Dumpster diving for her lost paycheck is definitely the low point of Kiki Lowenstein's day—that is, until she finds a severed leg in the trash. Who'd toss a body part in the garbage outside of Time in a Bottle, the crafts store where Kiki works? Accompanying the grisly "gift" is a creepy computerized voice message, a warning to the store's "rich and snotty" female shoppers. Kiki soon discovers that the amputated leg belonged to a customer with a tyrannical and violent husband, a powerful man in the community. And that jerk is now harassing Kiki.

C'est une vérité communément admise qu'un auteur en possession d'un peu de temps et d'une idée n'a besoin de rien de plus urgent que la motivation. Maintenant, si vous me pardonnez d'adapter cette citation de Jane Austen aux circonstances, je vais vous exposer ma pensée : Vous pouvez avoir à la fois une idée révolutionnaire et tout le temps du monde, mais cela ne sert pas à grand-chose si la motivation fait défaut. Si celle-ci est également présente, des questions peuvent surgir, qui dépassent quelque peu les nouveaux auteurs.

Es una verdad universalmente reconocida que un escritor en posesión de algo de tiempo y de una idea no necesita nada más urgente que la motivación. Ahora, si me perdonas por adaptar esta cita de Jane Austen a las circunstancias, permíteme explicar mi pensamiento. Puedes tener tanto una idea rompedora como todo el tiempo del mundo, sólo que de poco sirve si falta la motivación. Sin embargo, si ésta también está presente, pueden surgir preguntas que pueden resultar un poco abrumadoras, especialmente para los escritores noveles.

Craft maven Kiki happens to be a card-carrying Episcopalian—but she respects the power of intuition. So when she has a "bad feeling" on the way to Marla Lever's house for a crafting party, she heeds her instincts. Marla's nowhere to be seen, although her car's in the garage—buried under a heap of garbage and lawn furniture. Because the potential horror of a party in a hoarder's paradise pales in comparison to the body that's found in Marla's freezer. Marla's nearly dead herself—passed out from heat stroke.

It's not just hems that are frayed in Applewell... Gracie rescues old clothes and cast-offs from Applewell's charity shop, making them into cute and fresh outfits, which she then sells in her little shop. Turning a profit is hard at the best of times, let alone when new arrival Lucas appears... After running away from the village in his teens, Lucas has finally returned to an uncomfortable amount of fanfare and gossip. His job requires him to streamline homeless charity, UnderCover, and his plans to do so risk putting Gracie out of business.

Il cane giusto (un bassotto con "amici" selezionatissimi). Le vacanze giuste (una scelta di campo: Santa o Forte?). La scuola giusta per il figlio (in lingua straniera, of course). La festa di Natale giusta (verso metà ottobre, per battere l'affollamento di inviti festivi). E gli abbinamenti cromatici da evitare, il galateo delle comunicazioni via WhatsApp, gli indirizzi da avere in agenda, i quartieri dove cercare casa, i mestieri socialmente accettabili, la cura di sé tra estratti di verdure e indispensabile "idratazione"... mettetevi comode, perché essere milanese è un lavoro a tempo pieno.

Amato, detestato. Idolatrato, contestato. Da più di vent’anni professa una sola religione: la sua. Chi lo ama lo segua. Ma chi non lo ama non può rimanere indifferente. Condottiero, visionario, grande seduttore, artista della provocazione, icona del football 2.0. C’è un solo allenatore al mondo che riassume su di sé il fascino del calcio moderno. Si chiama José Mourinho. Non è solo un nome, ma un marchio. Le virtù, i vizi, i trionfi e le sconfitte. Gli amici, i nemici. La luce della gloria, l’ombra del fallimento.

Si encara no tens clar si ets pijo o no, aquest és el teu llibre; si ho tens clar, també.

Tenim tan poca idea dels pijos, del seu món i del seu modus vivendi que el Marc Giró s'ha vist en l'obligació d'escriure aquest nou llibre, desobeint el principi més bàsic de la vida regalada, que diu que el més important a la vida de tot pijo és no pencar mai, sota cap concepte, que això és cosa de les classes proletàries de la Lower-Diagonal.

Val a dir, en la nostra defensa, que avui, en temps de Zara, qualsevol persona per quatre duros pot vestir-se de pijo...

Mit Mytting wird aus einem nostalgischen Gefühl eine Bewegung, eine sinnliche Erfahrung, eine Leidenschaft, die nicht nur den Praktiker im Wald, sondern auch den "Armchair Woodsman" zu Hause erfasst. Wussten Sie, dass der höchste Holzverbrauch aus Butan gemeldet wird – und nicht etwa aus Skandinavien oder Russland? Dass die Bäume für das beste Brennholz im Frühjahr gefällt werden? Dass es einen Unterschied macht, ob Holz "Borke oben" oder "Borke unten" gestapelt wird? Dass der Holzstapel Rückschlüsse auf den Charakter des Staplers zulässt? Aprikosenholz brennt anders als Mandelholz.
