Book Description
Ahn In-sook, herself translated 92 poems on her first collection of poems. In the poet's words, she said that she faced painful but joyful moments while translating every poem. Each poem including her tears and laughter leaves a touching aftertaste with a balance of understated language and emotions. She captures the joys and sorrows of everyday life, and ordinary but special aspects of life and uses them as a subject of poetry as if talking with a friendly friend. The collection of poems is all in English, and the Korean version can refer to OsongForest's 『그녀가 피아노 치는 이유』.

Estlyn is good at cutting deals. The one she’s working on now will get her a clean criminal record—and get her brother and incarcerated father off the hook, too. The only problem is, she’s going to have to orchestrate a murder to get it done. Gavin Young wants to be governor of California, and he wants it so badly that he’s willing to do anything to win. Estlyn’s job is pretty straightforward: make Young look like the better candidate. But to do that, she’ll have to frame an acquitted man for a gruesome double homicide. Young will present himself as the tough-on-crime candidate, righting society’s wrong… and then Estlyn’s family will be free. But first, she has to produce two dead bodies and a felon's prints on the murder weapon. It’s a conscience-wrenching assignment.

Book Description
An important new voice provides a riveting look at why video games need feminism and why all of us should make space for more play in our lives. "You play like a girl": it's meant to be an insult, accusing a player of subpar, un-fun playing. If you're a girl, and you grow up, do you "play like a woman"--whatever that means? In this provocative and enlightening book, Shira Chess urges us to play like feminists. Furthermore, she urges us to play video games like feminists. Playing like a feminist is empowering and disruptive; it exceeds the boundaries of gender yet still advocates for gender equality. Feminism need video games as much as video games need feminism.

Book Description
The uneasy relationship of two glamorous leading ladies living in the spotlight – Stars of Stage and Screen. They are sworn enemies whose lives have been in collision from their first meeting during World War Two as seven-year-old children in blitz ridden Hull until their uneasy reconciliation in their forties. The settings are real and so are some of the events, but all the characters are figments of my imagination which has been nourished by a lifetime in the business known as show. ‘You must get over this antagonism to Jessica. Nobody else has a problem with her. She is one of the most popular ladies in the business.’ ‘Huh, nobody has known her as long as I have.’ ‘That is as maybe. But you are hardly as high in the popularity stakes.’ Maxine shrugged. ‘I’m not in the business to be popular.’ ‘Then that is a problem. You really should be a little more careful. Actors have ways of destroying those who are dismissive of them. They can ruin your performance in ways you will never understand.’ ‘It’s very kind of you Stanley to take such trouble over me but I have never kowtowed to anyone in my life and I’m not about to start now.’ ‘Then you may just find you are out of a job. Amy is learning your part – right now as we speak.’
