  The Patchwork Girl of Oz is the seventh book in L. Frank Baum's Oz series. Characters include the Woozy, Ojo "the Unlucky", Unc Nunkie, Dr. Pipt, Scraps (the patchwork girl), and others. The novel was first published on July 1, 1913. In 1914, Baum adapted the book to film through his Oz Film Manufacturing Company. The book was followed by Tik-Tok of Oz (1914).
  Ojo, known as Ojo the Unlucky, lives in poverty with his laconic uncle Unc Nunkie in the woods of the Munchkin Country in Oz. They visit their neighbor, the magician Dr. Pipt who is about to complete the six-year process of preparing the magical Powder of Life, which can bring inanimate objects to life. Pipt's wife has constructed a life-sized stuffed girl out of patchwork, and she wishes her husband to animate her to serve as an obedient household servant. They also meet another of Pipt's creations, Bungle, an extremely vain talking cat made of glass. The Powder of Life successfully animates the patchwork girl, but an accident causes both Pipt's wife and Unc Nunkie to be turned to stone. Dr. Pipt tells Ojo that he must obtain five ingredients to make a compound to counteract the petrifaction spell.

  After her perilous escape from the Janusians, Victoria Anetti is trying to live the normal life she always wanted. 
   
   
   
  She's no longer the last supersoldier in the galaxy. She's a permanent crew member aboard her uncle's ship, the Robber Barron. She's even beginning to mend her relationship with her parents. 
   
   
   
  But she can't ignore what she learned during her capture: thanks to a sample of her blood, the Janusians can take away Mahjin abilities. It's a threat to the Mahjin and the Colonies, but a thread of hope for Victoria. Not only can she live a normal life, but she can also be normal, free of the superhuman abilities she never wanted to inherit. 
   
   
   
  On their next mission, Victoria and her crew stumble upon a Janusian gunship with a lone crewmember: Lieutenant Karim, the woman who captured Victoria on her mother's behalf. With no memories of her defection, Karim requests asylum aboard the Robber Barron. But her blank mind holds deadly secrets: the Janusians' goal to neutralize the Mahjin has changed. With war inevitable, they refuse to let Colonies control the only supersoldiers in the galaxy. 
   
   
   
  And they want to use Victoria's blood to create their own.

  A provocative and influential reassessment of one of England’s most maligned monarchs. Challenging the traditional Tudor narrative—popularized by Shakespeare and chroniclers like Thomas More—Walpole argues that Richard III has been unfairly vilified as a tyrant and murderer. Through meticulous examination of historical sources, he questions the evidence behind accusations such as the murder of the Princes in the Tower and Richard’s physical deformities, suggesting bias and propaganda shaped his dark legacy. While not a full exoneration, Walpole’s work pioneered revisionist history and sparked debate about historical objectivity. Written with wit and scholarly rigor, Historic Doubts reflects Enlightenment skepticism and remains a landmark in the re-evaluation of medieval English history.

  She's always been off-limits. He's always just out of reach. 
  Falling in love with Gabe Anderson was as easy as breathing. Fighting my feelings for my brother’s best friend was agonizingly hard. I never imagined giving in to my desire for him would cause such a destructive ripple effect. That kiss was my grasp at a lifeline—something, anything to hold me steady in my crumbling life. Now, I have to suffer with the fallout while trying to convince him it’s all worth the consequences. 
  Guilt overwhelms me—over what I’ve done, the lives I’ve taken, and more than anything, over my feelings for Skye Hawke. Craving my best friend’s little sister is insanely self-destructive. It never should have happened, but since the moment she kissed me, I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind. If I take what I want, I risk losing everything. If I don’t, I’ll lose her and a piece of myself. The raging storm threatening to rain down on the city is nothing compared to the one that will come from my decision. 
  Love can be torture, but sometimes, love is the only thing that can save you. 
  *** Tortured Skye is the second book in The Hawke Family Series. While it is a complete story, it is NOT meant to be read as a standalone. The story of the Hawke siblings all build on one another and are intertwined. They need to be read in order to fully enjoy and understand the plots.
