After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Japan's team struggles
to regroup. But what's missing? An absolute Ace Striker, who can guide
them to the win. The Japan Football Union is hell-bent on creating a
striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, and who can be
the decisive instrument in turning around a losing match... and to do
so, they've gathered 300 of Japan's best and brightest youth players.
Who will emerge to lead the team... and will they be able to out-muscle
and out-ego everyone who stands in their way?
Anne Shirley is an eleven-year-old orphan who has hung on determinedly to an optimistic spirit and a wildly creative imagination through her early deprivations. She erupts into the lives of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a girl instead of the boy they had sent for.
Thus begins a story of transformation for all three; indeed the whole rural community of Avonlea comes under Anne’s influence in some way. We see her grow from a girl to a young woman of sixteen, making her mistakes, and not always learning from them. Intelligent, hot-headed as her own red hair, unwilling to take a moral truth as read until she works it out for herself, she must also face grief and loss and learn the true meaning of love.
Part Tom Sawyer, part Jane Eyre, by the end of Anne of Green Gables, Anne has become the heroine of her own story.

The King in Yellow is a book of short stories by American writer
Robert W. Chambers, first published in 1895. The book is named
after a play with the same title which recurs as a motif through
some of the stories. The first half of the book features highly
esteemed weird stories, and the book has been described by critics
as a classic in the field of the supernatural. There are ten
stories, the first four of which ("The Repairer of Reputations",
"The Mask", "In the Court of the Dragon", and "The Yellow Sign")
mention The King in Yellow, a forbidden play which induces despair
or madness in those who read it. "The Yellow Sign" inspired a film
of the same name released in 2001.
Yoshiki tried to pretend nothing was wrong, but the truth cannot be ignored. Hikaru is gone. “Hikaru” is here. This new version is dangerous...or perhaps not? One thing’s for sure―Yoshiki doesn’t seem to be in harm’s way.
In fact, “Hikaru” seems to want nothing more than to befriend and protect him. Despite Rie’s warnings, Yoshiki chooses to extend the hand of friendship, hoping it will help “Hikaru” become more human. But in doing so, what might Yoshiki become...?

Also published as The Beautiful Widow, Mary Shelley's penultimate
novel explores the web of relationships between three women, bound
together by the exacting Lord Lodore: his estranged wife Cornelia,
a woman ruled by her mother and the norms of aristocratic society;
his daughter Ethel, raised in the wilderness of Illinois and
utterly dependent on her father; and finally, the independent and
highly educated Fanny Derham, the daughter of Lodore's childhood
friend. At first glance, Lodore appears to be a "silver fork"
novel--a popular romance genre from the Regency era about life in
fashionable society--yet Shelley's take imbues the story with
subversive critiques of domesticity and masculinity. Long
considered the most Jane Austen-like of Mary Shelley's novels,
Lodore is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand this
brilliant feminist writer.
