The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Doppler av Erlend Loe er en ellevill, absurd og morsom roman av en forfatter som ikke nekter seg noe i en tekst som også byr på alvorlige undertoner og kritikk av det moderne forbrukersamfunnet. Andreas Doppler er en vellykket mann av sin tid. Familiefar med to barn og god jobb. En dag faller han av sykkelen på en tur i marka. Halvt svimeslått registrerer han en ro han ikke har kjent på lenge. Han slipper de trivielle tankene om nytt bad og valget om armatur og fliser. Borte er også den evinnelige surringen av barnesangene fra sønnens tallrike videoer, mens erkjennelsen om farens død blir tydeligere. Hendelsen får ham til å velge å flytte ut i marka. Han bosetter seg i telt, slakter en elg og får kalven som venn og adoptivsønn. Han prøver å leve som jeger og sanker, men må erkjenne at når det gjelder behovet for skummet melk, må han ta steget videre til bytteøkonomi. Doppler er første bok i en trilogi. Bok to er Volvo Lastvagnar og den tredje Slutten på verden slik vi kjenner den.

Book Two in the instant USA TODAY bestselling trilogy! From the viral TikTok author of the stalker romcom, LIGHTS OUT, comes Navessa Allen’s second book in bestselling The Into Darkness Trilogy, upping the ante with voyeurism and play club kink. “I wanted this woman, and I was a man who always got what he wanted.” Nico “Junior” Trocci knows Lauren Marchetti is off limits. She is sweetness and laughter, whereas Junior exists in a world of violence and depravity. Men like him don’t get to have women like her. It’s why he pushed her away back in high school and kept his distance ever since. But when Junior looks Lauren up online, he discovers the shy, bookish girl he remembers is gone. In her place is a strikingly beautiful woman whose social media is filled with scantily clad pictures of herself and a connection to a nearby play club. Junior’s innocent curiosity quickly turns into a dark obsession. Watching Lauren from a distance isn’t enough; he needs to make her his. “He’s ruthless; a walking red flag. Good thing red is my favorite color.” Lauren is intrigued by the mystery man who keeps showing up at her club, who tempts her white-hot desires. But as their flirty online messages stir up a deeper form of connection, Lauren worries she’s developing real feelings for this brooding stranger. As their combined desire ratchets up to a breaking point, who will seduce who?

Ny sjarmerende fulltreffer fra humørsprederen Holmqvist. På folkemunne er «Peppermøene på hjørnet» navnet på den gamle lærerinneboligen i Löderup på Österlen. Der bor Elsa med hunden Bjäfseman, og venninnen Inga-Marta er nabo. Elsa lever en rolig pensjonisttilværelse og trives med det. Det eneste som får hjertet hennes til å banke litt hardere, er diktene til den velkjente poeten Fritz. Fritz er en ekte gentleman og en følsom sjel, helt motsatt av Elsas tidligere store kjærlighet Gösta. Hans interesser gikk mer i retning av traktorer og den skånske matjorda. Selv om Elsa fryktet at Gösta kunne finne på å anvende et ord som «bedekke» når lidenskapen slo til, rødmer hun fortsatt når hun tenker på de store, varme hendene hans. Freden forstyrres da en ny nabo flytter inn. Rett etter skjer det for første gang på flere årtier et innbrudd i byen. Det er noe skummelt med mannen, og da Elsa bestemmer seg for å spionere på ham, oppdager hun et skattekart og en pistol i hans kjeller. Hun akter å avsløre ham om det så er det siste hun gjør.

The brand new hilarious, emotional and thought-provoking book club read about twin sisters who make a bet to switch lives for a week, for fans of David Nicholls, Sophie Kinsella and Cecelia Ahern. Two sisters. One Bet. And a lifetime of secrets uncovered… Morning TV’s favourite twin sisters, Alice and Edie, may share the screen, but that’s where their similarities end. Their viewpoints are far from identical, and whilst their on-air clashes keep viewers hooked, off-camera, their relationship is far from picture-perfect. After a heated argument on live television threatens their jobs, the fiery duo make a bet: neither could last a week in the other’s shoes. Determined to prove each other wrong, they secretly swap lives — without telling a soul. What starts as a battle of wills quickly spirals into chaos, as each sister discovers that the other's life is far more complicated than it seems. Between dodging awkward work situations, marital issues, and meddling in each other’s families, Alice and Edie’s rivalry turns from a competitive bet into an opportunity to help change each other’s lives for the better.

The Sister Switch

En humoristisk og varm historie som samtidig sier noe viktig om oss selv og vår tid. Ove er 59 år. Han kjører Saab. Til tross for at han ble sparket som styreleder i borettslaget for flere år siden (i det som Ove selv bare omtaler som «statskuppet»), klarer han ikke å la være å blande seg inn. Han sjekker at alt er på stell, og at ingen bryter reglene. Men når det nyinnflyttede paret i nabohuset er så uheldige å ødelegge Oves postkasse, blir det opptakten til en humoristisk og hjertevarm historie om rufsete katter, uventet vennskap – og kunsten å rygge med tilhenger. Det som skjer, kommer til å forandre en mann og et borettslag for alltid.

I Slutten på verden slik vi kjenner den av Erlend Loe er Andreas Doppler tilbake . Etter år i de dype skogene, kommer Doppler på at han har familie. Han plasserer elgen, Bongo, i en kennel for hjortedyr og vandrer inn i Oslo. Han gleder seg til å se kone og barn, men det gamle huset hans ser fremmed ut. Og i navnefeltet på postkassa, er hans eget navn strøket ut, og et nytt satt inn: EGIL HEGEL. Doppler tror han har nådd bunnen, men krenkelsene har så vidt begynt. Den første romanen om Doppler og elgen Bongo kom i 2004. I 2005 kom oppfølgeren Volvo Lastvagnar.

Glimrende satire fra Loe, Schreiner & Johannessen som er teamet bak NRK-seriene Kampen for tilværelsen og nå Gutta på skauen. 1. september 1939 gikk Hitler inn i Polen, og andre verdenskrig var i gang. Norge erklærte seg nøytralt, men et halvt år senere, 9. april 1940, invaderte tyskerne likevel landet. Kongen og regjeringen forlot landet for å drive kampen videre fra London. I årene som fulgte, valgte mange unge norske kvinner og menn å bli del av motstandsgrupper, ofte med stor fare for eget liv. Noen av disse gruppene dro til skogs for å drive motstandsarbeidet derfra. Dette er fortellingen om en slik gruppe.

Gutta på skauen

Knalldebut for svensk debutant. Over 650 000 solgte i Sverige. Tildelt Den svenske bokhandlerprisen i 2009. Etter et langt og begivenhetsrikt liv havner Allan Karlsson på gamlehjem. En dag skal han feire sin hundreårsdag med pomp og prakt. Et spetakkel Allan er så absolutt ubegeistret for at han heller klatrer ut vinduet. I farten får han med seg en veske som han skulle passe et øyeblikk, og straks har han både tyver og politi etter seg. Hundreåringen som klatret ut gjennom vinduet og forsvant handler om en månedslang jakt gjennom Sverige på Allan og hans nye venner. Men boken er også en feelgood-reise gjennom det forferdelige 1900-tallet. Hvordan skjedde det at Allan spiser middag med den blivende president Truman? Og seiler flodbåt med formann Maos unge hustru? Til tross for at den uendelig sorgløse Allan er komplett uinteressert i politikk, kan det synes som om han har påvirket de fleste av forrige århundres store begivenheter.

Ingrid Winter sitter fast. I huset hun ikke får solgt, i FAU-møter, i jobbkonflikter, i frykten for dørselgere, i et ekteskap som har mistet gnisten, i sin egen hverdagsangst. Bedre blir det ikke når hun ufrivillig blir plukket ut som representant i en jobbdelegasjon til St. Petersburg. Det skal være starten på forskningssamarbeid over landegrensene, men med Ingrid Winters deltagelse utarter det raskt til kaos, trusler om å bli sendt til Sibir og hostesaft som ikke er hva den utgir seg for å være. Men kanskje er en dose kaos akkurat det som trengs når alt har stivnet i et liv?

Most people don’t even notice them—three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world. Most people think it’s just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise, and she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures. Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group of teenagers find refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer days on an abandoned pier, telling silly jokes, sharing secrets, and committing small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning, a reason to dream, a reason to love. Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into eighteen-year-old Louisa’s care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the painting came to be and to decide what to do with it. The closer she gets to the painting’s birthplace, the more nervous she becomes about what she’ll find. Louisa is proof that happy endings don’t always take the form we expect in this stunning testament to the transformative, timeless power of friendship and art.

Not Another Love Song

Britt-Marie (63) er ikke passiv aggressiv. Det er bare det at skitt og riper og bestikk som ikke ligger på riktig sted i skuffen får henne til å skrike inni seg. Hun har akkurat forlatt ektemannen gjennom 40 år og gått ut av rollen som husmor og inn i rollen som arbeidssøkende. Den eneste jobben hun kan få befinner seg i Borg, et sted som er hardt rammet av finanskrisen, og der alt utenom den ølstinkende pizzasjappa er nedlagt. Britt-Marie hater fotball, men Borg har ikke annet enn fotballen igjen. Dette er absolutt ikke noen god start på et nytt liv. Men når stedets ungdomsklubb så desperat trenger en ny trener at de til slutt er klar for å gi jobben til hvem som helst, da bryr de seg ikke om detaljer som at Britt-Marie absolutt ikke vil ha jobben.

Christina Lauren, the instant New York Times bestselling and “reigning romance queens” (PopSugar) of modern classics such as The Unhoneymooners and Love and Other Words, returns with a swoonworthy novel following the buttoned-up heir of a grocery chain and his free-spirited artist ex as they fake their relationship in order to receive a massive inheritance. Anna Green thought she was marrying Liam “West” Weston for access to subsidized family housing while at UCLA. She also thought she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed, and they both went on their merry ways. Three years later, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor. He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up. He is interested, however, in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance. There’s just one catch. Due to an antiquated clause in his grandfather’s will, Liam won’t see a penny until he’s been happily married for five years. Just when Liam thinks he’s in the home stretch, pressure mounts from his family to see this mysterious spouse, and he has no choice but to turn to the one person he’s afraid to introduce to his one-percenter parents—his unpolished, not-so-ex-wife. But in the presence of his family, Liam’s fears quickly shift from whether the feisty, foul-mouthed, paint-splattered Anna can play the part to whether the toxic world of wealth will corrupt someone as pure of heart as his surprisingly grounded and loyal wife. Liam will have to ask himself if the price tag on his flimsy cover story is worth losing true love that sprouted from a lie.

The Dead Romantics

“Next to Tracy and Hepburn, nobody does romantic comedy better than Susan Elizabeth Phillips.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune Perennial New York Times bestseller Susan Elizabeth Phillips now provides her fans with The Great Escape from ordinary women’s romantic fiction. One of today’s most beloved writers, the incomparable Phillips follows up her utterly beguiling hit, Call Me Irresistible (“Phillips at her very best. Romantic, funny, sexy, and poignant” —Kristin Hannah) with a sequel that’s equally impossible to resist. Returning in The Great Escape are some of Phillips’s most adored characters, including headstrong, impetuous ex-president’s daughter, Lucy Jorik, who’s just abandoned her fiancé, Ted “Mr. Irresistible” Beaudine, at the altar. Now she’s looking for adventure—and perhaps a little romance—embarking on a wild and hilariously unpredictable road trip that begins on the back of a rather menacing-looking stranger’s motorcycle. The winner of more Favorite Book of the Year Awards than any other romance author, including Nora Roberts, Susan Elizabeth Phillips offers her fans an Escape to remember, and they’ll certainly want to come back for more!

The Great Escape

After a decade apart, childhood sweethearts reconnect by chance but how many words will it take for them to figure out where it all went wrong? From the New York Times bestselling authors of the “delightful” (Shelf Awareness) The Unhoneymooners. The story of the heart can never be unwritten. Macy Sorensen is settling into an ambitious if emotionally tepid routine: work hard as a new pediatrics resident, plan her wedding to an older, financially secure man, keep her head down and heart tucked away. But when she runs into Elliot Petropoulos—the first and only love of her life—the careful bubble she’s constructed begins to dissolve. Once upon a time, Elliot was Macy’s entire world—growing from her gangly bookish friend into the man who coaxed her heart open again after the loss of her mother...only to break it on the very night he declared his love for her. Told in alternating timelines between Then and Now, teenage Elliot and Macy grow from friends to much more—spending weekends and lazy summers together in a house outside of San Francisco devouring books, sharing favorite words, and talking through their growing pains and triumphs. As adults, they have become strangers to one another until their chance reunion. Although their memories are obscured by the agony of what happened that night so many years ago, Elliot will come to understand the truth behind Macy’s decade-long silence, and will have to overcome the past and himself to revive her faith in the possibility of an all-consuming love.

Gamle Giæver bruker sine siste dager på jorda til å orientere unge Giæver om familiehistorien, om praktiske ting som gjørmestanga, pick-upen, meiseboller, puter, skuter, damer og ikke minst om den åtte hundre år gamle konflikten med Iunkerfamilien på nabogården. Giæver har ikke lyst til å forlate dette livet uten at skikker og sedvaner, kunnskap, livsvisdom og hatet mot Iunkerne føres videre av neste generasjon. «Du! Hei! Se på meg når jeg snakker! Noterer du? Er du klar? Har du slått på opptakeren? Jeg vil at du tar opp det jeg sier og noterer samtidig. Da får du med deg alt. For det som ikke fortelles forsvinner. Det som fortelles forsvinner også, men det tar lengre tid. Betraktelig lengre tid. Okay? Greit? Du er du klar? Godt.» Erlend Loe i storform leser sin lille perle av en bok.

Majas karriere som stand up-komiker er ikke akkurat lysende. Det er ikke resten av livet hennes, heller. I det siste har hun for eksempel brutt seg inn i en hytte for å stjele sprit, av-tapetsert (halve) veggene til sin beste venn som en overraskelse, og gått glipp av et viktig steg videre i karrieren på grunn av en uoppdragen hund. Men det er vel ikke nok for å bli lagt inn på psykiatrisk avdeling, er det vel?

Det hender fra tid til annen at et bokverk så å si går inn som en del av selvbildet til et helt folk. ”Alvdalstrilogien” – Simen, Bror min og Bonden – er et slikt verk. Aukrusts fortellinger har sneket seg inn i det norske folks hjerter, for dette er barndomsskildringer som krysser alle aldersgrenser, og som ikke kjenner geografiske hindre eller sosiale skillelinjer. Det har blitt sagt at Kjell Aukrust hadde den sjeldne evnen til å se det store i det velse, det evige i det hverdagslige, og det ubegripelige i det alminnelige. Historiene fra det som utgjør Alvdalstriologien, er et bevis på nettopp dette.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Named a “Must-Read” by TODAY, Us Weekly, Bustle, BuzzFeed, Goodreads, Entertainment Weekly, Publishers Weekly, Southern Living, Book Riot, Woman’s Day, The Toronto Star, and more! For two sworn enemies, anything can happen during the Hawaiian trip of a lifetime—maybe even love—in this romantic comedy from the New York Times bestselling authors of Love and Other Words. Olive Torres is used to being the unlucky twin: from inexplicable mishaps to a recent layoff, her life seems to be almost comically jinxed. By contrast, her sister Ami is an eternal champion...she even managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a slew of contests. Unfortunately for Olive, the only thing worse than constant bad luck is having to spend the wedding day with the best man (and her nemesis), Ethan Thomas. Olive braces herself for wedding hell, determined to put on a brave face, but when the entire wedding party gets food poisoning, the only people who aren’t affected are Olive and Ethan. Suddenly there’s a free honeymoon up for grabs, and Olive will be damned if Ethan gets to enjoy paradise solo. Agreeing to a temporary truce, the pair head for Maui. After all, ten days of bliss is worth having to assume the role of loving newlyweds, right? But the weird thing is...Olive doesn’t mind playing pretend. In fact, the more she pretends to be the luckiest woman alive, the more it feels like she might be. With Christina Lauren’s “uniquely hilarious and touching voice” (Entertainment Weekly), The Unhoneymooners is a romance for anyone who has ever felt unlucky in love.

Brought to you by Penguin. A REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR & GLOBAL TIK TOK SENSATION, EMILY HENRY Two writers compete for the chance to tell the larger-than-life story of an heiress with more than a few plot twists up her sleeve in this dazzling and sweeping new novel from Emily Henry. When Margaret Ives, the famously reclusive heiress, invites eternal optimist Alice Scott to the balmy Little Crescent Island, Alice knows this is it: her big break. And even more rare: a chance to impress her family with a Serious Publication. The catch? Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud, Hayden Anderson, is sure of the same thing. The proposal? A one-month trial period to unearth the truth behind one of the most scandalous families of the 20th Century, after which she’ll choose who’ll tell her story. The problem? Margaret is only giving each of them tantalising pieces. Pieces they can’t put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they’re in the same room. And it’s becoming abundantly clear that their story – just like the tale Margaret’s spinning – could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad … depending on who’s telling it. 'Emily Knows how to craft a love story like the all time greats' - Taylor Jenkins Reid 'I've loved every single one of her books more than the previous' - Ali Hazelwood 'Great Big Beautiful Life has everything you love in a classic Emily Henry novel, plus so much more. Nobody writes chemistry like Emily Henry, and you're guaranteed to fall head over heels for Alice and Hayden.' - Beth O'Leary © Emily Henry 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025

Brought to you by Penguin. A shimmering, joyful novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Emily Henry Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it...right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra. Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children's librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra's ex, Miles Nowak. Scruffy and chaotic-with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads -Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she's either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them? But it's all just for show, of course, because there's no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé's new fiancée's ex...right?
