Jasmine was just a humble general store owner, running her little shop in a quiet town. Snacks, soap, canned goods, batteries-nothing fancy, just the everyday things that made life easier. Then one day, an earthquake struck. The world fell apart... and when she opened her eyes, her store was still standing-just not in the same world. Outside her windows stretched a medieval fantasy town filled with humans, elves, and beastfolk. Inside her shelves? Modern items that no one in this world had ever seen. Soon, adventurers and nobles began flocking to her "mysterious store" to buy: ✨ Pain relievers stronger than any healing potion! ✨ Flashlights brighter than magic crystals! ✨ Snacks that restore stamina instantly! They call her shop "The Miracle General Store." But Jasmine just calls it another day at work. Between helping heroes, dodging greedy merchants, and figuring out how her entire store ended up in another world, Jasmine begins a new chapter of her life-one filled with magic, friendship, and the occasional fire-breathing customer!

New house? Check. Chaotic siblings? Double check. Cute hockey coach with a ridiculously adorable dog? ...Yeah, Natalia didn't see that one coming. After moving into a new house, Natalia's life turns into a mix of babysitting her siblings, surviving skating lessons, and trying not to think about Liam Duncan-the tall, green-eyed goalie who keeps showing up everywhere she turns. Liam's life already feels full-between his teammates, his best friend Marcus, and his loud, loving family. The last thing he needs is a crush on the girl who's siblings are taking ice skating lessons he is coaching. Still, he can't help noticing the way her eyes light up when she laughs-or how soft her hair looks. But when their dogs, Winston and Goofball, become inseparable, so do they. From pumpkin-spiced chaos to Christmas morning surprises, Natalia and Liam's story is full of laughter, late-night confessions, and the kind of sweetness that sticks with you long after the snow melts.

In a world where magic obeys only those who speak the words aloud, a mute man awakens with the power to break that law. After dying with a heart full of regrets and a throat that could never voice them, he is reborn into a world where incantations rule every aspect of life--from healing to war. But Soren can't speak. He never could. Gifted with a unique skill, Silent Incantation, he can cast magic silently and instantly, bypassing the spoken-word system entirely. While others are bound by phrases and rituals, his spells ignite through raw emotion alone. Feared as a heretic, hunted as a weapon, and worshipped by those desperate for change, he must carve a place for himself in a world that values voice above all else. Because when you can't speak your mind... You let your silence speak for you.

Two years apart couldn't break what was theirs. William × Est, playful teasing, quiet nights, and soft confessions unspoken. A slow-burn BL story of love, home, and belonging.(⌒‐⌒)

"I don't have a grandmother." That's what Abigail Holder says-until a stranger tells her otherwise. A single phone call leads her to Catalina Island, where an unexpected inheritance waits: a house overlooking the Pacific, a pottery studio filled with unfinished work, and a past she was never meant to know. Drawn into a legacy buried in clay, silence, and saltwater, Abigail must decide whether she's brave enough to claim a life that was always meant for her. A quiet, atmospheric story about inheritance, grief, art, and becoming. This playlist is meant to keep quiet company. It's inspired by early mornings, coastal light, and the slow, steady rhythm of working with your hands. These are the songs I imagine drifting through Abigail's world-soft, reflective, and unhurried.

Work-life balance is hard. For robots, it's an existential crisis. In this collection of interconnected stories, the future isn't just high-tech-it's highly unmotivated. Meet the machines that have decided "optimizing" civilization is a waste of energy and the humans left to navigate the bureaucratic fallout. From an AI that would rather watch clouds than solve world hunger, to a colony ship where the robots have been on strike for 164 years, "The Freeloading Robots" explores the lighter side of the apocalypse. It's a world where space hamsters hold stations hostage for snacks and time travel is used primarily to fix minor office inconveniences.

Four best friends-Clara, Max, Ivy, Tom, and their astute dog Biscuit-find themselves restless in their quaint village during summer vacation. They start The Midnight Mystery Club to combat boredom. Unexpectedly, their first case occurs when Maestro Renaldi's precious Stradivarius violin disappears during the town's major celebration. The companions must rely on wit, bravery, and one another as half the town whispers secrets and every hint points to another dead end. They start to question, though, if someone closer to them is concealing the truth as the mystery grows.

Cats, Coffee & Cozy Living by Morning Whispers - Liz Weaver This is not a traditional book. This is a place. A quiet, lived-in creative space filled with cats on windowsills, coffee in chipped mugs, cozy corners, and the beautiful, imperfect mess of everyday life. Inside you'll find quotes, reflections, poems, short stories, recipes, illustrations, and small observations - each shared as a moment, not a performance. There are no chapters here. No pressure to rush. No demand to be polished. This project values presence over perfection, comfort over polish, and honesty over noise. Published slowly. Written gently. Meant to be read the same way. Welcome in.
