Helmer se pa is sterwend en vir die eerste keer in sewe-en-dertig jaar word daar nie meer bevele geblaf op die plaas op die koue, nat Nederlandse platteland nie. Helmer dra sy pa na die boonste verdieping van die plaashuis waar hy sy siekbed moet deurbring en word vir die eerste keer gekonfronteer met ’n kans om wraak te neem. Dit word egter ’n kans om homself te leer ken en te doen wat sy hart vir hom voorskryf.

Die Kameraadskap van die Ring is uiteengedryf. Party berei hulle sonder hoop voor vir oorlog teen die oeroue boosheid van Sauron. Ander kry te kampe met die verraderlikheid van die towenaar Saruman. Slegs Frodo en Sam bly oor om die vervloekte Ring van Mag na Mordor – die donker koninkryk waar Sauron heers – te neem en te vernietig.

Hulle gids is Gollum, listig en hebsugtig, ’n slaaf van die ring wat almal die verderf in lei. Só vervolg hierdie manjifieke topverkoper, ’n verhaal vol avontuur wat met Die Kameraadskap van die Ring begin het, en met ’n oorrompelende hoogtepunt in Die Koning keer terug ten einde loop.

Karl Kielblock was ongetwyfeld een van die beste speurverhaalskrywers in ons land. Met hierdie boek bewys hy dit weer eens. Mooier as die blomme is deel van die Frans Lindenhof-speurreeks en dis ‘n verhaal met baie spanning en onverwagte wendinge en ook heelwat afwisseling wat daarvoor sorg dat dit end-uit genietbaar bly. Namakwaland se kleurkaleidoskoop lok elke jaar duisende besoekers van oraloor. Daar is egter iets nog mooier en waardevoller as veldblomme wat in die Namakwaland verskuil is, besef Joachim Verbeek wanneer ‘n skilderekspedisie plotseling in 'n nagmerrie ontaard. Wanneer Verbeek se paadjie onwetend met die van uitgeslape diamantdiewe kruis, verander dit wat as ‘n rustige wegbreek beplan is in 'n jaagtog vol blink klippies, verleidelike vroue – en lewensgevaar. Niks ontglip egter die onverskrokke speurder-sersant Frans Lindenhof se waaksame oe en fyn ore nie, en hy onderneem om die misdadigers vas te keer.

Oom Chris is die baas van Doodsedrif – of so het hy gedink. Sy vet, bruin kalf lê versuip langs die seekoeigat. Toe dryf oom Jan Oortjies se ou hond opgeblaas langs die oewer. Kraaibek, die mak bobbejaan, spring kort daarna waansinnig in die rivier en verdrink.

Telkens sien oom Chris se seuns die drietonige voetspoor op die riviersand. Manienk, een van die plaasseuns, meen dis Salmaklak, “die gladde nat dier wat hier by jou in die water is”. Hy trek die diere in die water in en los hul liggame om in die rivier af te dryf.

Maar wie het die Tswanaseun met ’n graaf oor die kop geslaan en in ’n vlak graf begrawe?

Met Daar Doer in Duitswes roep Helm Jooste vervloe dae met nostalgie en humor in herinnering. Hy vertel met selfspot van sy eie ervarings in onder andere die ou Suidwes: vertellings wat jou terselfdertyd laat lag en met heimwee en deernis vul. Kom dans op maat van die Rooiduin Orkes tot rooidag; skater en bloos oor die lywige Ant Maryntjie en die tandlose Toks – en droom saam met ’n bobaasverteller oor die “se nou maars” en verspeelde kanse in Jessica se blou oe.

"I'm ridiculously attracted to you, Hottie. I figured I should be up front about that."

"Shut up and kiss me again, Snipes."

Hailey Taylor Emery has a hunch that Sniper87, her favorite client at Fetch—the anonymous virtual assistant service she runs with her ex-husband—is actually gorgeous hockey superstar Matt Eriksson. It's against the rules to check his file, but she's pretty sure she spends every day texting her lifelong crush and catering to his every need. Still processing her recent divorce, Hailey is perfectly content for this to be nothing but harmless online flirting…until Sniper87 wants to meet her. Face to face. Cue: utter panic.

Matt Eriksson is no stranger to heartbreak. He's still not over the destruction of his own marriage, and it sucks to be the only guy on his team who knows the truth: that hockey and long-term relationships are a toxic mix. He barely sees his kids, and dealing with his ex makes him feel worthless. The only person in his life who seems to understand is someone who won't show her pretty face: the mysterious HTE, aka "Hottie."

Surely, though, it's nothing a pair of fourth row hockey seats can't fix. Superfan Hailey can't resist the offer, and Matt can't resist Hailey. But when the phone screens come down, can they get past their baggage long enough to build something real?

Toe leukemie in hul twintigste huweliksjaar by Marthie se man Derik gediagnoseer word, word die Mombergs se lewe onherroeplik verander. Die “vonnis” kom totaal onverwags en die prognose lyk donker: waar Derik voorheen vir geen uitdaging nee gese het nie (die Twee Oseane en die Comrades gehardloop het, entoesiasties was om sy vlieglisensie te bekom en die paartjie op die kruin gestaan het van ’n skynbaar sorgelose en geleentheidbelaaide bestaan, moet hulle nou die realiteit van hospitale, chemoterapie, en later die onafwendbaarheid van Derik se dood, leer verwerk – en ervaar hulle onder die moeilikste van omstandighede dat die kleure van liefde nie net die sonskyngeel en pastelpienk van die lewe se ligkant insluit nie – maar ook die swart van vrees, die grys van onsekerheid en die rooi van pyn help inkleur. In Kleure van liefde word met nugterheid en humor, maar ook op filosofiese en vraende trant, besin oor die lewe voor, tydens en na ’n geliefde se dood. Deur werklike dagboekinskrywings en e-posse die skrywer en haar man by die vertelling in te sluit, word die leser betrek by ’n baie persoonlike ontdekkingstog: die na aanvaarding, berusting – en hoop.
