Sinossi

This is the first published collection of poetry by Jacqueline Hall. The poems cover themes of love, loss, memory and friendship but primarily they are about nature; the observation of native flora and fauna, wildlife and trees and the pleasures of learning. Many were written about familiar haunts and walks in Kent, Oxfordshire and Norfolk. Interwoven are reflections on the natural world's revelations and communications with us, the everyday grief and joy of being human and the mystery and abundance of creation and space.

Kevin Goes to Japan 4 - Stories...

Miwako Kiritani

This book is the last volume of "Kevin Goes to Japan."　Now Yukio, Tomoko, and Yumiko have arrived in London. How could Yumiko talk to Kevin with her honest feeling toward him? 
1. London After 17 Years  
2. Yukio's Yukio's Nostalgic Memories  
3. It Is Like a Moth Flying into the Flame?  
4. Mature Woman  
5. Are You a Hetare?  
6. Jumping Off the Stage in Kiyomizu Temple  
7. Eternal Love  
8. The True Identity of Tomoko the Yandere  
9. Already Being a Domineering Husband?  
135 JLPT sample questions and word lists come with the story. 
This reading level is almost N1 level because the story goes towards an end, and I wanted to focus on more plots and how the characters feel. Also, the setting is in the UK, which makes word lists longer. Reading my book does not mean that you will be able to speak Japanese fluently, but I believe you will have improved your reading comprehension skills because I made it progressively more difficult from 1 to 4. 
The paperback versions will be released soon to check the word lists and practice sample questions for some of you. 
I hope you keep learning Japanese through the bilingual novel entitled "Parasite Man," a story about Yukio and Tomoko. (Kevin and Yumiko will be there, but not soon.) Five of Yukio's colleagues weave love stories where they want to be loved. Can they find true love? The first volume will be released in August/September 2022. 
Thank you again, and good luck studying Japanese and reading bilingual novels.

A Voice - Turning Pain into Power

Havva Ramadan

In her first book, poet Havva Ramadan explores the pain of grief, the struggle of mental health, and the journey we all must take to collect our pieces and rebuild ourselves once again. 
With a mix of her most widely loved poems and previously unpublished material, A Voice, narrated by the author herself, is a beautiful collection of Havva's work that shows her deeply personal and relatable journey. Havva’s words are a light in the darkness for anyone struggling to find their own inner strength and turn their pain into power. 
And should they stop loving you one day 
I hope you know that it was nothing to do with your 
capacity to be loved but their own capacity to live up to 
the expectations they had built within the love they had 
displayed unto you. 
I hope you know that it does not make you unlovable, it 
just means that this love is no more 
but that you will be more without it. 
POWERFUL POEMS: Havva’s evocative poetry offers validation and encouragement for anyone struggling to find their own inner strength. 
HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE: The honest, thoughtful, and inspirational reflections in A Voice will resonate with readers of all ages and genders. 
AFFIRMING AND UPLIFTING: Havva writes with vulnerability, grappling with heavy subjects such as abuse, violence, grief, and death, while remaining uplifting and affirming. 
SOCIAL MEDIA SENSATION: With a million followers across her TikTok and Instagram accounts—including celebrities such as Khloe Kardashian, Annie Lennox, and Alison Hammond—Havva Ramadan’s unique and compelling poetic voice has captured the attention and heart of people around the world.

Shangri LaTitudes

Sean O'Caillane

The Shangri LaTitudes of the title are not some imaginary abodes in the clouds, above and beyond ordinary reality. These latitudes are the ones which lie where the paths of Truth and Beauty cross, forming quadrants where each sub-subject comingles to form fresh ruminations, not unlike those from Rumi, not unlike Four Quartets by Eliot, though using forms unfamiliar to either poet. There are four rooms in the human heart, each one its own experiential zone where passions move around, up down and around within the stream of consciousness, as well as stirring the subconsciousness. Perhaps the latter ruminations form the greater portion of the poems in this selection. This is a book of brief poems deliberately constructed for easy reading, brief pieces that can be picked up and put down within a few moments. One or two poems may take longer to digest, but hopefully the same intensity of feeling will be there, like a bonsai arriving at your coffee table, all trim, newly in flower.

Road Dogs - A Novel

Anonimo

“Road Dogs is terrific, and Elmore Leonard is in a class of one.”—Dennis Lehane, author of Shutter Island and Mystic River 
  
“You know from the first sentence that you’re in the hands of the original Daddy Cool....This one’ll kill you.”—Stephen King 
 Elmore Leonard is eternal. In Road Dogs, the PEN USA Lifetime Achievement Award winner and “America’s greatest crime master” (Newsweek) brings back three of his favorite characters—Jack Foley from Out of Sight, Cundo Rey from La Brava, and Dawn Navarro from Riding the Rap—for a twisting, explosive, always surprising masterwork of crime fiction the San Francisco Chronicle calls, “a sly, violent, funny and superbly written story of friendship, greed, and betrayal.”

It's a Wonderful Life - (stage...

Mary Elliott Nelson

'Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.'
Christmas Eve, 1946, Bedford Falls. Down-on-his-luck banker George Bailey feels life has passed him by, and he's at the end of his rope.
But when George's guardian angel pays him a visit, he's amazed to discover what life in his beloved town would be like without him. Maybe it's a wonderful life, after all?
Based on the critically acclaimed Frank Capra movie, Mary Elliott Nelson's reimagining is a joyful story of love, hope and community.
Commissioned by New Perspectives Theatre, It's a Wonderful Life has been produced around the UK, including a revival in 2023 at Reading Rep Theatre. Written for four actors, but suitable for many more, it offers other theatre companies a heartfelt adaptation of a much-loved classic to charm and delight audiences – at Christmas or any other time of the year!
