They must stay or go…

But danger will soon follow.

Surrounded by intense dragon wars brewing in the skies the newly full-fledged members of Talon, the brothers, Grey Cloak and Dyphestive, are faced with a decision.  Seeking greener pastures will surely bring about pain and suffering, but Grey Cloak wants no part of his new role in the secret dragon war.  Pushing his reluctant brother to move on, the brazen youths are determined to keep their dark secret to themselves while seeking fortune of their own.

But as the mystery that surrounds the blood brothers begins to unravel, a darker fate intervenes.  The Doom Riders, led by Drysis the Dreadful, close in on them, leading to a devastating battle–with fatal consequences.  Now, the brothers’ lives will be changed forever.  Will their new path be more dangerous than anything they’ve ever traveled before?

If you enjoy epic fantasy, filled with the gamut of elves, dwarves, halflings and orcs,  along with mages, thieves and warriors to dragon riders, then you will devour the mysterious and brazen adventures of Grey Cloak and Dyphestive.

Author Note: This series was inspired by middle-schoolers that demanded more dragon fantasy. If you’ve read the Chronicles of Dragon series, you’re certain to enjoy this. If you aren’t familiar with Halloran’s works, but enjoyed Dragonlance, Fablehaven, Percy Jackson, or R.A. Salvatore’s Legend of Drizzt series, you’ll quickly discover these party-based adventure books are right up your alley.

by Catherine Flores
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

A beautifully illustrated book, with a magnificent story that children and tweens will love.

Babushka wants to find out the meaning of life so she sends her bodies out of the forest and into the world to search for answers.

WHAT IS A BABUSHKA?

The babushka doll, also known as a matryoshka or Russian nesting doll, is a traditional Russian toy first made over 100 years ago. The doll has come to symbolise Russian folk culture, as well as the complex and beautiful layers of women. Babushka dolls are made of wood and painted in bright colours and patterns. Each babushka is comprised of many round dolls, each a little smaller than the last. They separate at the middle so that each doll can be placed inside the one before it. There are some babushka dolls with as many as fifty dolls nested inside. This is the story of one very special babushka doll and her five bodies.

There was the outermost body, Antonia. She was pure beauty. Everyone who saw her admired her good looks. Beneath that body of beauty hid Loretta, who was richly adorned. She wore gold ornaments, and her green robe was decorated with many different gems that glittered like the ocean on a sunny day Hidden within the rich body was Paula, the body that held all Babushka’s talents. Whatever Paula did, she was sure to succeed. She knew how to work and always did so with joy and determination. Within the talented body was Viola, the body of wisdom. Viola knew a lot about the world and learned very quickly. She was always full of brilliant ideas and had clever solutions for every problem. The last body, the smallest of all, was Mary, the embodiment of love. Mary had a warm and compassionate heart and was very helpful. She could dry tears and mend broken hearts.

The quest for the old scrolls is on. The stakes are high. No one is safe.France, 1798. Cavalry Captain Pascal de Charney is summoned by his father, Roland, before leaving to Egypt with Napoleon’s army. Roland wishes Pascal to perform a task for him.

In a letter written from Tiberias, Pascal tells his father about raids in which he participated while in the Galilee. He also mentions Rivka, a Jewish girl from the city of Safed, the cradle of Kabbalah, for whom he has developed a passion.

Jeanne is seemingly seeking information about the mysterious Rivka. Eventually, she reveals her real objective: She is hunting for two lost scrolls, which Pascal appears to have obtained two centuries earlier.

But she is not alone in the race.

When murders from the past start catching up with the present, Yossi and Jeanne realize that the old mystery is lethal and continues to claim victims.

Who is next in line? And why?

Roommating (Preston’s Mill Book 1)

by Noelle Adams, Samantha Chase
4.1 stars – 230 reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

Forget all those other roommate romances you might have read.

Heather and Chris don’t hate each other…very much. And they don’t have sex all the time…at least not at first. Chris doesn’t go around shirtless, flexing his muscles and driving Heather wild…too often. And he doesn’t get jealous and possessive every time she goes out with another man…well, maybe occasionally.

But they definitely don’t fall in love…right away.

When Heather comes back to her hometown, she plans to take over her father’s historic restoration business and move into a beautiful converted apartment in Preston’s Mill. Then she finds out she’ll have to partner up with the one man she can never forgive. Chris Dole, who abandoned her father and betrayed her trust three years ago.

It gets even worse. They don’t just have to work together. They have to become roommates for six months to prove they can get along. That means Heather will have to play nice with Chris and put up with his obnoxiousness, his drop-dead sexiness, and his ugly recliner named Flo.

She’ll do what she has to do out of loyalty to her father, but she isn’t going to like it.

At least not much.

Here’s the set-up:

In a deceptively peaceful county, a murderer hides in plain sight…

Fifty-eight minutes into her first day on the job, twenty-three-year-old Sheriff Piper Blackwell is faced with a grisly murder—the victim artfully posed amid decorations on his lawn. Drawing on former military training, Piper must prove herself worthy of the sheriff’s badge, and that won’t be easy.

Chief Deputy Oren Rosenberg, Piper’s opponent in the recent election, doesn’t like her and wants her to fail. She doesn’t like him either, but she needs Oren to help catch the killer before another victim is discovered. Too late!

As Piper leads the manhunt, another crisis hits close to home. Her father, the previous sheriff, is fighting for his life, and she is torn between family and duty. Facing personal and professional threats, Piper has to weather a raging storm, keep the sheriff’s department from crumbling around her, and reel in a killer during the most brutal winter sleepy Spencer County, Indiana, has experienced.

“THE DEAD OF WINTER was a blast–lots of fun to read! Jean Rabe’s characters come to life through the written word, and it takes a real writing talent to accomplish this feat.”– Denise Dietz, USA Today bestselling author

Author Susan Orlean explains her drunken viral Twitter thread

From Entertainment Weekly: Susan Orlean explains her drunken viral Twitter thread, candy-coated fennel seeds and the comfort of cats…  Support our news coverage by subscribing to our Kindle Nation Daily Digest. Joining is free!

Longtime New Yorker writer Susan Orlean has delighted readers with her articles and books, including the 2000 tome The Orchid Thief, which would inspire the Nicolas Cage-starring film Adaptation. But on Friday, Orlean caught our attention with a much shorter literary form, drunkenly updating the world on Twitter about an assortment of subjects ranging from her neighbors’ newborn colt to her cat to the pandemic to homemade yogurt.

Orlean kicked matters off with a sober tweet about her decision to pray for the cancer-stricken Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Four hours later, she tweeted one, revealing word — “Drunk” — and then explained that she had visited her neighbors to see their newborn colt and that “we had some wine.”

“Ok a newborn colt rocks it totally and he thought my hand was his mom,” Orlean wrote next. “It was not. He has tasted life’s infinite tragedy. As I mentioned Earlier I am inebriated.”

“You know I am currently trying to write a memoir and feel like a clown because WHO CARES ABOUR MY STUPID LIFE but maybe?” she wrote soon afterwards.

“Maybe I am drinking too much during THE F—ING PANDEMIC,” she wrote next.

And then: “I’m falling down drunk. First time in ages. Where is my kitty? He is my drunk comfort animal.”

And then: “I would like some candy.”

And then: “BTW where exactly Is my f—ing cat whe I need him (sic).”

After around two dozen tweets and self-replies, Orlean signed off with one final message: “Hahaha very funny whoever put the stool softener right next to the Tylenol.”

Orlean’s booze-fueled pronouncements received almost unanimously good reviews from Twitter-users who, like the writer, are presumably “SICK AND TIRED OF EVERYTHING” or possibly “going to check on our recycling bin because” or who want to exclaim “F— the recycling. Going to look for candy which I bet doesn’t exist. I. This house godd@@ Min it.”
