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.

'It is past the half-hour. My time is coming nearer with every tick
of the clock.' Horace Manning, scientist, recluse and 'closed book'
even to his friends is found dead in his study at 4am, following a
dinner in honour of his daughter Helen's engagement. An
ivory-handled carving knife rests between his shoulder blades as
the houseguests gather about to witness the awful crime. The
telephone line has been sabotaged; a calculated murder has been
committed. Rewinding twelve hours, the events of the afternoon and
evening unfold, along with a multitude of motives from a closed
cast of suspects and clues until the narrative reaches 4am again -
then races on to its riveting conclusion at 4pm (twice round the
clock). First published in 1935, this is a lively and unpretentious
mystery thriller and a true lost gem of the Golden Age of crime
writing.
To gain the power he needs to save his friend from a cursed spirit, Yuji Itadori swallows a piece of a demon, only to find himself caught in the midst of a horrific war of the supernatural!

Should any demon consume Sukuna’s body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of jujutsu sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the supernatural! Hunted down by Okkotsu and on the brink of death, Itadori recalls a troubling family scene from his past. But why is the former form of Noritoshi Kamo there? As the sorcerers begin to take action toward suppressing the lethal culling game, Maki pays the Zen’in clan a visit…

Second World War, has brought to bear a lifetime of experience of
the quirky side of human nature.

Yuji Itadori swallows a piece of a demon, only to find himself
caught in the midst of a horrific war of the supernatural! In a
world where cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments
of the legendary and feared demon Ryomen Sukuna have been lost and
scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna's body parts, the
power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately,
there exists a mysterious school of jujutsu sorcerers who exist to
protect the precarious existence of the living from the
supernatural! Sukuna is on a murderous rampage. Meanwhile,
invaluabe Jujutsu Sorcerers have been taken down, and even Kugisaki
falls into Mahito's trap! Feeling the burden of his sins, Itadori
finds it hard to keep going, but he rushes off to help Kugisaki
anyway. Can he reach her in time?!
With an exclusive introduction and notes by David Stuart Davies.
Translation by Louis Mercier. Professor Aronnax, his faithful
servant, Conseil, and the Canadian harpooner, Ned Land, begin an
extremely hazardous voyage to rid the seas of a little-known and
terrifying sea monster. However, the "monster" turns out to be a
giant submarine, commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo, by whom
they are soon held captive. So begins not only one of the great
adventure classics by Jules Verne, the 'Father of Science Fiction',
but also a truly fantastic voyage from the lost city of Atlantis to
the South Pole.
Poetry is by its nature very personal and often reveals more about
the poet than any other medium can. Unlike prose, it is not so
closely bound to the rules of language and grammar and can take
wings and fly where the muse takes it. My poetry is largely of an
autobiographical nature which includes events, people, places in
fact anything that has impinged upon my life. My short stories on
the other hand can be read as straightforward fiction although
mostly they have a basis in fact. As for any wise sayings - some
are mine - others come from my father and other wise people. Jokes,
however, are few and depend largely on your sense of humour.
College brings new classmates, new challenges, and a new phase in their
relationship. The third volume of the fan-favorite BL manhwa turned
K-drama, now in print for the first time.
As they graduate from high school and prepare for university, Haebom
and Taesung have not only rekindled their friendship—they’re officially
a couple! Haebom is blissfully happy, but he also feels more pressure
than ever. He and Taesung still have to hide their relationship, and
Haebom is determined to do well in school and repay Taesung’s mother
for her generosity.
Taesung secures a place for them to live together, and they start their
freshman year of college, where Haebom finds himself distracted by all
the girls drawn to Taesung. Little does Haebom know that someone
sinister has their eyes on him, too. As they navigate a whirlwind of
unexpected events and complicated emotions, can Haebom and Taesung
weather the storm of this new chapter in their relationship?
Volume 3 includes episodes 31–45 of the webcomic Cherry Blossoms After
Winter.
