Book Description
Tina Halloran was supposed to spend the weekend with friends, not get snowbound with the man she'd had a one-night stand with last Christmas. She's built a life for herself in London over the last year, and she's on the cusp of making partner at her law firm. She does not need the irritating feelings that seeing Jericho again stirs up. After spending the last fifteen years in academia, keyboardist-turned-mathematician Jericho "Moz" Browning should be focused on preparing for the reunion tour of Tinseland--once the hottest rock band in the world. The last thing he'd expected was to get stranded during a weekend away with Tina, the hotshot attorney who'd run out on him after one of the best nights of his life. He'd never quite gotten Tina out of his mind, and this weekend might be his last chance to convince her to take a chance on an slightly-aging rock star. “A heartwarming holiday romance for the rest of us, with sharp characters who have sizzling chemistry.” USA Today bestselling author Andie J. Christopher

This fiction--All that Glitters Is Not God--is the reader's own story because, while reading, you'll realize that you yourself are the writer and the reader, creator and creation, hero and villain. The climax occurs in your period of living, in your native place where you're the hot and the cold, beautiful and ugly, hard and soft, rude and gentle, ups and downs, fire and water, matters supporting birth and death, also beneficial and harmful bacteria. Thus you're the god and the devil in this book. You may or may not grant this ecological novel as your autobiographical story as the narrator is a tree, and all the characters, places, times, and reasons in this book are imaginary. You'd love to imbibe the italic wording used by the tree is alien to the time and place of the occurrence of the story, especially the slang indication and figures of speech like simile and metaphor.

All That Glitters
Author: Thomas Maier
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1510744924
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
From the Bestselling Author and Television Producer of Masters of Sex, a True Story ofthe Intrigue and Infighting of Condé Nast, Anna Wintour, S. I. Newhouse Jr., and Tina Brown, and Optioned by Sony Television Productions Inside the Condé Nast magazine world run by billionaire S. I. Newhouse Jr., Anna Wintour and Tina Brown were bold and talented British women who fought their way to the top of this male-dominated American industry driven by greed and betrayal. Wintour became an icon of fashion and New York’s high society, while Brown helped define the intersection of literary culture and Hollywood celebrity. They jockeyed for power in the hypercompetitive “off with their heads” atmosphere set up by Newhouse and his longtime creative guru Alex Liberman, two men who for years controlled the glossy Condé Nast magazines that dictated how women should look, dress, and feel. In turning this world upside down, Wintour and Brown challenged the old rules and made Newhouse’s company internationally famous. Ultimately, one of them won in their fascinating struggle for fame and fortune during the height of New York’s gilded age of print—a time before the internet, before 9/11, when the Reagans ruled the White House and Donald Trump was a mere local developer featured on the cover of Newhouse’s publications. This book traces the careers of Wintour and Brown and shows how they and the Condé Nast media empire were major media enablers in the rise of Donald Trump and Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. At its heart, All That Glitters is a parable about the changes in America’s media, where corruption and easy compromises are sprinkled with glitter, power, and glory. Originally titled Newhouse, this revised and updated edition, with a new introduction and afterword, won the 1994 Frank Luther Mott Award for best researched media book of the year.

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
Originally published as Enchantée, All That Glitters is Gita Trelease’s debut fantasy about an orphaned girl who uses dark magic to save her sister and herself is “a soaring success” (NPR)! Paris is a labyrinth of twisted streets filled with beggars and thieves, revolutionaries and magicians. Camille Durbonne is one of them. She wishes she weren’t... When smallpox kills her parents, Camille must find a way to provide for her younger sister while managing her volatile brother. Relying on magic, Camille painstakingly transforms scraps of metal into money to buy food and medicine they need. But when the coins won’t hold their shape and her brother disappears with the family’s savings, Camille pursues a richer, more dangerous mark: the glittering court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Using dark magic forbidden by her mother, Camille transforms herself into a baroness and is swept up into life at the Palace of Versailles, where aristocrats both fear and hunger for magic. As she struggles to reconcile her resentment of the rich with the allure of glamour and excess, Camille meets a handsome young inventor, and begins to believe that love and liberty may both be possible. But magic has its costs, and soon Camille loses control of her secrets. And when revolution erupts, Camille must choose—love or loyalty, democracy or aristocracy, reality or magic—before Paris burns.

Book Description
Smallie knew this was it. This was certainly going to be the end of his career and life. It was an end hed had nightmares about in the past. He had no fear of dying. He was hardened, dead to most kinds of emotion. If it was going to end today, and this way, then there was nothing he could do to stop it. He made up his mind to sell his life dearly to the advancing men. Then it happened in a flash. With a rush, Smallie burst from cover, and fell among the uniformed men in a menacing crouch, a high pitch growl emanating from his lips. He opened fire with the sub machine gun he had earlier taken from one of the fallen anti riot policemen. Firing with terrible precision, and vengeance, he sprayed blast after blast watching through slit eyes as the uniformed men, caught completely by surprise fell one after the other in bloody heaps.
