Book Description
Being overweight isn't a crime--it's just something shameful, Andrea's mother is quick to remind her. But that's to be expected in a world where technology and magic makes body goals and perfection attainable. ***** Andrea's mother has high hopes for a male heir to lead their household. Andrea must find a husband--and fast. Without a perfect body, however, there are few prospects. For Andrea, on the verge of being disowned, the inability to control something as simple as her weight further exemplifies her other failings. She heralds from the noble class, lovers of tech who frown upon mingling with the servant magic wielders. But with only one year to secure the title of the estate, Andrea has few options. Opportunity arrives when a damaged magic wielder named Tanner comes to her estate looking for work. Servants of his creed wouldn't dare associate with nobles usually. Andrea's head tells her to be suspicious, but Tanner, who's easy on the eyes, looks like a great opportunity. He also takes interest in Andrea, something no one else does. For the first time in Andrea's life, everything seems possible...if only she could quiet that stupid voice in her head warning this is too good to be true. What price would you pay for perfection?

Thatcher Stole My Trousers
Author: Alexei Sayle
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 140886455X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
'Enlightening ... Funny, smart, original and provocative ... It is hard to imagine the stalwarts of Mock the Week recognising the Druze militia leader Walid Jumblatt in a London cinema' NEW STATESMAN 'Few standups have come close to capturing a fraction of this creative energy in a book ... Alexei Sayle is an exception' GUARDIAN "What I brought to comedy was an authentic working-class voice plus a threat of genuine violence - nobody in Monty Python looked like a hard case who'd kick your head in." In 1971, comedians on the working men's club circuit imagined that they would be free to continue telling their tired, racist, misogynistic gags forever. But their nemesis, a nineteen-year-old Marxist art student, was slowly coming to meet them... Thatcher Stole My Trousers chronicles a time when comedy and politics united in electrifying ways. Recounting the founding of the Comedy Store, the Comic Strip and the Young Ones, and Alexei's friendships with the comedians who – like him – would soon become household names, this is a unique and beguiling blend of social history and memoir. Fascinating, funny, angry and entertaining, it is a story of class and comedy, politics and love, fast cars and why it's difficult to foul a dwarf in a game of football.

The oldest, most devasting war of all time has found a way to resume, and is now inflicting itself on all of creation. Heaven and Hell are no longer the only settings for this terrible conflict. It began when the entire planet was shaken to its core. All of mankind lost the ability to move, helplessly watching in horror as the world crumbled around them. The phenomenon that would come to be known as the Wave brought about changes well beyond the scope of human understanding. Now we must survive the consequences. Angels and demons are among us; they are real. And they are bringing their war down upon us. A war in which we are insignificant; a war that we would not have thought possible and that will change our lives forever.
