Miles Archer is @nick__bateman #uglylove #novel Oh Man! He’s so perfect. #mustread @colleenhoover

Armed with a newly minted university degree and a plane ticket to Paris, Jessie’s plan was to celebrate graduation in the City of Love, kissing as many drunk French girls (or boys, she’s not picky) as she can. Only, she never makes it. When her plane goes down mid-Atlantic she’s pulled from what should have been a watery grave by an intriguing British Naval Captain—in 1805!

Stuck in Regency-era England, Jessie is left with no choice but to enter into the services of the Captain’s sister as a lady’s companion. But she didn’t reckon on the sister being Margaret Goodenough, the world-famous authoress whose yet-to-be-completed novel was the first lesbian kiss in the history of British Literature.

And Jessie’s not just entranced by Margaret’s powerful words…

As their attraction grows, Jessie must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a world where she is alone, and accidentally changing the future of the queer rights movement. Is Jessie’s duty to preserve Margaret’s history-making book? Or to the happiness of its author, the woman she’s learning to love?

Good and Evil. Two sides of the same coin? Or something less defined, something more liminal?

Entertaining and always thought-provoking, author J.M. Frey offers a collection of remarkable short stories that explore the grey area of the hero/villain dichotomy in this short story collection. Heroes. Villains. Monsters. Fairy Tales. Myths. Legends.

Who is the good guy, who the bad, and who gets to decide which is which? After all, ‘hero’ is just another four letter word.

Kalp is a widower, burdened with an unimaginable grief, who escaped his dying world with nothing but his own life and a half-finished toy for a child that will now never be born.

Gwen is a language expert covertly recruited for a United Nations initiative to integrate a ship-full of alien refugees into life on earth. She becomes Kalp’s teammate and lifeline.

Basil is the engineer who lives with, and loves them, both. But he has no idea how to defend his new relationship against the ire and condemnation of a violently intolerant world.

Part "District 9", part "Lost in Translation", and part "Stranger in a Strange Land", TRIPTYCH is a poignant, character-driven science-fiction story about tolerance, love, loss, and the desperate attempt to find connection in a world that no longer makes sense.

Named one of the best books of 2011 by Publishers Weekly (@pwpics).

THE SKYLARK’S SONG

A Saskwyan flight mechanic with uncanny luck, seventeen-year-old Robin Arianhod grew up in the shadow of a decade-long war. But the skies are stalked by the Coyote—a ruthless Klonn pilot who picks off crippled airships and retreating soldiers. And as the only person to have survived an aerial dance with Saskwya’s greatest scourge, Robin has earned his attention.

As a Pilot, Robin is good. But the Coyote is better. When he shoots her down and takes her prisoner, Robin finds herself locked into a new kind of dance. The possibility of genuine affection from a man who should be her enemy has left her with a choice: accept the Coyote’s offer of freedom and romance in exchange for repairing a strange rocket pack that could spell Saskwya’s defeat, but become a traitor to her county. Or betray her own heart and escape. If she takes the rocket pack and flees, she could end the war from the inside.

Filled with intrigue, #forbiddenromance, and a touch of #steampunk, #TheSkylarksSong soars in this new #duology from the award-winning author of #TheAccidentalTurn series.

Forsyth Turn can’t stand being a hero. Even when the adventure is over, pain and death seems to follow him wherever he goes – even into the Overrealm. Forsyth expected to return to the life he’d built with Pip and Alis, his days of magic and heroics behind him.

But then Pip starts suffering night terrors laced with images of glowing ivy and Elgar Reed calls with fears of bizarre threats and a man garbed all in black. Now, he has to face the possibility that Pip’s dreams and Elgar’s fears are connected … and that maybe they weren’t the only ones to escape the pages of The Tales of Kintyre Turn.

And if that’s the case, it’s going to take more than a handful of heroes to save the day this time. It’s going to take an army.

Luckily, Reed fans are legion.

Book 3 of 4 in the series.

Forsyth Turn has finally become a hero—however reluctantly. Now that Lucy Piper has married him and they’ve started a family in her world, his adventuring days are behind him.

Yet not all is as it should be. Beloved novels are disappearing at an alarming rate, not just from the minds of readers like Pip, but from bookshelves as well. Almost as if they had never been. Almost like #magic.

Book 2 of 4 in the series.

Deborah Brown’s newest body of work, a series of small-scale still-lifes she started during quarantine, focuses on the domestic with its attributes of consumption, decoration and femininity; painted to look as if they were alive, Brown’s subjects are inviting but also strange. The viewer is brought into intimate proximity with these chosen objects and staged interaction, forced to confront their significance. Brown states: “The most successful works in this series simultaneously attract and confuse. That mystery is the source of their fascination.”

I must admit I am a fan of Catwoman, but I think Batman has to by my favourite!
