Book Description

What happens when you’re trapped between a new love and an ex-boyfriend who refuses to let you go? When seventeen-year-old Harley Belle Thorpe is rushed to her father’s house on the opposite side of the country, she’s only expecting to stay a week at most—just until things settle down. She doesn’t expect her ex-boyfriend to violate his restraining order, or for her trip to be extended indefinitely, and she certainly isn’t expecting River Havencroft, her stepmother’s nephew. Everything about Harley works against River’s world of country clubs, prep schools, and trust funds, but the more time they spend together, the less he can imagine this world—and his own—without her in it. She is everything he didn’t know he needed. But Harley’s ex-boyfriend will stop at nothing to get what he wants, and with danger lurking in every shadow, River finds himself in constant fear of losing the one he would risk everything for. As the sun sets on summer, Harley’s elusive stalker will make his darkest, most twisted play yet, leaving River in a frenetic race to stop him before it’s too late. First, Harley’s past will come back to haunt her. . . . Then it will come to hunt her. Fans of Nicholas Sparks’s Safe Haven will relish this standalone YA novel featuring a prominent family in a small town turned upside down when one of their own is threatened in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Book Description

These enchanting, semi-autobiographical stories and essays - unfolding across the rich tapestry of the American South - chart the struggles, triumphs, ecstasies, and tragedies of a soul on the edge of the despair-laden abyss of heart-rending loneliness that is at the core of all our existences. Unlike the rest of us, Ms. Heather Leigh Williams braves the breach; the question is, are we courageous enough to follow as Ms. Williams besieges and ultimately reigns ascendant over her own personal Harfleur? Denied a mother's love, Ms. Williams's narrator is wrapped in the wonderful embrace of her grandmother, a truly benevolent soul, and in the moist earth of the lush and savage Southern gardens she passionately cultivates. Lush and savage - beauty and pain - passion - words that perhaps are the best way to describe both the stories in Never Needed Saving and the corporeal form of Ms. Heather Leigh Williams herself!

Book Description

#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!

Book Description

A blues musician is blasted into a parallel world in a novel that’s “a houserockin’ good time” cowritten by the New York Times–bestselling author (Booklist). Slim’s a Texas bluesman of a certain age, down on his luck and just about broke—but hey, that’s what the blues are all about. He loves his music: “Not the popular blues, homogenized, synthesized, and zombilized; but the real down-home gut-bucket blues.” Then one day the music loves him back. In a single hot burst of lightning that comes straight up out of the ground, Slim finds himself in Tejas. It’s a little bit magic and a whole lot different, but the blues are the same. And the blues—manifest here in the form of a maple-necked, pearl-gray Fender Stratocaster with blue-chrome pickups, aka the Gutbucket—need him and need him bad. The Strat’s fallen into the hands of T-Bone Pickens and his Vipers, who want to suck up all its power and turn it to evil. Slim’s off and running on the Gutbucket Quest, with the help of his new mentor, rhythm guitarist Progress T. Hornsby, and a purely unstoppable blues singer named Nadine.
