Sister Agatha
She's 118 years old, four steps from glory and now she's done playing nice.Sister Agatha has lived a long, saintly life across three centuries-only to be told, during a routine check-up, that she's got just one week left to live. It's a bit of an inconvenience, really. You see, Sister Agatha once made a vow: to be the oldest person in the world. At last count, she was in fifth place. So close...But where there's a will, there's a way, and the super-centenarian creates a bold Plan B.Armed with little more than rosary beads, a fertile imagination and old-fashioned determination, Sister Agatha sets off on one final mission: to meet the four people standing between her and immortality and to gently expedite their demise. After all, vows are sacred. And Sister Agatha? She will not go quietly...A deliciously dark and delightfully funny romp across the globe, perfect for fans of Richard Osman. 'Beautifully written.

The Eleven Who Were Saved
In the lush landscapes of Colombia's coffee region lies the city of Armenia, affectionately known as the "Miracle City." It is here, in a house filled with laughter, faith, and daily struggles, that the unforgettable story of The Children of Don Marco Aurelio begins. This heartwarming and deeply human novel explores the essence of family - the love that unites, the differences that define us, and the small, everyday moments that shape a lifetime.The story opens with a tender scene between Berni, a curious six-year-old boy, and his mother, whose wisdom and kindness illuminate the pages. When Berni innocently asks why his brothers don't look like him, his mother gently explains that every child is unique - like the fingers of her hand, each with a different name, shape, and purpose. What begins as a child's question unfolds into a universal reflection on individuality, family bonds, and the divine design behind human diversity.As the chapters progress, readers are invited into the vibrant world of Don Marco Aurelio's eleven children - each with a distinct personality, a unique dream, and a special place within the family. Through their joys, mistakes, and growth, we see the entire spectrum of human emotion: love and conflict, innocence and experience, humor and heartbreak. Together, they paint a portrait of life in mid-20th-century Colombia, a time of strong traditions, deep faith, and enduring values.The novel beautifully captures the rhythm of everyday life - from early mornings watering the garden to evenings filled with stories, music, and prayer. With lyrical prose and vivid descriptions, the author brings to life the smells of coffee fields, the sounds of laughter echoing through a humble home, and the unspoken strength of a mother who gives everything to her children.But beyond its setting, The Children of Don Marco Aurelio is a story about the human heart - about how love, patience, and understanding can overcome hardship. It honors mothers who raise their children with courage and tenderness, and fathers who work tirelessly to provide a better future. It celebrates individuality within unity, reminding us that differences do not divide families; they enrich them.This novel is both a celebration and a reflection - a journey through the soul of a family and a nation. It reminds readers that true happiness often hides in the simplest gestures: a shared smile, a mother's hug, or the sound of children's laughter in a sunlit garden.The Children of Don Marco Aurelio is a moving, timeless story about belonging, love, and the invisible threads that connect us all. It will touch the hearts of readers who cherish stories of family, identity, and the universal desire to be loved for who we truly are.

This Journal F*cking Works
Build a better relationship with yourself using this invaluable, full-color guide to the power of journaling as a tool for better communication with the voice inside you, from the renowned author of Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies and Glow in the F*cking Dark. This Journal F*cking Works is the ultimate guide for anyone who wants to journal but doesn't know where to start.

Find Your Next Move
The candidate move is perhaps the most elusive concept in chess theory. First introduced by Alexander Kotov in his famous book Think Like a Grandmaster, it seems clear and methodical enough: when considering a move, you make a list of "candidates" in your mind, compare their merits, and make your choice. But how do you determine what a candidate move is, and how do you proceed from there? In this book, based on a Chessable course, chess grandmaster Sipke Ernst and chess psychologist Karel van Delft address these questions. First, Ernst offers a practical approach with many original game fragments, divided into four parts with 30 chapters. By studying these fragments the reader becomes familiar with methods such as comparing and eliminating candidate moves, as well as positional methods like prophylaxis and even psychological weapons. In the fifth part, Van Delft presents thirty thinking tools for finding the best candidate moves. This comprehensive collection of tools is the result of intensive research as well as practical experience during years of youth training. They will help the reader increase their understanding and memory, and develop effective routines and skills. Reading this book will be a great boost to your decision-making in chess!
