Ghost Hunters Of Geylang◎Xie Shi Min
平常價 $23.00A tale of love, betrayal and the supernatural set in the heart of Singapore’s most vibrant district.
At sixteen, Zhong Su Lynn dreams of becoming an official ghost hunter. She has battled supernatural creatures, from pontianak to shuigui, but her unconventional methods frustrate her grandfather, the legendary Zhong Kui. When Su Lynn discovers that her grandfather is building an undead army to forge his own underworld, her world unravels. To complicate matters, she falls for a jiangshi he created. Now, Su Lynn must join forces with other ghost hunters to free the jiangshi, stop Zhong Kui and restore balance—all while torn between love and her sense of duty.
Dying To Meet You◎Angjolie Mei
平常價 $30.00Funeral director and life celebrant Angjolie Mei, one of the very few women in the male-dominated industry, shares her stories and experiences in dealing with the dead—or rather, as she would put it, "People who have completed their life journeys." Be prepared to see funerals and death in a very different light. In this second edition, two new chapters have been added: one relating to the COVID-19 global pandemic and how it has affected funerals—and the industry as a whole; and another on Showers of Love, a sanctuary where family members can join in the process of preparing their loved ones for their final journeys. Find out about the inspiration behind this concept, and how it has provided families and visitors to grieve, and heal.
***
Why would someone leave a shining career in management to work among the dead?
Angjolie Mei, funeral director and "life celebrant", recounts how the death of her father—a veteran known as ‘The Coffin King’ in the funeral industry—prompted this dramatic choice.
What exactly happens during embalming? What kind of post-death restoration is needed for second-degree burn victims? What are the little-known facts surrounding suicide in Singapore?
Angjolie offers the insider’s view on these and other aspects of an industry usually shrouded in mystery, and reflects on how her perceptions of death, and life, have changed since she chose this extraordinary profession.

【預購】小說人生集——橄欖香◎董橋
平常價 $46.00這部寫於十年前的《橄欖香》是作者三十五篇念憶,是小說,也是真實人生,作者跟筆下的人物有感情,運筆之際倍覺難捨,恨不得多些篇幅寫盡心中牽掛,卻又不忍心寫得太滿,總想着留些私己悄悄藏着。
〈團圓〉裏的蕊秋畫廊生意做得興旺,最近很想到大陸開分店推銷歐洲藝術家作品,只怕年紀大了太辛苦。〈望江梅〉的安布羅斯去世了,詹妮至今守着他們的老宅,說是後園一株江南移植的梅樹年年冬天梅花開得燦爛。他最惦念〈竹園〉裏的胭姐,托斯卡納山鄉橄欖園我喜歡,那篇〈橄欖香〉題目讀者都說好,用做書名聊以追念前幾年婦科重病仙逝的姬娜。〈愛晚居〉杏表姐讀了高興,開玩笑說其實還可以把她寫得再濃些。寫〈紫薇園〉那兩個深宵作者無端想起五十年代鄭慧寫的紫薇園的春天和秋天,〈無語〉寫的是方先生心中想的是雲姑,微微染塵的淡彩仕女,一生秀媚,一生孤寂,〈鶴頂紅〉裏的龐荔倒是十月的艷陽了,藏着那枚鶴頂紅扳指藏了龐荔初放的暗香。……寫得簡潔跟寫得好一樣難,難怪毛姆說 “to write simply is as difficult as to be good"。

【預購】讀書人家◎董橋
平常價 $45.00這本《讀書人家》是作者董橋退休前寫成,退休後出版的第一本書,作者在新版序中說: 讀書做學問寫文章真的離不開一個愛字。沒有這份固執的珍愛根本不應該走這條路。這樣的偏愛難免給自己帶來偏見:客觀氛圍的偏見,作品優劣的偏見。年事漸高我對這些偏見越來越喜歡,甚至相信沒有偏見的作家藝術家走不出自己的風格。
書首是作者語重心長一篇〈珍重〉並附有余英時先生的感言,別具意義。後來蘇富比還以「讀書人家」為題專場展覽了董橋的藏書和文房四寶。作者董橋在本事版《讀書人家》新版序中說:「讀書做學問寫文章真的離不開一個愛字。沒有這份固執的珍愛根本不應該走這條路。這樣的偏愛難免給自己帶來偏見:客觀氛圍的偏見,作品優劣的偏見。年事漸高我對這些偏見越來越喜歡,甚至相信沒有偏見的作家藝術家走不出自己的風格。我於是刻意鼓勵年輕人不要跟別人走,要走就走自己的路,孤獨寂寞也要自己走:愛從來是苦的。回顧五六十年裏走過的文林之路我既不懊悔也不自得。我所有的作品都不想改動一個字,因為那是我的寫作歷程的腳印,好的和不好的都成了我的念想。時代不一樣了,好看的故事越來越少了,我常常懷念那個很會講故事的毛姆,倫敦的英國老師跟我說讀他的故事視野會更開朗,肚量會更寬鬆,素養會更靜好。」

Can I Hold You A While Longer?◎Samuel Ng (Translator: Ho Zhi Hui)
平常價 $21.00 Dementia overlaps and blends reality with illusion. When it takes hold, is it possible
to navigate between forgetting and letting go to find love and reconciliation?
Live, learn and even laugh with a son with "imperfect filial piety" and his loving
family as they fumbled through days of disorder and fragmented memories that
their dearest Mum's daily dance with dementia brought.
An Attitude of Gratitude◎Tan-Soh Wai Lan
平常價 $28.00Thankful for all the blessings – large and little – that have brought her to this point in her life, Wai Lan was moved to share her personal journey in a book that’s been more than a decade in the making.
She has always seemed destined for a life in education, from when she was a mere five, playing make-believe teacher to her dolls and stuffed toy ‘students’. She is a prodigious storyteller, and this book is an account of her formative years and beyond and the events and life experiences that have shaped her as a student, scholar, teacher, mother and school leader.
Beyond being a memoir of her days in school as a top student to being on the other side of the table – as an educator of distinction and the youngest principal in 2002 to her current role as NAFA president – each chapter provides an insight into how personal accountability and a spirit of gratitude have helped her become the person she is today. A must-read for any parent, and anyone who is preparing for a career in education or eager to make a difference in the complex world we live in.
I Am Not Good Enough◎Ismail Gafoor & Low Shi Ping
平常價 $28.00Retire with More Money◎Tan Ooi Boon
平常價 $36.00 Why do some people spend their whole lives working only to find
themselves still short of money in old age?
The answer is simple — they don’t know how much is needed and
what can be done to always have enough money.
Many of us want to believe that retirement planning is easy because
you can always invest your way to a good life. The reality is many of us
are good at our work, but extremely bad when it comes to managing
money because we do not make the effort to find out what are the
prudent options to manage our wealth.
The worst thing that can happen is for you to discover that your
investments do not pan out as planned in old age and it is too late
to do anything.
The lesson here is simply this — knowledge is money and it really
pays to gain more of it.
In his new book, The Straits Times Invest Editor Tan Ooi Boon shares
more tips and advice on how you can become smarter with money
so that you can retire well. Just like his weekly column, this book
offers you a practical and enlightened view on how you can manage
your assets, by:
Know that smart people are not necessarily rich. Their knowledge
makes them happy people because they have enough to retire well
and are enlightened to know how to keep and make the most of
what they have.
