Book Description
Is it time for traditional hotels to check out? As one of the world's most established industries, the hotel sector has remained relatively unchanged and unchallenged for decades. Yet traditional hotels have recently come under increasing pressure on two major fronts: from disruptors in the sharing economy such as Airbnb, and by a rising wave of modern consumers who have become re-educated by social media and hotel comparison websites. Can this traditionally slow-moving sector reinvent itself or will it become increasingly marginalized? Is it time for traditional hotels to check out? Increasing numbers of hoteliers believe that traditional hotels are on the brink of a resurgence in popularity. Global hotel chains are catching up to modern trends – adding technologized curation and personalisation to their offerings. In Checking Out, Katherine Doggrell interviews key figures in the hotel industry and draws upon various case studies to explore the ways in which this traditionalist industry can remain relevant in the 21st century. The hotel 'experience' has been redefined, as guests now value fast Wi-Fi and mobile check-ins over room service and mini-fridges. Checking Out is an engaging investigation into the unprecedented challenges that face the hotel sector in the digital era and the strategies that are being employed by its leaders and innovators.

Book Description
Nathan James is young, successful and has the world at his feet. Unfortunately, he's also about to die--which ruins things somewhat. And now he's staring imminent death in the face, Nathan is having to rethink some of his life choices very hard. This means embarking on a hectic journey of self-discovery that includes, amongst other things, losing his dignity to an inescapable bean bag, suffering screaming nightmares about a monstrous potato, and getting up close and very personal with a bipolar donkey. All of which is fine, but then Nathan falls in love with a charming girl called Alison, which is a really stupid thing to do. Because how can you give your heart to someone when it might be about to stop? From Nick Spalding, the bestselling author of Fat Chance, Bricking It and Mad Love, comes a comedy about dying--which is easy--and living, which is most certainly not.--Amazon.com

Book Description
The house was a small saltbox home with two floors. Wood planks across the front and wood shakes along the side and back, just like his wife wanted.

And an opening in the office to keep the room warm. It was something George refused he wanted, but his wife demanded. And still to this day George says in his night time prayers to his wife, "e;I am still using the fireplace. Just more then I will ever omit."e;
