Luonnonkaunis metsä kasvatti mestarin, sen halkaiseva latu.Latu on tositapahtumiin pohjautuva kertomus nilsiäläisen maailmanmestarihiihtäjän Pauli Pitkäsen rosoisesta elämästä. Se kertoo korvessa kasvaneen miehen noususta menestykseen, 1930-luvun urheiluhurmoksesta, sankaruuden hinnasta ja monista välillä hyvinkin väärälleen vääntyvistä kasvoista.”Minä olen elämässäni laskenut kahta asiaa enemmän kuin mitään muuta. Eivät ne ole markkoja, vuosia, morsiamen määriä tai muuta semmoista, mitä tavallinen mies laskee. Minä olen laskenut sekunteja ja mäkisiä latuosuuksia.Kun minä seisoin kansakoulun luokkahuoneessa räjähtävä kranaatti käsissäni ja katsoin ikkunasta pihalla leikkiviä keskenkasvuisia lapsia, tiesin sekunteja olevan kymmenen. Ensin tuli lyhyt sekunti, sitten monta pitkää. Sen lyhyen aikana päätin, että nakkaan kranaatin pihamaan sijaan opettajanpöydän alle. Ja pitkien aikana pohdin, mahdanko kuolla kerralla vai pitääkö kauankin kitua.”Antti Heikkinen tunnetaan sekä mestarillisista elämäkerroistaan että koskettavista, maaseutu-Suomen arvokkuutta huokuvista romaaneistaan.https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Yomi_Hirasaka_Haganai_I_Don_t_Have_Many_Friends_Vo?id9uVDEAAAQBAJHaganai: I Don't Have Many Friends Vol. 19Yomi HirasakaAfter the tumultuous events of the Christmas party, Kodaka has plans to withdraw from the Neighbors Club, but avoids the club room where Sena and Yozora await.

Don’t trust their false peace.” That is the warning that Alanik of the planet ReDawn gave the human pilot Spensa after Alanik’s ship crash-landed on Detritus. While accepting an invitation to meet with her people’s enemy, the Galactic Superiority, Alanik heard Spensa’s cry for help across the vastness of space, and she used her cytonic powers to hyperjump her ship to the source of that cry. What she found there was a shock—a whole planet of free humans fighting against the Superiority. Were they the allies her people desperately needed? When she recovered from her injuries and met the friendly humans Jorgen and FM of Skyward Flight, she found that her warning to Spensa had gone unheeded by the government of Detritus, and they were considering a peace overture from the Superiority. Now having returned to ReDawn, Alanik is dismayed to learn that her own people are falling into the exact same trap. The faction in ReDawn’s government that wants to appease the Superiority has gained the upper hand. With Alanik’s mentor, Renakin captured, she has no one to turn to but Jorgen, FM, and their friend Rig. An ancient technology may have the power to save both of their planets from disaster, but can they discover its secrets before it’s too late?
