  A Clergyman's Daughter is a 1935 novel by English author George Orwell. It tells the story of Dorothy Hare, the clergyman's daughter of the title, whose life is turned upside down when she suffers an attack of amnesia. 
  It is Orwell's most formally experimental novel, featuring a chapter written entirely in dramatic form, but he was never satisfied with it and he left instructions that after his death it was not to be reprinted. 
  Despite these instructions, Orwell did consent that to cheap editions "of any book which may bring in a few pounds for my heirs" following his death.

  From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a deeply emotional small-town romance about a runaway heiress, a tattooed protector, and the marriage that was never supposed to be real—until love found them anyway. 
  He was never supposed to love her—especially not her baby. 
  I didn’t plan on ending up in Birchwood Springs. 
  But after escaping a brutal marriage and discovering I’m pregnant, this town—and the broody tattoo artist who swore to protect me—might be the only shot I have at starting over.Atlas Timberbridge is nothing like the world I left behind. 
  He’s all inked arms, gruff silence, and an unexpected gentleness that makes my heart ache. 
  Pretending we were married was for my protection. 
  A temporary arrangement meant to keep me hidden from my vicious husband. 
  We agree to keep it strictly business. No feelings. No future. 
  But the longer I stay, the more this small town—and this man—start to feel like home. 
  Now I’m falling for my fake husband… and terrified he’ll never be able to love me back. 
  Because small towns have long memories. 
  And secrets don’t stay buried forever.

  Mercury-addled and fabulously flighty, Pochsy is back with a new monologue! 
  Sweet, vapid, and venomous, Pochsy is an endearingly charming embodiment of all that’s gone bats in the world. She used to work at Mercury Packers. Where she packed mercury. Now her employer has moved offshore and Pochsy must grapple with God’s broken promise of a five-star future. This is a night sea journey on an unnaturally sparkling river. Harrowing and high speed, Pochsy IV unboxes precarity, consumer obsessions, the future of humankind ... and whatever else might keep you up at night. 
  Combining magical realism, satire, and horror, this monologue follows the acclaimed trilogy The Pochsy Plays, which have travelled internationally and been a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award, among other citations. Pochsy IV: because what the world needs right now is a little more Pochsy.

  A cruel conqueror has captured the Spanish city of Fuente Ovejuna. As his reign of terror builds, the townspeople look within themselves to find the courage to overthrow him. The eminent Spanish playwright Lope de Vega based his best-known play on a historical incident that took place in 1476. Written in the early 17th century, the play remains a timely meditation on honor and selflessness in the face of oppression.
