Book excerpt: Me, my high school ex, and a five-star hotel room on reunion night. He can't break my heart twice, right? Oliver: It took me 7 years to forget my high school boyfriend, Luke, and just one night to-- You know what? Scratch that. It took me 7 years of pretending to forget Luke to convince myself that maybe going to my high school reunion was a good idea, that maybe I could show all the kids who'd bullied me just how little I cared about them, and show Luke how little I'd thought about him. Uh, news flash: it didn't work, and it didn't even take me a full night to realize how wrong I was. It took approximately 5 minutes of moonlit conversation in our high school parking lot (super romantic, I know) to figure that out--though I guess inviting Luke back to my hotel room, dragging him into bed, and then having a panic attack in the middle of the, uh, festivities didn't exactly help matters. And that would have been fine, honestly. Completely humiliating and a memory I would cringe over until my dying day, sure, but fine--if only I weren't stuck at home, helping my father with a health crisis and dodging Luke's calls--and my feelings about them. Luke's a player--he always has been. I know better than to get involved with him again. So how the hell do I get my heart to listen? "I'm not asking for much, really. Just you. Just every little thing about you. That's all I want." Luke: Oliver Luna. The guy's haunted me since high school. Oliver's the first person I ever fell in love with--and the last. He's the guy who showed me what I was made of--and it turns out, what I'm made of isn't pretty. I know I'm a jerk--which is why I don't date. I won't risk hurting anyone else the way that I hurt Oliver. And I've never forgiven myself. I guess that's why I decided to go to this reunion. I figured maybe, if I apologized, I'd be able to let Oliver go. Maybe I'd be able to stop thinking about him at 4 a.m., unable to sleep, googling him for the 10 millionth time. That's how it works, right? You say you're sorry and you get to move on? Only, first, Oliver tells me he's already moved on, and somehow that just makes me feel worse. Like, what the hell, heart? That's what you wanted, wasn't it? And then, just when I think I'll never see him again, Oliver lets his guard down, just a bit, and all I want to do is pull him into my arms and make his pain go away. Honestly, who even am I at this point? I have no idea how to fix all the pain I've caused. All I know is this: I'll die before I let Oliver walk out of my life again. Oliver Ever After is Book 3 in the 8 Million Hearts series. While each book can be read on its own, they're even more fun to read together. Oliver Ever After is a 135,000 word, second-chance romance full of snark, sweetness, and a healthy serving of steam. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA.

Download or read book Once Upon a Tome The Misadventures of a Rare Bookseller written by Oliver Darkshire and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instant National Bestseller Shortlisted for the 2023 Inc. Non-Obvious Book Award "Witty, literary and very funny." —Minneapolis Star Tribune Welcome to Sotheran’s, one of the oldest bookshops in the world, with its weird and wonderful clientele, suspicious cupboards, unlabeled keys, poisoned books, and some things that aren’t even books, presided over by one deeply eccentric apprentice. Some years ago, Oliver Darkshire stepped into the hushed interior of Henry Sotheran Ltd (est. 1761) to apply for a job. Allured by the smell of old books and the temptation of a management-approved afternoon nap, Darkshire was soon unteetering stacks of first editions and placating the store’s resident ghost (the late Mr. Sotheran, hit by a tram). A novice in this ancient, potentially haunted establishment, Darkshire describes Sotheran’s brushes with history (Dickens, the Titanic), its joyous disorganization, and the unspoken rules of its gleefully old-fashioned staff, whose mere glance may cause the computer to burst into flames. As Darkshire gains confidence and experience, he shares trivia about ancient editions and explores the strange space that books occupy in our lives—where old books often have strong sentimental value, but rarely a commercial one. By turns unhinged and earnest, Once Upon a Tome is the colorful story of life in one of the world’s oldest bookshops and a love letter to the benign, unruly world of antiquarian bookselling, where to be uncommon or strange is the best possible compliment.

Book excerpt: The legacy of the Marshall players who perished transcends wins and losses. Their tragic deaths squashed the likelihood of a bloody race riot on campus. The evening of November 14, 1970 was damp and chilly with a steady drizzle and dense fog. Students at Marshall University had no idea that the nights horrific events would change their lives forever. On this night, a plane crash wiped out most of the schools football team. Unless you were there, you could never fully comprehend the gravity of grief that engulfed Huntington, West Virginia, in the days following the worst aviation disaster in the history of American sports. I know. I was there. Ill never forget. It could have been me on that plane. I played football at MU for two seasons. A year before the tragedy, I left the team for personal reasons. When the school began the daunting task of resurrecting its football program in the spring of 71, it was a no-brainer decision for me to rejoin the team and become part of the rebuilding process. Media projects devoted to the plane crash provide well-deserved notoriety. Still, there are glaring omissions. Now, for the first time, former Marshall defensive back Craig T. Greenlee tells the real story the whole story about Thundering Herd football from back in the day.
