The Space That Keeps You
Interior designer and television host Jeremiah Brent explores the emotional meaning of home in this warm and inviting book that illuminates what make peoples' spaces so personally significant.
For many of us, our houses are more than just dwellings where we stash our belongings. They are our homes, the places that reflect our tastes and personalities, but more importantly, embody our emotions and dreams. For years, acclaimed interior designer and beloved television personality Jeremiah Brent lived in one beautiful dwelling after the next. Yet after a short time, he always felt the pull to move on. Curious to understand why, he embarked on a deeply personal mission to discover what makes a home The Space That Keeps You.
The Space That Keeps You isn't just a study of beautiful interior design; it's an emotional design book that delves into the deep feelings that make spaces meaningful. Through candid conversations with nine individuals and families from a range of backgrounds, lifestyles, and geographic locations, Jeremiah reveals how and why the spaces we inhabit come to feel like they truly belong to us--the memories, emotions, and stories that shape what home signifies.
Their stories are bookended by Jeremiah's recollections of his own journey defining home with his husband, fellow interior designer and television personality Nate Berkus, and their two children. He introduces memorable people like the artist couple James and Alexandra Brown who made an abandoned plot in Merida, Mexico their accidental paradise, and Tracy and Brian Robbins who found refuge during the pandemic in a serene single-story home in Montecito surrounded by fields of lavender. He illuminates an even more personal side of Oprah Winfrey as she talks about the importance of nature in her dream of home, and describes the story of Giberto and Bianca Arrivabene, who fought to hold onto their family's historic Venetian palazzo.
Filled with intimate, meaningful details--from the kitchen that now nourishes the grandchildren of the adoring couple who first cooked there fifty years ago to the beams of one apartment's walls that are etched with hearts to literally represent the love that fills it--and accompanied by 300 inviting and inspiring color photographs--The Space That Keeps You gets to the heart of what makes a house a home. Just like Jeremiah himself, readers will leave this book with a newfound appreciation for not just the physical beauty but the sentimental beauty of the places that connect and shape us.

Viens, on se parle
"... Un cadeau empoisonné ? C'est un peu la définition du succès, ça. C'est beau, c'est bien, mais si tu finis par y croire, si tu penses que tu es le meilleur, tes chances s'évaporent, et tu es mort. On me caressait dans le sens du poil, tout le monde me disait oui pour tout, j'aurais pu sombrer. Parfois, je ne voulais plus entendre tout ça, c'était trop. Ca sentait le piège. Prendre l'air, c'était la solution." Omar Sy. Acteur emblématique du film mythique Intouchables, Omar Sy a depuis enchaîné les succès au cinéma, sur les plateformes, en France comme aux Etats-Unis. Son itinéraire, inédit et exemplaire, a fait de lui une icône de notre époque, qui compte parmi les personnalités préférées des Français. Omar Sy est aussi un homme et un père de famille qui se veut ordinaire. Pendant près de trois ans, il a accepté de vivre l'expérience d'un livre avec Elsa Vigoureux, auteur de plusieurs ouvrages et grand reporter au Nouvel Obs. Au fil de leurs échanges, Omar Sy parle de tout, de la famille, de l'amour, du cinéma, du monde, de la vie. On découvre un nomade, un pionnier, un homme profond et libre, doué d'une insatiable curiosité. (Payot)

The Grey Wolf
INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The 19th mystery in the #1 New York Times-bestselling Armand Gamache series.
Relentless phone calls interrupt the peace of a warm August morning in Three Pines. Though the tiny Québec village is impossible to find on any map, someone has managed to track down Armand Gamache, head of homicide at the Sûreté, as he sits with his wife in their back garden. Reine-Marie watches with increasing unease as her husband refuses to pick up, though he clearly knows who is on the other end. When he finally answers, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning.
That's only the first in a sequence of strange events that begin THE GREY WOLF, the nineteenth novel in Louise Penny's #1 New York Times-bestselling series. A missing coat, an intruder alarm, a note for Gamache reading "this might interest you", a puzzling scrap of paper with a mysterious list—and then a murder. All propel Chief Inspector Gamache and his team toward a terrible realization. Something much more sinister than any one murder or any one case is fast approaching.
Armand Gamache, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, his son-in-law and second in command, and Inspector Isabelle Lacoste can only trust each other, as old friends begin to act like enemies, and long-time enemies appear to be friends. Determined to track down the threat before it becomes a reality, their pursuit takes them across Québec and across borders. Their hunt grows increasingly desperate, even frantic, as the enormity of the creature they’re chasing becomes clear. If they fail the devastating consequences would reach into the largest of cities and the smallest of villages.

Patriot
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The powerful and moving memoir of a fearless political opposition leader who paid the ultimate price for his beliefs.
"Patriot is by turns funny, fiery, reflective and tragic, laced with Navalny’s trademark wry humor and idealism....a gutting personal account from a husband and father facing the reality that he will never be with his family again."—The New York Times
"Honest"—The Washington Post • "Shocking"—The Atlantic • "Uplifting." —Vanity Fair
"A testament to resilience" —Associated Press • "Will be seen as a historic text."—The Economist
Alexei Navalny began writing Patriot shortly after his near-fatal poisoning in 2020. It is the full story of his life: his youth, his call to activism, his marriage and family, his commitment to challenging a world super-power determined to silence him, and his total conviction that change cannot be resisted—and will come.
In vivid, page-turning detail, including never-before-seen correspondence from prison, Navalny recounts, among other things, his political career, the many attempts on his life, and the lives of the people closest to him, and the relentless campaign he and his team waged against an increasingly dictatorial regime.
Written with the passion, wit, candor, and bravery for which he was justly acclaimed, Patriot is Navalny’s final letter to the world: a moving account of his last years spent in the most brutal prison on earth; a reminder of why the principles of individual freedom matter so deeply; and a rousing call to continue the work for which he sacrificed his life.
“This book is a testament not only to Alexei’s life, but to his unwavering commitment to the fight against dictatorship—a fight he gave everything for, including his life. Through its pages, readers will come to know the man I loved deeply—a man of profound integrity and unyielding courage. Sharing his story will not only honor his memory but also inspire others to stand up for what is right and to never lose sight of the values that truly matter." —Yulia Navalnaya -

Named best of the month by New York Post!
A deliciously twisty and suspenseful novel from the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Girl in the Mirror, about a desperate young woman and the manipulative wealthy couple who will stop at nothing to ensure their worst nightmare becomes a dream come true.
"No One Will Know is a gonzo thrill ride; the audacious Rose Carlyle kept me riveted and guessing, and every time I thought I knew where the devious plot was headed, I was dead wrong. I loved it and you will, too." --Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author
They're the perfect couple. They have the perfect plan. All they need is the perfect victim.
Julia and Christopher Hygate have the picture-perfect life: gobs of money thanks to their lucrative shipping enterprise and an estate on a secluded island.
When they meet Eve Sylvester, they know she is the exact person they should hire to be their child's nanny. Eve doesn't have any living relatives, she's lost touch with her friends, and her partner is out of the picture. Best of all, she's expecting a baby.
Eve thinks she's landed the greatest gig--previously desperate and penniless, now she'll live like a queen and have a promising future for her daughter.
But the job seems too good to be true. Why would the Hygates hire Eve if she has no prior nannying experience? Why must Eve stay out of sight? And what's with the mysterious yachts coming in and out of the Hygates' private marina?
It's too late to ask questions, though, Eve is already in far too deep.
Set against the backdrop of a remote island, an endless stream of secrets, and unbelievable wealth, No One Will Know is a propulsive, seductive novel of suspense that shows the terrible consequences of shocking greed, staggering lies, and fatal mistakes.

American Reckoning
A vivid eyewitness account of the historic first criminal trial of a president and a cri de coeur for democracy from a New York Times bestselling author and presidential historian.
As one of a handful of journalists allowed in the courtroom, for 23 days Jonathan Alter sat just feet away from the most dangerous threat to democracy in American history, watching the spectacle of the century: the felony trial of Donald Trump. Highly publicized but untelevised and thus largely hidden from public view, this landmark trial offered hope of real justice amid a grueling eight-year national ordeal and foreshadowed the drama of the 2024 presidential election.
Alter shares everything he witnessed—from eviscerating takes on the colorful characters to the chilling legal ups and downs—to offer a barbed account of the trial and its aftermath, including fresh reporting about the historic events of the summer of 2024. A Zelig of journalism experiencing a crisis of faith in the good sense of the American people, Alter chronicles the shaping of his political consciousness and his bracing, unpredictable relationships with Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain, and Joe Biden, whose decision to stand down in favor of former prosecutor Kamala Harris put the criminal trial front and center as Americans render their own verdict at the polls.
Deeply personal and passionate, American Reckoning is an eye-opening book from a journalist with a front row seat on history, offering a troubled yet hopeful look at our national moment of truth.
