Book Description
Kathryn Lansfield has lost a jet, she's lost her memory, and she's lost her job. She's been told that she is going to lose her life. Because, when the bullet that has stolen her memories moves, she will die. With an Apache shaman as her guide, Kathy journeys to her childhood home, to remember who, and what, she was. Traveling against time, she is gripped by a sense of urgency to find the reason she was shot. Her emerging memories are bittersweet; a home that became a house, long ago love with the Apache that seems to have been tainted by betrayal, the death of her beloved brother, Henry, in a war she had forgotten. There's also the problem of the bullet that seems to have been delivered by the least likely suspect. Is her wounded mind deceiving her?

Book Description
Mission 1: Consume 2 million yuan within 4 hours. Consumption requires self consumption. Reward: 200 points. Mission penalty: Unknown Lu Xiaochuan was stunned when he received the quest. He was told to spend 2 million every four hours for someone who was usually frugal? How do I spend it? Buy a luxury car? Buy a house? Buy a wife? The reporter was fortunate enough to interview Lu Xiaochuan, and asked: "Why do you always want to lose? And he lost with such a high standard! " Lu Xiaochuan gave a leisurely smile and answered, "I'm the prodigal son! Do you think I'm joking? A prodigal should look like a prodigal! " Returning to his room, Lu Xiaochuan complained, "Game developer, can you change to a more normal punishment during the next punishment?" The game developer said coldly, "Alright, next time I will punish you to reduce your IQ." Alright, for the sake of my Lightning Chariot and my secret martial arts technique, I will continue to be a spendthrift! I'm going to lose until the sky goes dark and the sun shines without a trace!

Cider with Rosie
Author: Laurie Lee
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1497641349
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
This international-bestselling memoir of childhood in post–World War I rural England is one of the most “remarkable” portraits of youth in all literature (The New York Times). Three years old and wrapped in a Union Jack to protect him from the sun, Laurie Lee arrived in the village of Slad in the final summer of the First World War. The cottage his mother had rented for three and sixpence a week had neither running water nor electricity, but it was surrounded by a lovely half-acre garden and, most importantly, it was big enough for the seven children in her care. It was here, in a verdant valley tucked into the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, that Laurie Lee learned to look at life with a painter’s eye and a poet’s heart—qualities of vision that, decades later, would make him one of England’s most cherished authors. In this vivid recollection of a magical time and place, water falls from the scullery pump “sparkling like liquid sky.” Autumn is more than a season—it is a land eternally aflame, like Moses’s burning bush. Every midnight, on a forlorn stretch of heath, a phantom carriage reenacts its final, wild ride. And, best of all, the first secret sip of cider, “juice of those valleys and of that time,” leads to a boy’s first kiss, “so dry and shy, it was like two leaves colliding in air.” An instant classic when it was first published in 1959, Cider with Rosie is one of the most endearing and evocative portraits of youth in all of literature. The first installment in an autobiographical trilogy that includes As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning and A Moment of War, it is also a heartfelt and lyrical ode to England, and to a way of life that may belong to the past, but will never be forgotten.
