Elizabete Lukšo-Ražinska. Netīro matu dienaAscendum, 2025Krājumā apkopoti gan iepriekš publicēti, gan jauni stāsti par pieaugšanu, kas, balansējot uz dokumentālās prozas robežas, līkumo cauri bāriem un bērnības takām, uzved kalnos, bet reizēm ļauj vienkārši blenzt gaismiņās, kas atmirdz asfaltā. Viss tajos notiekošais ir izdomāts, un viss tajos notiekošais ir īsts. |

Ēriks Kūlis. Raksti. Ausmas jausmaJumava, 2025— Nevajag, — saka Rudīte un pagriežas. Tad aizcērtas durvis. Tūlīt Rudīte ies pāri ielai, es spriežu un pieeju logam, lai to redzētu. Uz strāvas līnijas vadiem rudens vējš spēlē melodiju par Rudīti. Istabā tikšķ pulkstenis, skaitot sekundes. Es esmu palicis viens. Skapī klusē viņas izgludinātie mani krekli, kas vēl jūt Rudītes pirkstu pieskārienus, bet esmu palicis viens. Mana mīlestība, Dievs, mana mīlestība ir tik liela un prasa visus manus spēkus. Es esmu sieviete, un ja tu zinātu, kā tas ir — būt sievietei. Tas nozīmē uz mīlestības spārniem celties augstāk par mākoņiem, gan krist lejā visdziļākajos bezdibeņos. Un tomēr palikt dzīvai. Dievs, es griežos pie tevis, jo man nav neviena cita, pie kā griezties. Ja es, laimīgā, stāstu par savu mīļoto savām draudzenēm, viņas smejas par maniem vārdiem, vai arī lasu viņu acīs tādu skaudību, ka iesāpas sirds … Dievs, ja tu redzētu, kā mans saules stars, mans mīļotais, rītos mostas. |

Osvalds Zebris. Dzīvs!Dienas Grāmata, 2025“Osvalda Zebra romāns “Dzīvs!” pamatīgi skrāpē nost patinu no vienam jaunlatvietim nācijas kultūras atmiņā uzceltā pieminekļa. Galvenais varonis Fricis Treilands jeb Brīvzemnieks lasītāju priekšā no mērnieka svešā zemē top par savas tautas etnogrāfijas pētnieku un folkloras vācēju. Taču neesiet maldināti, romāns nav par tautasdziesmu pierakstīšanu. “Dzīvs!”, līdzīgi kā Umberto Eko “Prāgas kapsēta”, sevī savij kosmopolītisku laikmeta garu ar spiegu stāstiem un varoņa personības tapšanu. Romāna varoņi tiek ierauti aizraujošā piedzīvojumā, meklējot savas saknes, īstus un neīstus cilvēkus, kā arī pasaules sākuma mītus, un tā norises vietas mainās no Maskavas un Iekškrievijas guberņām līdz Kurzemes ciemiem un Daugavas ūdeņiem. Fricis Brīvzemnieks romānā top dzīvs, tāpat kā dzīvas bija tautasdziesmas, kuras 19. gadsimta beigās viņš vāca.” Gustavs Strenga, kultūras vēsturnieks |

Laima Poga. NotiesātieEzerrozes grāmatas, 2025Romānā vēstījuma centrā ir cilvēki, kas ilgojas piedzīvot patiesu mīlestību, taču ceļš uz laimi un sapņu piepildījumu izrādās sarežģīts, gadās arī kļūdīties, piedzīvot sāpes un vilšanos. Dažiem varoņiem nākas maksāt par vecāku maldiem, pārsteidzīgu ļaušanos pirmajiem kaisles impulsiem un bezatbildību, savā ziņā kļūstot par “notiesātajiem”, tomēr stāstījumu caurauž doma, ka tas viņus neatbrīvo no atbildības par savu dzīvi. |

Anete Jasmane. e-pasta romānsLatvijas Mediji, 2025Citi cilvēki mūsu kļūdas reizēm piedod, citreiz par tām soda, bet datori rīkojas sliktāk: tie misēkļus saglabā un atkārto. Tā gadījās arī uzņēmuma “Querrency” jaunākajam projektu vadītājam Robertam Melnsilam. Vairākkārt. Kolēģe Līva Jaunbirze viņu nosūdzēja cilvēkresursu nodaļai, atvainošanās puķu pušķis sakalta uz Līvas galda, bet Roberts kādudien attapās kā uzņēmuma galvenais gejs. Un tās vēl ne tuvu nav visas sekas, ko radīja pavisam nevainīga datorkļūme. |

Romija Felka. Miglas upuriLatvijas Mediji, 2025Kādā miglainā rītā tiek atrasts kokā pakārts līķis. Kartona plāksne mirušajam kaklā vēsta: “Likumsargi ir akli! Es atzīstos, ka tiesas procesā pret Kordu Johansenu apzināti sniedzu nepatiesu liecību.” Pirms piecpadsmit gadiem vietējam zemniekam Johansenam tika piespriests mūža ieslodzījums par aukstasinīgu savas ģimenes slepkavību. Vai zīmītē teikta taisnība un viņš tomēr nebija vainīgs? Policija ķeras pie darba, lai noskaidrotu patiesību, un, kad drīz vien tiek atrasts vēl viens nogalināts liecinieks ar tādu pašu vēstījumu, kļūst skaidrs, ka jārīkojas ātri, jo šis var nebūt pēdējais upuris. |

Reičela Hora. Mīlestības bērnsKontinents, 20251917. gads. Londona Neprecētajai, deviņpadsmit gadus vecajai Alisei Koupmenai piedzimst meitiņa. Alises tēvs un pamāte piespiež viņu atteikties no bērna. Nedrīkst pieļaut, ka ģimene tiktu iegrūsta kaunā. Taču Alise nespēj nedomāt par sīko, kaķēnam līdzīgo sejiņu, par meitenīti, kuru ir atdevusi projām. Viņa sēro pēc sava mīļotā, kaujā kritušā jaunā kareivja Džeka. Viņam nekad nebūs lemts ieraudzīt savu meitu.

Irēne aug, apzinādamās, ka ir citāda nekā pārējie bērni, tomēr patiesību viņai neviens neatklāj. Atteikusies no cerības par laulību un bērniem, Alise pievienojas tām retajām sievietēm, kuras tajā laikā uzdrīkstējās apgūt ārsta profesiju. Tas ir grūts un ērkšķains ceļš, jo šajā jomā toni pilnībā nosaka vīrieši. Tostarp Irēne pūlas sakārtot savu dzīvi un beidzot no Safolkas pārceļas uz Londonu. Viņa nav atteikusies no domas atrast savu īsto māti. Vai gadiem glabātie noslēpumi beidzot nāks gaismā, un, vai tādējādi netiks izpostītas vairākas dzīves? |

Kolīna Hūvere. 9. novembrisLatvijas Mediji, 2025
Vēl pirms pāris gadiem Falona bija seriāla zvaigzne, taču kopš dramatiska nelaimes gadījuma, kas uz viņas ķermeņa un sejas atstājis nedzēšamas apdeguma rētas, meitenei šis ceļš ir slēgts. Brīdī, kad Falona izlēmusi krasi visu mainīt, pārceļoties uz valsts otru malu, viņas dzīvē burtiski iekrīt vienaudzis, topošais rakstnieks Bens. Savstarpējā pievilkšanās starp abiem ir teju taustāma, tomēr Falona kategoriski nevēlas iesaistīties attiecībās no attāluma. Abi vienojas turpmākos piecus gadus pavadīt kopā savu iepazīšanās dienu – 9. novembri – un pārējā laikā nesazināties. Tomēr pieci gadi ir ilgs laiks, dzīve neapstājas, turklāt pamazām atklājas – viens no jauniešiem glabā drūmu noslēpumu. |

Džila Mensela. Apsoli manKontinents, 2025Lū nesen ir zaudējusi vīru un nu palikusi arī bez darba. Viņai tiek izteikts negaidīts piedāvājums – strādāt pie kāda īpaši nīgra un vientuļa sirmgalvja. Ņemot vērā, ka viņa iepriekšējās aprūpētājas nav izturējušas ilgāk par divām nedēļām, Lū grasās teikt nē. Tomēr atlīdzība ir grandioza – vecais vīrs apsola pēc savas nāves novēlēt viņai visu savu bagātību. Lū piekrīt uzņemties šo darbu. Nevis tādēļ, lai iegūtu miljonus, bet gan lai palīdzētu šim sirmgalvim atkal iemīlēt dzīvi. Arī Lū pašai nāksies atcerēties, ko nozīmē mīlestība, jo turpat netālu dzīvo Remijs, viņas skolas laiku sirdsāķītis, kurš nekad nav nojautis par Lū lolotajām jūtām. |

Federiko Garsija Lorka. Dzejnieks ŅujorkāNeputns, 2025Turpinot modernās dzejas melno sēriju, izdevniecība “Neputns” izdod Federiko Garsijas Lorkas krājums “Dzejnieks Ņujorkā” Arvja Vigula atdzejojumā. Spāņu dzejnieks Federiko Garsija Lorka (1898–1936) ieradās Ņujorkā 1929. gadā, 31 gada vecumā. Ņujorka, pirmā ārzemju pilsēta viņa dzīvē, atstāja uz dzejnieku ārkārtīgi spēcīgu iespaidu un lika radikāli mainīt poētisko stilu, “iztēles” dzejas vietā pievēršoties “iedvesmas” dzejai. Dzejoļi, kas tapa deviņu ASV (un trīs Kubā) pavadīto mēnešu laikā, iespējams, pat mulsināja autoru pašu un viņa dzīves laikā tā arī neiznāca vienotā krājumā, lai gan viņš reiz to minēja kā vienu no saviem svarīgākajiem poētiskajiem projektiem. |

Ivars Šteinbergs. ĀbeceValters Dakša, 2024
Ivara Šteinberga trešā grāmata “Ābece” ir konceptuāls dzejprozas krājums, ko veido mikroesejas par burtiem un kombinatorās dzejas vingrinājumi. Lai arī ieturēta ābeces žanrā, grāmata paredzēta cilvēkiem, kas jau māk lasīt. Renē Pūce savā pēcvārdā skaidro: “Autors ir paņēmis aptuveno latvju meles elementārdaļiņu – burtu – un katram veltījis rindkopu, šādi mēģinādams to vienlaikus saprast un “at-mācīties”. Citiem burtiem sakot, atcerēties. Atcerēties, cik patiesībā savādi ir mūsu sazināšanās pieraksta pamatelementi”. |

Alex Aster. Summer in the CityBloomsbury Publishing, 2025Twenty-seven-year-old screenwriter, Elle, has the chance of a lifetime to write a big-budget movie set in New York City. The only problem? She’s had writer’s block for months, and her screenplay is due at the end of the summer. In a desperate attempt at inspiration, Elle ends up back in the city she swore she would never return to, in an apartment she could never afford (floor-to-ceiling windows, skyline views, and a new coffee shop to haunt included). It’s the perfect place to write her screenplay . . . until she realizes her new neighbor is tech ‘Billionaire Bachelor’ Parker Warren, her stairwell hookup from two years ago. It’s been a lovers-to-enemies situation ever since. When seeing him again turns into a full night of hate-fueled writing, Elle realizes her enemy/twisted muse might just be the key to finishing her screenplay . . . if she can stand being around her polar opposite. She writes anonymously, and he’s on the cover of every business magazine. He frequents fancy red-carpeted events, and she doesn’t like leaving her emotional support five block radius. He needs to fake a buzzy relationship during his company’s precarious acquisition. She needs to write a movie around a list of NYC locations. Both need a break from their unrelenting schedules, and a chance to rediscover the skyscraper-glimmering, pizza-crusted, sunlit charms of the city. Summers always end, and so will this agreement. It’s all pretend. Promise. Until it isn’t. |

I’m supposed to say that the bruises on my arms and the black eye came from falling down the stairs. But there are things I won’t say. I won’t tell them I’m going to hunt for my real parents. I don’t say a word about Shadow, who sits on the stairs, or the Wasp Lady I saw on the way to bed. I did tell Mick that I saw the woman in the buttercup dress, hanging upside down from her seat belt deep in the forest at the back of our house. I told him I saw death crawl out of her. He said he’d give me a medal for lying. I wasn’t lying. I’m a hunter for lost souls and I’m going to be with my real family. And I’m not going to let Mick stop me. |

Christina Lauren. My Favourite Half-Night StandPiatkus, 2018Millie Morris has always been one of the guys. A UC Santa Barbara professor, she’s a female-serial-killer expert who’s quick with a deflection joke and terrible at getting personal. And she, just like her four best guy friends and fellow professors, is perma-single. So when a routine university function turns into a black tie gala, Mille and her circle make a pact that they’ll join an online dating service to find plus-ones for the event. There’s only one hitch: after making the pact, Millie and one of the guys, Reid Campbell, secretly spend the sexiest half-night of their lives together, but mutually decide the friendship would be better off strictly platonic. But online dating isn’t for the faint of heart. While the guys are inundated with quality matches and potential dates, Millie’s first profile attempt garners nothing but dick pics and creepers. Enter “Catherine”—Millie’s fictional profile persona, in whose make-believe shoes she can be more vulnerable than she’s ever been in person. Soon “Catherine” and Reid strike up a digital pen-pal-ship…but Millie can’t resist temptation in real life, either. Soon, Millie will have to face her worst fear—intimacy—or risk losing her best friend, forever. |

V. E. Schwab. A Darker Shade of MagicTitan Books, 2015Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black. Kell was raised in Arnes—Red London—and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see. Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they’ll never see. It’s a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand. After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him, then saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure. Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, they’ll first need to stay alive. |

S. A. Chakraborty. The City of BrassHarper Voyager, 2018Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trade she uses to get by—palm readings, zars, healings—are all tricks, sleights of hand, learned skills; a means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles. But when Nahri accidentally summons an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to accept that the magical world she thought only existed in childhood stories is real. For the warrior tells her a new tale: across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire, and rivers where the mythical marid sleep; past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises, and mountains where the circling hawks are not what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass, a city to which Nahri is irrevocably bound. In that city, behind gilded brass walls laced with enchantments, behind the six gates of the six djinn tribes, old resentments are simmering. And when Nahri decides to enter this world, she learns that true power is fierce and brutal. That magic cannot shield her from the dangerous web of court politics. That even the cleverest of schemes can have deadly consequences. After all, there is a reason they say be careful what you wish for… |

Ophelia must leave her family and follow her fiancée to the floating capital on the distant Ark of the Pole. Why has she been chosen? Why must she hide her true identity?
