Can You Keep A Secret?
Author: Jo Lovett
Publisher: Boldwood Books Ltd
ISBN: 1785135112
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
A heartwarming romance about being true to yourself - can friends become lovers? One secret could change everything... One New Year’s Eve, Georgie James and her friends come up with a genius plan to help them stick to their resolutions... They all write down secrets, seal them in envelopes and then post them to each other. The secrets will be revealed at the end of the year if they haven’t kept their resolutions. It’s perfect. Except... Georgie's secret is BIG... and revealing it could destroy their friendships. She has no idea why she chose that one to write down. There are plenty of innocent things she could have said – even admitting she finds newcomer Raf incredibly annoying would have been better. What she does know is that there’s no way she can let her secret be revealed. Which means she needs to keep her (nightmare) resolutions and, most importantly, get her envelope back before anyone can open it. Which, given she sent her secret to Raf, means spending a lot more time with him than she’d choose to... An absolutely gorgeous and heartwarming romance for fans of Beth O’Leary and Mhairi McFarlane 'The characters had me hooked ... I enjoyed reading this from start to finish' ★★★★★ Reader Review 'a romantic storyline entwined with the secrets which leads to more comedy and awkward situations at times and more heart-warming moments' ★★★★★ Reader Review 'a very enjoyable story with a unique plot ... friendship, second chances, and new beginnings' ★★★★★ Reader Review Praise for Jo Lovett: 'Clever and funny with a sparkling and heartfelt love story, Jo proves once again why she's the queen of page-turning, feel-good romance' Catherine Walsh '...pacy and funny and romantic... Every single character leapt off the page, and it sparkled with wit and warmth. A triumph of a rom com.' Clare Swatman 'Such a warm, witty book ... The love story was gorgeous - such brilliant energy and chemistry' Kristen Bailey

Medallion Status
Author: John Hodgman
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525561110
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
“[An] affecting and hilarious meditation on fame and prestige as seen through the lens of an airline loyalty program.” —The AV Club A hilarious and honest new book in which John Hodgman, New York Times bestselling author of Vacationland, leaves vacation behind and gets back to work as a still somewhat famous person . . . and then loses his job. An uproarious read. After spending most of his twenties pursuing a career as a literary agent, John Hodgman decided to try his own hand at writing. Following an appearance to promote one of his books on The Daily Show, he was invited to return as a contributor. This led to an unexpected and, frankly, implausible career in front of the camera that has lasted to this very day, or at least until 2016. In these pages, Hodgman explores the strangeness of his career, speaking plainly of fame, especially at the weird, marginal level he enjoyed it. Through these stories you will learn many things that only John Hodgman knows, such as how to prepare for a nude scene with an oboe, or what it feels like to go to a Hollywood party and realize that you are not nearly as famous as the Property Brothers, or, for that matter, those two famous corgis from Instagram. And there are stories about how, when your television gig is canceled, you can console yourself with the fact that all of that travel that made your young son so sad at least left you with a prize: platinum medallion status with your airline. Both unflinchingly funny and deeply heartfelt, Medallion Status is a thoughtful examination of status, fame, and identity--and about the way we all deal with those moments when we realize we aren't platinum status anymore and will have to get comfortable in that middle seat again.

Librarian's Guide to Games and Gamers

Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Helps librarians who are not themselves seasoned gamers to better understand the plethora of gaming products available and how they might appeal to library users. As games grow ever-more ubiquitous in our culture and communities, they have become popular staples in public library collections and are increasing in prominence in academic ones. Many librarians, especially those who are not themselves gamers or are only acquainted with a handful of games, are ill-prepared to successfully advise patrons who use games. This book provides the tools to help adult and youth services librarians to better understand the gaming landscape and better serve gamers in discovery of new games—whether they are new to gaming or seasoned players—through advisory services. This book maps all types of games—board, roleplaying, digital, and virtual reality—providing all the information needed to understand and appropriately recommend games to library users. Organized by game type, hundreds of descriptions offer not only bibliographic information (title, publication date, series, and format/platform), but genre classifications, target age ranges for players, notes on gameplay and user behavior type, and short descriptions of the game's basic premise and appeals.

ISBN: 1594938636
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
Rebuilding is hard, especially when both hearth and heart have been badly wounded. Renovating her home after an explosion occupies most of Ari Adams’ time. Her heart remains unhealed—nine months later her former girlfriend, Molly Nelson, is still not speaking to her. Worst of all, that wound was self-inflicted. Trying to move on, Ari turns to private investigator Biz Stone for solace. When her best friend Jane arrives with a disquieting story of a dead social worker and murky motives for murder in California, Ari naturally asks Biz to go with them. Molly, meanwhile, would do anything to prove that Biz is a lowlife who spiked Molly’s police career, murdered a witness and most definitely stole her girlfriend. Betrayals of more than one kind form the tightening net of danger that surrounds Ari in this fourth installment of Ann Roberts’ critically acclaimed series.

Pages : 289
Book Description
When a notorious thief is out for priceless treasure (gems! cats! general decorum!)—who're you gonna call? An elite team of crime-fighting underdogs, that's who! The Misfits are on the case in this hilarious illustrated series from Newbery Honoree Lisa Yee and Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat! “For any kid who’s felt like a misfit, this crackling adventure packs a wallop!” —Lincoln Peirce, creator of Big Nate and Max & the Midknights Olive Cobin Zang has . . . issues. And they mostly aren’t her fault. (No, really!) Though she often slips under the radar, problems have a knack for finding her. So, imagine her doubts when she’s suddenly dropped off at the strangest boarding school ever: a former castle turned prison that's now a “reforming arts school”! But nothing could’ve prepared Olive for RASCH (not “rash”). There, she’s lumped with a team of other kids who never quite fit in, and discovers that the academy isn’t what it seems—and neither is she. In fact, RASCH is a cover for an elite group of misfits who fight crime . . . and Olive has arrived just in time. Turns out that RASCH is in danger of closing, unless Olive’s class can stop the heist of the century. And as Olive falls in love with this wacky school, she realizes it’s up to her new team to save the only home that’s ever welcomed them.
