Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

Download or read book Broken and Ruthless the COMPLETE boxset collection written by Theodora Taylor and published by Theodora Taylor. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 805 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time ever - get all three of the Broken and Ruthless books in one blazing-hot collection. KEANE: Her Ruthless Ex My ruthless ex is broken, bitter, and determined to get me back. I used to be a sensible, responsible good girl who kept her nose buried in textbooks and worked hard to make her father’s dreams come true. Then Keane happened. He was a crude, rude, ruthless Southie bully who only cared about his hockey career and pucking his way through a string of girls. I hated him, and I thought he hated me, but then one unexpected spring break kiss changed everything. I had no business spending one night with him, much less that wild, intense summer. He was freedom and ruin in one ridiculously sexy package. Moving across the country to go to med school and eventually marrying Keane’s total opposite seemed like the right things to do at the time. But now I’m divorced, and back in Boston with a nine-year-old secret I’ll do anything to protect. And as for Keane? Well, my ruthless ex is broken, bitter, and determined to punish me for walking away. READER WARNING: If you’re looking for a typical enemies-to-lover, secret baby romance, this intense, highly psychological second-chance love story isn’t that. This book is ONLY for readers with open hearts and open minds who can handle love stories that color outside the usual lines. If you’re not that reader, please do not One-Click this book. STONE: Her Ruthless Enforcer My ruthless enforcer is broken, dangerous, and determined to claim me… The first time I meet Stone Ferraro, it’s hate at first sight, and then he kidnaps me. On his mafia boss’s orders, but still...not a great first impression. The second time I met him, he called me a derogatory name, and I knee him in the balls. Not exactly the sweet social worker look I was going for, but hey, it had to be done. The third time we meet, it’s over my ex-boyfriend’s—his identical twin brother’s—grave, and he shocks me with a mind-melting kiss. The fourth time we meet, he takes one look at my belly filled with his dead brother’s baby and declares me his. His to marry, his to take, his in every way. The Ferraro crime family’s most ruthless enforcer is broken, dangerous, and here to stay. And our story only gets crazier--and hotter--from there. RASHID: Her Ruthless Boss We met. Our eyes locked. But I wasn’t free, and neither was she. I watched her walk away, and her memory has haunted me ever since. We meet again in paradise. But my life has been destroyed. I’m a ruin of what I used to be, and I send her away. “Get out. You’re fired.” “Nanh,” she answers. “What do you mean, nanh?” “I mean, I’m not leaving,” she answers. “I’m staying right here.” Little Brat. We look at each other. Her in cheap servant’s clothes. Me in my wheelchair. Battle lines are drawn. And if you think this romance isn’t going to be epic, then you don’t know TT. READER WARNING: This one is a heartwarmer, but it’s not for the pearl clutchers. If you can’t stand a boss who will put you over his knee, then skip that one-click. Because Rashid is a beast who knows how to punish. All. Night. Long.

Book excerpt: Jimmi Lee's childhood is traumatic. Her father, T.R., addicted to alcohol and suffering from manic depression, is driven by demons from his past. He is particularly cruel to Jimmi. Pearl, her mother, enables their father at the expense of the children. Jimmi dreams of love, becoming rich, returning to her grandparent's ranch and taking the younger children with her. Angry and rebellious, Jimmi has migraine headaches and becomes dependent on codeine. She meets Edward, falls instantly in love and decides to marry him. She plots to extricate him from a long term affair; succeeds and marries him. Increasingly unhappy, she learns that money does not buy love, happiness, or security. All her pregnancies end in miscarriage; slowly she descends into an alcoholic hell. Alcoholism and an addiction to prescription drugs bring her to her knees. She cries out for help. Willa, Jimmi's sister, calls Edna, a member of Alcoholic Anonymous for help. This is the beginning of Jimmi's new life, one of happiness, peace of mind, and the love she had always dreamed of but had lost hope of finding. Examining her past, Jimmi sees Angels, masquerading as humans in the whirlwinds of her life, always pointing her in the right direction.

Download or read book Evening s Empire written by Bill Flanagan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-01-05 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE YEAR IS 1967. In England, and around the world, rock music is exploding—the Beatles have gone psychedelic, the Stones are singing "Ruby Tuesday," and the summer of love is approaching. For Jack Flynn, a newly minted young solicitor at a conservative firm, the rock world is of little interest—until he is asked to handle the legal affairs of Emerson Cutler, the seductive front man for an up-and-coming group of British boys with a sound that could take them all the way. Thus begins Jack Flynn’s career with the Ravons, a forty-year journey through London in the sixties, Los Angeles in the seventies, New York in the eighties, into Eastern Europe, Africa, and across America, as Flynn tries to manage his clients through the highs of stardom, the has-been doldrums, sellouts, reunions, drug busts, bad marriages, good affairs, and all the temptations, triumphs, and vanities that complicate the businesses of music and friendship. Spanning the decades and their shifting ideologies, from the wild abandon of the sixties to the cold realities of the twenty-first century, Evening’s Empire is filled with surprising, sharply funny, and perceptive riffs on fame, culture, and world events. A firsthand observer and remarkable storyteller, author Bill Flanagan has created an epic of rock-and-roll history that is also the life story of a generation.

I’m a single father now, with a kid to look after and a shop to run. I try to do the right thing, as often as I can. Like stopping to pick up an innocent blonde damsel up off the side of the road. It's the least I can do to atone for past sins—even if Ashley’s tight curves and irresistible lips make me want to commit a whole host of new ones. But Ashley is making a mistake getting mixed up with me. I should have warned her away when I had the chance. Now, I find myself tangling with an old enemy, drawn back into the world I forsook… … and dragging sweet Ashley along for the ride. I can't risk letting her go now, as surely as I can't give up the taste of redemption her kisses promise. But how far can we tread in this chaos before the demons of my past pull us under completely? ASHLEY After my last relationship fizzled out, I vowed I would never date another biker again. So this thing with Damien? I wouldn't call us exactly a couple.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get to know the hilarious and sexy Carolina crew in this home-town series of hot romantic comedies. Your next addiction starts here: The Fix - Book 1 (Laney and Nate) The Spark - Book 2 (Fiona and Mark) The Lucky One - Book 3 (Bailey and Jake) THE FIX My life is a friggin’ fairytale—just not the kind any single girl would ever want to star in. LANEY: Like any good heroine, I have challenges to face. Getting my son to wear pants is one; dealing with my snooze-fest of a job is another. Then there’s the Beast, my freeloading brother who’s worn a permanent dent in the couch at my new place. And no fairytale would be complete without a smoking hot prince, of course. Too bad he’s a complete ass. My instincts scream at me to steer clear of Nate Murphy. Because, if life has taught me anything, there is no such thing as happily ever after. NATE: I may not be a superhero, but I do my best to come to the rescue when I’m needed. And, hey, I just moved halfway across the country after a single phone call from my mom. But being back home and taking on the responsibilities involved makes me a bit cranky at times. Unfortunately, the one time I completely lose my cool is in front of the hottest girl I’ve ever met. I’ve got my work cut out for me if I’m going to fix this. But I will fix this. I’ll be anything Laney Monroe needs me to be … a superhero, a prince, or just a guy she might take a chance on. THE SPARK Mark Beckett is the most annoying, patronizing, arrogant jerk on the face of the earth. So, naturally, I can’t get the damn man out of my head. FIONA: Like the old saying goes, I’m a jill of all trades but a master of none. What I lack in skill, however, I make up for in enthusiasm—something certain people (ahem) find irritating. But I have my reasons for living my life the way I do, for diving into one project after another and trying to make a difference. And if Mark Beckett doesn’t like it, he knows where to find the door. I don’t need his approval … or his panty-melting kisses. MARK: I enjoy the simple things in life: a job well done, a cold beer, a hot woman … you get the idea. But there’s nothing simple about the mess I just found myself in. The last thing I need is a pint-sized princess sticking her nose in my business and pushing every damn one of my buttons like it’s her job. But Fiona Pierce may be the only one with the tools to solve my problems—and the power to change everything. THE LUCKY ONE Luck is no lady… in fact, she can be a downright bitch. JAKE: Coming home was supposed to be my shot at redemption. Instead, I’m finding myself chasing after an irresistible blonde whose mercurial behavior could give Jekyll and Hyde a run for their money. I’ve got too much on my plate to get tied up in knots over a girl who wants nothing to do with me. But Bailey Murphy may hold the key to my redemption, and I’m not giving up on either without a fight. “Irish” might play with a poker face, but I’m about to call her bluff … and I hope like hell I’ve got luck on my side. BAILEY: Let’s get one thing straight. I am not your typical girl. Sure, I’ve got all the parts, but I’ve been a stubborn, irreverent tomboy since the womb. Which makes it particularly ironic that my heart is so damn girlie. It falls in love at the drop of a hat and leaves me to deal with the aftermath. But no more! If Jake Beckett thinks spending one night together gives him some claim on me, he’s got another thing coming—even if the mere thought of that night leaves me panting like a damn Labrador. I’m not about to open the door and let Jake in, but that choice may be taken from both our hands. Grab your copy and meet your next book boyfriends tonight!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harold is two inches tall, and lives as an orphan in his town’s only school, Galidemus. Like the other students in his class, Harold must catch a dragonfly to ride—but when the big day comes, he is faced with a risky decision. The outcome could change his future forever. After the fateful decision is made, Harold discovers an unlikely ally in one of his teachers, a horrifying truth about the identity of his parents, and a plot that could threaten everything he knows. Suspicious activity in Galidemus begins to rise—a mysterious student suddenly arrives, a foul smell develops in a locked classroom, and a disturbing creature lurks in another. Far Below Human Eyes is the tale of a student who wants nothing more than to fit in but is given a different story. With the twists and turns of betrayal, the exhilaration of a dragonfly flight, and the testing of true friendship, Harold begins to realize that what is often most important lies far below human eyes— And that often, between life and the things that give it meaning, only one can be kept.
