Love—and the inevitable heartbreak—is the last thing she wants. So she fibs and says her latest set up was a success. Darcy doesn’t expect her lie to bite her in the ass.<br/>Elle Jones, one of the astrologers behind the popular Twitter account Oh My Stars, dreams of finding her soul mate.

When Darcy’s brother—and Elle's new business partner—expresses how happy he is that they hit it off, Elle is baffled. Was Darcy on the same date? Because... awkward.<br/>Darcy begs Elle to play along and she agrees to pretend they’re dating. But with a few conditions: Darcy must help Elle navigate her own overbearing family during the holidays and their arrangement expires on New Year’s Eve. The last thing they expect is to develop real feelings during a faux relationship. But maybe opposites can attract when true love is written in the stars?<br/>"Everything I want from a rom-com: fun, whimsical, sexy." – Talia Hibbert, USA Today bestselling author of Get a Life, Chloe Brown

Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike

Phil Knight • 2016

In this instant and tenacious New York Times bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight “offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh” (Booklist, starred review), illuminating his company’s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world’s most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands. Bill Gates named Shoe Dog one of his five favorite books of the year and called it “an amazing tale, a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It’s a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey, riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. Phil Knight opens up in ways few CEOs are willing to do.” Fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car in 1963, Knight grossed eight thousand dollars that first year. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In this age of start-ups, Knight’s Nike is the gold standard, and its swoosh is one of the few icons instantly recognized in every corner of the world. But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. In Shoe Dog, he tells his story at last. At twenty-four, Knight decides that rather than work for a big corporation, he will create something all his own, new, dynamic, different. He details the many risks he encountered, the crushing setbacks, the ruthless competitors and hostile bankers—as well as his many thrilling triumphs. Above all, he recalls the relationships that formed the heart and soul of Nike, with his former track coach, the irascible and charismatic Bill Bowerman, and with his first employees, a ragtag group of misfits and savants who quickly became a band of swoosh-crazed brothers. Together, harnessing the electrifying power of a bold vision and a shared belief in the transformative power of sports, they created a brand—and a culture—that changed everything.

Desde Soulcial ¿con amor?

Iria G. Parente • 2022

Una app diseñada para encontrar a tu alma gemela. Tres personas metidas en ella por distintos motivos. Y un algoritmo que las unirá... o las mantendrá alejadas. Cuando a Inma le encargan hacer un reportaje sobre Soulcial, sabe que va a ser una tortura. Y que en su primera cita en la aplicación le den plantón no es un comienzo muy prometedor. Aunque gracias a eso conoce a Kat. Soulcial no las recomienda, pero eso no impide que se atraigan desde el primer momento, lo cual sería perfecto si no fuera porque Kat tiene una norma: nunca quedar dos veces con la misma chica, así nadie te rompe el corazón. Esa norma no la comparte Oliver, que se inscribe buscando el amor verdadero. Y lo encuentra: Soulcial considera que Inma y él tienen un 99% de compatibilidad. Son, sin duda, almas gemelas. Pero el amor rara vez es una ciencia exacta, ¿verdad?

And maybe he tries too hard to fit the part of asshole playboy, but it’s better than the alternative; in his line of work, gay is the punchline of an insult, not something he can be.<br/>Eighteen-year-old vlogger Elijah Rodriguez is a freshman in college recovering from an injury that derailed his Olympic figure-skating dreams. Mixed-race, disabled, and out of the closet since he was fourteen, Eli is unapologetically himself.

But navigating relationships is hard enough for normal teenagers. It’s a lot harder when the world—much of it disapproving—is watching you fall in love with your best friend.

A charming YA rom-com perfect for fans of Red, White, and Royal Blue and What If It’s Us.   Micah Summers runs a popular Instagram full of drawings of his numerous imaginary boyfriends (ninety-nine so far)—though he's never had a real boyfriend before. But when a meet-cute with Boy 100 goes wrong, Micah embarks on a Prince Charming-like quest throughout Chicago to find true love—for real this time. Will Boy 100 be the One?   Micah is rich, dreamy, and charming. As the “Prince of Chicago,”—the son of local celebrity sports radio host known as the King of Chicago—he has everything going for him. Unfortunately, he’s also the prince of imaginary meet-cutes, since he’s too nervous to actually ask boys out.   Instead, Micah draws each crush to share on Instagram with a post about their imaginary dates. Ninety-nine “boyfriends” later, his account is hugely popular, and everyone is eagerly awaiting Boy 100. So is Micah. He’s determined that Boy 100 will be different. This time, Micah will sweep the boy off his feet, for real!   So when Micah flirts with a hot boy on the L who’s wearing a vegan leather jacket and lugging a ton of library books, he is sure this is Boy 100. But right before he can make his move and ask for the boy’s number, the guy rushes off the train, leaving behind his pumpkin-embroidered jacket. The jacket holds clues to the boy’s identity, so Micah and his friends set off on a quest to return it. Along the way, Micah will discover that the best relationships aren’t fairy tales. In fact, the perfect fit—and true love—might be closer than he thinks.

A feel-good queer romantic comedy that New York Times and USA Today bestselling author CHRISTINA LAUREN calls "hilarious, witty, tender, and stunning." Luc needs a fake boyfriend. Oliver needs a date. It's the perfect plan… until real feelings get involved. Luc O'Donnell is a certified disaster. Tabloid drama, a wayward rock-star dad, and a trail of messy relationships have left his public image in ruins. The fix? A staged romance with the most respectable man he knows: Oliver Blackwood—uptight, principled, and infuriatingly perfect. It's supposed to be fake. Neither of them expects the awkward photo ops and staged brunches to turn into something that feels real. But as the lines blur, and secrets slip through carefully built walls, Luc must face the question he's always avoided: what if someone could love him—exactly as he is? You'll love its brilliantly British rom-com voice, full of sharp humor and emotional vulnerability and authentic LGBTQIA+ representation. It's perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and The Charm Offensive, with its grumpy/sunshine dynamics and slow-burn chemistry. "It's a fun, frothy quintessentially British romcom about a certified chaos demon and a stern brunch daddy with a heart of gold faking a relationship."—New York Times bestselling author Talia Hibbert AMAZON BEST BOOK OF THE MONTH Named a best book of the year by Oprah Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Goodreads, The Washington Post, and more!

“Riveting, heart-wrenching, and full of Old Hollywood glamour, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of the most captivating reads of 2017.” —BuzzFeed<br/><br/>“The epic adventures Evelyn creates over the course of a lifetime will leave every reader mesmerized. This wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet and her tumultuous Tinseltown journey comes with unexpected twists and the most satisfying of drama.” —PopSugar<br/><br/>In this entrancing novel “that speaks to the Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor in us all” (Kirkus Reviews), a legendary film actress reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.<br/><br/>Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?<br/><br/>Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.<br/><br/>Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.<br/><br/>“Heartbreaking, yet beautiful” (Jamie Blynn, Us Weekly), The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is “Tinseltown drama at its finest” (Redbook): a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means—and what it costs—to face the truth.

Anne sin filtros

Iria G. Parente • 2021

Anne Shirley nació para contar historias.<br/>Quizás haya llegado el momento de atreverse a vivir la suya.<br/>Anne Shirley siempre ha soñado con ser escritora y, aunque nadie lo sepa, lo es: online, la conocen como Lady Cordelia y sus fanfics sobre El caballero del espejo, una serie de televisión sobre leyendas artúricas, son de los más aclamados por el fandom. Solo Diana, su mejor amiga, artista y colaboradora, conoce su secreto.<br/>Al menos hasta que aparece Blythe, un nuevo autor de fanfiction que no tarda en superar el récord de lecturas de Anne y que, para colmo, no tiene ningún reparo en mostrar su verdadera identidad. Gilbert Blythe es tan encantador como irritante, y desafiará a Anne a enfrentarse a sus inseguridades y a sus sentimientos, tanto por él como por su amiga Diana.<br/>Pero... cuando te atreves a mostrarte sin filtros, tal como eres, puede ocurrir cualquier cosa.<br/>Reseñas:<br/>«Una historia llena de ternura sobre la amistad, el amor y las primeras veces».<br/>Alice Kellen, autora de Todo lo que nunca fuimos y Nosotros en la luna<br/>«Iria y Selene han conseguido una versión contemporánea de Ana de las Tejas Verdes que capta la personalidad de todos los personajes con una precisión y una sensibilidad extraordinarias».<br/>Andrea Smith, autora de Mi plan D.
