Book Description
Simple question: Who is Penelope? Simple answer: Penelope can be the name for any woman who has ventured into the world of adult dating and has stories that are good and bad. Or she can be any woman who has stories, fiascos and triumphs, to relate to her friend Penelope. At some point we're either the friend who has the dating experiences or the gal pal we call up after a dating experience. In essence-we're all Penelopes.Dating as an adult can be a somewhat perilous experience. I mean, come on, we're not teenagers simply thrilled to be going out with that "cute guy from English Lit" even though we know we're smarter than he is, have better manners, and are dreaming of a college-bound future to an Ivy League school whereas his aspirations are simply to get a job with the DPW in his local town. Nope, those days are-thankfully-behind us but as we go into our twenties, thirties, forties, and beyond, dating becomes more interesting and-alas more challenging.Dating life has now gone from giggling teenage angst and the exciting but terrifying possibility of maybe "going all the way" to adult women contemplating whether a guy is worthy of being the one who will scratch her proverbial sexual itch. The mantra for going on an adult date today is similar to what Mel Brooks said in the movie The Twelve Chairs, "Hope for the best, expect the worst." Heaven help us, that's so true.Dating someone new can be fraught with issues that we never even think of, let alone expect to happen. From having a very pregnant woman stalk you because you're dating her boyfriend and the father of her unborn baby, to going on what you thought was a romantic retreat only to find out the guy is into extreme bondage. From women who knowingly allow themselves to fall in love with the wrong man and suffer the heartbreak and pain when it ends, to women who are the target of scamming Lotharios and luckily realized it in time. The women in this book have many tales from the "dark side" to tell each other. See Penelope? Perils.So to all the dating Penelopes out there, have a good read, a good laugh, and nod your head sagely if you see yourself and your dating experience in this book.Just promise yourself one thing-don't give up on dating! You never know when a good guy will show up in your life. Kristen Houghton

Book Description
Penny is excited to welcome her new sibling, so throughout her mom’s pregnancy she writes letters to it (not it, YOU!). She introduces herself (Penelope, but she prefers “Penny”) and their moms (Sammy and Becky). She brags about their home city, Oakland, California (the weather, the Bay, and the Golden State Warriors) and shares the trials and tribulations of being a fifth-grader (which, luckily, YOU won’t have to worry about for a long time). Penny asks little questions about her sibling’s development and starts to ask big questions about the world around her (like if and when her moms are ever going to get married “for real”). Honest, relatable, and full of heart, Love, Penelope explores heritage, forgiveness, love, and identity through the eyes (and pen) of one memorable 10-year-old in a special year when marriage equality and an NBA championship made California a place of celebration.

Away games, back seats, and the locker room after hours...New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas is back with this spicy new adult romance, now with bonus material. Marymount girls are good girls. Even if they weren't, no one would know, because girls like Clay Collins keep their mouths shut. Not that Clay has anything to share, anyway. Always in control, she owns the hallways, walking tall on Monday and then dropping to her knees like the good Catholic girl she is on Sunday. What she wants she has to hide. Liv Jaeger crosses the tracks every day for one reason: to graduate from high school and get into the Ivy League. But Clay—with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents—torments her daily and thinks Liv won't fight back. At least not until Liv gets Clay alone and finds out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes. Liv told Clay to stay on her side of town. But one night, Clay doesn't listen. And once Liv is done with her, she'll never be a good girl again.

Pages : 268
Book Description
“Fascinating. Ellison has the art of page-turning down flat, and readers will be swept up by both the terror—and the romance.” —Booklist, Starred Review “This book casts a spell over its readers.”—SLJ, Starred Review “An engaging mystery starring a teen girl with obsessive-compulsive disorder. A pleasing mix of realism, tension, intrigue and romance.” —Kirkus Reviews “ . . . a strong, twisty thriller of a debut . . . [with] a complex and memorable heroine.”—Publishers Weekly “Lo’s relationship with the mysterious street boy who calls himself Flynt, layered on top of her almost supernatural loneliness and helpless compulsions, gives the novel an otherworldly quality.”—VOYA “A debut worth picking up. Stark and realistic.”—RTBooks Penelope (Lo) Marin has always loved to collect beautiful things. Her dad's consulting job means she's grown up moving from one rundown city to the next, and she's learned to cope by collecting (sometimes even stealing) quirky trinkets and souvenirs in each new place--possessions that allow her to feel at least some semblance of home. But in the year since her brother Oren's death, Lo's hoarding has blossomed into a full-blown, potentially dangerous obsession. She discovers a beautiful, antique butterfly pendant during a routine scour at a weekend flea market, and recognizes it as having been stolen from the home of a recently murdered girl known only as "Sapphire"--a girl just a few years older than Lo. As usual when Lo begins to obsess over something, she can't get the murder out of her mind. As she attempts to piece together the mysterious "butterfly clues," with the unlikely help of a street artist named Flynt, Lo quickly finds herself caught up in a seedy, violent underworld much closer to home than she ever imagined--a world, she'll ultimately discover, that could hold the key to her brother's tragic death.
