Book Description
‘Sometimes I think that if I’d found a way to talk, we’d be together now…’ When Helen finds a bundle of unsent love letters, tied with a red ribbon, and signed only ‘the love you wished I could be’, she wonders who they could belong to. The same day, however, her husband Alex announces he’s leaving. She’d believed their love would last a lifetime, but now he’s gone and she hadn’t even realised there was anything wrong. Desperate to understand, Helen doesn’t know where to look for answers. But the letters keep drawing her back. As she reads the words of loneliness, loss and regret, something in them helps her start to make sense of it all… Even as she realises someone has been keeping heart-breaking secrets. But who do the letters belong to? Can the sender ever be reunited with the one they love, or is it too late? And when Helen finds out the truth about Alex, can she find it in her heart to forgive him, or will he never be the love she wished he could be? An emotional, unmissable read, exploring the devastation of loss, the power of love to heal, and the truths that bind us all together. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Diane Chamberlain and Daniela Sacerdoti.

Book Description
In a funny, amusing and satirical way Monika tells about herself: she is passionate, perceptive and quick-witted, but all of these qualities are basically not what she needs to help her in her job as executive secretary in a small company in Vienna run by a self-overrated boss. That Monika also has bad luck in love relationships is somehow to be expected – even with her newest heart flame, a Chinese, the relationship is anything but average. The special thing about this book, written with a great deal of humor and unaffectedness, is that it is written in the form of a diary and the protagonist, Monika D., comments on everything in direct speech, as if the reader were sitting next to her. The captivating honesty and the innovative writing approach are what make the book so appealing and promise the reader an enjoyable reading experience. The novel "What I Wanted to Tell You" is based on the play "Glück auf, Ausländer!" (Good Luck, Foreigners!). The play was awarded in 2008 by the "Exil Dramatikerpreis" of the Wiener Wortstätten and the Exil Verein in Austria. Afterwards, the play was premiered at Theater Akzent in Vienna and published as a novel in German as well as in Croatian as reading material for Croatian language learners. The English translation of the novel is long-awaited release for English-speaking audience.

A cannon. A strap. A piece. A biscuit. A burner. A heater. A chopper. A gat. A hammer A tool for RULE Or, you can call it a gun.

A story that might never know an END…if Will gets off that elevator. Told in short, fierce staccato narrative verse, Long Way Down is a fast and furious, dazzlingly brilliant look at teenage gun violence, as could only be told by Jason Reynolds.
