Rogers Hannah: TAYLOR: Her Style
Principles

TAYLOR: Her Style Principles

Be inspired, embrace your fashion era

Hacks meets Rebecca Makkai in this rollicking novel about a&nbsp;cautious daughter and her eccentric, estranged mother venturing west in search of buried treasure—and a way back to each other After being fired for taking an uncharacteristic risk at her commodities trading job, Bea Macon sublets her New York apartment and books a one-way ticket to stay with her mother, Christy, a free spirit who has been living in Salt Lake City on Bea’s dime. Usually the responsible one, Bea isn’t about to admit exactly why she’s suddenly decided to visit, but she isn’t the only one keeping secrets: Christy has a man. She has a map. She has&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. a username on a forum devoted to unearthing $1 million in buried treasure hidden somewhere in the western US?&nbsp; Bea is convinced this is just another one of her mother’s wild larks. But Christy believes she’s onto something—and she’s arranged a rendezvous in a rural town called Mercy with the guy she’s been obsessively trading theories with online to prove it. Out in the desert that one woman believes to be a promised land, the other a wasteland, Bea and Christy find themselves embroiled in a more high-stakes, transformative escapade than either could have imagined.

Warum Taylor Swift zum größten Popstar unserer Zeit wurde 
 
 Taylor Swift steht unangefochten an der Weltspitze der Popmusik. An ihr kommt niemand vorbei. In diesem Buch eröffnet Stephanie Burt - Anglistik-Professorin und bekennender Swiftie - einen völlig neuen Blick auf Taylors Lyrics und Leben. Von ihren Anfängen im Country bis zur epochalen Eras Tour, von den MTV Video Music Awards 2009 bis zu Travis Kelce: Die Autorin beleuchtet dieses einzigartige Künstlerinnenleben durch die Brille der Anglistin und zeigt, wie vielschichtig und anspielungsreich Taylors Songtexte auch in literaturgeschichtlicher Hinsicht sind. Ein Muss für alle Swifties!
 
 Aufbauend auf ihrem Harvard-Seminar 
Taylor Swift and Her World nähert sich Stephanie Burt dem größten Popstar unserer Zeit auf ungewöhnliche Weise: Die gründlich recherchierte Darstellung der Lebensereignisse ergänzt sie durch eine feinfühlige und akribische Analyse der Lyrics. Darin macht sie oft überraschende Anklänge und Bezüge zu den dichterischen Werken zahlreicher anderer Poet:innen aus: von Horaz über Alexander Pope bis Willa Cather. Kunst und Leben sind bei Taylor oft eng miteinander verflochten. Das Buch leistet darüber hinaus auch einen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis des globalen Phänomens Taylor Swift: In ihren schier grenzenlosen Ambitionen und ihrem immensen Erfolg ist sie unerreichbares Vorbild, gleichzeitig wird sie von ihren Fans auch als höchst 
relatable wahrgenommen. Ihr künstlerisches Genie liegt nicht zuletzt in der Erzeugung von Intimität und Identifikationsräumen begründet.
 Taylor?s Version gibt tiefe Einblicke in ihr Leben und in ihr Gesamtwerk und zeigt auf textlicher und musikalischer Ebene, was ihre Songs so erfolgreich macht. 
How does she do it (with a broken heart)?

Love: A book about love and kindness from Axel Scheffler, the illustrator of The Gruffalo

USA Today Bestseller What would you do with a second chance at your first time? Following a bad breakup, Willow Lewis tackles a re-do list with the help of her brother’s best friend in this sweet and sexy&nbsp; romance. Willow experienced all her big firsts with her high school sweetheart. Now, reeling from their very public breakup, she wants to get a re-do on those important moments. While dog-sitting for her brother during his deployment, she has a chance to start over and spending time with his best friend gives her the confidence to start checking items off her “Re-Do list.” Deacon promised his best friend two things when Cruz left for a deployment: that he’d look out for Willow, and that he’d keep his hands off Cruz’s baby sister. “Operation Re-Do” is innocent enough at first: Deacon likes Willow and he’s willing to help her out any way he can. But when the list of firsts turns from a first dance to first kisses and more, Deacon can’t deny the connection he feels to Willow. As Deacon’s and Willow’s firsts turn to seconds, thirds, and fourths, this pair can’t get enough of each other—and they support each other through new challenges. But they are both aware there’s an end date to Willow’s time in town… and even if she were to stay, Deacon doesn’t know how to choose between his loyalty to his closest friend and the woman he’s fallen in love with. With no more romantic moments on her list for them to re-do, can these two still find a way to stay together?

REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • An epic, decades-spanning love story that blazes through the worlds of acting and comedy and charts a connection unlike any other. “INTOXICATING.”—TAYLOR JENKINS REID, author of Atmosphere “SMART AND ROMANTIC.”—GABRIELLE ZEVIN, author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow “DEEPLY MOVING.”—KEVIN WILSON, author of Nothing to See Here “The truth is there’s no such thing as a normal life. There’s just the time you get and how you spend it.” In the summer of 2000, AJ Graves dreams of writing for Saturday Night Live; instead, she’s stuck working in a video rental store, with slim odds of escaping her small Massachusetts town. Then in walks Noah Drew, the enigmatic and intense scion of the Drew acting dynasty, and her life changes forever. Despite wildly different upbringings, the two forge a deep, cosmic bond, first as friends, then as acting partners—until one day, Noah disappears without a word. Seven years later, in New York City, AJ is shocked to find herself cast in the same intergalactic TV production as Noah, by then a well-known Hollywood heartthrob. As their on-screen characters grow closer every day, the lines between reality and acting begin to blur. Unable to stay away from each other, AJ and Noah are forced to confront the truth of what happened years ago—and the devastating secret that will send their lives careening apart, even as fate continues to draw them together. Blending unforgettable characters, explosive chemistry and yearning, and profound emotion, Into the Blue is a journey unlike any other—one that asks: What does it mean to diverge from the script to forge your own story?

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERFROM THE PULITZER-WINNING, BOOKER-SHORTLISTED ELIZABETH STROUT COMES A STUNNING STANDALONE NOVEL OF LOVE, LONELINESS AND NEW BEGINNINGS ' Strout is brilliant at uncovering what goes on beneath the surface of ordinary life' THE TIMES 'Emotionally stunning, devastatingly wise . . . her best novel yet' RACHEL JOYCE ''Elizabeth Strout writes extraordinary fiction about ordinary people' TELEGRAPH 'A moving, tender and wise novel about a committed teacher who is utterly confounded by the emotional complexities of daily life. This might be Elizabeth Strout's best yet' CLARE CHAMBERS Artie Dam is a man with a secret. He spends his days teaching history to high schoolers, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbours, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad-at himself and the people around him-and turns a question over and over in his mind: how is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us? And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear-and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence. With exquisite prose and profound insight, Elizabeth Strout captures the way grief reverberates through decades, the comfort found in deep friendships and the freedom that comes when we break free of our secrets. The Things We Never Say is a stunning new novel from one of our most acclaimed observers of the human heart. *** PRAISE FOR ELIZABETH STROUT: 'A terrific writer' ZADIE SMITH 'A superbly gifted storyteller' HILARY MANTEL 'Elizabeth Strout is one of my very favourite writers' ANN PATCHETT 'She gets better with each book' MAGGIE O'FARRELL 'A beautiful read' OPRAH WINFREY 'Strout is, as ever, wonderfully attentive life's escapable cruelties and woes' SUNDAY TIMES
