RYANShe's a distraction, that's what she is.I'm the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago's NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister's best friend, to move into my apartment. She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting.But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate.The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural.Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her.INDYI never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy.Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and untrusting of others.Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's celebrity hero.Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love.I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend's brother was the right move after all . . .

Dronning over verdens magter er et langdigt skrevet af Enheduana, verdens første kendte digter. Som ypperstepræstinde i byen Ur, herskede hun for 4300 år siden over det åndelige og politiske liv i byen. Fra sit tempel holdt hun guderne tilfredse og fordelte arbejde og rigdomme blandt folket. Men en dag bliver hun overfaldet af oprøreren Lugal-ane, og smidt ud af byen. Ydmyget og i eksil begynder hun at forfatte sit værk, hvori hun beder til sin gudinde Inana om hjælp. Inana er svær at få i tale og Enheduana må finde sine bedste skyts frem, for at opnå det hun ønsker. Dronning over verdens magter er en hyldest til en gudinde der transcenderer godhed og ondskab, og som regerer over alt og alle med sin utæmmede kaoskraft. På tværs af fire årtusinder taler digtet til os og bringer en vild og tiltrængt energi med sig.

Da Notre-Dame brændte, blev Ken Follett så berørt, at hans straks rejste til Paris. Han blev af sin franske forlægger opfordret til at skrive denne lille bog om Notre-Dames historie og betydning, både faktuelt og kulturhistorisk. Ken Folletts kæmpe bestseller "Jordens søjler" handler om bygningen af en fiktiv katedral i England, og arbejdet med denne bog gjorde forfatteren til en slags ekspert i bygning af katedraler i Middelalderen. "Notre-Dame" fortæller om bygningen af den franske katedral, som på en måde aldrig er blevet færdigt, og den fortæller om Notre-Dames betydning i kulturhistorien, tænk bare "Klokkeren fra Notre-Dame". Bogen er gribende, morsom og vildt fascinerende - og alle Folletts honorarer går til genopbygningen.

Litteratur i brug tilbyder et kalejdoskopisk blik på forskellige former for anvendelse af litteratur. Hvordan kan nutidig fiktion og poesi fungere som dynamiske aktører i dansk og skandinavisk kulturliv – hvad er det litteraturen gør? Hvordan er forbindelserne mellem litteratur og et forskelligt udvalg af institutioner og erhverv? Hvordan bruges litteraturen af for eksempel kirken eller i socialt arbejde? Inden for jura og politisk debat, eller i uddannelsen af læger? Hvordan undervises der i litteratur i skolen, og er der nye muligheder? Og hvad kan vi lære af diskussioner om litteratur inden for psykologi og sociologi? Sideløbede hermed diskuteres bredt begrebet brug, eksisterende definitioner af litteratur og behovet for nye teorier og metoder. Litteratur i brug er en introduktion til aktuelle debatter og tendenser i litterære studier, herunder den voksende interesse for at få litteraturstudierne ud af et dødvande og gøre dem mere åbne for at forbinde sig med andre områder, at bidrage til andre felter og til det offentlige liv. Niels Bohr professor Rita Felski, Syddansk Universitet/University of Virginia indleder bogen, og bidragene forholder sig alle til Felskis banebrydende tænkning og værker inden for feltet.
