  "Ever been so hurt that you want to go to one's mama, 
  and ask why she did not beat their butt? 
  Somehow. 
  You thought the relationship was a lasting forever, 
  but it was an artificial, long-term shortcut.  
  You didn't even know what was up. 
  You were just the Bonnie and Clyde... 
  loyal, giving peace, a symbol of good luck. 
  What God has joined together, 
  let no man put asunder. 
  How you let the enemy use you, 
  and put the relationship under? 
  Sex addiction. Infidelity. 
  Lies. Deceit. 
  Actions were supposed to be stronger. 
  The trust is gone, pain exists. 
  You don't want to be in the relationship any longer. 
  What happened to getting on your knees? 
  Praying to God over miseries. 
  Having faith and working into victories. 
  Not living your greatest fantasies? 
  Please. 
  Who's the blame? 
  Depends on how you go about it. 
  The efforts you put in 
  is what you will get out of it. 
  Do not doubt it.  
  With God, 
  all things are possible... 
  fight your way around it. 
  A relationship that God has put together, 
  is a long-term forever. 
  You will know when you've found it." -Queen Pennin ("Color Me in the Lines-A Poetry Collection of God's Markers" 2024) 
  This series reflects the transformation of being a victim, into being a survivor. Then conquering past relationship trauma. 
  Queen Pennin authors this series and revolutionizes artistry by introducing a fusion of rap, poetry, and spoken word. This series aims to encourage and motivate positive transformation through stories of relationship tragedies where self-love emerges as the ultimate triumph.

  Books, magic, and a cat with character! 
  Travel to Charing Cross Road in London and join sales assistant Jemma, bookshop owner Raphael and Folio the cat in three spellbinding cozy mysteries. 
   
  Every Trick In The Book 
  When Jemma James takes a job at Burns Books, the second-worst secondhand bookshop in London, she finds her ambition to turn it around thwarted at every step. Raphael, the owner, is more interested in his newspaper than sales. Folio the bookshop cat has it in for Jemma, and the shop itself appears to have a mind of its own. Or is it more than that? 
   
  Gradually Jemma starts to make a difference ... and then the anonymous letters start arriving. Who is behind them, and why? 
   
  Brought to Book 
  Business is booming at Burns Books — so much so that Jemma and Raphael hire a new assistant. And that’s when things start to go wrong. 
   
  Luke’s helpful, he’s knowledgeable, and the customers like him. So why is the shop up to its old tricks, and a few new ones? 
   
  Jemma and Carl take it upon themselves to investigate, and end up finding out a lot more than they bargained for. Will working at the bookshop ever be the same again? 
   
  Double Booked 
  Jemma’s dream of running her own bookshop is becoming a nightmare. She has plenty of ideas, but her assistant Maddy is resistant to change. Come to that, so are the customers. 
   
  To distract herself, Jemma gets involved in Raphael’s attempt to recruit a new member of staff — but that doesn’t go entirely to plan either, as his wider team turns against him. 
   
  Can Jemma and Raphael work out what’s going on and get their lives back to normal before they run out of time?

  Laurel and Hardy were a British-American comedy duo act during the early era of American cinema, consisting of Englishman Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and American Oliver Hardy (1892–1957). Starting their career as a duo in the silent film era, they later successfully transitioned to "talkies.” From the late 1920s to the mid-1950s, they were internationally famous for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy, childlike friend to Hardy's pompous bully.

  Benjamin lives with a name he hates in a run-down San Francisco apartment, until his brother Billy finds him. Billy's a shattered war veteran who sleeps under a bridge with his loyal band of phone thieves, trying to avoid the police and the VA. 
  Thirty years earlier, Benjamin had an Ivy League degree and was getting noticed for his Peace Corps work on the Ecuadorian coast. But Felicia also noticed, seducing him into a life of cajoling secrets from others to be peddled worldwide to the highest bidder. Felicia's talented protégé lived a privileged life until he made a mistake and had to flee with the name Gloria. 
  Now he can only help Billy if he becomes Benjamin again, which means finding Felicia and fixing the mess he left behind. Benjamin eventually finds her, sightless, living in Mexico City. He agrees to be her eyes on a final road trip through Latin America in exchange for his restored identity, but Benjamin sees more than he ever could imagine. 
  The Server is filled with dark humor, and some people may find the images of sexual assault and drug use triggering.
