Book Description
An impulsive wish leads to pleasures Lola Reid never dreamed of. Merry Christmas to her, indeed! Lola Reid is known as being tough in a man’s world. She has a reputation that men couldn’t handle. A bunch of whiners, the lot of them! She may melt like sugar for a man, but he can’t just be ANY man. He has to EARN that luxury before she becomes sweet and submissive. She was a girl from Bedstuy, Brooklyn, grew up to be a powerful woman in a corner office. So, she wasn’t backing down for anyone. Too bad her family treats her like a cash cow and shows her so much disdain. From a brother who always calls her for cash to a family that berates her for not conforming to their way of thinking she’s already to be done with this year. She needs an escape and fast. Lola will not be spending yet another holiday avoiding her friends and family or with just her toys for company. Thanks to her awesome secretary and some quick planning she’s headed to the Catskills for some needed pampering. And when the New Year rolls in she would return to the city refreshed and ready to kick down more fragile male egos and conquer the world of investment finance. But the holidays have a surprise in store for her. After a wish, uttered right before heading to bed she wakes up to the hottest man she’s ever seen. And she’s seen some hot guys. What…The… Fuck. The explanation; he and his brothers are there to please her and fulfill her every fantasy. If this is a dream, Lola doesn’t need or want to wake up. This Christmas she is diving into sensual decadence headfirst.

Book Description
WINNER OF THE JOHN CREASEY DEBUT DAGGER AWARD Nominated for the Edgar Award for best first novel An astonishing debut crime thriller about an unforgettable woman who combines the genius and ferocity of Lisbeth Salander with the ruthless ambition of Walter White The Crenshaw Six are a small but up-and-coming gang in South Central LA who have recently been drawn into an escalating war between rival drug cartels. To outsiders, the Crenshaw Six appear to be led by a man named Garcia . . . but what no one has figured out is that the gang's real leader (and secret weapon) is Garcia's girlfriend, a brilliant young woman named Lola. Lola has mastered playing the role of submissive girlfriend, and in the man's world she inhabits she is consistently underestimated. But in truth she is much, much smarter--and in many ways tougher and more ruthless--than any of the men around her, and as the gang is increasingly sucked into a world of high-stakes betrayal and brutal violence, her skills and leadership become their only hope of survival. Lola marks the debut of a hugely exciting new thriller writer, and of a singular, magnificent character unlike anyone else in fiction.

Book Description
Praised as “Australia’s answer to Maeve Binchy, a modern-day Jane Austen” (The Sun Herald, Australia), Monica McInerney, internationally bestselling author of The Alphabet Sisters, returns with a poignant novel of love, loss, and the enduring strength of family ties. Nestled in a picturesque corner of southern Australia, the Valley View Motel has been run by the Quinlans for years—and nobody adores the place more than Lola, the family’s lovable and mischievous Irish-born matriarch. So when she insists that her relatives spend their Christmas elsewhere, the close-knit bunch can’t help but be a bit curious. Lola has always had a knack for clever schemes; after all, she once slyly reunited her three feuding granddaughters, whom she nicknamed the Alphabet Sisters. And with the holiday season fast approaching, Lola decides it’s time to stir up some extra excitement. Plotting in secret and online, Lola thinks it would be fun to invite a select group of strangers to stay at the motel for Christmas. Will these guests become friends, ignite sparks, fall in love? As she counts down the days until their arrival, Lola’s own family dramas threaten to upend her best-laid plans. Yet amid moments of humor, heartache, and unexpected twists of fate, Lola finds that she’s the one who’s in for the biggest surprise of all. “[Monica] McInerney’s assured writing sparkles. . . .

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
Short listed for the Green Earth book award In early April, as Owen and his sister search the hickories, oaks, and dogwoods for returning birds, a huge group of birds leaves the misty mountain slopes of the Yucatan peninsula for the 600-mile flight across the Gulf of Mexico to their summer nesting grounds. One of them is a Cerulean warbler. He will lose more than half his body weight even if the journey goes well. Aloft over the vast ocean, the birds encourage each other with squeaky chirps that say, “We are still alive. We can do this.” Owen’s family watches televised reports of a great storm over the Gulf of Mexico, fearing what it may mean for migrating songbirds. In alternating spreads, we wait and hope with Owen, then struggle through the storm with the warbler. This moving story with its hopeful ending appeals to us to preserve the things we love. The backmatter includes a North American bird migration map, birding information for kids, and guidance for how native plantings can transform yards into bird and wildlife habitat.
