Since the age of seven, Liv has been painting the heroines and heroes of the movies she watches together with her family with a lot of imagination but also with a high degree of recognisability. A selection of these works is presented in this book. The selection of films that play the main roles is as colourful as the drawings: From current animated films to classic live-action films that already gave Mum, Dad and even the Grandparents a great time when they were still children themselves. It makes this book an exciting and amusing read for all generations.

killer in barksdale A student, brutally murdered on the second day at the University of Barksdale. Reason enough for Spencer Gore to form a team with the sports student Sara Choi and to look around the contemplative campus. Two days later there is the next murder. The detective duo is supported by one of the local police's best noses, the inscrutable Nawat, who is said to have a 98 percent sucess rate. But all suspects have a solid alibi. And no one seems to be the guy who cuts people's throat and watches them bleeding to death, or strangles them. The case is not clear. In addition, Sara has something to hide. The series of killings panics the dean. A savvy sadist threatens students' lives. And that on the second day after the semester break.

It is the breath of the memory of a great love that you gave in an infinite way. Yes, it was a wonderful journey through the years, through the days. Great was the moment without the last question of where to go and why. Life goes into trains, in the counting of the trains you are having a hard time, especially when your heart is racing, when the love gives you more pain, that you lose your orientation and your sight and senses slip away and you are disturbed in the meantime. What will come, you have guessed it, it takes your strength and pushes you to the ground, as if it were the forest, the young, to clear, which is only growing with its trunks, the thin with the delicate bark and the root branches that begin to grasp in a ground that looks friendly towards you. It stays with you, the last breath, it's for you. My last eyelid will envelop you with the mantle of joy and longing. See that it is worn and has the patches of pain and loneliness on the sleeves. What then can arise anew, that is something completely different, whose name nobody knows, and whose form from the unformed no one suspects and no one draws. That's the way it is, and that's the way it will be: the idea is great and powerful, we can not stand against it, but we are carried far to it. It is a flight that does not stop after us. Pull the splinter out of my breath and hold it tight, untie the fetter from your breath, so that we can breathe and taste some of the freedom in the lungs. It is the mourner for the silent, the once brave and happy helper, the friend of the children and the elderly. He will miss us on the fields of crops and crops, on the squares and streets of simple life. Now the language lies perfected or unfinished in the gone-away, as if it sleeps for eternity in silence with the good heart, who now silently carries the past into the future and no longer thinks of returning to earth. It is imaginable that the friend of the children and the elderly watches out of the space of great freedom for what the people down here are trying to understand and often contradict each other.

'Everything is like life' — Mr Omer, David Copperfield This epigraph hovers over The Complete Works as it does over all the astonishing experimental work of the New Zealand poet John Gallas. And by 'everything', he means everything. This collection has no Great Purpose, apart from exploring and expanding upon the contradictory Meanings of Life. In a pyrotechnic display of thirty-one-syllable sparkles, set off by accident and protracted by design, it lights up any corner of things done, thought, felt, seen, suffered and enjoyed. It is contagious: readers begin tankaing as soon as they close the book. A walk in the country will never be the same. Here the writer, barely in control, stands back at a safe distance and watches, mostly with a smile. Here, the reader is the quarry. Contradictions abound, ideas morph, preferences and amusements change – no thoughtful guide is available, but none is needed: crazy and merry variety make this collection amenable to all, especially when all have not quite made up their minds about what on earth is going on. Warning: there are love poems lurking here.

Share in the company of owls in this nocturnal love song… From the author of Some of Us Just Fall, longlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. 'I couldn't put down this warm and comforting, beautiful book.' Ajay Tegala, author of Wetland Diaries ___ In the woods above Polly Atkin's home in Grasmere, Cumbria live the tawny owls she calls her neighbours. Each night, they come down to her cottage at dusk, calling out as night falls – in particular a trio of owlets she watches grow from fledglings to young adults. As the antics of the owl siblings develop – their capacity to play, to bicker, to share and to protect – they encourage her to think differently about some of the big needs of all our lives: solitude and companionship, care and belonging, rest and retreat. And into the frame step questions about all sorts of relationships, from how we feel when in darkness to the homes and connection we so desperately seek. The Company Of Owls is a love song to these incredible creatures, and a reflection on what makes them, and us, unique. It's a call to find joy in unexpected places and times. It is a lesson in learning to listen – to really listen – when all around us seems clamour and noise. ___ 'Rarely have I found a book so transporting, so moving.' Jessica J. Lee, author of Dispersals 'A beautiful guide to moving through this world with tender curiosity, joy and reflection.' Sally Huband, author of Sea Bean
