Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

Bronwyn Loren Evans, born and bred in Wales, was to be the first British Female to land upon Mars to fulfil various assignments and tasks with a group of five others. The title in itself was a broad achievement, but when things later twist and jolt so abruptly that the entire mission collapses, her title seems little more than a depleted tag for 'one of two fallen comrades left on Mars.' However, still alive and firmly breathing alongside Mark Watney, the later known 'Mother of Mars' is thrown into a catastrophic game of chances and against all odds, has to find a way home. With this comes hardship, hatred, nostalgia and through the midst of a cheating partner on Earth, betrayal and even a kindled love for a fond face aboard Ares III. ✗ No copyright infringement intended, this is purely for entertainment and no profit will be made from this. ✗ started: 3rd January 2016 finished:

Austen O'James is the classic invisible yet inspiring teenage girl, who's destined for greatness but who's just too afraid to leave the comfort of her shell. A bookworm at heart, and a secret passion for music, living with her mother after her parents divorce, alone with no siblings to squabble with, she wishes nothing but to leave her home town and escape into the stupendous world that everyone writes about in stories. However, currently she's fighting the battles of a zero existent social life that deems her too busy. But what happens when one day a small note is left for her in the library? And then another and another. Finally when everything starts looking up, Austen starts looking down, memorising the messy loopy handwriting of the boy she's never met, yet knew too much. How long until she starts quoting Nolan? #BOOK1 COMPLETED
