Fluff - A Wholesome LitRPG

RavensDagger

Sinossi

A socially anxious college student discovers she has superpowers—and they need babysitting—in the first book of an original superhero series.
 
Power Day occurs every year on September 15. Across the world, formerly regular people awaken with superhuman abilities—and labels to go with them. They become the next generation of Heroes . . . and Villains.
 
September 15 is also Emily Wright's first day on campus. While everyone else is out celebrating the start of their college career, Emily's hiding in her dorm room. She wonders if it's possible to earn a degree while completely avoiding eye contact with anyone.
 
All she wants is to learn a little and maybe get over her anxiety. Instead, she's granted a superpower and categorized as villainous. So, Emily panics—and inadvertently conjures up a pint-size supervillain sidekick.
 
Emily has no intention of doing anything—evil or otherwise—with her powers. And if she has to babysit an increasing number of "little sisters" in order to stay under the radar, so be it.
 
But can Emily gain control of her life, or will she drown in a sea of supervillainy and cuddles?

A Deal In Ostriches

H. G. Wells

In A Deal in Ostriches, H. G. Wells delivers a witty and satirical short story centered on the absurdities of human ambition, vanity, and the unpredictable nature of business ventures. The story follows two enterprising men who embark on a scheme to profit from ostrich farming, lured by the booming demand for ostrich feathers in late Victorian society. As their venture unfolds, what begins as a hopeful moneymaking enterprise quickly spirals into chaos, revealing the folly of their plans and the comic misadventures that follow. With sharp irony and keen social observation, Wells critiques the fads and economic illusions of his time, crafting a lighthearted yet insightful tale about human folly, the unpredictability of success, and the often-absurd nature of get-rich-quick schemes.

Alice Alone - A brilliant book...

Amanda Brookfield

'No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield' The Mirror
On the day that her youngest child leaves home, Alice Hatton discovers two disturbing truths in a matter of hours.
The Empty Nest cliche is true.
And she does not love her husband Peter at all.
Now in her fifties, Alice is appalled to realise that she is no longer considered her own person, but is instead defined by her relationships – mother to her adult children, wife to her husband. Horrified by the thought of spending another thirty years with Peter in their North London suburb, Alice decides to take matters into her own hands.
What follows is a triumphant and liberating breaking of all the rules. But when Alice must cope with loss for the second time in as many years, she discovers what even the most apparently ‘respectable ‘woman is capable of.
Join Amanda Brookfield as she revisits her first novel, Alice Alone, and rediscover how she got her well-deserved reputation for writing about women’s lives with humour and honesty. Includes a brand new foreword from the author
