Book excerpt: In a world where survival comes at the cost of truly living, is love enough to mend their broken wings? Behind the power suits and the flashing, flirty eyes, Wren has a secret vulnerable side. Following the devastating loss of her father and the discovery of a bird journal they made in her childhood, she sets out to find something she just can't name. Is that something--or someone--tied to the little paper cranes she keeps finding along the way? With no one left to understand him, black sheep Laurie Byrd pours out his heart into letters and drawings he never intends to send--then he folds them into paper cranes that he leaves behind like messages in little winged bottles. He never dreams someone might be finding them. God damn it, Sylvia, for a few moments I tricked myself into feeling really alive. I cut it off before anyone got hurt, but just for a moment or two, I really thought I might feel something again--something like trust. Something like love. Not the kind of love we had, but something new. Something like hope. "Can you go home again? Maybe not, but you can find home when you stop running from the past."~ Katina F, Amazon reviewer "A sweet romance in the new adult fiction genre, this book completely delivers. The setting of the story against a backdrop of 'birding' was fascinating, in that it introduced a world to me that I know nothing about, and a unique way of two people finding each other. Pick up a copy!" ~M. Frastley, Amazon reviewer "I must admit that when I got to the end of this book, I let out a tiny whimper from under my breath. It was over and I didn't want it to be; the style of writing was unique, fun, quirky and witty." ~JC at All Is Read "Sweet and delightful." ~Yolanda, of Yolanda Has So Many Books And So Little Time

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting over in paradise can be murder. When my fiancé leaves me high and dry, I jump at the chance to relocate to the tropical island of Half Moon Cross. I haven't talked to my Aunt Astrid in years and I've never run a bird-themed pirate tour company, but my cockatiel, Chicken, and I are desperate for a fresh start. We're ready for sun, surf, and parrots. What we get is murder. I might be in paradise, but I didn’t leave my problems in Boston. My Aunt is a virtual stranger and I'm scared she regrets giving me Parrots of The Caribbean. Her scarlet macaw Ruby, star of her tours, refuses to go out with me. But I didn't run escape rooms for years without learning how to solve a problem. I put Chicken in a pint-sized pirate costume and we're off. Our first voyage is almost smooth sailing—then my hawk-eyed cockatiel alerts us to a dead body on the beach! The victim is an ex-employee and my aunt’s been framed. If Astrid takes the blame, it will mean the end of Parrots of the Caribbean and the bird sanctuary that she cares for. And since the police aren't looking beyond her, it's up to me to find the real killer. Good thing I have some unexpected help from my new coworker and fast friend, Meg. She introduces me to Carlos, the handsome ex-detective who now makes the best fruity drinks on the island. We have too many suspects and not enough time. But when Chicken finds a key piece of evidence, my cockatiel might just crack the case. Feathers will fly and justice will be served in this tropical cozy caper!

Download or read book Geek Heroines written by Karen M. Walsh and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geek Heroines not only tells the stories of fictional and real women, but also explores how they represent changes in societal views of women, including women of color and the LGBTQ community. Geek culture stems from science and technology and so is frequently associated with science fiction. In the beginnings of science fiction, the genre was tied to "magic" and dystopic outcomes; however, as technology turned "geek" into "chic," geek culture extended to include comics, video games, board games, movie, books, and television. Geek culture now revolves around fictional characters about whom people are passionate. Geek Heroines seeks to encourage women and young girls in pursuing their passions by providing them with female role models in the form of diverse heroines within geek culture. Carefully curated to incorporate LGBTQ+ identities as well as racial diversity, the book defines geek culture, explains geek culture's sometimes problematic nature, and provides detailed fiction and nonfiction biographies that highlight women in this area. Entries include writers and directors as well as characters from comic books, science fiction, speculative fiction, television, movies, and video games.

Download or read book The Swallow written by Peter Tate and published by Bloomsbury Shire Publications. This book was released on 1986 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Universally known and recognised, the Swallow occupies a special place in the affections of mankind, not only for its beauty and confiding nature but also because throughout much of the northern hemisphere it is welcomed as the harbinger of summer. The sight of Swallows skimming low over meadows and streams and their cheerful, twittering song are integral features of the countryside in summer. Man's buildings, especially farm buildings, have always provided Swallows with a great variety of suitable nest sites, whilst farm animals have supplied them with an abundant source of insect food. The Swallow is almost entirely beneficial to its human neighbours and is everywhere a welcome visitor. For centuries its annual arrival and departure have been a source of speculation and wonder, and even today there is still much to be learned about the details of its long migrations. There are some seventy-five species of Swallows in the world, occurring in every continent except Antarctica, with the greatest number of species being found in Africa. This book describes the Swallow's habitat and distribution, its courtship and breeding, and its relationship with man and his activities, including some of the folklore which has grown up around this special bird." --

Download or read book The Jewel Hunter written by Chris Gooddie and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tale of one man's obsession with rainforest jewels, this is the story of an impossible dream: a quest to see every one of the world's most elusive avian gems--a group of birds known as pittas--in a single year. Insightful, compelling, and laugh-out-loud funny, this is more than a book about birds. It's a true story detailing the lengths to which a man will go to escape his midlife crisis. A travelogue with a difference, it follows a journey from the suburban straitjacket of High Wycombe to the steamy, leech-infested rainforests of remotest Asia, Africa, and Australia. Dangerous situations, personal traumas, and logistical nightmares threaten The Jewel Hunter's progress. Will venomous snakes or razor-clawed bears intervene? Or will running out of fuel mid-Pacific ultimately sink the mission? The race is on. . . . If you've ever yearned to escape your day job, wondered what makes men tick, or simply puzzled over how to make a truly world-class cup of tea, this is a book for you.
