💖2022 WATTYS WINNER IN NEW ADULT CATEGORY!💖 "You know what this reminds me of?" he asked. I shook my head, feeling the rush of our jump stir in my belly. "Being on stage?" "Roses," he said. "When we ended up at the bar where your parents met, and you got me roses, I thought it was fitting. We never would've gone in there if I didn't run out of gas. You know the saying, stop and smell the roses? I thought I would help you slow down and appreciate life. And here you are doing it for me. I guess whenever we're together, we'll always be smelling roses." 🌻🌻🌻 Nora's determined to be more independent, but if she were honest, she's terrified of the idea. For the last four years, she's ran her family's restaurant and raised her younger siblings well. But with high school over, she fears she may do it for the rest of her life. Then she meets local rockstar, Wren. He's the town's resident heartthrob, and after a year of touring, he's desperate for a break. But when he sets out to make the album of his career, he can't seem to find inspiration. Wren's dreams have given him the independence Nora craves, but she believes dreams are a luxury she can't afford. He wants to prove her wrong. When Nora agrees to be his muse for the summer, he promises to make her dreams come true. No matter how big, small, or completely ridiculous, he will fulfill them all. But as Nora gets further away from her comfort zone, she yearns for her old life back. While her family offers her security, Wren offers her freedom. When her checklist is complete, she'll have to decide which one she can live without. 🔥HIGHEST RANKINGS🔥 🏖 #1 for #Summerfling ✊🏿 #2 for #BIPOC 🪂 #5 for #Bucketlist

|| ✨ 2022 WATTYS WINNER ✨ || || x8 FEATURED || Kill the monsters. Claim the bounty. Escape to Alaska. ------------ Ten years ago, an event known as The Turning upset the balance of Earth's ecosystems. Demons emerged from the depths of Hell, dragging along with them obscure creatures from old myths and legends. In the midst of all this chaos, eighteen-year-old Raine Barlow makes a living by hunting monsters. No price is too high, no monster is too deadly. Her goal is simple: to make enough money to escape to Alaska -- where her parents are rumored to be held. And Raine just might be able to do it: the mayor of Eureka has agreed to pay her $10,000 to escort his young daughter to the City of Dust -- a former metropolis surrounded by walls and secrets. Armed with poison-tipped crossbow bolts, her own brand of small magic, and an aging battle-elk named Winston, Raine and her charge must trek across the dust-covered and desolate stretches of a California highway, all the while trying to avoid the monsters and demons who are trying to take over the world.

• WATTYS 2022 WINNER • When Iris Monet married millionaire Jared Darling, she had only one rule - that he could cheat on her with anyone except the household staff. This arrangement of theirs would have gone on quite happily if she hadn't caught him on the snooker table with their maid, and on their wedding anniversary night no less. Humiliated and more than a little drunk, Iris storms out of the house vowing never to return unless it's for a well-compensated divorce. But as the train trundles out of the city, she slowly calms down and quickly realizes that there's a problem. A big problem. Because the only thing Iris has ever done in her life is being a trophy wife. The prospect of unfunded singlehood on the cusp of her thirties is a horrifying nightmare she's unprepared to deal with. So naturally, when she lays eyes on who she thinks is the richest bachelor in Ryefair, Iris is more than ready to put her claws into him. Except, Satoh Akai isn't the richest bachelor in Ryefair - not by a long shot. And as someone who speaks better with animals than people, romance is the furthest thing from his mind. When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, anything is possible but one thing is certain - worlds will collide and hearts will burn. ✒ 17th November 2021 (start) ✒ 27th July 2022 (end)

Nineteen-year-old Marin Larkin has been working as a personal assistant for her famous sister Liv for the past year. Even though Marin and Liv are close, Marin has always felt like she doesn't belong in her sister's world - that she isn't good enough. When Marin's family moved to Los Angeles four years earlier, Marin naively fell in love with Connor O'Quinn, a boy who worked with Liv on both of their first movies. But soon after, Connor became a Hollywood heartthrob, and Marin's love turned to hate. Liv and Connor are now working together again for the first time in four years on a movie in Toronto, and Marin can't help but feel like she is right back to her fifteen-year-old self after years of pushing him away. The story weaves back through the years of their distant friendship and reveals what Connor must overcome to show Marin he is no longer the seventeen-year-old boy he once was. But Marin has never realized that her point of view isn't the whole truth, and she has never even considered Connor's.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own and did not write this story. It is a copy of Original Book by Robert Louis Stevenson that I have uploaded here because it was way better to read than the PDF I was given in school. But I decided to let it stay here to help spread the book to wider audiences. Hope you enjoy. ----- Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Publisher: Longmans, Green and Co. Year: 1886 ----- It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. ------------
