Chloe Brown is a
chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After
almost—but not quite—dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help
her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving
out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items?
• Enjoy a drunken night out.
• Ride a motorcycle.
• Go camping.
• Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.
• Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.
• And... do something bad.
But
it’s not easy being bad, even when you’ve written step-by-step
guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and
she knows just the man for the job.
Redford ‘Red’ Morgan is a
handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than
ten-thousand Hollywood heartthrobs. He’s also an artist who paints at
night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because
she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.
But
when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about
him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents
Chloe’s wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone.
And what really lies beneath his rough exterior…
Scrappy fencer Nicholas
Cox comes to the end of his path to prove himself worthy of a father he
never knew in the face of surly upperclassmen, nearly impossible odds,
and the talent of his rival, sullen fencing prodigy, Seiji Katayama.
Sparks
fly white-hot on the pitch as Nicholas and Seiji finally face off once
again in the halls of King’s Row. It’s a match that will change King’s
Row (and both of them!) forever, and set the stage as the team journeys
to face their bitter rivals and prove themselves once and for all.
The third volume of the breakneck series from writer C.S. Pacat (The
Captive Prince) and fan-favorite artist Johanna the Mad comes at you as
fast as a parry and hits as hard as a strike.
When three delinquents
hole up in an abandoned general store after their most recent robbery,
to their great surprise, a letter drops through the mail slot in the
store's shutter. This seemingly simple request for advice sets the trio
on a journey of discovery as, over the course of a single night, they
step into the role of the kindhearted former shopkeeper who devoted his
waning years to offering thoughtful counsel to his correspondents.
Through the lens of time, they share insight with those seeking
guidance, and by morning, none of their lives will ever be the same.
By acclaimed author Keigo Higashino, The Miracles of the Namiya General Store is a work that has touched the hearts of readers around the world.
Witch’s apprentice
Bridey Corkill has hated the ocean ever since she watched her granddad
dive in and drown with a smile on his face. So when a dead girl rolls in
with the tide in the summer of 1913, sixteen-year-old Bridey suspects
that whatever compelled her granddad to leap into the sea has made its
return to the Isle of Man.
Soon, villagers are vanishing in the
night, but no one shares Bridey’s suspicions about the sea. No one but
the island’s witch, who isn’t as frightening as she first appears, and
the handsome dark-haired lad Bridey rescues from a grim and watery fate.
The cause of the deep gashes in Fynn’s stomach and his lost memories
are, like the recent disappearances, a mystery well-guarded by the sea.
In exchange for saving his life, Fynn teaches Bridey to master her fear
of the water — stealing her heart in the process.
Now, Bridey
must work with the Isle’s eccentric witch and the boy she isn’t sure she
can trust — because if she can’t uncover the truth about the ancient
evil in the water, everyone she loves will walk into the sea, never to
return.
Sparks are igniting.
Flames are spreading.
And the Capitol wants revenge.
Against
all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12
tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be
relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her
longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be.
Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her
completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a
rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.
Much to
her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop.
And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she
should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the
districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher
than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they
are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be
horrifying.
In Catching Fire, the second novel in the
Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss
Everdeen, testing her more than ever before...and surprising readers at
every turn.
