenslar, i denna ytterst välskrivna debutroman. Westers förmåga att målande och äkta beskriva djupet i sann vänskap som varken tid eller rum kan rubba, är livgivande. Helhetsbetyg: 5, BTJ Sörmländska loppisdrömmar i charmig feelgood. Vad gör man om man ärver ett hus i en sörmländsk byhåla? Renoverar och säljer med vinst, förstås. Så tänker åtminstone Anni när hon plötsligt blir ägare till sin farmor Esters gamla hus i Stjärnhov. Anni räknar ut att om hon tillbringar sommaren med att måla och fixa, så kan hon sälja till hösten och äntligen köpa en lägenhet i stan. Huset är dessutom fullt av fina femtiotalsmöbler och bygden är full av loppisar, så Anni startar Instagramkontot Drömmar till salu, där hon säljer retromöbler och visar upp sitt underbara liv på landet. Men är det så underbart? Snarare ganska ensamt, trots att mer än en kille dyker upp i trädgården. Sextiofem år tidigare flyttar Ester till samma hus, sjutton år gammal och gravid. Vad hände egentligen från uppväxten på gården utanför Stjärnhov och lärarinnestudierna i Stockholm, till att hon blev på det viset? Vem är det som är far till barnet, och varför vägrar Ester att yppa det för en endaste själ? Drömmar till salu är en roman om kärlek till ett hus, till gamla ting, till den man alltid har älskat och aldrig kommer att glömma. Det är en berättelse om två unga kvinnor i två tider som söker sin väg i livet, och kommer till samma plats. Hem.Varmt, hjärteknipande och med en gåta som gör läsningen till en riktig bladvändare!
