What if the urban legends you've always heard about were real?
It starts with a class in an old movie theater. Folklore 517: Local
Legends and Urban Myths, taught by a woman called the Professor. Most
students believe the Professor’s stories are just fiction, but Holland
St. James has always been convinced that magic is real. When she tracks
down a local legend named the Watch Man, who can supposedly tell you
when you’ll die, the world finally makes sense. Except that the Watch
Man tells her she will die at midnight tomorrow unless she finds an
ancient object called the Alchemical Heart.
With the clock ticking, Holland is pulled deeper into this magical
world in the heart of Los Angeles―and into the path of a magnetic
stranger. Everything about him feels like a bad idea, but he promises
Holland that her sister sent him to protect her. As they chase clues
and stories that take them closer to the Alchemical Heart, Holland
realizes everyone in this intoxicating new world is lying to her, even
this stranger. And if she can’t figure out whom to trust, not even the
Alchemical Heart will save her.
A refreshingly modern fairy tale and instant New York Times bestseller that Love Hypothesis author Ali Hazelwood hails as "an uplifting, feel-good, romantic read."
After a wild bet, gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and cuddle with a baby goat, Alexis Montgomery has had her world turned upside down. The cause: Daniel Grant, a ridiculously hot carpenter who’s ten years younger than her and as casual as they come—the complete opposite of sophisticated city-girl Alexis. And yet their chemistry is undeniable.
While her ultra-wealthy parents want her to carry on the family legacy of world-renowned surgeons, Alexis doesn’t need glory or fame. She’s fine with being a “mere” ER doctor. And every minute she spends with Daniel and the tight-knit town where he lives, she’s discovering just what’s really important. Yet letting their relationship become anything more than a short-term fling would mean turning her back on her family and giving up the opportunity to help thousands of people.
Bringing Daniel into her world is impossible, and yet she can’t just give up the joy she’s found with him either. With so many differences between them, how can Alexis possibly choose between her world and his?
Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love. Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She's a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she's in New York City, and he's in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together. Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven't spoken since. Poppy has everything she should want, but she's stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees. Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?
Bastian Bredenkamp is dead. But even the dead have secrets. From the grave, Bastian weaves together the extraordinary tale of his life.
Bastian, the only heir to the Goedleven farm, suffers from a rare condition that allows him to remember everything that has ever happened to him.
When Khadeejathree comes to work for the family, Bastian is introduced to her daughter Rashieda, and a world he’d been sheltered from. But to love Rashieda means telling his secret: he is not who he appears to be.

Duty. Blood. Honor. Power.
Saeris Fane doesn't want power. The very last thing she needs is her
name whispered on an entire court's lips, but now that she's been
crowned queen of the Blood Court, she's discovering that a queen's life
is not her own. A heavy weight rests upon her shoulders. Her ward—and
her brother—need her back in her homeland…but the changes that have
strengthened Saeris have also made her weak. Born under blazing suns,
Saeris will surely die if she makes her way home through the
Quicksilver. Which means that, once again, she must send someone else
in her stead....
"Keep your mouth shut. Stick to the shadows. And for the love of all
seven Gods, do not crack any jokes."
Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate has defeated armies and survived all manner
of horrors, but traveling back to Zilvaren with Carrion Swift might
just be the death of him. The male just will not shut up. Hidden
dangers await them down the narrow alleyways of the Silver City.
Unfolding secrets pose impossible threats. Fisher must wrangle the
smuggler and accomplish his goals quickly if he wants to see his mate
again.
A darkness falls across Yvelia. The realm and their friends are in
danger. Together, Saeris and Fisher will pass through fire and
brimstone to save them.
Narrated in duet style.
1875. Wanneer Kathryn Walsh in die myndorp Calvada aankom, is liefde
die laaste ding waaraan sy dink. Haar welgestelde stiefpa het haar
weggestuur uit Boston om ’n erflating te kom opeis van ’n oom wat sy
nooit geken het nie: ’n klein koerantkantoortjie in die hoofstraat van
’n dorpie vol bordele en kroeë, en ’n skynbaar waardelose myn.
Kathryn besluit om haar oom se koerant weer op die been te bring en
bevind haar kort voor lank midde-in ’n storm tussen twee van Calvada se
magtigste mans. Kathryn is egter vasbeslote om aan te hou sê – en skryf
– waarin sy glo.
Matthias Beck, kroeg- en hotel-eienaar, sien onmiddellik dat die
beeldskone, uitgesproke rooikop net so vasberade soos haar oom is. En
hy weet haar strewe na geregtigheid kan ook háár dood veroorsaak ...
Die aantreklike hotel-eienaar en die eiesinnige juffrou Walsh sien dat
hulle tog vir dieselfde ding baklei: ’n dorp waarop hulle trots kan
wees. Almal wil graag ryk word in die myndorpie, maar dit is ’n liefde
baie kosbaarder as goud wat almal in die dorp uiteindelik sal red.
The beloved classic novel, the basis of the classic film starring
Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock As children, sisters Gillian and
Sally were forever outsiders in their small New England town,
teased, taunted and shunned for the air of magic that seems to
sparkle in the air around them. All Gillian and Sally ever wanted
was to get away. And eventually they do - one marries, the other
runs as far from home as she can manage. Years later, however,
tragedy will bring the sisters back together. And they'll find that
no matter what else may happen, they'll always have each other. An
enchanting tale of love, forgiveness and family, Practical Magic is
beloved of readers of all ages. Book 3 in the Practical Magic
series. *~*~*Readers love Practical Magic*~*~* 'A real pleasure'
Kate Atkinson 'Simply brilliant' Daily Mail '[A] delicious fantasy
of witchcraft and love in a world where gardens smell of lemon
verbena and happy endings are possible' Cosmopolitan 'What do you
do when your long lost little sister shows up on your suburban
front step... a dead man in the Oldsmobile that's blocking your
driveway? ...You help her bury him in your backyard, underneath a
wilting lilac bush that will suddenly spring back to life, bearing
masses of heady flowers that remind everyone who passes by of
desires they thought they'd long since stifled' Vogue 'Dark comedy
and a light touch carry the story along to a truly Gothic climax,
complete with heaving skies and witchery on the lawn' New York
Times 'A scrim of magic lies gently over [this] fictional world, in
which lilacs bloom riotously in July, a lovesick boy's elbows
sizzle on a diner countertop and a toad expectorates a silver
ring...' Publishers Weekly
