Den Franske Fotograf – Natasha Lester Stor roman af den australske bestsellerforfatter, Natasha Lester. Historien er baseret på den sande historie om den amerikanske model og fotograf Lee Miller, der arbejdede som fotojournalist i Europa under 2. verdenskrig.
I 1943 rejser den tidligere fotomodel Jessica May fra New York til Europa som fotojournalist for at dække krigen i Europa. Som kvinde i et utraditionelt job er det dog ikke nemt at komme helt frem til fronten. Ved venners hjælp lykkes det dog alligevel Jessica at få vist krigen fra en helt nye vinkel og fange stærke øjeblikke med sit kamera.
Godt 60 år senere ankommer den unge australier D’Arcy Hallworth til et lille fransk slot, hvor hun har til opgave at pakke en samling berømte fotografier ned og fragte dem til Australien, hvor de skal udstilles. Fotografen, der har taget dem, er anonym, og det er derfor en usædvanlig, men også spændende opgave for D’Arcy. Og den bliver ikke mindre spændende, da D’Arcy i slottets gemmer falder over nogle kasser med negativerne af Jessica Mays berømte fotografier. Hvad er mon forbindelsen mellem den anonyme fotograf og Jessica May

Kræmmerfund og Kærlighed – Ewa Klingberg Kræmmerfund og kærlighed er en skøn feel good-roman fortalt i to tidsspor om uventet kærlighed, nye begyndelser – og om kunsten at indrette sig.
Felicia er lige blevet skilt efter mange års ægteskab. Og uden helt at forstå, hvordan det er gået til, er hun også blevet husejer – af en forfalden ejendom med flere lejligheder. Felicia flytter selv ind i en af dem. Omgivet af sine lejere, som konstant banker på med spørgsmål om stoppede afløb og andre problemer, men efterhånden også med kanelboller og hyggesnak.
Saldoen på Felicias bankkonto er tæt på nul, og hun aner ikke, hvor hun skal begynde. Alt ændrer sig dog, da hun møder den attraktive antikhandler Jonathan. Han tilbyder at hjælpe med at indrette hendes lejlighed med smukke gamle møbler. Men hvad hverken han eller Felicia ved er, at et af møblerne fra hans butik har et hemmeligt rum. Det gemmer på en for længst glemt historie om Nanny, der var ung pige i huset hos en fornem svensk familie – og om umulig kærlighed.
Bogen er første bind i Huskvarna-serien fra Sveriges nye feel good-dronning. Hendes bøger vil have appel til læsere af Jojo Moyes og Jenny Colgan.
Aftentid og morgengry – Ken Follett Med AFTENTID OG MORGENGRY tager Ken Follett os med tilbage til Kingsbridge i en storslået fortælling om de dramatiske begivenheder før JORDENS SØJLER. ÅRET ER 997. I et England på tærsklen til middelalderen følger vi tre håbefulde personer, som alle forsøger at forfølge deres drømme: en ung bådebygger, en normannisk adelsdame og en visionær og ambitiøs munk. Men England befinder sig i en kaotisk ufredstid og er under angreb fra alle sider. Kongens greb om landet er svækket, de magtfulde udnytter de svageste, og blod og vold hører hverdagen til. Det er hårde vilkår for håbefulde drømmere og kærlighed, og de tre hovedpersoner har stærke kræfter imod sig – ikke mindst i skikkelse af en nådesløs biskop, der ingen midler skyr for at bevare sin magt og velstand. I Aftentid og Morgengry tager Ken Follett os med på en enestående rejse 1000 år tilbage i tiden — til en periode med kærlighed og ære, vold og ambitioner, drømme og håb.

Every puppy likes playing with toys. And even more, they love to bite anything they can find, especially toys. So what toys are the best for your puppy? Of course, they need to be bite-resistant, soft, interesting and practical, but should you choose a tug toy, rope, kong, plush or maybe a squeaky toy? If you want to find out, you have come to the right place. Keep on reading.
We truly recommend this 10-piece cotton set for only £15,99.
It’s made out of non-toxic 100% natural cotton fiber, so your puppy can chew on it safely. It can also improve your dog’s dental health by cleaning its teeth and massaging its gums, which is very important when replacing teeth.
All rope toys can easily be washed to keep them clean and protect your dog’s oral health.
“Absolutely Amazing- honestly when I ordered this I thought it would “just do for now” as I thought £13 it can’t be that good… How wrong was I? I was blown away opening it all and still can’t believe the value for money. You could spend the same amount of money for 1 toy on the high street. Seriously if you have seen this item don’t scroll past just buy it you will be as surprised as me for what you get for your money. My puppy Dahlia loves the carrot. Once again thank you very much“
We highly recommend this 5-piece squeaky set for only £13,59.
The set includes a giraffe, zebra, and squirrel (unfilled squeak toys), a donut and duck (stuffed squeak toys), and a storage bag.
It’s made from non-toxic soft plush and cotton, making it friendly to your dogs’ teeth as well as safe and reliable for your pet to chew on and play with.
These toys makes it possible for your dog to jump, run and play with you during its exercise time. Exercise keeps your pet strong and healthy while also giving you a great way to build a relationship with your puppy.

Love the design and durability of the toys my dogs love them
My mini poodle is obsessed with this toy. She crept into “Santa’s Christmas bag” (hidden away–not sure how she found it) a few days before Christmas, pinched the parcel and opened it while I was taking the bins out. Ever since then, it has been true love (not sure why!) Every evening she furiously squeaks it while pushing it around the sitting room with her nose, kind of like a sled. She also enjoys carrying it from room to room. She has lots of toys, but this is “the one”.
“Our puppy seems to turn his nose up at most toys but this latex cow’s a real winner. Our little monkey loves the squidgy feel of it and it makes a great sound plus it’s proving to be indestructible which is a bonus.“
If you’ve ever had a puppy, you probably know that KONG is an absolute MUST HAVE. Puppy KONG costs only £8,60 and it really makes life with a puppy easier. 🙂
The Puppy KONG dog toy is designed for a growing puppy’s baby teeth and is made from unique, natural rubber. Designed to meet the needs of a puppy’s 28-baby teeth, it helps teach appropriate chewing behavior. A stuffed Puppy KONG occupies busy little ones for a long time, while giving pet parents some free time.

“This little fan air cooler unit is fantastic. Perfect for smaller spaces and does an awesome job of cooling down the air.
I’ve been using this over the last few hot nights.. full with water in the top, turn it on and the fan blows the cold water from the filter part and cools the air with moisture. It does say tap water only but I’d recommend using water from the fridge, but from the tap.
A nice water level indicator section on the side which is helpful.“

Mini Resistance Bands Another staple is the mini resistance bands, that can be used for a number of different exercises. These come in three different resistance levels and are made out of fabric rather than latex bands to prevent pinching while being more durable as well. Get this set of three for £19.90!
“Been using this at least 4 times a week and it’s amazing! It doesn’t roll up when doing intense workouts, doesn’t hurt or feel like it’s going to snap, very sturdy, comes in 3 different levels so you can work your way up to the heavy band and super impressed. Will be recommending to family and friends.”
Multi-Use Resistance Bands Although they might sound similar to the mini resistance bands they serve a different function and are targeted more for full body work. This set comes with 5 different resistance level bands as well as 4 handles, 2 ankle straps, a door anchor and a bag to carry them in. It’s the perfect multi-use pack! With their versatility, they’re definitely worth £33.99.
“Very impressed with these bands. I’ve had others which were awful. I’ve recommended these to 4 friends which have all purchased them. They are a great addition to the home gym and wish I’d found these weeks ago as I wouldn’t of spent so much on equipment as these can do the lot and are great quality. Don’t hesitate to buy these if you are in serious need of a good home workout”
Ankle Weights Ankle weights are a very helpful tool to add to your workouts and come with many benefits. Use them on your ankles to add resistance for you leg exercises or incorporate them into virtually any type of exercise, thanks to their ability of allowing you to move freely while using them. This set comes with adjustable weights, and is now available for £29.99.
Dumbbells Perhaps the most “basic” piece of gym equipment, but well worth its reputation as a staple for workouts. These come in different weights and are coated in neoprene to prevent them from rolling away when you put them down on the floor. One pair of dumbbells sells for £27.99.
“I purchased this product for home use to complement my gym class. The dumbells themselves are nicely made, comfortable to hold and a nice bright colour. The A3 posters that arrive are actually very helpful and a nice addition to the order if you’re looking to expand your exercises. I would certainly look to purchase more from this company, and they are very fairly priced compared to their competitors too. 5 stars from me.”
Jump Rope I know many people think cardio is boring, and running (especially on a treadmill) can be the worst of all. However, a nice way to get in some cardio exercise while still keeping it fun is using a jump rope. It’s one of the most effective workouts and can be switched up by challenging yourself with different skills such as double unders. This one has anti-slip handles and a tangle-free cable, at a price of only £12.99.
This is great product and which I was looking for years and years. Well-made it, the plastic coated metal rope feels incredibly durable and will enable more advanced users to get some significant speed on the swing. The handles are really comfortable and nicely weighted, unscrewing the top of the handle will enable you to adjust the rope to any length you want. I used them in the gym, I can’t say bad words. They are very comfortable, so far so good.Highly recommended!!!“
