The Queen of Subtleties
A tremendously vivid, page-turning and plausible novel that depicts the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn, the most spirited, independent and courageous of Henry's queens, as viewed from both the bedrooms and the kitchens of the Tudor court. Everyone knows the story of Anne Boleyn. Henry VIII divorced his longstanding, long-suffering, older, Spanish wife for a young, black-eyed English beauty, and, in doing so, severed England from Rome and indeed from the rest of the western world. Then, when Henry had what he wanted, he managed a mere three years of marriage before beheading his wife for alleged adultery with several men, among them his own best friend and her own brother. This is the context for Suzannah Dunn's wonderful new novel, which is about - and told by - two women: Anne Boleyn, king's mistress and fated queen; and Lucy Cornwallis, the king's confectioner, an employee of the very highest status, who made the centrepiece of each of the feasts to mark the important occasions in Anne's ascent. There's another link between them, though: the lovely Mark Smeaton, wunderkind musician, the innocent on whom, ultimately, Anne's downfall hinged... Suzannah Dunn has wit, a mastery of dialogue, brilliant characterization, lack of pretence, and good humour. The Queen of Subtleties adds to that mix a wonderfully balanced, strong story and the result is sensational.

AwardsWinner of IndieReader Discovery Awards 20135 Stars Rating by Readers' Favorite Reviews"an interesting book focusing on the ideas of need versus want, what is self-fulfillment and exploring our motivations.....I suspect it is one of those books that you can turn to again and again and find different things, dependent upon your mood." - Kindle Book Review "Bittersweet and seemingly simple, this story embodies the ambivalence the author feels about an average, middle-class existence - possibly mundane, yes, but reassuring in its certainties and not without its own joys." - ilovebooks.com "a beautifully illustrated and thought-provoking modern-day allegory suitable for older children and grown-ups alike." - Rated 5 stars by IndieReader BookThe tipping point of comforts is the moment when the familiar and secure confines of our comfort zone start to feel limiting and stifling.

It is in this yearning for something beyond our comfort that we find the courage to unlock our true potential and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Only by stepping outside our comfort zones can we truly live a life that is vibrant, meaningful, and filled with the richness of new experiences. For all ages.

The Moonlit Mr Spring
Mr. Spring is on his own. Not only is he single but he refuses to be governed by the normal rules of society, rubbing some folk up the wrong way. Paddy's ambition to be the area's first serial killer is thwarted because he's just too kind. He buys Mr. Spring a tricycle, cementing their friendship, and when Paddy loses his job they set up in business together, despite the old man's arthritis. An accidental death in the small town remains unexplained but the Swansea police leave well alone, having had their fingers burnt by the local arsonist. Nobody takes responsibility for the three-legged dog. Mysterious graffiti appears on walls and pavements, clearly crafted by someone with literary pretensions but a sick mind. As the gossip increases, Mr Spring is seen as a loose cannon (not the loose vicar - he was in the last story) and the respectable types dub him 'the town nuisance' and plot against him. Paddy cheerfully supports him but Lucy, his girlfriend, loses patience with them both after they throw tins of beans at the TV set. It is more by luck than judgment that summer visitors from Milwaukee solve the puzzle. Or so they think.

Unseen Academicals
"Football, food, fashion and wizards collide in Pratchett's affectionate satire on the foibles of sports and sports fans. . . . The prose crackles with wit and charm, and the sendups of league football, academic posturing, Romeo and Juliet and cheesy sports dramas are razor sharp and hilarious but never cruel. At its heart, this is an intelligent, cheeky love letter to football, its fans and the unifying power of sports." --Publishers WeeklyFootball (aka soccer) comes to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork, upending the wizards of Unseen University--and dividing Discworld--in this wonderfully funny novel in Sir Terry Pratchett's internationally bestselling series.The wizards at Ankh-Morpork's Unseen University are renowned for many things--wisdom, magic, teatime--but athletics, not so much. When Lord Vetinari, the city's benevolent tyrant, strongly suggests to Archchancellor Mustrum Ridcully that the university revive its sports program and field a football team composed of faculty, students, and staff--or lose the funding that pays for their nine daily meals--the wizards of UU find themselves in a quandary. First, they have to understand what makes foot-the-ball so popular with Ankh-Morporkians. Then they have to learn how to play it--and win--without using magic.Of course, the thing about football is that it is never just about football.The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Unseen Academicals is the seventh and final book in the Wizards collection (and 37th Discworld book).

Fate intervenes, bringing her into the orbit of a pair of unlikely companions: Johan, a man whose intellectual prowess is remarkably overshadowed by his culinary skills, and Agnes, a seventy-five-year-old widow who has made a fortune posing as a young influencer on social media. Convincing them of the impending doom, Petra, Johan, and Agnes embark on a wild adventure in a camper van that will take them from their homes in Sweden, through Europe, to their destination: Rome.Johan plans to make the most of the time he has left. He has decided at last to stand up to his heinous big brother, promising to deliver a swift yet brutal blow in more ways than one. But, of course, nothing ever goes as planned. Not even the end of the world. . . .In this, his sixth novel, Jonas Jonasson takes us on a dazzling odyssey across the globe-from Sweden, through Europe, across Africa, and all the way to the US. The Prophet and the Idiot is an immensely funny, socially conscious, and life-affirming yarn about what happens when three odd yet fully reasonable characters come together and find cause to make mutual plans, all relayed in Jonasson's classically hilarious style.Translated from the Swedish by Rachel Willson-Broyles

Shakespeare
Shakespeare: Slammed, Smeared, Savaged and Slaughtered is adult literature featuring adult language and content. Jay Dubya converts eight of William Shakespeare's most famous plays into crazy risqu矇 and bawdy satire/parodies. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "As You Like It" are creatively assaulted along with "The Tempest" and "All's Well That Ends Well." Jay Dubya also humorously broadsides "Othello" and the classic "The Comedy of Errors." Finally the serious plays "The Merchant of Venice" and "King Lear" are hilariously clobbered and thoroughly corrupted. Shakespeare: S, S, S and S represents William Shakespeare as you've never before read the bard's historic works. Each play has been imaginatively rewritten and converted from dialogue into adult-oriented narrative/dialogue form. Shakespeare: Slammed, Smeared, Savaged and Slaughtered is the companion book to Shakespeare: S, S, S and S, Part II.

Free Nancy Esting
Inside a Pasadena coffee shop, a free-spirited artist model and a reserved astrobiologist entangle themselves in conversation...and the fabric of reality. Forced to share a table, strangers Nancy and Spencer can't help but talk to each other, leading to a debate over the pros and cons of scientific objectivity and artistic value. While their philosophical differences are immediately apparent, they eventually discover that they have a common preoccupation: the mysteries of the universe. Each tries convincing the other that their own view is superior, but their discussion generates more questions than answers as a complicated bond forms between them--or perhaps it is just their ensnarling line of inquiry? With a tip of the private investigator's hat and a nod to Rom-Coms, along with a dash of Iranian mysticism, Free Nancy Esting celebrates the lives of two Southern California denizens-- turning common stereotypes upside down with the exhilarating fact of our complicated (and yet very simple) existence.
