Readers and critics alike raved over Sally Thorne's smash hit debut novel, The Hating Game-which sold in over 20 countries. Now she's back with an unforgettable romantic comedy about a twin sister and brother struggling over an inheritance-and the sexy best friend who comes between them.Crush: a strong and often short-lived infatuation, particularly for someone beyond your reach...... If Darcy Barrett hadn't met her dream man when she was eight years old, the rest of the male population wouldn't be such a let-down. No one measures up to Tom Valeska, aka the best man on Earth, not in looks, brain or heart. Even worse is the knowledge that her twin brother Jamie saw him first, and claimed him forever as his best friend.Tom's off limits and loyal to her brother, 99%. One percent of Tom has had to be enough for Darcy, and her adoration has been sustained by his shy kindness. And if she's honest, his tight t-shirts.Now Darcy's got three months left to get her life together, before her twin insists on selling the tumble-down cottage they inherited from their grandmother. By night, she's working in a seedy bar, shooting down lame pickups from bikers. By day, she's sewing underwear for her best friend and wasting her award-winning photography skills on website shots of pens and novelty mugs. She's enjoying living the messy life, and a glass of wine or ten... until that one night, when she finds a six-foot-six perfect package on her porch.Tom's here, he's bearing power tools-and he's single for the first time in a decade.As a house flipper extraordinaire, Tom has been dispatched by Jamie to give the cottage a drastic facelift that will result in a ton of cash. Darcy doesn't appreciate Tom's unsentimental approach to knocking down walls, and he really, really doesn't approve of her current burnout boyfriend. They can't be in the same room together without sparks flying- and it's not the faulty wiring. One bedroom wall separates them at night, and even that's looking flimsy.Will Tom ever see Darcy as anything other than a little-sister obstacle to get around? And can she stand up to her most formidable opponent-her twin? This time around, she's determined to make Tom Valeska 99 percent hers, and he's never managed to say no to her yet...

Austrian Cooking has a great variety of dishes - a heritage of the once great Austrian Empire. In the Austrian Provinces there are many native traditions. The people of the Provinces were not wealthy and ate what was available in the surrounding country. So these dishes are very simple, tasty, substantial and cheap. Moreover in terms of current interests they also fit todays need for a proper healthy diet. It was completely different in bigger towns. In the town there has always been a lively exchange of culinary ideas with other areas. With this small book I have tried to give you a modest selection of typical Austrian dishes.

Canis dingo is a captivating exploration of one of Australia's most iconic and polarising species. Drawing on two decades of scientific research, historical records and firsthand fieldwork, Bradley P. Smith traces how a wild canid became entangled in myth, law and livestock conflict, revealing what is at stake in the way Australia treats its apex predator.As new scientific discoveries unsettle entrenched views, and awareness of the dingo's ecological and cultural value grows, Australia is being forced to confront uncomfortable questions. Is the dingo a native species or a feral intruder? A wild canid or domestic dog gone rogue? A threat to biodiversity or one of its last remaining guardians? The answers matter, because they flow into real-world decisions that determine whether dingoes are protected or killed across much of the continent. Blending field science, published research, historical evidence and expert perspectives, this book cuts through longstanding myth and political noise to offer a deeper understanding of the dingo and its place in modern Australia.

El manual más útil, claro y transformador que jamás se ha escrito sobre dependencia emocional.«Necesitamos amor en nuestras vidas. Pero me niego a aceptar que el sufrimiento sea inherente a él. Me niego a aceptar que quien te ama pueda hacerte daño una y otra vez.» Sabemos que en una relación de pareja nunca hay garantías, pero algunas personas se enganchan, generan vínculos tóxicos con el otro y, sin darse cuenta, empiezan a perder el control de su propia vida. Quienes padecen dependencia emocional tienen un concepto erróneo del amor, normalizan el sufrimiento y sienten un pánico terrible e irracional ante la idea de perder a la otra persona. Se alejan de su verdadera esencia, pierden su vitalidad, sus ilusiones se diluyen y toda su vida gira en torno a esa persona con la que ni siquiera son felices. Silvia Congost, psicóloga de referencia en España y Latinoamérica, explora y analiza en estas páginas todos los aspectos de la dependencia emocional para que logres entenderla, identificarla y, lo más importante, deshacerte de ella. De una manera clara y cercana, este manual te guiará para que logres reencontrarte con tu fuerza interior, la única que te permitirá liberarte de esa situación y empezar a caminar hacia aquello que verdaderamente mereces.

'Ruthlessly unguarded, surgically self-parodic and infinitely funny ... An indispensable book about friendship and intimacy; I alternately laughed and shivered as I turned the pages' GuardianFrom the prolific poet, activist and writer Eileen Myles, a "Working Life" unerringly captures the measure of life. Exploring permanence and mortality, danger and safety, fear and wonder, these poems arise in the close quarters of air travel, the flashing of a landscape through a train window, in a truck tooling around town, or on foot with a dog during the pandemic lockdowns.Their lines unabashedly sing the happy contradictions of love and sex, spill over with warnings about the not-so-future world threatened by climate change and capitalism, and find transcendent wonder in the landscapes and animals around us, and in the solitary and collective act of caring for one another and our world.With intelligence, heart and singular vision, a "Working Life" shows Myles working at a thrilling new pitch of their poetic and philosophical powers.
