{WATTY'S 2020 WINNER & EDITOR'S PICK.} Hopeless romantic and aspiring writer Mare Atwood has fallen madly in love with her childhood correspondent. There's only one catch-she doesn't know who he is. When the beaus of Star's Crossing return from boarding school to begin the courting season, Mare is determined to uncover the identity of her writer, flout her family's intentions of orchestrating an advantageous marriage, and procure the life of writing and romance she's always sought. But as in the tales she so adores, it won't be easy. Galas, masquerades, picnics, and hunts-alongside an old friend, a former teacher, and an unlikely ally, Mare delves into an investigation that leaves her torn between three clever, deceptive, and wealthy young bachelors. If Mare can confirm which is her writer and claim his hand before the courting season ends, she'll have her wish: the love of her life, a valuable marriage, and a future of writing romance. But with the eyes of Star's Crossing upon her, a business plot forcing invisible hands, and the unwillingness of her writer to come forward-Mare's future may not end in triumph, but tragedy. Set against the gilded Victorian backdrop of coastal Connecticut and lush with pre-war luxury, fans of Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell, and Louisa May Alcott are sure to enjoy this lighthearted, lyrical novel of young love, independence, and identity. #1 Literary #1 YA Romance #1 Victorian #1 Lyrical #8 General Fiction

THE FAULT IS NOT IN THE STARS, BUT IN OURSELVES. Darkness has descended upon the wizarding world, and Harry and Haylee Potter are the only ones who can bring back the light. However, faced with the seemingly impossible task of finding and destroying Lord Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes, their future has never been so dark. Rocked by the death of their greatest mentor, they're forced to leave their childhood behind them once and for all, forsaking the safety and warmth of Hogwarts for months on the run. Tensions run rampant, threatening to destroy even the closest of bonds, and love continues to weigh heavy, on Haylee's heart, as she finds herself forced to fight against the boy she cannot hate, no matter how hard she tries. Every moment of Harry and Haylee's lives have led to this moment, and in the end, only they can bring the world back into tune. For who can fight against destiny?

Severus Snape expects his journey at Hogwarts to be dark and lonely. He's right. Mostly. But he finds friendship in an unexpected place.

Thorfinn McGonagall observes his daughter as she grows up, and realises he has a very unusual witch on his hands. ******** BOOK 0.75 OF THE EPITHALAMIUM SERIES (reading Book 0.5 not required to enjoy it) Not Pottermore-compliant ✔️ COMPLETE ******** 📘 EPITHALAMIUM SERIES 0.5 .
