As if it wasn’t bad enough to be deemed the "most single person" at her magazine's office, budding reporter Penny has now been tapped to write a series of features called "The Dating Itinerary.' From speed dating to Tinder, old-fashioned matchmakers to up-and-coming "dark dating," Penny now has to go on a lot of dates. Silver lining: meeting new people should be fun, right? But running into her old rival, George, at her first dating event is decidedly not. Not only does the arrogant know-it-all have zero trouble attracting women, wherever Penny goes, somehow he just. Keeps. Showing. Up. Geo knows he's right on the cusp of writing success with the chance to have his own syndicated column. All he has to do is follow his agent's ideas for showcasing different dating avenues, and he'll pull in enough to help his sister's non-profit women's shelter get off the ground. Sure, his itinerary is starting to look strangely similar to his old rival Penny's, but all's fair in love and syndication, right? The more they look for love in all the wrong places, though, the more they start to wonder if it was right in front of their noses all along. Still, the brutal dating scene just might end them, if these two don't kill each other first.Show book

Wounded and on his own, Kincaid flees to a nearby village where two Mormon missionaries agree to hide him in their apartment while the enemy desperately searches for him.

Brian, an aimless slacker, works doubles at his shift job, forgets to clean his room and lays about with his friends Nik and Darby. He's been struggling to manage his transition to adulthood almost as much as his monthly transitions to a werewolf. Really, he is not great at the whole werewolf thing, and his recent murderous slip-ups have caught the attention of Tyler, a Millennial were-mentor determined to take the mythological world by storm. Tyler has got a plan, and weirdly his self-help punditry actually encourages Brian to shape up and to stop accidently marking out guys who ghosted him on Grindr as potential monthly victims. But as Brian gets closer to Tyler's pack, and alienated from Nik and Darby, he realises that Tyler's expansion plans are much more nefarious than a little lupine enlightenment...Show book

Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels. 1 - Arnold Bennett - An Introduction 2 - Mimi by Arnold Bennett 3 - The Supreme Illusion by Arnold Bennett 4 - A Letter Home by Arnold Bennett 5 - The Letter and the Lie by Arnold Bennett 6 - The Ghost of Lord Clarenceux by Arnold Bennett 7 - Phantom by Arnold BennettShow book
