Elaine Zimmerman and her best friends, Jackie and Pat, are venturing to a farm in Litchfield, Connecticut. It’s been over a year since their last trip together, a Caribbean cruise aboard the Princess Charming—and after dealing with a murderous ex and his hit man, they’re yearning for a no-drama vacation. During their Cultivate Our Bounty Week, they and eight other guests will learn how to cook farm-to-table meals with artisan-in-residence Chef Jason Hill. But amid milking a cow, making cheese, and managing the surprise appearance of an ex-boyfriend, Elaine discovers that one of their classmates is a little too keen on practicing knife technique. Is the killer one of the freakishly fit Manhattan couple who take their devotion to organic, hormone-free, non-GMO food to the point of obsession?

Download or read book The Blondes written by Emily Schultz and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Blondes is a hilarious and whipsmart novel where an epidemic of a rabies-like disease is carried only by blonde women, all of whom must go to great lengths to conceal their blondness. Hazel Hayes is a grad student living in New York City. As the novel opens, she learns she is pregnant (from an affair with her married professor) at an apocalyptically bad time: random but deadly attacks on passers-by, all by blonde women, are terrorizing New Yorkers. Soon it becomes clear that the attacks are symptoms of a strange illness that is transforming blondes—whether CEOs, flight attendants, students or accountants—into rabid killers. Emily Schultz's beautifully realized novel is a mix of satire, thriller, and serious literary work. With biting satiric wit, The Blondes is at once an examination of the complex relationships between women, and a merciless but giddily enjoyable portrait of what happens in a world where beauty is—literally—deadly.

Book excerpt: Though her path to the throne was long and paved with treachery, Jane Seymour would win the heart of her king—and heal her own. Jane Seymour of Wiltshire is not meant to go to Court. Not a child like her, with her lack of beauty and no title. But family connections are enough to have her named to the bridal retinue of Mary Tudor. At the French Court, the plain and docile Jane meets the girl who will grow into her rival in years to come: the already charismatic and conniving Anne Boleyn. Soon back home in the English countryside, Jane wants nothing more than peace and quiet—and the devotion of her childhood protector, William Dormer. But his family vows to keep them apart, and Jane is called back to Court to serve Katherine of Aragon, who is fighting for her life as Queen in the face of Anne Boleyn’s open seduction of King Henry VIII. In those turbulent years, Jane will learn the value of loyalty and honesty, while holding fast to her convictions. And it is her unblemished soul that will slowly rise above the chaos—and turn a king’s head. READERS GUIDE INCLUDED
