Sinopsis

The Norse myths that inspired generations of superhero fans and mythology-lovers, perfect for fans of the Loki television series and the MCU. Before he was the infamous movie villain, Loki was the beloved God of Norse lore.  From Padriac Colum, three-time Newbery honor winner, comes this delightful collection of some of the greatest myths ever told, highlighting Loki’s grand adventures.  Loki’s antics are plentiful:  Convincing Thor to wear a wedding gown. Chopping off Sif’s golden locks. Masquerading as a maiden among the Giants. Tricking dwarves into molding the ever-popular hammer. And he does it all to save Asgard, time and again. But Loki tires of the Gods’ idiocy. And he’s done being their lackey.  Could his anger lead to the destruction of Asgard and all the Gods? Or will the Gods win? Including a foreword from legendary Marvel writer Peter David, this is the origin story that all true Loki fans must know!

    'An utterly gorgeous romantic read. It made me want to pack my bags for Paris!' Sandy Barker  
    Irena and Sacha come from two very different worlds.  
    An heiress to a fortune, Ren’s home-from-home is the Ritz, while the handsome and brooding Sacha has grown up in Paris’s less salubrious suburbs. So when an accident brings them together, romance seems an unlikely outcome. 
    When Ren’s society engagement reaches a very public end, Irena’s over-protective grandmother wants her home in London. Ren needs an excuse to stay in Paris, and so after some persuasion, Sacha agrees to pose as her new boyfriend. But only for the twenty-one days Ren's grandmother has allowed her to nurse her broken heart before heading home to face the music. 
    Over the course of three weeks, Ren realises the world outside her exclusive bubble is more beautiful than she could have imagined. While Sacha reluctantly begins to see the goodness of the woman behind the wealth. When their time is up, will Ren want to return to her gilded cage, and will Sacha be able to let go of the woman he’s been ‘pretending’ to fall in love with… 
    Let Leonie Mack whisk you off to the City of Lights for a tale of love against the odds, and of following your dreams. Perfect for fans of Mandy Baggot, Jo Thomas and Sarah Morgan.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    The late twelfth century. Japan stands on a precipice. The once-glorious Heian era fades, its refined courtly culture overshadowed by the burgeoning power of the warrior class. At the zenith of this new order stands the Taira clan, their crimson banners a symbol of absolute authority under the formidable, yet increasingly tyrannical, Taira no Kiyomori. His ambition knows no bounds, culminating in the manipulation of the Imperial succession – an act of sacrilege that plunges a nation into the abyss of civil war. 
    From the embers of past defeats, the Minamoto clan, the Genji, stirs. Minamoto no Yoritomo, an exile for two decades, his spirit tempered by hardship and a burning desire for retribution, receives a desperate call to arms from a wronged Imperial Prince. Cautious, calculating, and possessed of an unshakeable will, Yoritomo begins to weave a web of alliances in the Kanto, his stronghold of Kamakura destined to become the heart of a new warrior government. 
    "When Emperors Wept: The First Shogun's War" sweeps readers into the heart of the Genpei War, a five-year epic of ambition, honor, loyalty, and devastating betrayal. It is a story of towering personalities – the ruthless Kiyomori, the calculating Yoritomo, the tragic hero Yoshitsune, the indomitable warrior-monk Benkei, and the astute Hōjō Masako. Witness the fall of one age and the violent birth of another, as the

    Camp Phoenix is a controversial and expensive summer camp program that transfers adults' consciousness into a clone of their childhood selves. On the surface, it's an ordinary summer camp. Twelve-year-old Logan has come to have a relaxing, carefree summer. She wants to ride horses, make new friends, and she loves listening to ghost stories. Sam is a twenty-year-old counselor, taking on the responsibility of the kids' care by day, and riding the rollercoaster of a summer romance after hours. 
     
     
     
    As Logan faces the ups and downs of puberty, Sam watches over her and struggles with the bizarre truth: the campers in her care are not kids at all, but wealthy adults immersed in the ultimate escape from reality. 
     
     
     
    What Logan doesn't know—or at least, can't remember—is that she and her friends will all have to return to their grownup bodies once the summer is over. Logan will again be a successful, middle-aged woman, and the popular boy she has a crush on? He will return to his life as a celebrity suspect at the center of a high-profile murder case.

    A hopeless romantic, a moody tattoo artist, and a dream vacation gone wrong... 
    Lila's best friend and her wealthy fiancé surprise their friend group with a luxurious getaway. Perpetually single and anxious about her future, Lila is thrilled for the chance to escape her everyday life. Though there is one thing—or more specifically, one person—that could ruin this dream vacation. The groom’s friend, Harrison. 
    Intimidating, withdrawn, and definitely not a fan of Lila’s relentless cheerfulness, Harrison has never given her anything except snarky comments and a bad attitude. The fact that Lila has a tiny, unspoken crush on him? Purely an inconvenience. She’s determined to enjoy the sun-soaked shores of Santorini while ignoring him entirely. 
    But when fate intervenes and strands her alone with Harrison, Lila finds herself face-to-face with his rough demeanor. Without their friends as buffers, will the two be at each other’s throats? Or could their clashing personalities complement each other in ways they never expected?
