2- Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover: Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d travelled too far if there was still a way home.
3- The Whisper Man: A Novel by Alex North: After the sudden death of his wife, Tom Kennedy believes a fresh start will help him and his young son Jake heal. A new beginning, a new house, a new town. Featherbank. But the town has a dark past. Twenty years ago, a serial killer abducted and murdered five residents. Until Frank Carter was finally caught, he was nicknamed "The Whisper Man," for he would lure his victims out by whispering at their windows at night. Just as Tom and Jake settle into their new home, a young boy vanishes. His disappearance bears an unnerving resemblance to Frank Carter's crimes, reigniting old rumours that he preyed with an accomplice. Now, detectives Amanda Beck and Pete Willis must find the boy before it is too late, even if that means Pete has to revisit his great foe in prison: The Whisper Man. And then Jake begins acting strangely. He hears a whispering at his window...
4- The Library of Lost and Found: A Novel by Phaedra Patrick: Librarian Martha Storm has always found it easier to connect with books than people—though not for lack of trying. She keeps careful lists of how to help others in her superhero-themed notebook. And yet, sometimes it feels like she’s invisible. All of that changes when a book of fairy tales arrives on her doorstep. Inside, Martha finds a dedication written to her by her best friend—her grandmother Zelda—who died under mysterious circumstances years earlier. When Martha discovers a clue within the book that her grandmother may still be alive, she becomes determined to discover the truth. As she delves deeper into Zelda’s past, she unwittingly reveals a family secret that will change her life forever.



8- Perfect Crime (A DI Callanach Thriller, Book 5) by Helen Fields: Stephen Berry is about to jump off a bridge until a suicide prevention counsellor stops him. A week later, Stephen is dead. Found at the bottom of a cliff, DI Luc Callanach and DCI Ava Turner are drafted in to investigate whether he jumped or whether he was pushed... As they dig deeper, more would-be suicides roll in: a woman found dead in a bath; a man violently electrocuted. But these are carefully curated deaths – nothing like the impulsive suicide attempts they’ve been made out to be. Little do Callanach and Turner know how close their perpetrator is as, across Edinburgh, a violent and psychopathic killer gains more confidence with every life he takes...
9- The Muralist: A Novel by B.A. Shapiro: When Alizée Benoit, an American painter working for the Works Progress Administration (WPA), vanishes in New York City in 1940, no one knows what happened to her. Not her Jewish family living in German-occupied France. Not her artistic patron and political compatriot, Eleanor Roosevelt. Not her close-knit group of friends, including Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Lee Krasner. And, some seventy years later, not her great-niece, Danielle Abrams, who while working at Christie’s auction house uncovers enigmatic paintings hidden behind works by those now-famous Abstract Expressionist artists. Do they hold answers to the questions surrounding her missing aunt?
10- Philadelphia by Christopher Davis: Andrew Beckett, a hot-shot lawyer, is fired from his law firm when he develops AIDS. He hires a former adversary, personal-injury lawyer Joe Miller, to sue for damages and help win back his job.

3- Susurran tu nombre: Una novela de Alex North: Después de la muerte repentina de su esposa, Tom Kennedy cree que un nuevo comienzo lo ayudará a él y a su pequeño hijo Jake a sanar. Un nuevo comienzo, una nueva casa, una nueva ciudad. Featherbank. Pero la ciudad tiene un pasado oscuro. Hace veinte años, un asesino en serie secuestró y asesinó a cinco residentes. Hasta que Frank Carter finalmente fue atrapado, fue apodado "El Susurrador", porque atraería a sus víctimas susurrando en sus ventanas por la noche. Justo cuando Tom y Jake se instalan en su nuevo hogar, un niño desaparece. Su desaparición tiene una semejanza desconcertante con los crímenes de Frank Carter, reavivando viejos rumores de que él tenía un cómplice. Ahora, los detectives Amanda Beck y Pete Willis deben encontrar al niño antes de que sea demasiado tarde, incluso si eso significa que Pete tiene que volver a visitar a su gran enemigo en prisión: El Susurrador. Y luego Jake comienza a actuar de manera extraña. Oye un susurro en su ventana...


6- Design de Vida: Crea la vida que funciona para ti por Bill Burnett & Dave Evans: Bill Burnet y Dave Evans, pioneros de Sillicon Valley y profesores de diseño de la Universidad de Stanford, han ayudado a miles de personas a cambiar su forma de vida con su exitosísimo curso, Diseñando tu vida. Burnett y Evans creen que para poder cambiar, la gente necesita atravesar un proceso –un proceso de diseño y planificación- para ayudarles a averiguar qué quieren y cómo crearlo. En este tan esperado libro, Bill Burnet y Dave Evans nos aclaran, paso por paso, cómo pensar como un diseñador y cómo diseñar y construir una vida en la que podamos prosperar a cualquier edad. Los diseñadores no piensan en el camino a seguir, afirman Bill Burnet y Dave Evans, los diseñadores construyen el camino a seguir. En lugar de imaginar un sinfín de divertidas fantasías sin relación alguna con el mundo real –o con nuestro yo real– ellos nos enseñan a construir nuestro futuro ladrillo a ladrillo, a enfocar los desafíos que supone diseñar nuestra propia vida con la misma curiosidad y creatividad que resultaron durante el invento de la bombilla, de la imprenta y de internet, puesto que nos proporcionan las herramientas y nos muestran ciertas mentalidades simples, y cómo utilizarlas para aplicar el diseño de vida en nuestra propia vida.



10- Philadelphia por Christopher Davis: Andrew Beckett, un abogado estrella, es despedido de su bufete de abogados cuando desarrolla SIDA. Contrata a un ex adversario, el abogado de lesiones personales Joe Miller, para demandar por daños y ayudar a recuperar su trabajo.
