NEW EDITION: Get a taste of the super-sexy TikTok sensation with these dazzling new editions – unmissable for long-time Dark Olympus fans and Greek mythology alike. Books 1-7 are now available with gorgeously reimagined covers and a connected design on the full set. A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Aphrodite and Hephaestus (and Pandora and Adonis), from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. “He was my enemy. My lover. My husband. And the one man I swore by all Olympus I would destroy.” Aphrodite has never flinched at getting her perfectly manicured hands dirty, and she's not about to start now – even if that means marrying Olympus's enemy number one, the new Hephaestus. She has a wicked plan to keep her deadly new husband off-balance, seducing the one person he seems to care about most in this world: Pandora, a woman as beautiful as she is sweet. Two can play the seduction game, however, and Hephaestus is all too happy to put his new wife in her place. Her ex, Adonis, seems like he'll do the trick. It doesn't hurt that he's gorgeous in the way of fallen angels, either. The only problem with using seduction as a weapon? Hearts are all too quick to get involved. With Hephaestus and Aphrodite trading venomous strikes that feel a whole lot like foreplay, lines become blurred and emotions entangled. But a broken heart may be the least of their worries. With unrest in Olympus reaching new heights, these bedroom games may have deadly consequences for themselves, their city, and everyone they've come to love. Repackaged with striking new artwork, this is the definitive way to enjoy this mythological romance tale that promises to take readers on a darkly seductive journey. Tropes Greek Mythology LGBTQ Dark Romance Spicy Romance Marriage of Convenience Enemies to Lovers Polyamory Modern Retelling *** "Deliciously inventive…Red-hot." – Publishers Weekly STARRED for Neon Gods "I get shivers just thinking of their interactions.

"Anna Seghers was an admirable woman in many ways, but above all she was a remarkable humanist: she became a model of cultural resistance and ideological struggle who cut across borders, and who, still today, thanks to her work, transcends time and lives on in our memory. Anna Seghers’ novels don’t only recount stories of terror, escape, and oppression; they are a call to compassion and solidarity.” —Fernanda Melchor “This novel, completed in 1942, is in my opinion the most beautiful Seghers has written. . . . I doubt that our post-1933 literature can point to many novels that have been written with such somnambulistic sureness and are almost flawless.” —Heinrich Böll “ Tranist belongs to those books that entered my life, and to which I continue to engage with in my writing, so much that I have to pick it up every couple years to see what has happened between me and it.” —Christa Wolf “ Transit is Seghers' best full-length novel. And Transit may be the greatest Exilroman ever.” — Dialog International “Anna Seghers in Transit has painted a grim and crowded picture of Marseille when it was still a port of possible escape for the fugitives of all Europe . . . [ Transit’s] very air of confusion and blind groping is consonant with its theme . . . it is credible and arresting . . . there is an amazing variety and reality in event the least of the characters.” — Christian Science Monitor “No reader will question the author’s sincerity as she strives to anatomize the refugee mind.” — The New York Times Book Review "What makes Miss Seghers's story so convincing is the human authenticity of her characters, and the masterly panorama of Vichy Marseille, that 'tiny spigot through which the world flood of Europe's fleeing thousands sought to pour.' Often as that heart-choking picture has been drawn before, both in factual reports and fiction, Miss Seghers's presentation will stir the reader's imagination to its depth." — The Saturday Review "On its own, this story is an important untold story of the refugee situation in Second World War-era Europe, but in its own grappling with its allegorical nature, Segher transforms the book into a masterpiece. Seghers balances these two impulses in telling her story with an existential, theological layer. The situation of these refugees mimics the course of the human soul." —Joe Winkler, Vol 1. Brooklyn

Bloomsbury presents The Mindful Caregiver, 2nd Edition by Nancy L. Kriseman, read by Jennifer Woodward The Mindful Caregiver was first published in 2014. Since then, the caregiving landscape has changed dramatically, creating cascading effects and increased challenges for caregivers. Caregivers are having to care for elders, who are now living into their 80's and beyond, often with multiple health issues. Many caregivers are baby boomers, which as a generation is getting older and facing their own health problems. Additionally, many are staying in the workforce longer, which requires them to balance or even set aside their own needs to care for their elder family members. On top of that, many baby boomers are caring for ill or frail spouses/partners or even raising their grandchildren. In the second edition of The Mindful Caregiver, existing chapters will be updated, and two new chapters will be added. One new chapter will focus on resistance, which manifests in many different forms for the care recipient, and for family members. Examples include an elder with dementia that refuses to give up driving, or siblings that disagree about moving a family member from their home. This chapter will provide ideas and examples of how to work with resistance. The second new chapter will focus on resilience and self-care. Caregivers will learn how to nurture resilience so that they can cope more effectively both emotionally and spiritually. Armed with this information, my hope is that caregivers can become "mindful caregivers" and feel more empowered, supported, and equipped to be the best caregiver they can be. Sustaining oneself throughout the caregiving journey takes tremendous courage, patience, and strength. My hope is that the new edition of The Mindful Caregiver will inspire caregivers to find meaning in their caregiving experience.

Blackstar Rising und das Purple Reign ist die erste kritische Anthologie, die sich mit den Vermächtnissen der Popmusik-Ikonen David Bowie und Prince beschäftigt. Daphne A. Brooks versammelt eine aussergewöhnliche Reihe von Schriftstellern, Künstlern und Wissenschaftlern, darunter Greg Tate, Jack Halberstam, Kara Keeling, Eric Lott und Ann Powers, um neue Einblicke zu bieten, wie Bowie und Prince jeweils die Popkultur grundlegend veränderten, als Musiker, die an den Schnittpunkten moderner Bewegungen zu Rasse, Geschlecht, Sexualität und Kunst auftraten. Neben diesen Beiträgen sind Interviews mit vertrauten Mitarbeitern von Bowie und Prince wie D. A. Pennebaker, Sheila E. und Marie France enthalten, die einen wichtigen Insider-Kontext zu dem Einfluss beider Künstler auf die Popkultur sowie zu den Komplexitäten ihrer Repertoires, Politiken und Privatleben geben. Dieses Werk ist eine unverzichtbare Lektüre für jeden Fan zweier der beeindruckendsten und bedeutendsten Figuren in der Geschichte der Popkultur.
