Summary

Amber and Justin... two peculiar kids, with a difficult past behind them and a clear goal in common: not to love. Love had hurt them at an early age and neither of them wanted to experience that pain again. Amber is an elusive, reserved girl, different from the others, beautiful and attractive in the eyes of the boys, but with a past that has left her with indelible scars. Justin is a charming boy with beautiful blue eyes, but with an arrogant, conceited and shameless character; full of resentment towards his parents, who were guilty of neglecting their children due to exaggerated entrepreneurial ambitions, and with a repressed thirst for revenge towards a group of people who had killed his brother in a settling of scores. The protagonists meet when Amber leaves London, the city she hates so much for the difficult childhood she had experienced, to move to New York where she attends one of the most prestigious universities. As time goes by, the two begin to get to know each other better, to trust each other, and to protect each other from the monsters of the present and the past. When love brings them even closer together, they stop denying it and give in to that strong feeling. But their lives have never been the same; in fact, an unexpected proposal will force Amber to make a radical change that Justin will not accept.

    Postmark Ganymede by Robert Silverberg - Consider the poor mailman of the future. To "sleet and snow and dead of night"—things that must not keep him from his appointed rounds—will be added, sub-zero void, meteors, and planets that won't stay put. Maybe he'll decide that for six cents an ounce it just ain't worth it. 
"I'm washed up," Preston growled bitterly. "They made a postman out of me. Me—a postman!" 
He crumpled the assignment memo into a small, hard ball and hurled it at the bristly image of himself in the bar mirror. He hadn't shaved in three days—which was how long it had been since he had been notified of his removal from Space Patrol Service and his transfer to Postal Delivery. 
Suddenly, Preston felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw a man in the trim gray of a Patrolman's uniform. 
"What do you want, Dawes?" 
"Chief's been looking for you, Preston. It's time for you to get going on your run." 
Preston scowled. "Time to go deliver the mail, eh?" He spat. "Don't they have anything better to do with good spacemen than make letter carriers out of them?"

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to truly love yourself? To feel worthy, confident, and enough in your own skin? I asked myself that same question during a three-year relationship. One day, I realized I didn’t love myself—I didn’t feel good enough to be someone’s wife, or even worthy of being a girlfriend. That’s when I made a life-changing decision: I chose to end the relationship and begin a journey to learn how to love myself. 
Choose You, But You Choose is a self-love book for men and women, offering an honest and heartfelt look at breaking free from the need for external validation. We often stay in relationships or situations out of fear or comfort, but true self-love means making difficult, sometimes uncomfortable choices. Whether it’s walking away from a relationship, confronting a vice, or facing a hard truth, the choice to love yourself is always yours. 
This self-love workbook will guide you through that process. If you’ve ever struggled with feelings of unworthiness or wondered how to love yourself, this book offers practical tools and encouragement to help you on your journey. You’ll discover how to choose self-love over unhealthy relationships, bad habits, or external distractions, and realize that you are worthy of love, trust, and betting on yourself. 
Sometimes, the biggest risk you’ll ever take is on yourself—and that’s one worth taking. Are you ready to choose you?
