Book excerpt: A Good Morning America Book Club Pick! • A bighearted novel with technicolor characters, plenty of Texas swagger, and a powder keg of a plot in which marriages struggle, rivalries flare, and secrets explode, all with a clever wink toward classical mythology. For fans of Madeline Miller's Circe: "The Iliad meets Friday Night Lights in this muscular, captivating debut" (Oprah Daily). The Briscoe family is once again the talk of their small town when March returns to East Texas two years after he was caught having an affair with his brother's wife. His mother, June, hardly welcomes him back with open arms. Her husband's own past affairs have made her tired of being the long-suffering spouse. Is it, perhaps, time for a change? Within days of March's arrival, someone is dead, marriages are upended, and even the strongest of alliances are shattered. In the end, the ties that hold them together might be exactly what drag them all down. An expansive tour de force, Olympus, Texas cleverly weaves elements of classical mythology into a thoroughly modern family saga, rich in drama and psychological complexity. After all, at some point, don't we all wonder: What good is this destructive force we call love?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans have been telling one another stories ever since they first developed language. Stories that teach, stories that entertain. The ancient Greek story tellers had a nasty habit of punishing their main characters, especially when it came to romance. I’m bringing these couples into modern times and giving them not only new lives, but also another chance to find the happily ever after they deserve. This collection contains the first four books in the Romancing a God series. Pandora Curiosity killed the cat. It also changed the course of mankind. Pandora Jones roams her city streets at night, collecting the worries that keep others awake and securing them in special boxes that she makes. The ultimate lonely girl, trying to atone for her ancestor’s costly mistake, just like the long line of Pandoras before her. Zeus sends his handsome eldest son to set things right with Pandora but neglects to tell Zee exactly who to look for, what to do, or even why he’s been sent. That would take all the fun out of the game and everyone knows the Olympic gods love their games. Cassandra Engaged to marry Portland’s most eligible bachelor, an up and coming lawyer in the city’s most prestigious law firm, Cassandra Brown can’t believe her good fortune. Her life is perfect except for one teeny, tiny thing–she can see the future, but no one ever listens. Handsome Pauli knows about Cassie’s gift. He knows why no one listens when she tries to warn them. He even knows what needs to be done about it–but can he convince Cassie to give up her perfect dream? Artemis Artemis Smith prefers work over romance. After five years of plotting and planning she lands a coveted project in her beloved Portland, Maine. Unfortunately, her father lines up financing for the project with Jack Orion, a man who plays hard, works hard, and goes through beautiful women like they’re an endless commodity. Artemis has no intention of becoming one of Jack’s conquests, but Orion can’t ignore a challenge–especially when the prize is the intelligent and alluring Artemis Smith. Andromeda Constantly judged by her looks, Andromeda White doesn’t fit in anywhere. She tries her best to fulfill her parents’ expectations but never earns their love, the one thing she most wants. Now they expect her to make the ultimate sacrifice for their business–to marry a man she despises. Andromeda rebels and makes a bid for love and happiness–until she discovers the fates of hundreds lie in her hands. Can she find a way to free herself from her destiny and seize happiness?

Download or read book Designer Suburbs written by Judith O'Callaghan and published by NewSouth. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1950s, 60s and 70s architects like Harry Seidler, Robin Boyd, Ken Woolley, Michael Dysart and Graeme Gunn applied their talents to project homes, bringing high-end design to the suburbs. Backed by Pettit & Sevitt, Merchant Builders and other project builders, architects created small, deceptively simple houses which transformed the look of suburbia. Today, the distance between the architectural profession and suburban housing has never been greater, with Australia’s super-sized, energy-guzzling project homes the biggest in the world. With photographs by Max Dupain, David Moore, Wolfgang Sievers and Eric Sierins alongside original plans, Designer Suburbs explores the relationship between architects, builders and affordable housing since 1900 and the lessons we can learn from twentieth-century designer suburbs.

Book excerpt: High school romance is tough—even for a bona fide love goddess. Can Cupid succeed as a mortal matchmaker? When Eros (aka Cupid) is expelled from Olympus for defying Zeus after falling in love with Orion, she is banished to what she believes to be hell. We call it New Jersey. If she ever wants to go back to the comforts of her old life, she will have to find love for three couples—without using her powers. Eros, now calling herself True, immediately identifies her first project in Charlie and believes finding him love will be a piece of cake. Charlie is new at school and eager to break out of his old image of band geek, so it’s lucky for him when he falls in with the right crowd on his first day. But music is still his passion. That is, until he meets Katrina... Katrina is floundering after the death of her father and takes refuge with a boy who, while not entirely supportive, will be there when she needs him, unlike her mother. Too bad True thinks any girl Charlie talks to is perfect for him. Can she get out of her own way and help Charlie and Katrina connect, or will she be stuck in New Jersey forever?
