Download or read book Smidge of Love written by Karice Bolton and published by Karice Bolton. This book was released on 2024-06-19 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amy Nichols revels in her role as a nanny for the wealthy Bassiett family in bustling Chicago, complete with the luxury of jetting off in their private plane to far-flung locales. She loves the anonymity city life brings her because she loves nothing more than snuggling in with a good book and pretending other humans don’t exist. However, Amy’s cosmopolitan life takes a dramatic turn when the family purchases a home in the middle of nowhere, Wisconsin. But Amy is determined to embrace her new life in the quaint town of Buttercup Lake, with its endearing streets and tight-knit community. And then she meets HIM – the town's sheriff. He's a solid, rugged boulder of a man whose mere smile leaves her breathless. He’s boisterous and loud…and she can’t get him out of her head. Yet, Nate is seemingly oblivious to her friendly smiles and greetings, making Amy think about hightailing it back to the city. She doesn’t feel like getting her heart trampled on twice in a lifetime. From the moment Nate sees Amy, he feels an instinctual urge to keep his distance. She represents everything he believes he shouldn't want – sweet, shy, stunningly beautiful, and with a mere look, she can drop him to his knees. But he wants nothing more than to protect and shield her heart, even if it’s from him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major literary debut, an epic tale of love, failure, and unexpected faith set in New York, Amsterdam, and Las Vegas The modern-day Jonah at the center of Joshua Max Feldman's brilliantly conceived retelling of the Book of Jonah is a young Manhattan lawyer named Jonah Jacobstein. He's a lucky man: healthy and handsome, with two beautiful women ready to spend the rest of their lives with him and an enormously successful career that gets more promising by the minute. He's celebrating a deal that will surely make him partner when a bizarre, unexpected biblical vision at a party changes everything. Hard as he tries to forget what he saw, this disturbing sign is only the first of many Jonah will witness, and before long his life is unrecognizable. Though this perhaps divine intervention will be responsible for more than one irreversible loss in Jonah's life, it will also cross his path with that of Judith Bulbrook, an intense, breathtakingly intelligent woman who's no stranger to loss herself. As this funny and bold novel moves to Amsterdam and then Las Vegas, Feldman examines the way we live now while asking an age-old question: How do you know if you're chosen?

Book excerpt: 'A MARVEL' PHILIP PULLMAN Do you remember the first time you fell in love with a book? Maybe you tumbled down a rabbit hole, flew out of your bedroom window, or found the key to a secret garden. And in the silence of that moment, your whole life changed forever. The stories we read as children are indelible in our memories; reaching far beyond our childhoods, they are a window into our deepest hopes, joys and anxieties. They reveal our past – collective and individual, remembered and imagined – and invite us to dream up different futures. In a pioneering history of the children’s literary canon, The Haunted Wood reveals the magic of childhood reading, from the ancient tales of Aesop, through the Victorian and Edwardian golden age to new classics. Excavating the complex lives of our most beloved writers, Sam Leith offers a humane portrait of a genre and celebrates the power of books to inspire and console entire generations. *** 'Profoundly erudite and gloriously entertaining, this is the most purely enjoyable literary history I have ever read.' Tom Holland 'Sam Leith has been encyclopedic and forensic in this journey through children's books. It's a joy for anyone who cares or wonders why we have children's literature.'
