Jinwoo knows it won't be long before his true power fully comes to
light and the guilds and association of Korea descend upon him,
seeking his allegiance. Since his training has thus far been a solo
endeavor, Jinwoo decides he ought to at least see what an A-rank
raid is really like. Joining the Hunters' excavation team is the
perfect opportunity to assess a high-level guild in action, even if
his role is limited to hauling and mining. That is, until a
particularly nasty dungeon boss requires the luggage carrier to
step up to carry the team as well!!

But Cheng Xiaoshi is not the type of person to blindly follow rules, and certain events end up changing course. What will become of all this?
In 1970s Northeast England, best friends Polly and April are
sitting up a tree, whispering about periods and swapping their hazy
knowledge of the facts of life. They both expect to have families
one day - it's the normal script to follow, isn't it? But, as they
grow up, education and career become important, too, and they
believe that they can have it all. Of course, the time has to be
right...When, some years later, Polly settles with Jack, her career
has taken off and she feels torn over whether or not to try for a
baby. Has she left it too late? Did she have any control over that
choice? Should she wait until they fix the roof of their damp flat?
After repeated miscarriage and chronic illness take their toll,
Polly and Jack have to face a very tough decision. As Polly looks
back on her own expectations and those of her parents and
grandparents, she has to confront what family means in a society
where 'family' usually means 'children'.

Fawning is the vital, newly-discovered topic in psychology. You've heard of fight, flight and freeze - but fawning might be the most common trauma response of all. Learn how to work through it and find freedom with the leading expert, Dr. Ingrid Clayton.
Do you avoid conflict?
Do you tend to take the blame?
Do you take care of others at the expense of yourself?
Do you live in a state of hypervigilance?
Fawning can present as being more of who someone is: smart, generous, successful, funny, or beautiful, while for others it's about being less: vocal, ethnic, creative, self-assured or boundaried. Fawning can be visible or invisible; it can manifest in our relationships to sex or money, or in the tendency to 'people-please'; but one thing remains constant: it is about finding safety in an unsafe world, often at our own expense.
Fawning expert and clinical psychologist Dr. Ingrid Clayton is here to bring clarity and support. The first book by a practitioner with years of experience, Fawning will shine a light on this under-represented but crucial piece of the trauma puzzle. Drawing on twenty years of clinical psychology work, as well as a lifetime of insight as a recovering fawner herself, this groundbreaking book brings this emerging concept into the mainstream conversation. Readers will learn WHY we fawn, HOW to recognize the signs of fawning and WHAT we can do to successfully 'unfawn', using Clayton's invaluable tools and resources to find meaningful, reciprocal connections - and finally be ourselves.
This popular paperback edition of the classic work of fantasy, with a striking new black cover based on JRR Tolkien’s own design and featuring brand new reproductions of all his drawings and maps.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected journey ‘there and back again’. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon…
The prelude to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit has sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937, establishing itself as one of the most beloved and influential books of the twentieth century.
