The Recollections of Geoffrey Hamlyn

Henry Kingsley

Beschreibung

In "The Recollections of Geoffrey Hamlyn" by Henry Kingsley, readers are transported to the Australian outback in the mid-19th century, where the protagonist embarks on a journey of self-discovery and moral growth. The novel is characterized by its vivid descriptions of the harsh landscape, intense character interactions, and exploration of themes such as loyalty, friendship, and the clash between civilization and the wilderness. Kingsley's writing style is both engaging and thought-provoking, making the book a captivating read for those interested in historical fiction and adventure literature. The novel's exploration of the Australian frontier also sheds light on the complexities of colonial life and the struggles faced by early settlers. Henry Kingsley, influenced by his own experiences in Australia, drew inspiration from the country's landscape and history to create a compelling narrative that resonates with readers to this day. I highly recommend "The Recollections of Geoffrey Hamlyn" to anyone looking for a richly detailed and emotionally powerful novel that delves into the human experience amidst the backdrop of a rugged and untamed land.

RAZE vs SNATCHERS

Shelley Cass

“Razes, Razes, everywhere ... snatchers, snatchers all beware ...” Hato’s gang must go up against an underground system trading in the lives of youths, or risk losing the kid brother of their group forever.
Kiddo prefers to be a wallflower. But being a ten out of ten on a looks scale makes that impossible … Especially when snatchers are out to find and sell the most aesthetically pleasing, most vulnerable youths they can snatch this season. Yet Kiddo has also caught the attention of the mysterious Raze. A snatcher hunter, Kiddo's new protector, and an irresistible flirt who is very interested in keeping Kiddo alive.
A gritty urban backdrop, gang warfare, a vigilante hero, a corrupt system, and a bisexual awakening. Join the action and enjoy the ride.
Interview with the Author:
Q. What could readers compare the ‘Raze Warfare’ series to?
A. It has a similar tone to ‘The Outsiders,’ with a gang like a family of very different people who need each other.
Q. What makes this series different?
A. Girls are kick ass members of the gang. Sexualities are open (there’s a bisexual triad romance – why choose?). There are diverse racial backgrounds. There’s some gender bending. The enemy is covert, but widespread – a corrupt underground system. And the gang members enforce vigilante justice, while battling their own demons – from trauma to learning difficulties.
Q. What do you love most about this series?
A. I love that Kiddo and Raze are so different – opposites attract. Their deepening, first time gay romance felt so intimate and sweet and real to write. I especially loved including so many diverse kinds of people without feeling the need to centre the story on their race/gender/sexuality/difficulites, because people are people. I loved having them there, as they are, rolling with the punches as people do – rather than the storyline centring on any stereotypes.

Not Dating Material

Saxon James

MOLLY 
Moving to Seattle is supposed to be all about getting a fresh start and leaving the bitter man I was becoming behind. 
I have new roommates–quirky, sometimes strange, roommates–a nosy, next door neighbor and a grumpy kitty for company, but even surrounded by people, I still don’t feel like I belong. Plus, it turns out the men in Seattle are exactly the same as the ones I left behind, and my string of romantic disconnections continues. 
It’s not until one of my roommates, Seven, hits me with some hard truths that I realize where I was going wrong. 
Maybe the men aren’t the problem. 
I am. 
And there’s only one way to fix that. 
SEVEN 
Being found tied up naked to my bed by my cute new roommate isn’t an ideal way for us to start a friendship. 
But apparently a quid-pro-quo is. 
He keeps his pretty lips zipped about the compromising position, and I step in as his dating coach. We go out, I note where he’s going wrong, and he magically becomes dating material. 
The problem is, between my codependent brother Xander and a new best friend I can’t get rid of, Molly and I are the target of a matchmaking scheme. My life is way too busy to add another person to it, and Molly is the kinda guy who needs to be made a priority, which I just can’t do. Xander’s medical anxiety takes up too much of my time, and I’ve never found a partner who doesn’t resent it. 
I’m determined to help Molly find his ever after. 
But that guy will never be me.
