Unfortunately, Nora''s mother, Alice, is less than thrilled about the trip. She worries about what the future holds for her young, idealistic daughter—and her opinions haven''t gone unnoticed. Nora couldn''t feel more unsupported by her mother, and in the weeks leading up to the trip, the women are as disconnected as they''ve ever been. But seconds after saying goodbye to Alice at the airport terminal, Nora hears a voice call out: "Wait! Stop! I''m coming with you!"

Part-memoir, part-VERY long personality test, Choose Your Own Disaster is a manifesto about the millennial experience and modern feminism and how the easy advice of "you can be anything you want!" is actually pretty fucking difficult when there are so many possible versions of yourself it seems like you could be. Dana has no idea who she is, but at least she knows she''s a Carrie, a Ravenclaw, a Raphael, a Belle, a former emo kid, a Twitter addict, and a millennial just trying her best. This long-form personality quiz manages to combine humor with unflinching honesty as one young woman tries to find herself amid the many, many choices that your twenties have to offer.

*INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *INSTANT #1 INDIE BESTSELLER* *INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER* *A REESE''S YA BOOK CLUB PICK* "Schwartz''s magical novel is at once gripping and tender, and the intricate plot is engrossing as the reader tries to solve the mystery. She doesn''t miss a beat in either the characterization or action, scattering clues with a delicate, precise hand. This is, in the end, the story of the anatomy of the human heart." - Booklist (starred review) Dana Schwartz’s Anatomy: A Love Story is a gothic tale full of mystery and romance. Hazel Sinnett is a lady who wants to be a surgeon more than she wants to marry. Jack Currer is a resurrection man who’s just trying to survive in a city where it’s too easy to die. When the two of them have a chance encounter outside the Edinburgh Anatomist’s Society, Hazel thinks nothing of it at first. But after she gets kicked out of renowned surgeon Dr. Beecham’s lectures for being the wrong gender, she realizes that her new acquaintance might be more helpful than she first thought. Because Hazel has made a deal with Dr. Beecham: if she can pass the medical examination on her own, Beecham will allow her to continue her medical career. Without official lessons, though, Hazel will need more than just her books—she’ll need corpses to study. Lucky that she’s made the acquaintance of someone who digs them up for a living. But Jack has his own problems: strange men have been seen skulking around cemeteries, his friends are disappearing off the streets, and the dreaded Roman Fever, which wiped out thousands a few years ago, is back with a vengeance. Nobody important cares—until Hazel. Now, Hazel and Jack must work together to uncover the secrets buried not just in unmarked graves, but in the very heart of Edinburgh society.

The White Man''s Guide to White Male Writers of the Western Canon is a hilarious exploration of the literary world from Dana Schwartz, aka @GuyInYour MFA. Illustrations by Jason Adam Katzenstein How do you use ‘taraddidle’ in a sentence? Is it possible to make a Gin Ricky that’s also a metaphor for the American Dream? How can you tell your Faulkner from your Franzen if you haven’t actually read either? Allow me, the @GuyInYourMFA, to expound on the most important (aka white male) writers of western literature. You’ve probably seen me around, observing the masses, or defying the wind by hand-rolling a cigarette outside a local, fair-trade coffee shop. I’ve actually read Infinite Jest nine and a half times. Care to discuss? From Shakespeare''s greatest mystery (how could a working-class man without access to an MFA program be so prolific?) to the true meaning of Kafkaesque (you know you''ve made it when you have an adjective named for you), the pages herewith are at once profound and practical. Use my ingenious Venn diagram to test your knowledge of which Jonathan—Franzen, Lethem, or Safran Foer—hates Twitter and lives in Brooklyn. (Trick question: all three!) Sneer at chick-lit and drink Mojitos like Hemingway (not like middle-aged divorcées!). So instead of politely nodding along next time you make an acquaintance at a housewarming party in Brooklyn, you can roll up your sleeves and get to work schooling them in character arcs and the experimental form of your next great American novel. Dazzle your friends with how well you understand post-modernism. You’ll be at a literary event asking a question “that’s really more of a comment” in no time.

Kontynuacja bestsellerowej powieści „Anatomia. Love story”! Hazel Sinnett jest samotna i niemal przekonana, że wydarzenia sprzed roku – a także eliksir nieśmiertelności doktora Beechama– były wytworem jej wyobraźni. Nie wie, czy Jack żyje, czy nie. Jedyne, co może teraz zrobić, to leczyć kolejne osoby i utrzymywać zamek Hawthornden, który zaczyna popadać w ruinę. Kiedy próba uratowania pacjenta doprowadza do jej aresztowania, dziewczyna sądzi, że resztę życia spędzi w więzieniu, dopóki nie przychodzi niecodzienna wiadomość: została poproszona o bycie osobistą lekarką księżniczki Charlotte, wnuczki króla Jerzego III. Stawka jest wysoka, bo jeśli Hazel nie podejmie odpowiedniego leczenia i nie odkryje prawdziwej przyczyny choroby, zostanie odesłana z powrotem do więzienia. Wkrótce zostaje wciągnięta w intrygi królewskiego dworu, gdzie każdy ma coś do ukrycia, zwłaszcza enigmatyczni, błyskotliwi członkowie sekretnego klubu.

Na królewskim dworze działają złowieszcze siły, a najprawdopodobniej tylko ona może być zdolna do naprawienia sytuacji.

Bestseller New York Times și USA Today "O carte care m-a cucerit! Scoția anilor 1800. Povestea unei tinere ambițioase care învață de una singură pentru a deveni chirurg, o meserie de neconceput pentru o femeie. Hazel se luptă împotriva prejudecăților și a constrângerilor sociale pentru a-și realiza visul. O să vi se dezvăluie secrete ciudate, o să vă încânte aventurile stranii din care este țesută această ficțiune istorică. Mi-a plăcut fiecare pagină!" – Reese Witherspoon Hazel Sinnett este o tânără aristocrată mai dornică să devină chirurg decât să se mărite. Jack Currer este un recuperator de cadavre care încearcă să supraviețuiască într-un oraș unde e foarte ușor să mori. Cei doi se întâlnesc întâmplător în Edinburgh, însă Hazel își dă seama de importanța întâlnirii abia după ce e dată afară de la cursurile renumitului doctor Beecham, pentru simplul motiv că e femeie… O poveste gotică plină de mister, intrigă și romantism.

Mult așteptata continuare a romance-ului gotic Anatomie. O poveste de iubire Hazel Sinnett este singură și pe jumătate convinsă că evenimentele din anul precedent – nemurirea, fiola lui Beecham – au fost o născocire a propriei imaginații. Ea nici măcar nu știe dacă Jack este viu sau mort. Tot ceea ce poate face acum este să-și trateze pacienții și să se ocupe de întreținerea Castelului Hawthornden, care se degradează pe zi ce trece. Când salvarea unei vieți duce la arestarea sa, Hazel pare sortită să putrezească în închisoare – până la apariția unui mesaj: i se cere să fie medicul personal al Prințesei Charlotte, nepoata bolnavă a regelui George al III-lea. Curând, Hazel este atrasă de farmecul și romantismul de la palat, unde toată lumea are ceva de ascuns – în special membrii enigmatici și geniali ai clubului cunoscut sub numele de Companionii Morții. Pe măsură ce munca o leagă tot mai mult de curtea britanică, Hazel realizează că viitorul său ca medic chirurg nu este unica miză pentru ea. Forțe malefice acționează în interiorul monarhiei, iar Hazel poate fi singura capabilă să îndrepte lucrurile.

L''attesissimo seguito del bestseller gotico anatomy: una storia d''amore. Hazel Sinnett è sola e si sta convincendo che quanto accaduto nell''ultimo anno - l''immortalità, la fiala del dottor Beecham - sia solo frutto della sua immaginazione. Non sa neppure se Jack sia vivo o morto. Tutto ciò che può fare ora è dedicarsi ai suoi pazienti e mantenere l''ormai decadente castello di Hawthornden. Quando viene arrestata per aver salvato una vita, sembra destinata al patibolo finché non giunge un''inaspettata richiesta: è chiamata a ricoprire l''incarico di medico personale della principessa Carlotta, la nipote dalla salute precaria di re Giorgio III. E così Hazel si trova catapultata nella mondana e fascinosa aristocrazia londinese, un ambiente in cui tutti hanno qualcosa da nascondere, e più di chiunque gli enigmatici e astuti intellettuali noti come Compagni della Morte. Più il lavoro la porta a stretto contatto con la monarchia britannica, più lei si rende conto che a essere a rischio non è solo il suo futuro di chirurgo. Forze malvagie tramano nell''ombra e Hazel potrebbe essere l''unica persona in grado di sistemare le cose.
