In return, he makes only one demand: every one hundred years, the mortal ruler must send their heir to serve as his consort...for as long as they can survive. Sachielle of House Roquebarre is the thirty-first consort to be sacrificed to the monster who guards the mountain passes. She is young, beautiful, and she has three secrets. First: she's a disposable orphan trained in seduction. Second: her handmaid, Zanya, is an assassin and the only person she has ever loved. Third: and most deadly: she's cursed. Sachi and Zanya have five weeks to murder the Dragon in his bed. If they fail, the mortal king's curse will steal not just Sachi's life, but her very soul. The Dragon has only one secret: he is nothing like what they have been told. And he will do whatever it takes to possess them both.

Author: Garmus, Bonnie, author. Translated as (expression): Garmus, Bonnie. Lessons in chemistry. Spanish. Alonso Blanco, Victoria, translator. Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, publisher. Published: 2023 2022 Call Number: F GARMUS SPANISH Format: Books Summary: "Elizabeth Zott es madre soltera y renuente estrella del programa de cocina de televisión más seguido de Estados Unidos. El enfoque inusual de Elizabeth para cocinar, combinar una cucharada de ácido acético con una pizca de cloruro de sodio, resulta revolucionario. Sin embargo, a medida que su éxito aumenta lo hacen también sus enemigos, porque Elizabeth no sólo está enseñando a las mujeres a cocinar sino también desafiándolas a alterar el orden establecido. Lecciones de química es una novela original y adictiva que desentraña de manera inteligente y entretenida la espinosa cuestión de la igualdad de género, la necesidad de ser uno mismo y de por qué debemos negarnos a aceptar las limitaciones de los demás y tratar de imponer las nuestras."-- "Set in 1960s California, this blockbuster debut is the hilarious, idiosyncratic and uplifting story of a female scientist whose career is constantly derailed by the idea that a woman's place is in the home, only to find herself starring as the host of America's most beloved TV cooking show. Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it's the 1960s and despite the fact that she is a scientist, her peers are very unscientific when it comes to equality. The only good thing to happen to her on the road to professional fulfillment is a run-in with her super-star colleague Calvin Evans (well, she stole his beakers). The only man who ever treated her -- and her ideas -- as equal, Calvin is already a legend and Nobel nominee. He's also awkward, kind and tenacious. Theirs is true chemistry. But as events are never as predictable as chemical reactions, three years later Elizabeth Zott is an unwed, single mother (did we mention it's the early 60s??) and the star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's singular approach to cooking ('take one pint of H2O and add a pinch of sodium chloride') and independent example are proving revolutionary. Because Elizabeth isn't just teaching women how to cook, she's teaching them how to change the status quo. Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, 'Lessons in Chemistry' is as original and vibrant as its protagonist."--
Author: Clear, James, author. Moya, Gabriela, translator. Published: 2023 Call Number: 152.33 SPANISH Format: Books Summary: Hábitos Atómicos parte de una simple pero poderosa pregunta: ¿Cómo podemos vivir mejor? Sabemos que unos buenos hábitos nos permiten mejorar significativamente nuestra vida, pero con frecuencia nos desviamos del camino: dejamos de hacer ejercicio, comemos mal, dormimos poco, despilfarramos. ¿Por qué es tan fácil caer en los malos hábitos y tan complicado seguir los buenos? James Clear nos brinda fantásticas ideas basadas en investigaciones científicas, que le permiten revelarnos cómo podemos transformar pequeños hábitos cotidianos para cambiar nuestra vida y mejorarla. Esta guía pone al descubierto las fuerzas ocultas que moldean nuestro comportamiento -- desde nuestra mentalidad, pasando por el ambiente y hasta la genética -- y nos demuestra cómo aplicar cada cambio a nuestra vida y a nuestro trabajo. Después de leer este libro, tendrás un método sencillo para desarrollar un sistema eficaz que te conducirá al éxito. A leading expert on habit formation reveals practical strategies to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. "No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving-every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits-whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal." --Publisher's description.
