It’s set in the same world as the Heron Manor series, but it stands alone.Īn Egg for Ansel: Ansel has a thing for older men. But as Lewis’s Pebble Gifting Season draws closer, their forbidden friendship turns into a passion neither of them can ignore.Ī Pebble for Lewis is a 37,000-word best-friends-to-lovers romance with a size difference, knotting, and MPreg of the penguin egg variety. In Anchorage, Alaska, where penguin shifters and polar bear shifters have been at odds for over a century, even a friendship between Todd and Lewis is forbidden. But Todd is breathtakingly beautiful, with a body as big as a mountain and a head of thick, white hair.

Omega penguin shifters aren’t allowed any physical contact with an alpha until their Pebble Gifting Season, when alphas present a pebble to their desired mate. This bundle includes A Pebble for Lewis and An Egg for AnselĪ Pebble for Lewis: Lewis has never been kissed. It really could have done with an index and I toyed briefly with the idea of compiling one myself. The result is he mainly visited places in the south of England, with only a few pages covering the rest of Britain. But he realised it wouldn’t be practical to follow it precisely, so he just started and ended at its terminal points and then meandered from place to place as his fancy took him. He decided to try to follow the longest distance you can travel in a straight line, roughly from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath. He decided to start at Bognor Regis in West Sussex on the south coast of England. So I was keen to read The Road to Little Dribbling:More Notes from a Small Island, which was first published in 2015, 20 years after his first trip. Years ago I read Bryson’s Notes From a Small Island about his trip around Britain in 1995, and since then I’ve also read A Walk in the Woods about his hike along the Appalachian Trail, the longest continuous footpath in the world, both of which fascinated me. Now, for his first travel book in fifteen years, Bryson sets out again, on a long-awaited, brand-new journey around the UK. The hilarious book he wrote about that journey, Notes from a Small Island, became one of the most loved books of recent decades, and was voted in a BBC poll as the book that best represents Britain. Over twenty years ago, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to celebrate the green and kindly island that had become his home. Quinton has a dark side and sometimes feels like losing control.

A LEGEND IN THE MAKING.Ī warrior with nothing to fight for is paired with a thieving assassin with nothing to lose. Moving and memorable, Finlater explores the overt racism that still plagues America. The book is fiction but draws closely from Ruff’s own childhood growing up Black in the 1970s. In Shawn Stewart Ruff’s debut novel Finlater, a Cincinnati housing project takes center stage, acting as a springboard for every aspect of protagonist Cliffy Douglass’s young life. Who we are, and who we become in the world, is shaped by the places we were raised. With an immersive sound experience designed around each episode, Bookable takes you on an audio exploration of a book-usually new, sometimes classic and occasionally obscure but always worth knowing about. Bookable features established authors and emerging talent in conversation with host and author Amanda Stern, perhaps best known for creating the Happy Ending Music & Reading Series at New York’s famous Joe’s Pub and Symphony Space.

I don't dare touch it, Fever is to me as Sinsar Dubh is to Mac, all consuming until I conquer. My only regret is that I won't be able to open up and start reading until Friday. I have no doubt whatsoever Feverborn is going to blow us all away. I haven't found anything quite like it, believe me, I've looked. The length of time in between books leaves me feeling bereft. There are so many layers to each character, I can't decide which one I want to peel first. The journey through the pages is like running a marathon only you're in a maze and every so often someone or some thing comes along from the side and takes you out. And then Barron's? I have no idea what hit me, high voltage maybe? Whatever it was, I was different. The Fae concept was intriguing, what would you do with it? I was so NOT expecting Mac's story, talk about being blindsided. I don't have a preference for one over another.they're all sinful so I'll take one of each please! (I know, being Alpha and all, they would insist on changing my mind.what a chore that would be said No.One.Ever.) I'm inquisitive so I had quite a few questions after reading the Highlander series. I tumbled headlong in love with Adam Black and my love blossomed when I met the rest of the Highlanders.
