Rainbow Valley - A Nostalgic Tale of Family Community and Imagination in a Small Town Setting

L. M. Montgomery

Sinopse

In "Rainbow Valley," L. M. Montgomery continues the beloved story of Anne Shirley and her family, weaving a narrative rich with themes of childhood, community, and the passage of time. Set within the idyllic backdrop of Avonlea, the novel captures the innocence of youth through the lens of the Blythe children and their lively encounters with the new settlers, the Merediths. Montgomery's characteristic lyrical prose and vivid descriptions breathe life into Prince Edward Island's landscapes, intricately exploring the emotional lives of her characters while intertwining humor with poignant moments of personal growth and moral lessons. This installment serves not only as a continuation of Anne's life but also delves into the vibrant community dynamics that shape the children's experiences. L. M. Montgomery, born on November 30, 1874, in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, drew inspiration from her own childhood experiences and the rich tapestry of her local environment. Her personal challenges, including her struggle with isolation and familial duty, influenced her depiction of character relationships and the quest for belonging in "Rainbow Valley." Writing in the early 20th century, Montgomery was attuned to the shifting societal structures and the emergence of rural Canadian identity, themes that resonate throughout her works. Readers of all ages will find "Rainbow Valley" a delightful exploration of friendship, adventure, and the unbreakable bonds of family. This charming novel offers profound insights wrapped in an engaging narrative that invites contemplation on the joys and trials of growing up. Montgomery's timeless storytelling continues to resonate, making this book a must-read for anyone seeking solace and inspiration in the enchanting world of Anne of Green Gables.

A Twist of Demon

S. E. Babin

By day, Violet is a supposed charlatan running a potion shop in New Orleans and catering to drunk tourists who want to take a walk on the wild side. By night, she's a Potion Master, a rare, magical being whose shop straddles the portal to Earth and Hell, slinging potions to magical beasts who only come out at night. 
 
 
 
She's also the protector of both, a neutral being who carefully navigates the Accords between oblivious humans and the creatures who wouldn't mind snacking on them. Unfortunately for both sides, Violet is terrible at her job. 
 
 
 
After the last Potion Master dies a horrible death and she's pulled out of anonymity by a handsome and super annoying demon, Violet's shop transforms and she's thrust into unwanted instafame. And not the good kind, either. 
 
 
 
Suddenly, everyone either wants to date her, or they want to kill her. 
 
 
 
And, honestly? Violet isn't sure which one is easier anymore.

“Thriller writing at its best.”
--Midwest Book Review (Any Means Necessary)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

LETHAL COMMAND (Book #3) is the third book in a gripping new action thriller series from the #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews). The series begins with LETHAL FORCE (Book #1).

Former Army Ranger and ex-NASCAR driver Derek Vesper is used to high velocity, whether its wheels, wings or skis. Assumed to be KIA in a firefight, Derek, unknown to anyone, uses his unique skills as a secret government operator to work outside the scope of protocol and to embrace the most dangerous—and fraught—of missions….

In LETHAL COMMAND (Book #3), extracting a North Korean defector from the world's most heavily fortified border was already a suicide mission. Now with enemy forces closing in, Derek Vesper must orchestrate an escape across impossible terrain using everything from farm trucks to freight trains. The DMZ has never seen a chase like this—and neither has the Yellow Sea that stands between freedom and capture.

The Derek Vesper series delivers pulse-racing thrills and knife-edge suspense that seizes your attention with an iron grip. Featuring spectacular action sequences and mind-blowing twists, this series will propel you through a rollercoaster ride, from dynamite openings to jaw-dropping finales. Ideal for readers who love the works of Daniel Silva, Brad Taylor, and Vince Flynn.

Future books in the series are also available!

--Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Any Means Necessary)

So Big - Unabridged

Edna Ferber

"So Big" is author Edna Ferber's breakout, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of life on an American farm and features one of the most iconic characters in 20th century fiction, the hardscrabble schoolteacher-turned-truck-farmer Selina Peake DeJong.  A sensation when it was first published, "So Big" tells the story of young Selina, who moves to the tiny farming town of High Prairie to become a schoolteacher and winds up marrying local farmer, Purvis DeJong.  After Purvis dies, leaving Selina in charge of both the farm and her young son Dirk, Selina is forced to run the farm all by herself and do all she can to pave the way for Dirk to become a success.  Apart from the compelling, heart-wrenching and inspiring tale of life on a 19th century farm, "So Big" also offers a fascinating glimpse of industrial-era Chicago, from the burgeoning Gold Coast to the rough-and-tumble Haymarket.  "So Big" is an early triumph of Edna Ferber's, who would later go on to write dozens of books, plays and short stories and become one of the 20th century's most beloved and successful authors.
