As maskers val (Grootdruk)
R289.00Toe joernalis Eloise Roos na Gansbaai gestuur word om gerugte van perlemoensmokkelary rondom die magtige sakeman Justin Hudson te ondersoek, verwag sy ’n gevaarlike storie — nie ’n man soos Matthew Hudson nie. Onder die dekmantel van ’n biografieprojek kry Eloise toegang tot die Hudson-huis, waar luuksheid, invloed en geheime agter elke glimlag skuil. Hoe langer sy daar bly, hoe moeiliker raak dit om waarheid van voorgee te onderskei. Want alles dui daarop dat iets donker onder die oppervlak broei. Terwyl haar hart haar in een rigting trek en haar instinkte in ’n ander, besef Eloise dat sy nie net ’n storie ondersoek nie — sy stap reguit in die middel van ’n web van leuens, gevaar en verborgenheid in. Wanneer maskers begin val, is die waarheid gevaarliker as wat sy ooit kon dink … en die prys daarvan dalk haar hart.
Paradys (Grootdruk)
R299.00Riccardo Caselli is in ’n ernstige geloofstryd gewikkel na die dood van sy verloofde ’n jaar gelede. Hy dink daaraan om te bedank, maar sy medeleraar – ook sy beste vriend – praat hom om om Paradys toe te gaan en in te staan vir die predikant wat in die hospitaal is na ’n hartaanval. Teen sy sin stem Riccardo in, maar raak tog betrokke by Paradys se mense. Die mooie Berné Krige, wie se hande vir niks verkeerd staan nie, kruip sommer gou onder sy vel in. Hy loop hom ook vas in Berné se jonger suster, Jeandri, met haar bont hare, skokkende kleredrag en swak taalgebruik wat níks reg wíl doen nie. Al word hy gewaarsku om nie betrokke te raak by Paradys se swartskaap en moeilikheidmaker nie, kom hy gou agter; onder daardie rebelse dop is ’n mens waarvan niemand in Paradys weet nie. Nadat Jeandri in ’n ongeluk was, laai Riccardo haar af by tant Fina – Paradys se kluisenaar wat predikante háát. Kan Riccardo Vir Jeandri hervorm sodat sy aanvaarbaar sal wees vir Paradys? En sal hy tant Fina kan oortuig dat alle predikante nie dieselfde is nie? Ferdinand se hulp word ingeroep, maar Ferdinand verloor sy hart op die beeldskone Cinelle de Groen. Hoe kan daar ooit ’n gelukkige einde wees wanneer Berné besef dat Cinelle die suster is wie sy so haat en dat sy vir Riccardo gaan verloor?

Gulpflerrie skep vir paartjies die geleentheid om spontaan oor hulle seksuele behoeftes te kommunikeer. Seks is ’n belangrike aspek van enige gesonde verhouding. Paartjies met ’n goeie sekslewe is gewoonlik gelukkiger en voel nader aan mekaar as ander paartjies. As vroue meer fantaseer oor seks en mans meer ingestel raak op hulle maats se seksuele bevrediging, sal almal meer liefde WIL maak.
In Gulpflerrie word ook lewenslesse aan die leser deurgegee, soos in “Thaise vakansieklimaks:” ‘Only when you are no longer afraid, you can begin to enjoy life” en Kahlil Gibran: “Wanneer die liefde roep, moet jy dit volg.”

Mjejane and the Kruger National Park Region
Price range: R99.00 through R350.00Mjejane has been described by one of its visitors as follows: The first time I visited Mjejane, I was captivated by the beauty of nature and the tranquillity of the surroundings. After turning off the N4, we made our way to the Mjejane River Lodge. Along the route, we passed a naboom tree the largest and most beautiful I have ever seen. Further on, we came across a natural waterhole right beside the road, where a large herd of buffalo, accompanied by playful warthogs, were drinking and enjoying the mud.
At the Lodge, we were enchanted by the large fig and marula trees in the area. A particular highlight was watching a woodland kingfisher repeatedly returning to its nest to feed its young. Another unforgettable moment was observing the warthog family residing on the premises wandering through the Lodge s lounge on their way to the pool. These are some of my most cherished experiences. Sitting with my feet in the pool, a beer in hand, and watching animals like hippo, buffalo, giraffe, and elephant from such close proximity was truly magnificent.
