Summary

A whirlwind of comedic mishaps ensues when the serene life at Blandings Castle is disrupted by stolen memoirs, blackmailing butlers, and romantic entanglements gone awry. Lord Emsworth, more concerned with his prize pig than his guests, remains blissfully unaware of the turmoil unfolding around him. As lovesick young men hatch schemes and formidable aunts demand obedience, deception and wit collide in a riotous tale of mistaken identities and ill-fated plots. With Wodehouse’s signature charm and razor-sharp wit, Fish Preferred delivers a timeless comedy of manners where nothing ever goes quite as planned—but everything turns out splendidly in the end. [Also published as Summer Lightning.]

    What would you do if you had nothing to lose?  
    Angela has reached the end of her rope. Bills are piling up, money is sparse, and her two-timing ex-husband traded her in for a "Barbie" lookalike. Depression and lack of hope put her in a world filled with never-ending pain, and when she loses the one thing she has left—her will to live—she knows there's nothing left to go back to. Until an unexpected knock on her door wakes her up. 
    The lonely, sad cat lady comes face to face with a new and exciting opportunity, if only she grabs the bull by the horns and accepts. When she does, she learns of a crazy family secret, but she also finds a way to save herself, and the people she loves most. 
    The Cat Lady Special is a story of second chances, discovering your inner savior, and of finding hope in the most unexpected places. It will appeal to fans of "How Stella Got her Groove Back" and "Breaking Bad."

    The Angel of the Revolution: A Tale of the Coming Terror (1893) is a science fiction novel by English writer George Griffith. It was his first published novel and remains his most famous work. It was first published in Pearson's Weekly and was prompted by the success of The Great War of 1892 in Black and White magazine, which was itself inspired by The Battle of Dorking.A lurid mix of Jules Verne's futuristic air warfare fantasies, the utopian visions of News from Nowhere and the future war invasion literature of Chesney and his imitators, it tells the tale of a group of terrorists who conquer the world through airship warfare. Led by a crippled, brilliant Russian Jew and his daughter, the 'angel' Natasha, 'The Brotherhood of Freedom' establish a 'pax aeronautica' over the earth after a young inventor masters the technology of flight in 1903. The hero falls in love with Natasha and joins in her war against society in general and the Russian Czar in particular.  It correctly forecasts the coming of a great war, but in pretty well all other respects widely misses the mark of the real events that followed.  Nevertheless, it is a gripping  and exciting story of intrigue and plot interwoven with love and romance played over a background of world war. - Summary by Wikipedia
