  Getting Even is not a rom-com, it's an after-it-all-goes-horribly-wrong-com. (there’s really no romance except for Shug fancying the pants off Ella). 
  Anyway, ever had a laugh contemplating the most ridiculous revenge on that arse of an ex, shaken your head and moved on? 
  Not Kathy. Kathy sees it all the way through. . . 
  Kathy is thoroughly fed up of being on the wrong end of a series of break-ups, and at forty, she can safely say that she is absolutely and completely scunnered. 
  There’s only one thing for it: it’s time to get even. 
  After searching for other lovelorn souls with their own axes to grind, she masterminds the ultimate schemes to get back at their exes. What could possibly go wrong? Until . . . 
  Housemate Sheena figures out what the whole star-crossed gang is up to and has got a taste for revenge of her own. Wonder if you can guess who she enlists to help her? 
  With a large measure of deviousness and a cast of Scottish characters – including plastic surgeons and a lovable Glasgow gangster – Getting Even turns out to be quite the business!

  Recently widowed Conor McGuile acquires an antique railcar which he restores and outfits with all the comforts of home. He learns the caboose is haunted by an Indian warrior unjustly accused of robbing a bank courier of a fortune in gold. Conor is determined to right the wrong and restore the brave's reputation.
  
  Accompanied by his best friend Néall, the pair set sail for New York from Ireland aboard Conor's Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe caboose. Conor intends to visit his grandson Cormac (Mack) in the American Southwest, in New Mexico. The journey across the Atlantic Ocean takes a harrowing two months, during which time the friends land on a fantastic mid-ocean seamount. The sole inhabitant of The Unknown Island reveals astounding secrets and incredible coincidences that will affect Conor and Néall for years to come.
  
  Once in the New World, Néall, reconciled with his wife, returns home to Derry, Northern Ireland, while McGuile travels across America. He encounters a trainload of interesting characters, from a runaway bride who reminds Conor of his deceased wife to a ten-year-old boy who wants to adopt the old man as his grandfather.
  
  Conor's grandson and his companion, Pedro, abandoned by their parents as teenagers, live in a dilapidated adobe house in Cold Beer, New Mexico. Conor spends a good while disciplining the boys and repairing their tumbledown abode. At last, convinced that the young men are "flying straight," McGuile, homesick, returns to Ireland where the final pieces of his life fall neatly into place and he realizes the beneficial effects he has had upon all whom he met.

  One People

  Set in the village of Cousins Cove, Jamaica, One People plunges us into a small community where everyone knows everyone's business, poverty is a way of life and dreams of escape trickle through fingers. Guy Kennaway's comic novel – sparkling with irreverent wit and written partly in Patwa – is cherished in Jamaica for its humour and humanity. It celebrates the essence of the island, where 'culture is something that comes from the ground up and good times do not require a whole heap o' money'. First published in 1997, the book grew out of the tales that Kennaway listened to on the island during his first ten years as an idle expatriate.

  The Quarantine Princess Diaries...

  Mia Thermopolis knows just what to do in a crisis: Rule. 
  During the Covid-19 pandemic, a section of the diary of Princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia fell into the hands of Meg Cabot, the Princess’s royal biographer. 
  As reported in media outlets such as Entertainment Weekly, The Mary Sue, Refinery 29, Bustle, and more, from March until June of 2020, sixteen entries of the princess’s diary were leaked onto Ms. Cabot’s blog, to the delight of over a million fans. 
  In these entries, titled The Coronavirus Princess Diaries, the princess recorded her most heartfelt emotions while dealing with her husband’s quarantine after exposure to the virus; her personal (and political) battles while imposing health restrictions on her small European nation; life during lockdown (even in as idyllic a location as a palace on the Riviera); and of course, dealing with her demanding royal family, especially her grandmother. 
  Since then, readers have been clamoring for more chapters of Mia’s coronavirus diary . . . and here they are at last: The Quarantine Princess Diaries include not only the previously released entries (now edited and updated with new content), but two hundred more pages of entirely original, never-before-seen entries, including the princess’s worries over a possible royal affair; a showdown between Mia and Grandmère over the latter’s intended nuptials; the eventual development and distribution of a groundbreaking intranasal vaccine for every citizen in Genovia; and, as always, a royally happy ending. 
  After all we’ve been through, what could be more comforting for any lover of royal romance than snuggling up with a brand new installment of the diary of Mia Thermopolis, the princess who started it all? 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
