One Day meets Up: The House That Made Us is a love story - and a
life story - told through a series of photographs and inspired by a
true story When Mac and Marie marry and find a home of their own,
Mac takes a snap of them outside their newbuild bungalow, the
garden bare and the paint on the front door still wet. It becomes a
tradition, this snap, and slowly the photographs build into an
album of a fifty-year relationship. Every year they take a photo
and though things change around them - the garden matures, the
fashions change, they grow older - the one constant is their love.
Every year, come rain, come shine, from the Seventies through the
decades, every photo tells the story of their love. But life never
travels the path you expect it to, though they know that a life
with love is a life lived to the full. Now, in the present day, the
photo album belongs to someone who doesn't know the people in its
pages. As they watch the lives from the past unfold, will the truth
of their love story be told...? A heart-breaking story about life
and love for readers who love Holly Miller, Jojo Moyes and Hazel
Prior.
Perfect for fans of Jessica Jones and True Blood, this is a blockbuster modern fantasy set in a divided world where one woman must uncover the truth to seek her revenge.
Half-Fae, half-human Bryce Quinlan loves her life. Every night is a party and Bryce is going to savour all the pleasures Lunathion - also known as Crescent City - has to offer. But then a brutal murder shakes the very foundations of the city, and brings Bryce's world crashing down.
Two years later, Bryce still haunts the city's most notorious nightclubs - but seeking only oblivion now. Then the murderer attacks again. And when an infamous Fallen angel, Hunt Athalar, is assigned to watch her every footstep, Bryce knows she can't forget any longer.
As Bryce and Hunt fight to unravel the mystery, and their own dark pasts, the threads they tug ripple through the underbelly of the city, across warring continents, and down to the deepest levels of Hel, where things that have been sleeping for millennia are beginning to stir...

Scarlett Vandermeer is swimming upstream. A junior at Stanford and a
student athlete who specializes in platform diving, Scarlett prefers to
keep her head down, concentrating on getting into med school and on
recovering from the injury that almost ended her career. She has no
time for relationships - at least, that's what she tells herself.
Swim captain, world champion, all-around aquatics golden boy Lukas
Blomqvist thrives on discipline. It's how he wins gold medals and
breaks records: complete focus with every stroke. On the surface, Lukas
and Scarlett have nothing in common. Until a well-guarded secret slips
out, and everything changes.
So they start an arrangement. And as the pressure leading to the
Olympics heats up, so does their relationship. It was supposed to be
just a temporary, mutually satisfying fling. But when staying away from
Lukas becomes impossible, Scarlett realizes that her heart might be
treading into dangerous water...

The Song of Achilles and Circe 'Gives the serpent-headed monster of
myth a powerful and haunting humanity' - Jennifer Saint, author of
Ariadne and Elektra _________________ If I told you that I'd killed
a man with a glance, would you wait to hear the rest? The why, the
how, what happened next? Monster. Man-hater. Murderess. Forget
everything you've been told about Medusa. Internationally
bestselling author Jessie Burton flips the script in this
astonishing retelling of Greek myth, illuminating the woman behind
the legend at last. Exiled to a far-flung island after being abused
by powerful Gods, Medusa has little company other than the snakes
that adorn her head instead of hair. Haunted by the memories of a
life before everything was stolen from her, she has no choice but
to make peace with her present: Medusa the Monster. But when the
charmed and beautiful Perseus arrives on the island, her lonely
existence is blown apart, unleashing desire, love... and betrayal.
Adapted from the hardback illustrated by Olivia Lomenech-Gill, this
paperback edition is perfect for readers who loved Circe and
Ariadne, as Medusa comes alive in a new version of the story that
history set in stone long ago. _________________ '... a must-read

the love of books and magical ability they have to bring people
together. Sometimes a book has the power to change your life...
When Anne-Lise Briard books a room at the Beau Rivage Hotel for her
vacation on the Brittany coast, she has no idea this trip will
start her on the path to unearthing a mystery. In search of
something to read, she opens up her bedside table drawer in her
hotel room, and inside she finds an abandoned manuscript. Halfway
through the pages, an address is written. She sends pages to the
address, in hopes of potentially hearing a response from the
unknown author. But not before she reads the story and falls in
love with it. The response, which she receives a few days later,
astonishes her... Not only does the author write back, but he
confesses that he lost the manuscript 30 years prior on a flight to
Montreal. And then he reveals something even more shocking--that he
was not the author of the second half of the book. Anne-Lise can't
rest until she discovers who this second mystery author is, and in
doing so tracks down every person who has held this manuscript in
their hands. Through the letters exchanged by the people whose
lives the manuscript has touched, she discovers long-lost love
stories and intimate secrets. Romances blossom and new friends are
made. Everyone's lives are made better by this book--and isn't that
the point of reading? And finally, with a plot twist you don't see
coming, she uncovers the astonishing identity of the author who
finished the story.

distance, would have in her life. But then there were other things
too, which were of strategic importance to her country: All of
which seemed to leave little time for love, or was that just a
figment of her imagination.

How much space does one princess need?
The sun is dying . . . and it's happening way too damn fast.
With the clock ticking, the Nine Planets' only hope of survival rests
on a fancy space station and the alien artefact it's carrying. Which is
why it really sucks when some jackass doesn't want the universe saved
and blows that station up - while you're still on it.
So if your only choices are flaming death or stealing a flying hunk of
space junk - you pick that busted-ass spaceship. Even if it leaves
seven strangers with deadly secrets trapped together: a princess, a
prisoner, a con artist, a warrior, a priestess, a mercenary, and an
asshole in charge of us all.
Now every faction in the galaxy is hunting this ship - from the
Sisterhood to the Corporation, and the rebellion's joining in on the
fun, too. We just need to stop drinking, fighting, and screwing long
enough to evade them all and save the freaking universe . . . somehow.
Because apparently the only thing standing between a dying sun and
ultimate salvation is seven unlikely misfits . . . ahem, heroes.
