People We Meet on Vacation – Emily Henry
Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.
Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.
Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven’t spoken since.
Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.
Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?

Petar I: Kralj oslobodilac
Dušan M. Babac
Monografska publikacija Petar I: Kralj oslobodilac autora Dušana M. Bapca predstavlja političko-istorijsku analizu okolnosti koje su pratile život i vladavinu jedne od najistaknutijih i najsvetlijih figura srpske istorije, kralja Petra Prvog Karađorđevića. Autor polazi od zaključka da je, o čoveku koji je ostavio dubok trag u novijoj istoriji Srbije, relativno malo pisano. Oslanjajući se na pouzdanu arhivsku građu i radove uglednih domaćih autora, i pre svega na objektivno i činjenično sagledavanje istorijskog konteksta, autor nastoji da stvori pouzdanu sliku o njegovom detinjstvu i mladosti, školovanju, životu u emigraciji, materijalnom položaju, duhovnim težnjama, političkim shvatanjima.
U našoj savremenoj istoriji jedini je kralj Petar bio ustavotvorni parlamentarni monarh i demokrata u pravom smislu te reči, i bez obzira na činjenicu da je vladao pre više od 100 godina, njegov primer može biti veoma inspirativan i uzor i u današnje vreme, naročito kada se uzme u obzir i njegova lična skromnost koja se graničila sa asketizmom.
U životu kralja Petra jasno se izdvajaju tri celine: život u izgnanstvu, u otadžbini i rat i poslednje godine. Petar I: Kralj oslobodilac vredan je doprinos istoriografiji i dragocena istorijska biografija, koja kod objektivnog i dobronamernog čitaoca podstiče otrežnjenje i buđenje zdrave nacionalne svesti, jer se ne zasniva na štetnim euforičnim mitovima, već na zrelom i odmerenom sagledavanju i uvažavanju nacionalne istorije. Činjenica da je monografska publikacija štampana kao dvojezično izdanje na srpskom i engleskom jeziku, i omogućuje da najsvetlije stranice naše savremene istorije postanu dostupne čitaocima širom sveta.
Poseban doprinos pomenute monografije je vizuelni materijal koji je prati, tim pre što nikada do sada nije objavljena ni jedna ilustrovana monografija o kralju Petru. Preko 300 fotografija iz epohe, mahom nepoznatih široj javnosti, predstavljaju istorijski izvor prvog reda. Takođe, za potrebe izrade pomenute monografije, prikupljeni su portreti Petra Karađorđevića koji se čuvaju u svim muzejima u Republici Srbiji i Republici Srpskoj, ali i na širem prostoru bivše Jugoslavije, kao i u privatnim zbirkama. Na taj način će čitaocima knjige biti omogućeno da vide portrete čiji autori su bili Arsenije Petrović, Uroš Predić, Vlaho Bukovac, Nikola Milojević, Špiro Bocarić, Vsevold Guljevič, Vladimir Becić, Bogosav Vojnović – Pelikan, Frensis Oven Selsburi, Valdo Berbe i drugi. Najveći deo pomenutog materijala do sada nije bio publikovan.
U zasebnom poglavlju monografije prikazani su spomenici kralju Petru, dela najistaknutijih domaćih vajara toga vremena, koji su bili podignuti posle njegove smrti i koji su najvećim delom uništeni za vreme Drugog svetskog rata ili neposredno po njegovom završetku.
Naposletku, treba napomenuti da u monografiji po prvi put imamo publikovane fotografije nekih ličnih predmeta kralja Petra, poput venčanih kruna kneza Petra i kneginje Zorke sa Cetinja iz 1883, triptih ikona koju je kralj Petar dobio na poklon od ruskog cara Nikolaja II i koju je svuda nosio sa sobom, i u povlačenju preko Albanije, dva molitvena krsta koja je poklonio manastiru Hilandar prilikom posete 1910, prvi rendgenski snimak u Srbiji iz 1905. godine, na kome se vidi šaka kralja Petra sa zaostalim kuršumom iz francusko-pruskog rata, knjiga episkopa žičkog Save Dečanca „Vladalac i narod – krunisanje i miropomazanje vladaoca i dužnosti njegove i narodne”, sa posvetom kralju Petru, dvorski meniji, pozivnica za slavu, eks librisi, naravno i krunidbene insignije iz 1904. godine i još mnogo toga.
Petar Kočić – JAZAVAC PRED SUDOM PRIPOVETKE
Petar Kočić rođen je u bosanskom selu Stričići, na Zmijanju i u svom delu daje potpunu sliku krajiških pejzaža i teškog života bosanskog seljaka. On je ujedno pesnik sirovog života i ljubavi koja je u njegovom delu glavna pokretačka snaga ali i zla kob. U drami Jazavac pred sudom u liku prkosnog seljaka Davida Štrpca opevani su svi poniženi i ugnjeteni koji uzalud traže pravdu. Iako u humorističkom okviru, ova drama je u stvari oštra satira i kritika vlasti.
Petar S. Maksimović – Proizvodnja povrća u zaštićenom prostoru
Stalni napredak u ishrani ljudi ima za posledicu povećanu potrošnju povrća, ali i strože zahteve u pogledu njihovog kvaliteta. Naučni radnici čine velike napore da udovolje ne samo potrošačima povrtarskih proizvoda u pogledu kvaliteta, stvarajući bolje sorte i hibride već i da za proizvođače stalno usavršavaju tehnologije proizvodnje kako bi se sa što manje ulaganja dobila rentabilna proizvodnja.
PETE DEXTER – THE PAPERBOY
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“An eerie and beautiful novel . . . Its secrets continue to reveal themselves long after the book has been finished.”—The New York Times Book Review
The sun is rising over Moat County, Florida, when Sheriff Thurmond Call is found on the highway, gutted like an alligator. A local redneck is tried, sentenced, and set to fry. Then Ward James, hotshot investigative reporter for the Miami Times, returns to his rural hometown with a death row femme fatale who promises him the story of the decade. She’s armed with explosive evidence, aiming to free—and meet—her convicted “fiancé.” With Ward’s disillusioned younger brother Jack as their driver, they barrel down Florida’s back roads and seamy places in search of The Story, racing flat out into a shocking head-on collision between character and fate as truth takes a back seat to headline news.
Now a major motion picture directed by Lee Daniels starring Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron, David Oyelowo, and Macy Gray, with John Cusack and Nicole Kidman

PHILIP M. MARGOLIN – WILD JUSTICE
It seems a serial killer is at large and the modus operandi points to the murderer being a medic. Vincent Cardoni, a brilliant but unpopular surgeon, is suspected and certain pieces of evidence found in his apartment make the police believe they have a solid case. But the trial collapses when an officer lies on oath and Cardoni disappears, having firmly stated his belief that he was set up by his estranged wife, Justine, who is also a surgeon.
A few years later another death occurs, the body being found in exactly the same circumstances as the previous victims, but this time Justine is under suspicion and when her defence attorney discovers she has been 'widowed' twice before in suspicious circumstances her proclaimed innocence begins to look very shaky - until other killings are revealed, killings when both she and her ex-husband were known to be elsewhere. So who is the murderer?
PIERRE BOULLE – DESPERATE GAMES
Long before Battle Royale or The Hunger Games, the author of The Planet of the Apes imagined a world governed by science and brutality gone mad in this long-neglected, dystopian sci-fi classic, now in a new translation
Despairing at the state of world degeneration, a group of the world's most renowned intellectuals form the new Scientific World Government, aiming to put the world to rights. Elected into power, they quickly start making changes for the better, eliminating world hunger and cancer, encouraging scientific thought, and banning frivolous entertainment. But while congratulating themselves on a job well done, they fail to notice that actually, people are not happy. The suicide rate has sky-rocketed and, strangely, it turns out the public wants a little risk and conflict in their lives. So to cater to the masses, the Department of Psychology forms a plan: they will stage an entertainment show the likes of which the world has never seen before. It starts with gladiatorial style battles, bloodthirsty and brutal, where the victors become celebrities of unseen proportions, and quickly escalates into entire historical battle re-enactments involving chemical warfare and mass destruction. The Scientific World Government has unleashed a monster. What has the world let itself in for?
