  I probably shouldn’t have followed the strange Fae man through the mysterious portal. 
   
   
   
  Scratch that. I definitely shouldn't have, but when the choice was to either get my friends killed or jump . . . I jumped. 
   
   
   
  Now I'm stuck in the faerie lands, where enemies lurk around every corner, waiting to strike. The Fae Queen will rest at nothing until she gets her hands on me. I have something she wants, something she needs. Something I stole from her. 
   
   
   
  The catch? I can't remember where I put it. I can't remember anything from my former life, having erased my memories to hide from my past in the human realm. 
   
   
   
  Now I'm on a mission to recover what I've lost, arm myself with the knowledge of what I've hidden, and save my friends—including the hunky panther shifter I can't seem to get out of my head. 
   
   
   
  If I don't die trying first. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  🧵 Fabric shop owner and textile expert Cotton Wright is preparing for the annual Quilter's Convention when the event's main fabric supplier—a ruthless textile magnate—is found dead in her store, buried under a collapsed display of fabric bolts. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Cotton notices the bolts were deliberately cut to weaken them and the victim's order forms contain coded messages about fabric quality. With her shop temporarily closed and the quilting community in chaos, Cotton must measure up as an investigator. Assisted by her quilting bee and the handsome textile chemist analyzing fabric samples, Cotton uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit luxury fabrics, fraudulent fiber content, and a black market for stolen textile designs. From suspicious selvage markings that reveal unauthorized reproduction to dye lots that don't match factory records, every yard tells a story. But when Cotton discovers the victim was systematically diluting luxury fabrics with synthetic fibers while charging premium prices, she realizes the killer is protecting customers from a textile scam more tangled than a knotted thread. With the convention just days away and the real culprit still cutting corners, Cotton must unravel this fabric fiasco before her own bolt gets permanently measured out.

  If you had to choose which memories to keep, who would you become? 
  Sam has a problem. In a world where all of your memories can be digitally augmented and recorded for later viewing and sharing, Sam's are eroding fast due to malfunctioning equipment. Unfortunately for Sam, that particular bit of equipment is installed in his brain, and a simple malfunction can lead to a decidedly less than simple cerebral hemorrhage, coma, and even death. Sam's only hope to prevent losing everything is a pithy computer program, a piece of technology known as The Goldfish. 
  ◆ ◆ ◆ 
  "The Goldfish is a grounded, touching, tranche-de-vie, wrapped in a seventies-style, high-concept sci-fi blanket. Dunlap manages to draw the reader into an unbelievable world by crafting a completely believable drama focusing on a protagonist that's instantly relatable--a smart man, troubled, but still striving to do right by the people in his life. Stanislaw Lem would be proud, and Ryan Dunlap should be too."

  Notes From The Underground - The...

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  Notes from Underground is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man) who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in monologue form or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy, especially Nikolay Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done?. The second part of the book is called "Àpropos of the Wet Snow," and describes certain events that, it seems, are destroying and sometimes renewing the underground man, who acts as a first person, unreliable narrator. 
   
  Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, and journalist. His literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes. His most acclaimed novels include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). 
   
  Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest novelists in all of world literature, as multiple of his works are considered highly influential masterpieces.
