  This asylum has always had a missing floor. 
  The thirteenth. 
  Every Halloween, the building unlocks the door, and this time, it was my turn for an invite. 
  I would have turned it down, but I wasn't given a choice. 
  And when the doors opened, I met a man waiting in the dark. 
  Pastor Cole. A killer who preached salvation and killed you with a smile. 
  I’ve heard a lot of confessions from the dying, but his was different. He didn’t want forgiveness. He wanted witnesses. 
  He said the thirteenth floor was his church--that the voices behind the walls were his congregation. 
  He said the Matron still keeps his sermons running. 
  Now the lights hum, the walls breathe, and something keeps whispering my name. 
  I should’ve never stepped into that elevator. 
  The 13th Floor -- every floor has a secret. Only the 13th keeps the dead.

  Young bride-to-be Dolly must overcome several obstacles in this hilarious, sardonic novella by Julia Strachey set in 1930s England. Following an excellent film adaptation in 2012, this audio edition of Cheerful Weather for the Wedding is read by internationally acclaimed actress Miriam Margoyles. Dolly is twenty-three and about to marry the Honourable Owen Bigham. Her wedding day is filled with hasty and chaotic preparations for the entire household. Matters are complicated further by Dolly swigging from a bottle of Jamaica rum, which she later transfers into the folds of her white dress. Will she arrive at her own wedding on time, or will the fumbling advances of Joseph, the man she really loves, get in the way? Cheerful Weather for the Wedding is part of the Persephone Audiobook Collection, a series of forgotten classics including neglected fiction and non-fiction by women writers. This edition was first published in 1932 by Leonard and Virginia Woolf’s Hogarth Press. It includes a preface by the late author Frances Partridge, a longtime friend of Strachey’s who wrote her biography, Julia, A Portrait of Julia Strachey (1983).‘A very cute, clever, indeed rather remarkable acidulated story . . . I think it is astonishingly good – complete and sharp and individual’ – Virginia Woolf

  HARRY POTTER MEETS PERCY JACKSON 
  On their eighteenth birthday, everyone in the world receives a Shadowbox—a magic box that is a gift like no other… because it comes from the Gods. 
  For the majority of people, there’s only a birthday message inside their Shadowbox. For a few chosen, though, there’s something more. Nobody knows what those special guys receive. What’s known is that they disappear and never come back. 
  Rumors say they are invited to join the Gods’ Army… I think it’s just a load of crap. 
  My name is Melany Richmond, and for my entire life, I’ve been an outcast, an orphan tossed around like a ship in a storm. I don’t think that gods really exist. I never even received my Shadowbox when I turned eighteen. Maybe because nobody knows my true birth date, or because not even the gods care about me. Afterall, I'm a blue-haired rebel and troublemaker with tattoos all over my arms. 
  I’m not like Callie Demos, the beautiful blondie living in the huge estate my adopted mother takes care of. She is the perfect specimen of Greek devotion and nobody doubts she will get “the call.” She has everything in her life and doesn’t appreciate any of it. Her birthday party is the biggest event in town, and everyone wants to be there when she receives her blessing. To me, it’s just another ridiculous parade. 
  But when I secretly open her Shadowbox and feel its magic on my skin, all my beliefs vanish. 
  Gods do exist. And if the scroll in my hands says the truth, they have a secret academy where their recruits train to become demigods. 
  I’ve done really bad things in my life, but stealing Callie’s opportunity to attend the Gods' Academy? It’s got to be the worst. 
  If Gods find out I’m a faker, what was supposed to be someone else’s gift may turn into my personal curse. 
  MAGIC. ADVENTURES. FRIENDSHIP. 
  NOW A COMPLETE SERIES

  Hot for teacher? No. 
  Hot for teacher's widower? Maybe a little more than I should be. 
  I merely meant to comfort Ren, to help him find steady ground in the middle of an ocean of pain. It was supposed to be a one-time thing. 
  Only… our chemistry, set ablaze by our extreme size and age differences, was something neither of us had experienced before. It was break-the-bed good and far too potent to stop at just the one time, so we didn't. And we've been hiding it from everyone—including his son—ever since. 
  I know this can only end one way. I’m just the stand-in. The much, much younger guy with his late husband's physique who’ll temporarily make him forget his grief. 
  If only he hadn't been so… sigh. Amazing. Funny. Brilliant. Beautiful. 
  I didn't mean to fall in love with him, but I couldn't help myself. If only he were ready to fall in love again. 
  Is it too much to hope that with time and a little help from the late Mr. Paige, Ren could let me be the love of the second half of his life?
