The New York Times bestselling authors of The Unhoneymooners present a charming, laugh-out-loud novel filled with adventure, treasure, and, of course, love.
Lily has never forgotten the man that got away . . . but she certainly hasn’t forgiven him either! As the daughter of a notorious treasure hunter, Lily makes ends meet using her father’s coveted hand-drawn maps, guiding tourists on fake treasure hunts through the canyons of Utah. When the man she once loved walks back into her life with a motley crew of friends, ready to hit the trails, Lily can’t believe her eyes. Frankly, she’d like to take him out into the wilderness – and leave him there.
Leo wants nothing more than to reconnect with his first and only love. Unfortunately, Lily is all business: it’s never going to happen. But when the trip goes horribly and hilariously wrong, the group wonders if maybe the legend of the hidden treasure wasn’t a gimmick after all.
Alone under the stars in the isolated and dangerous mazes of the Canyonlands, Leo and Lily must decide whether they’ll risk their lives, and their hearts, on the adventure of a lifetime . . .

Double bill of children's features that mix CGI animation and live
action to follow the adventures of the Smurfs. In 'The Smurfs'
(2011) after being chased by dark wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria),
the Smurfs find themselves transported from their village in the
Middle Ages to modern-day New York. There they seek shelter in the
home of Patrick Winslow (Neil Patrick Harris) and his wife, Grace
(Jayma Mays), but with Gargamel on the loose, the Smurfs are
running out of time to get back to their village. In 'The Smurfs 2'
(2013) when Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette (voice of Katy Perry) and
steals her away to Paris, the rest of the Smurf gang team up with
their human friends Patrick and Grace to try and retrieve her from
his clutches. However, with Smurfette the key to Gargamel's plans
to transform his latest minions, the Naughties (voiced by Christina
Ricci and J.B. Smoove), into Smurfs, this will be no simple task -
not least because Smurfette seems rather taken by the Naughties...
Christina Landman was nog altyd ’n voorloper. Sy is ook as onstuitbaar beskryf, iemand wat selfs ’n klip kan kwaadmaak.
Maar agter die oënskynlike harde dop skuil daar ’n vrou met ’n gul hart vir ander vroue en gemarginaliseerdes, ’n vrou wat dankbaar is vir die kanse wat sy in die akademie en kerk gekry het.
Hierdie is die verhaal van ’n moeder en ’n voorloper wat die weg gebaan het vir alle vroue, maar soveel meer, ’n verhaal van ’n vrou wat bly staan het – ’n seder.

Dyer. When six men suffering from various symptoms of mid-life
angst head off for a weekend in a remote country village to

The memories we return to most frequently are the most inaccurate,
the least faithful to reality... This is the tragic realisation
made by the narrator of _Ramifications _as he tries to make sense
of the defining event of his childhood: the disappearance of his
mother to join the Zapatista uprising that shook Mexico in 1994.
Left behind with an emotionally distant father who is singularly
unqualified to raise him, and an older sister who only wants to get
on with being a teenager, he takes refuge in strange rituals that
isolate him from his peers: favouring the left-hand side of his
body, trying to tear leaves into perfect halves, obsessively
shaping origami figures. Now, two decades older and withdrawn from
the world, he folds and unfolds these memories, searching the
creases for the truth of what happened to his mother, unaware that
he is on the verge of a discovery that will destroy everything he
believed he knew about his family.Award-winning Mexican author
Daniel Saldana Paris masterfully evokes a child's attempts to
interpret events beyond his understanding. Less a Bildungs-roman
than a tale of arrested development, this story of a boy growing up
in the aptly-named Educacion neighbourhood of Mexico City is a rich
and moving portrait of a life thwarted by machismo and secrecy.
An uplifting and unforgettable read that will make you fall in love
with life again . . . 'You can never go wrong with Christina
Lauren!' Paige Toon 'A true joy from start to finish' Kristin
Harmel Macy is settling into an ambitious if emotionally tepid
routine: work hard as a new paediatrics resident, plan her wedding
to an older, financially secure man, keep her head down and heart
tucked away. But when she runs into Elliot - the first and only
love of her life - the careful bubble she's constructed begins to
dissolve. Once upon a time, Elliot was Macy's entire world -
growing from her gangly teen friend into the man who coaxed her
heart open again after the loss of her mother . . . only to break
it on the very night he declared his love for her. Told in
alternating timelines between Then and Now, teenage Elliot and Macy
grow from friends to much more - spending weekends and lazy summers
together reading books and talking through their growing pains and
triumphs. As adults, they have become strangers to one another
until their chance reunion. Although their memories are obscured by
the agony of what happened that night so many years ago, Elliot
will come to understand the truth behind Macy's decade-long
silence, and will have to overcome the past and himself to revive
her faith in the possibility of an all-consuming love. The
heart-breaking and heart-warming read from No. 1 international

romcom from the bestselling queen of romcoms, Christina Lauren!
Millie has always been one of the guys. A professor at a respected
university, she's great at witty backchat but terrible at getting
personal. Like her four best male friends, she's perma-single. So
when a routine university function turns into a black tie gala,
they all make a pact to join an online dating service and find
plus-ones. There's just one hitch: after making the pact, Millie
and her best friend Reid secretly spend the sexiest half-night of
their lives together, before deciding the friendship is better off
strictly platonic. But online dating isn't for the faint of heart.
While the guys are inundated with dream dates, Millie's profile
attracts nothing but creeps. So she invents an alter ego in whose
make-believe shoes she can be more vulnerable than she's ever been
in person. But when Reid and her alter ego hit it off, Millie finds
herself struggling to resist temptation - both online and off.
Soon, Millie will have to face her worst fear - intimacy - or risk
losing her best friend for ever. Find out why readers LOVE
