Synopsis

In the expansive "Ultimate Collection" of Kate Douglas Wiggin, readers are invited into a rich tapestry of human experience woven through 21 novels and over 130 short stories. Wiggin's literary style is characterized by its warm, inviting prose and keen observation of character and setting, often drawing from her own experiences in 19th-century American society. Her work, deeply embedded in the themes of childhood innocence, community, and social reform, reflects the broader literary context of her time, particularly the transition toward realism and a focus on emotional depth. From beloved tales like "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" to lesser-known gems, this collection celebrates the resilience and creativity of the human spirit, while also critiquing the social norms of her era. Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856-1923) was a notable American author and educator whose passion for children's literature stemmed from her commitment to social reform and education. Growing up in a large, spirited family and later establishing a school for underprivileged children, Wiggin's life experiences imbued her storytelling with heartfelt authenticity. Her dedication to shaping young minds and advocating for women's rights positioned her as a prominent voice in the literary landscape of her time. This ultimate collection is not only a treasure trove for fans of Wiggin's work but also serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to explore the evolution of early American literature. I wholeheartedly recommend this anthology to readers who appreciate rich narratives and vivid characterizations, as well as those wishing to understand the cultural and social underpinnings that informed Wiggin's timeless stories.

    True love can never die—they can only be Separated for some time. 
    City of Alcetra, Mars. 3079.  
    Virginia Dale, nearly seventeen this year, finds herself trapped because of a law that unfortunately applies to her. Against her logic and with some supernatural nudging, she travels to a city on the other side of the planet, where she meets Korbin Xander and discovers that he is more than just an aloof and troubled young man. Korbin, too caught up in escaping his own prison, doesn’t see the clues that could lead him to more than just an escape route. In a race for time, Virginia must risk her own safety to ensure that both their destinies won’t be doomed. 
    Riddled with all the intrigue of life on the red planet, fantastic supernatural happenings, and mysteries to solve, Separated is a memorable science fiction story that you will be pleasantly surprised by, a novel that is both fun and deep, full of suspense, fascinating wonder, and—most of all—believing in what you can’t see. 
    Connect with Bee Davis on social media to read Sofia, the first of a series of short stories, the backstories of Separated characters and the colonization of humans on Mars.

    My brother is dying. 
    I won’t allow it. 
    Cedric needs medicine—better yet, a fucking miracle—but given that we’re trapped in Neverland, I’m forced to turn to our enemies for help, the ones we’ve been slaughtering at any and every opportunity: Neverland’s natives. It’s suicide, but if death is what I risk to give him a chance, so be it. 
    Only… they don’t kill me. One of them saves me. I may be her prisoner, but there’s something more between us, something as forbidden as it is intoxicating. And as the lines between love and hate grow more blurred by the hour, I’m faced with an impossible choice. 
    Let down my walls and trust a stranger, my enemy, or risk Cedric’s life… and my own fragile heart. 
    The Serpent and the Swallow is a prequel novella to the Curses of Never Series told from Elvira’s point of view, and features a blooming sapphic romance. It is best read between A Sea of Eternal Woe (Book Two) and A Forest of Blackened Trees (Book Three). Perfect for fans of Once Upon a Time and Pirates of the Caribbean, these LGBTQ+ friendly adult reimaginings are filled to the brim with monsters, magic, and pirates.

    Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
    BOOK 6: THE CONJUNCTION OF TWO STARS: Marius was, at this epoch, a handsome young man, of medium stature, with thick and intensely black hair, a lofty and intelligent brow, well-opened and passionate nostrils, an air of calmness and sincerity, and with something indescribably proud, thoughtful, and innocent over his whole countenance. His profile, all of whose lines were rounded, without thereby losing their firmness, had a certain Germanic sweetness, which has made its way into the French physiognomy by way of Alsace and Lorraine, and that complete absence of angles which rendered the Sicambres so easily recognizable among the Romans, and which distinguishes the leonine from the aquiline race.
