How to be Parisian wherever you are : love, style, and bad habits / by Berest, Anne,1979-(CARDINAL)428667; Diwan, Audrey.(CARDINAL)545169; Mas, Sophie.(CARDINAL)616987; Maigret, Caroline de.(CARDINAL)616993;
"Four fabulous, smart, saavy French women offer up their highly amusing insider take on Parisian life, love, and liberty"--"Four fabulous, smart, savvy French women offer up their highly amusing insider take on Parisian life, love, and liberty How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are brilliantly deconstructs the French woman's views on culture, fashion, and attitude. Unlike other books on French style, this one is full of wit and self-deprecating humor. The authors--Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline De Maigret, and Sophie Mas--who are all in their early to late thirties are unmarried though attached, most have children, and are highly accomplished. Bohemian freethinkers and iconoclasts, they are not afraid to cut through some of the myths. They say what you don't expect to hear, just the way you want to hear it. They are not against smoking in bed and are all for art, politics, and culture; making everything look easy; and going against the grain. Sports are something to talk about in bars, and maybe, yes, your mother did do a little something subtle to her face after all. In 288 pages, with 100 black-and-white and color pictures--many taken by the authors--How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are will explain those confusing subjects: clothes, makeup, men, culture, and lifestyle"--

Visiones / by Roberts, Nora,author.(CARDINAL)341043; Gil, María del Mar López,translator;
Thea Fox is getting the life she always wanted. She's become a renowned videogame designer, a job that allows her to move back to her childhood home in Redbud Hollow, Kentucky. Now she lives in her own cozy cottage, down the road from her beloved Grammie and the house where she grew up. And when her new neighbor turns out to be her teenage crush, the gorgeous lead singer of Code Red, Tyler Brennan, it seems that life can't get any better. However, it hasn't been easy getting here. Thea carries the burden of a special ability, one that she shares with her Grammie. They can both see into people's minds and souls. Sometimes, they can even see the future. Grammie calls it a gift, but ever since the day when Thea saw her parents get murdered in a dream it's felt like a curse. Thanks to her vision, the police caught the man who did it and put him behind bars. After so many years, he can still hear the twisted thoughts of the criminal. He knows this because he can also see inside minds, and he is determined to take revenge.Thea Fox tiene la vida que siempre quiso. Se ha convertido en una reconocida diseñadora de videojuegos, un trabajo que le ha permitido regresar a Redbud Hollow, el lugar donde transcurrió su infancia, junto a su querida abuela. Cuando descubre que su nuevo vecino es su amor platónico de la adolescencia, el guapo cantante líder de la banda Code Red, parece que la vida no puede ser mejor. Sin embargo, el camino para llegar hasta ahí no ha sido fácil. Thea, como su abuela, tiene una habilidad especial que le permite llegar a la mente y el alma de las personas. A veces, incluso puede ver el futuro. Para su abuela es un don, pero ella, desde el día en que presenció el asesinato de sus padres en un sueño, lo siente como una maldición. Gracias a su visión, la policía pudo atrapar al hombre que lo hizo y ponerlo entre rejas. Después de tantos años, todavía puede escuchar los pensamientos retorcidos del criminal. Él lo sabe porque también puede ver dentro de las mentes, y está decidido a vengarse.
