  When moving on means moving out… 
  Surely there should be a rule book to guide you through the tumultuous twenties, or a ‘to do list’ at the very least?  
  Fresh out of university in Manchester and struggling to climb the career ladder in London, Flick’s devastated when her boyfriend dumps her with no warning and leaves her looking for a new place to live. 
  Being forced into a houseshare with three complete strangers isn’t exactly how Flick saw things going. But the residents of Carlisle Avenue are quickly on hand to help her navigate the ups and downs of the life she’s currently winging. 
  With their help, along with her big sister, Flick manages to focus her energy on ticking off items that she’s added to her ‘twenties list’ – the perfect bucket list for any twenty-something reclaiming their life post-break up. 
  And all is going well, that is until her boss catches wind of it and asks her to create a new magazine column documenting her progress. Enter Teddy, a sweet guy who becomes Flick’s friend after a tennis meet-cute. As the column finds its feet Flick’s in way over her head, somehow managing to fake-date Teddy to please her boss and her readers. 
  But the further Flick gets into twenties life, the more she realizes: maybe she’s not the only one following the ‘fake it ‘til you make it’ mantra. 
  In this top-rated romantic comedy, Flick's journey through the ups and downs of city life is filled with humorous encounters and unexpected friendships. The contemporary setting and the blossoming romance with Teddy add a delightful twist to her story. 
  For fans of Annabel Monaghan (Same Time Next Summer), Jessa Hastings (The Conditions of Will), Sarah Adams (Beg, Borrow, or Steal), Cara Bastone (Promise Me Sunshine), and Katherine Center (The Love Haters).

  P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining tuxedo Jeeves.  Collected here are three of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" tales - including ten short stories from the anthology "Carry On, Jeeves," as well as the complete novels "The Inimitable Jeeves" and "Right Ho, Jeeves" - each a master class in comedic writing. ("Carry On, Jeeves" also features the only Wooster and Jeeves story narrated by Jeeves himself!)   Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Madeline Bassett, Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.  These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged form.

  Tom Sawyer Abroad

  "I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them."
  
  Published in 1894, Tom Sawyer Abroad finds Tom and Huck somewhat restless and bored with small-town mischief after their escapades in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. So the boys, accompanied by Jim, head off to see the unveiling of a futuristic airship – only to be kidnapped by its mad inventor and whisked across the ocean and into the heart of Africa, where they encounter some of the world's greatest wonders and face challenges that test their wits and resourcefulness.
  
  A thoroughly entertaining blend of satire, adventure, and friendship, this classic tale incorporates masterful touches of fantasy, humour, and thrilling adventures, showing Twain at his most imaginative in a playful parody of the fantastical travel tales of Jules Verne.
  Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain (1835–1910), grew up along the banks of the Mississippi River, and his early experiences inspired many of his most famous works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Widely celebrated as America's greatest humorist, Twain captured the spirit of a rapidly changing nation, and his sharp wit, keen eye for human nature, and gift for storytelling made him not only a beloved novelist but also a popular lecturer and essayist.
  
  Twain's innovative style, character-driven storytelling and ability to interweave humour with profound social critique laid the groundwork for modern American literature and has inspired countless authors, including Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Indeed, Hemingway famously declared that "all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn."
