All I Want is You: Poppy Furlong has the dream life: gorgeous home, loving family, expensive car, gym membership. Then overnight she loses it all - her husband's business partner has disappeared with the company profits. As she attempts to rebuild her family, Poppy leaves Dublin for the suburbs. There she acquires a mother-in-law from hell, a father she hardly knows, a new job, a new friend, a better insight into parenting and a new life. Will it match up to the old one? Or might it just be better? Wish Upon a Star: When Lucy fell pregnant, her world was turned upside-down. While she loves her daughter Fáinne with all her heart, she didn't quite imagine her life would feel over at the age of twenty-eight. And now, Fáinne wants to get to know her father - only Lucy never told him that she was pregnant. So, against the advice of her best friends and her doom-laden mother, Lucy begins the search to trace the boy she has tried so hard to forget . . .

Eve Cole loves her small apartment in Dublin's city centre. It might come with the noisy Party People downstairs and Larry, the handsome and charming ex-con next door, but the floor-to-ceiling windows make it perfect for her job painting fake masterpieces: Renoirs, Picassos, and especially Van Goghs. And she's good at it. Maybe too good. When eleven million euro appears in her mother's bank account, it turns out that Eve's been unwittingly involved in one of the greatest art frauds in history. Now she has to figure out a plan to get her painting back and return the money, without implicating herself or her family. Enter neighbour Larry. Even though he's turned his back on his shady past, he's the only one who might be able to help her. Will Eve get her painting back? Or is Larry just another fake? Eve's also about to find out that in love, as well as art, the trick is knowing when it's the real deal.

Sometimes, to be a good adult you need to rediscover the child inside ...

1) Lee Child: 61 hodin - Bývalý vojenský policista a známý tulák Jack Reacher rád bere spravedlnost do vlastních rukou. Tentokrát ho náhoda zavedla do zapomenutého města v Jižní Dakotě, kde právě udeřily kruté mrazy a vládne tu i jistý neklid. Brzy se ukáže, že za hranicemi města číhá vrah. 2) Martina Reillyová: Seznam přání - Dvanáctiletý Mark je plný pochybností a přeje si, aby všechno bylo jako dřív a mohli žít s mámou, tátou a bratrem jako šťastná rodina. Jenže se cosi zadrhlo. Mark si vezme do hlavy, že jejich bručounský soused Jeremy je Santa Claus, a jednoho dne mu doručí svůj seznam přání. 3) Michael Ridpath: Kde se snoubí šero se šerem - Napůl Islanďan, napůl Američan – detektiv Magnus Jonson je z domovského Bostonu vyslán na syrově malebný Island, aby tamní policii pomáhal s vyšetřováním závažnější kriminality. Čekají to tu hned tři vraždy a všechny zřejmě souvisejí s nálezem osm set let staré ságy. 4) Sarah Addison Allenová: O dívce, která chytala měsíc - Vítejte v Mullaby, pitoreskním jižanském městečku v Jižní Karolíně, kde žije muž tak vysoký, že dohlédne za obzor, a kde existují rodinná tajemství, za nimiž stojí… snad jen kouzla. Když se sem ke svému dědečkovi přistěhuje mladá Emily Benedictová, nestačí valit oči.

Jack Reacher má namierené na svoje staré vojenské veliteľstvo do Virgínie, aby sa tam stretol so súčasnou veliteľkou, majorkou Susan Turnerovou, ktorej sympatický hlas počul v telefóne a rozhodol sa, že ju pozve na večeru. Keď však dorazí na miesto, situácia sa dosť skomplikuje. Junina kariéra v bankovníctve sa skvelo vyvíja. Je špecialistkou na likvidáciu podnikov, ktoré sa ocitli na pokraji bankrotu. Aké bude však jej prekvapenie, keď sama jeden taký podnik zdedí. Prateta Ruth jej odkáže útulné detské kníhkupectvo v Seattli, ktoré sa topí v dlhoch. Prekrásnu tvár herečky Katie Quinnovej pozná celý svet. Lenže život na vrchole nie je vždy taký, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá. Za nablýskanou fasádou sa Katin život rúca: nevhodní muži, zrady, drogy – to všetko si vyberá svoju daň. Dá sa zabudnúť na minulosť a začať znovu? Antarktída je najosamelejšie a najizolovanejšie miesto na svete. Pre glaciológa Luka Searla je tento kontinent už niekoľko rokov domovom. Jeho schopnosť prežiť v extrémnych podmienkach bude však čoskoro vystavená tvrdej skúške. Biely svetadiel čelí nebezpečnému útoku.
