Selección, prólogo y entrevista: Marcelo Daniel Díaz Somos privilegiados los lectores por el sólo hecho de ser contemporáneos de Ariel Williams, por habitar coordenadas temporales y geografías más o menos similares y somos privilegiados por tener en nuestras manos un libro único para nuestros tiempos. Hablamos de una obra que resuena ahora y lo seguirá haciendo en el futuro. Un registro de cómo la poesía trabaja de manera silenciosa a modo de susurros y de a poco adquiere dimensión y termina cargada de intensidad y belleza. Si el corazón tembloroso, como un galgo corriendo en el llano, se quiebra, la palabra del poeta se enciende y en la inmensidad de la intemperie nos alumbra con su voz. Detenernos a escuchar lo que Ariel Williams tiene para decirnos sería lo más parecido a un milagro por su recorrido secreto hasta llegar aquí. Es una escritura inagotable por su fidelidad al presente, por el hilado sensible y delimitado de sus versos estallando en múltiples direcciones en simultáneo: no habría forma de no encontrarse con esta voz, de no leerla y sentirse en un punto conmovido como si se tratase de la última de las tareas obligatorias que nos quedarían por hacer en esta vida.

The Midnight Forest. The Fanged Creature. Two fortune-telling cards that spell an untimely death for 17-year-old Clara. Despite the ever-present warning from her fortune-teller grandmother, Clara embarks on a dangerous journey into the deadly Forest Grimm to procure a magical book--Sortes Fortunae, the Book of Fortunes--with the power to reverse the curse on her village and save her mother. Years ago, when the villagers whispered their deepest desires to the book, its pages revealed how to obtain them. All was well until someone used the book for an evil purpose--to kill another person. Afterward, the branches of the Forest Grimm snatched the book away, the well water in Grimm's Hollow turned rancid, and the crops died from disease. The villagers tried to make amends with the forest, but every time someone crossed its border, they never returned. Now, left with no alternative, Clara and her close friend, Axel--who is fated never to be with her--have set their minds to defying fate and daring to accomplish what no one else has been able to before. But the forest--alive with dark, deadly twists on some of our most well-known fairy tales--has a mind of its own.

In today's breastfeeding-friendly environment, the pressure to nurse is intense. We hear over and over that breastfeeding is natural, and every woman can do it. The truth is, the majority of moms need help breastfeeding, but they're forced to sift through varying viewpoints from a dizzying host of sources instead of being able to turn to a doctor for advice. When breastfeeding doesn't work, they're the ones getting blamed for failure. In Better Breastfeeding, you will find information, not opinions: science-backed facts to help you make informed decisions, without feeling ashamed or bullied. Dr. Linda Dahl presents a new paradigm for breastfeeding based on diagnosing and treating mothers and babies using anatomy and physiology, offering a comprehensive overview of how breastfeeding works, why it fails, and what to do about it. Dr. Dahl takes you through the basics of breastfeeding in a week-by-week guide and explores solutions for little-understood difficulties like gape restriction and tongue tie, nipple and breast pain, issues with milk supply, or abnormal nursing behaviors.

Magic flickers. Love flames. Chaos reigns. Magic is forbidden throughout the Morning Realms. Magicians are called an abomination, and blamed for the plague of monsters that razed the land twenty years before. Jin Zhara already had enough to worry about―appeasing her stepmother's cruel whims, looking after her blind younger sister, and keeping her own magical gifts under control―without having to deal with rumors of monsters re-emerging in the marsh. But when a chance encounter with an easily flustered young man named Han brings her into contact with a secret magical liberation organization called the Guardians of Dawn, Zhara realizes there may be more to these rumors than she thought. A mysterious plague is corrupting the magicians of Zanhei and transforming them into monsters, and the Guardians of Dawn believe a demon is responsible. In order to restore harmony and bring peace to the world, Zhara must discover the elemental warrior within, lest the balance between order and chaos is lost forever.

First, the bad news: an ancient evil--you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal--is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favorite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted. When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it's time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago, the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them. But time is short, and if Auri can't learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV. Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits, and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion's most unforgettable heroes--and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.

For six years, it's been just the three of them―her mom has brought home guests at times, but none have ever stayed. Yet when her mom brings home a six-foot tall crane with a menacing air, the girl is powerless to prevent her mom letting the intruder into her heart, and her children's lives.

Things get worse when I learn we'll need to work in close quarters with each other. I'd promised myself I'd never wait around for another guy and postpone my own life, but I'm afraid William Carter might ruin my hopeful plans. I'm craving his touch like I've never craved anything in my life before. But we both know we're a losing game so we keep admitting that neither one of us has a crush on the other.

Liska knows that magic is an abomination and that those who practice it are monsters. She has done everything in her power to suppress her powers, but the consequences of her actions have been dire. Desperate to get rid of magic, Liska flees the small town where she lives and enters the dangerous forest of spirits; a place plagued by demons where she intends to find the mythical fern flower, since plucking it will allow her to make a wish with which to renounce her powers. Anyone who goes in search of said flower ends up suffering indescribable horrors. So, when Liska falls into the clutches of Leszy, the demon who guards the forest, making a deal with him seems a better option than death: in exchange for the fern flower and his wish, he will have to spend a year at his side. After being dragged into the Leszy's dilapidated mansion, Liska soon discovers something disturbing: she is not the first person to make a similar deal with the forest guardian, and all of her predecessors have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. If Liska is to return to her home alive after the year, she must unravel the tangle of secrets of her taciturn host and confront the ghosts of her past, both literally and figuratively. Because something deadly and ruthless is awakening in the forest. Even the Leszy fears him... and the only way to defeat him is for Liska to embrace that monstrous version of herself that she has always feared becoming.

When the Count sends all the children in the spa on a scavenger hunt, the Sinister-Winterbottoms use the excuse to snoop around and discover that this spa may be more than just eerie--it might also hold clues to what happened to their parents.

Folklore, legends and myths already say it: plants are magical. Witches, healers, shamans and priestesses use them to prepare their remedies, potions and rituals. Plants--with their linked soul and spirits--are complete organisms that are part of that whole in which we are included and, therefore, we are interconnected with them. Although modern medicine and its medications come from the synthesized properties of plants, they are not classified into a single capacity, but rather have a complementary nature capable of helping us in multiple situations, as a holistic whole. For this reason, this book is not a botanical dissertation nor does it even fully immerse itself in the world of phytotherapy, but rather it invites us to work from intuition and the interconnection with common plants that most of us know, inviting us to explore our habitat. and the vegetation of our personal universe.
