“Our wills and fates do so contrary run
That our devices still are overthrown;
Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own.”

Magic and Other Misdemeanors (The Sisters Grimm #5
Fans of fractured fairy tales will be delighted to discover the fantasy, mystery, adventure, and humor in the beloved New York Times bestselling Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley, now with new cover art. The nine wildly popular books are favorites around the world. They were among the first books to bring a distinctly girl-power spin to fairy tales—a trend followed by hit television series and movies such as Grimm and Maleficent; the bestselling book series the Land of Stories; and more. Now, books one through six in this smash-hit series appear with new covers, with books seven, eight, and nine available as revised editions soon.
Understand Rap
Rap songs are famous for their double entendres, clever turns of phrase, and general ingenuity, but that doesn't mean things always make sense the first time around. Enter Understand Rap, a very funny pop-cultural reference book based on the website of the same name, which precisely explains the confusing lyrics and terms used in rap songs using language that even the most un-hip person can understand. The juxtaposition of a dry, academic tone with hip-hop terminology results in a book that's as entertaining as it is informative.
The Chronicles of Faerie
Dana Faolan, the spunky half-faerie heroine of The Light-Bearer's Daughter, the third book in The Chronicles, has been using her access to the land of Faerie to escape the troubles of being a teenager in a new town.

It will take all of Dana's bravery and resourcefulness, plus the help of friends old and new, to save her two homes, especially when it becomes clear that the answer lies in an act of terrible sacrifice. Just as the previous books explored Ireland's rich folkloric history, The Book of Dreams delves into the magical lore of Canada. Melling delivers another "compelling blend of mythology and geography" (School Library Journal, starred review) that will thrill fans of the series.

追忆似水年华（第四卷）：所多玛和蛾摩拉
《追忆似水年华》是一部划时代巨著，是二十世纪世界文坛最重要的小说之一，与《尤利西斯》并称意识流小说的巅峰。这部小说以清新灵动的独特艺术风格，借助超越时空的潜在意识，使逝去的时光在他笔下重现，从中抒发对故人、对往事的无限怀念和难以排遣的惆怅。安德烈·莫洛亚曾说过：“普鲁斯特简单的、个别的和地区性的叙述引起全世界的热情，这既是人间最美的事情，也是最公平的现象。就像伟大的哲学家用一个思想概括全部思想一样，伟大的小说家通过一个人的一生和一些最普通的事物，使所有人的一生涌现在他笔下。”
