Days at the Torunka Cafe
From the internationally bestselling author of the Morisaki Bookshop novels comes a charming and poignant story set at a quiet Tokyo café where customers find unexpected connection and experience everyday miracles.

Tucked away on a narrow side street in Tokyo is the Torunka Café, a neighborhood nook where the passersby are as likely to be local cats as tourists. Its regulars include Chinatsu Yukimura, a mysterious young woman who always leaves behind a napkin folded into the shape of a ballerina; Hiroyuki Numata, a middle-aged man who’s returned to the neighborhood searching for the happy life he once gave up; and Shizuku, the café owner’s teenage daughter, who is still coming to terms with her sister’s death as she falls in love for the first time.

While Café Torunka serves up a perfect cup of coffee, it provides these sundry souls with nourishment far more lasting. Satoshi Yagisawa brilliantly illuminates the periods in our lives where we feel lost—and how we find our way again.

Team Players
The New York Times–bestselling author of Hundred Percenters and Hiring for Attitude shows you how to build the most successful team

The conventional wisdom is wrong about how great teams are built. Effective leaders worry less about cohesion and more about assembling the right group of people with complementary talents and personalities. No amount of teambuilding, trust, or cohesion can overcome having the wrong mix of people in the room.

In Team Players, Mark Murphy argues that the best teams contain an ideal mix of five vital roles: Director, Achiever, Stabilizer, Harmonizer, and Trailblazer. Murphy’s groundbreaking research shows how to unlock each team member’s talents and position them to succeed within the team.

Murphy reveals how unlocking the Directors, Achievers, Stabilizers, Harmonizers, and Trailblazers on your team solves teams’ absence of accountability, the torment of aimless meetings, the unfairness of uneven workloads, the scarcity of active participation, the chaos of clashing agendas, and the dearth of decisiveness.

With a balance of hard-hitting research and compelling real-world examples, this book is a pivotal read for anyone keen on accelerating team development while allowing individual brilliance to shine through.

The same backward as forward
You’ve fallen in love with the Hawthorne brothers, now discover the love story of the lost scion of Hawthorne House. Read Hannah’s side of the story, then flip the book over to experience their love anew through Toby’s eyes in this deluxe novel that you can read backward or forward! The lush edition includes designed edges, a special case, and illustrated endpapers.

Hannah Rooney knows how to be invisible. At twenty, she keeps her head down and her eyes open, and so far, she’s managed to avoid being pulled into the dealings of her notorious criminal family. Hannah lives her life in countdown mode, biding her time in nursing school as she waits for her beloved sister, Kaylie, to turn eighteen so Hannah can get them both far, far away from Rockaway Watch and start a new life.

Tobias Hawthorne II acts every inch the entitled heir that he is. As the only son of one of the country’s richest men, there isn’t a door that isn’t open to him. Yet behind his razor sharp cheekbones and devil-may-care attitude, Toby is guarding a nest of deadly secrets and a fiery anger fierce enough to burn everything in his path.

Their lives collide in one tragic, stormy night, where an act of arson and nature leave Kaylie and two others dead and Toby just barely alive—with no memory of who he is. The fisherman who pulls him from the ocean enlists Hannah to help save the very person who she knows took away her sister. Fueled by her hatred, Hannah is determined to deny Toby’s death wish by keeping him alive. He is the last person that she should ever develop feelings for, and she is the first thing he ever remembers seeing.

Some things cannot happen—and some things cannot be stopped.

Al Norte la montaña, al Sur el lago, al Oeste el camino, al Este el rio
Al sur de Kioto, junto a la vía del tren de la línea de Keihan, a sólo una parada de la ciudad, hay un monasterio. Una escalada laberíntica conduce al nieto del príncipe de Genji a este lugar apartado. No muy lejos de allí, dicen, tiene que hallarse el jardín más hermoso del mundo. Camina por todo el recinto del monasterio como movido por una fuerza interior. Una construcción sutil ha dado forma a la naturaleza, cada cosa tiene su lugar y cada forma su significado. Y así se desplaza una mirada perspicaz y minuciosa sobre la naturaleza, sobre las plantas, el viento y los pájaros, pero también sobre la arquitectura, las pagodas, las terrazas y los patios. Dejar que lo pequeño devenga grande, desplazar lo secreto al centro de atención, rastrear la belleza de lo cotidiano, eso es lo que hace László Krasznahorkai en este viaje literario al Japón, un libro de una prosa embriagadora, fascinante, que nos transporta al universo ideológico y sentimental del país nipón.

Un bolsillo feliz lleno de dinero
No es solo cuestión de dinero.

La verdadera riqueza no consiste en tener mucho dinero en efectivo. Tampoco en llevar ropa de diseño. Ni en comprar un nuevo Mercedes. Ni en vivir en una mansión palaciega. La verdadera riqueza, afirma David Gikandi, tiene que ver con descubrir el valor dentro de uno mismo y de los demás. Se trata de llevar una vida consciente que incorpore ―además de pensamientos, intenciones y metas establecidos y deliberados― la gratitud, la generosidad, la creencia en la abundancia y la experiencia de la alegría.

Basándose en los recientes descubrimientos de la física teórica y una lectura profunda de las obras más inspiradoras del pasado siglo, Gikandi presenta un fascinante sistema para la creación de riqueza personal; un nuevo enfoque que muestra a los lectores cómo generar abundancia ahorrando, dando, aportando a causas benéficas y sociales, y construyendo relaciones felices.

The Last One at the Wedding
From the author of the runaway hit, Hidden Pictures, comes a stunning new work of domestic suspense

Frank Szatowski is shocked when his daughter, Maggie, calls him for the first time in three years. He was convinced that their estrangement would become permanent. He’s even more surprised when she invites him to her upcoming wedding in New Hampshire. Frank is ecstatic, and determined to finally make things right.

He arrives to find that the wedding is at a private estate—very secluded, very luxurious, very much out of his league. It seems that Maggie failed to mention that she’s marrying Aidan Gardner, the son of a famous tech billionaire. Feeling desperately out of place, Frank focuses on reconnecting with Maggie and getting to know her new family. But it’s difficult: Aidan is withdrawn and evasive; Maggie doesn’t seem to have time for him; and he finds that the locals are disturbingly hostile to the Gardners. Frank needs to know more about this family his daughter is marrying into, but if he pushes too hard, he could lose Maggie forever.

An edge-of-your-seat thriller that delves deep into the heart of one family, The Last One at the Wedding is a work of brilliant suspense from a true modern master.

Hidden Pictures
From Edgar Award-finalist Jason Rekulak comes a wildly inventive spin on the supernatural thriller, for fans of Stranger Things and Riley Sager, about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets.

Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy.

Mallory immediately loves it. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body.

Then, Teddy’s artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force.

Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it’s too late.

Future Boy
A poignant, heartfelt, and funny memoir about how, in 1985, Michael J. Fox brought to life two iconic roles simultaneously—Alex P. Keaton in Family Ties and Marty McFly in Back to the Future. An amazing true story as only Michael J. Fox can tell it

In early 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest stars on television. His world was about to get even bigger, but only if he could survive the kind of double duty unheard of in Hollywood. Fox’s days were already dedicated to rehearsing and taping the hit sitcom Family Ties, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way. Soon, he committed his nights to a new time-travel adventure film being directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg—Back to the Future. Sitcom during the day, movie at night—day after day, for months.

Fox’s nightly commute from a soundstage at Paramount to the back lot at Universal Studios, from one dream job to another, would become his own space-time continuum. It was in this time portal that Alex P. Keaton handed the baton to Marty McFly while Michael J. Fox tried to catch a few minutes of sleep. Alex’s bravado, Marty’s flair, and Fox’s comedic virtuosity all swirled together to create something truly special.

In Future Boy, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time—a slice of entertainment history that’s never been told. Using new interviews with the cast and crew of both projects, the result is a vividly drawn and eye-opening story of creative achievement by a beloved icon.

¿Que hacer?
¡Honduras está en peligro! su cohesión social quebrantada y su soberanía expuesta. El riesgo de que el país sufra un nuevo ataque a su vocación soberana reaparece con fuerza. Urge, entonces, construir una opción diferente capaz de abrir un futuro de equidad y autonomía para los hondureños.

La alternativa que este ensayo formula tiene como eje rector la participación organizada, consciente autónoma de su gente. Es una nueva forma de concebir la libertad e inclusión: "La democracia ciudadana". Esta implica la creación de un espacio social en donde jóvenes, mujeres y hombres actúen como sujetos de su propia transformación y, en consecuencia, dejen de ser objeto del subsidio público o de la caridad privada.

No se es ciudadano para poder participar, más bien es preciso participar para alcanzar la ciudadanía. Este es el camino que debemos recorrer para recuperar la soberanía popular. Un gobierno de la gente y para la gente. El futuro no otorga garantías, solo el trabajo dedicado y tenaz podrá despejar el panorama tan incierto que hoy aparece en el horizonte de nuestra nación.

El riesgo en el que Honduras se encuentra es enorme, entonces han de ser enormes también el compromiso y la acción a favor de la soberanía y la justicia.

Seduction Theory
When two married professors tiptoe toward infidelity, their transgressions are brought to light in a graduate student’s searing thesis project.

Simone is the star of Edwards University’s creative writing department: renowned Woolf scholar, grief memoirist, and campus sex icon. Her less glamorous and ostensibly devoted husband, Ethan, is a forgotten novelist and lecturer in the same department. According to Simone and Ethan, and everyone on campus, their marriage is perfect. That is, until Ethan sleeps with the department administrative assistant, Abigail, and the couple’s faith in their flawless relationship is rattled.

Simone, meanwhile, has secrets of her own. While Ethan’s away for the summer, she grows inordinately close with her advisee, graduate student Roberta “Robbie” Green. In Robbie, Simone finds a new running partner, confidante, and disciple—or so she believes. Behind Simone’s back, Robbie fictionalizes her mentor’s marriage in a breathtakingly invasive MFA thesis. Determined to tell her version of the story, Robbie paints a revealing portrait of Simone, Ethan, Abigail, and even herself, scratching at the very surface of what may—or may not—be the truth.

Simultaneously provocative and tender, Seduction Theory exposes the intoxicating nature of power and attraction, and is a masterful demonstration of how love and betrayal can coexist.

If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies
The scramble to create superhuman AI has put us on the path to extinction—but it’s not too late to change course, as two of the field’s earliest researchers explain in this clarion call for humanity.

“May prove to be the most important book of our time.”—Tim Urban, Wait But Why

In 2023, hundreds of AI luminaries signed an open letter warning that artificial intelligence poses a serious risk of human extinction. Since then, the AI race has only intensified. Companies and countries are rushing to build machines that will be smarter than any person. And the world is devastatingly unprepared for what would come next.

For decades, two signatories of that letter—Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares—have studied how smarter-than-human intelligences will think, behave, and pursue their objectives. Their research says that sufficiently smart AIs will develop goals of their own that put them in conflict with us—and that if it comes to conflict, an artificial superintelligence would crush us. The contest wouldn’t even be close.

How could a machine superintelligence wipe out our entire species? Why would it want to? Would it want anything at all? In this urgent book, Yudkowsky and Soares walk through the theory and the evidence, present one possible extinction scenario, and explain what it would take for humanity to survive.

The world is racing to build something truly new under the sun. And if anyone builds it, everyone dies.

“The best no-nonsense, simple explanation of the AI risk problem I’ve ever read.”—Yishan Wong, Former CEO of Reddit
