    The year is 1910 in Hudson, New York, and everyone has seemed to have their futures figured out besides 17 year old Emmalynn Hawthorne. Her three older brothers, Theodore, Jameson, and Elton, were viewed as perfect in the eyes of their mother. Elton was getting married by the end of the summer, Jameson was attending Princeton, and Theodore was destined to take over their father's law firm. Her mother wants her to attend a finishing school in England to marry someone of the same or higher social status than her. During the summer, her mother deemed it necessary for their attractive and wealthier neighbor, Jack Darby, to teach Emmalynn how to be the perfect lady in the eyes of a man. The catch? Emmalynn loathes Jack and Jack has other plans than just teaching her how to be a lady. The two's unexpected friendship starts to flourish as they spend most of their summer days and nights together. As the summer comes to an end, Emmalynn must decide the fate of her future: either be the perfect wife like her mother taught her to be, or decide her own path.

    In which, during a cozy Winter Break in a cramped New York apartment, Will and Mike find their way back to each other in the midst of separate lives, college and healing. *** Almost two years ago, during The Party's D&D campaign after graduating high school, Will Byers made himself a promise: that he would get over Mike Wheeler. They still talk for hours on the phone, exchange letters like childish pen-pals, and meet up with The Party for holidays and breaks. But Will has one rule he abides by like it's the law: don't hang out with Mike alone. And he's sure it'll work. Eventually. Because it has to. So, he avoids Mike's attempts at meeting up, at visiting one another, and, lately, even his calls. But avoiding him proves difficult. More than difficult. Especially when Mike calls one evening, after two months of not speaking and four of not seeing each other, and asks Will if he and the rest of the Party can visit him in New York. For the entire Winter Break. Suddenly, Will's plan no longer sounds feasible. Because first loves are hard to forget-and impossible if they're sleeping in your bed.

    Emma Sernine is a key figure in the Lyrell revolution. She's a close friend to the prince and his sister. And she's a strong minded duchess who worked through many nights to get to where she is now. This is the story of the girl who stole her spotlight. Jane Wilson wants nothing more than to live happy with her love, but a political issue stands between her white dresses and champagne. Having spent most of her adolescent life digging her father's dukedom out of it's debt ridden grave, she carved a reputation for her parents as irresponsible and money-addicted. But she is far from her father's daydream. Between maintaining a professional peace with her family and managing a failing revolution, her dreams are drifting farther and farther away. Not to mention the threats made to overthrow her position growing each day. If she refuses to concede, she could lose everything. But surrendering, an option growing like a parasite in her mind, could very well mean the downfall of her people. *Shortlisted for The Smoothie Awards 2021 **A/N: I'll be honest this entire book was written just for me. It was a very stressful exam month and I just wanted something stupid that didn't matter if it amounted to nothing. So yeah, don't worry if it doesn't make much sense. It's not meant to.

    The Ballad of Nixon and Brezhnev is a dark comedy that follows the ridiculous and frequently humorous mishaps of US President Richard Nixon and Soviet General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev as they try to discuss armaments limitation. The story is set during a fictitious Cold War meeting in Geneva in the 1970s. Their competitive egos, cultural miscommunications, and personal fears take center stage as the leaders engage in a series of increasingly absurd events, leaving serious diplomacy to their worn-out assistants, Andrei Gromyko and Henry Kissinger. The conference devolves into a bizarre struggle of wills between Brezhnev's raucous humor and fascination with cowboys and Nixon's obsession with image and worry over possible spies. Whether they are trading gifts, having a disastrous joyride in Brezhnev's fancy automobiles, or playing petty tennis, their inability to get along leads to a hilarious confrontation of inflated egos. The Ballad of Nixon and Brezhnev, which combines dark humor and political satire, is a caustic commentary on the human weaknesses that underlie historical events. It also highlights how brittle international diplomacy can be when it is motivated by pride, paranoia, and pettiness.

    The life story of Aquarius Faye Black. Pureblooded wizarding families in 20th century Great Britain certainly did not tolerate any variety of signs which could indicate against whatever type of deviation from proper pureblood tradition. So please, put imaginations at use to describe a scenario, where a little metamorphmagus child is born under the roof of such close-minded people. The name, which was given to this anomaly, was Aquarius Faye Black, and one could say, that her days in the house she was given birth to, were undoubtedly doomed from the start. Follow her enthralling story filled to the brim with dragons, criminal activity, prejudice and obviously, a great deal of partying.
