I got really mad at a plant yesterday, and said a few bad things to it in anger. Looking back, I might have been overreacting. I bought a half dead houseplant off the clearance rack a month ago, and brought it home thinking I could save it. For the past month this plant has done nothing by die slowly. I gave it water, a new pot, fresh soil, a grow light, and the best spot in my house. As far as I am concerned it should be thriving. Instead it mocks me by loosing a leaf every few days. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME??? I feel the plant is being unreasonable. It should be happy with all I have done for it. What happened to it before I got to it? For all I know somebody might have poured coke in it at the store, and no matter what I do it will die. I really shouldn’t be so upset about this.

Catherine + Kellan = forNEVER, or so I thought.
Let’s not talk about how I was let go from my job and had to take a position as coffee-girl at a publicity firm. We definitely won’t discuss their newest client and how he was the former love of my life. However, it’s fair to mention that Kellan Connelly is now my fiercest adversary.
I’ve spent the last decade playing it safe with book boyfriends — avoiding frustratingly attractive and three-dimensional guys like him.
When my roommate finds the Boyfriend Book, a silly relic leftover from my teens, it prompts a dare; go on five dates and pick one to be my Valentine. I can’t say no, especially if it means proving to myself and Kellan that I’ve moved on.
Despite braving the dating jungle, none of the guys comes close to being my one true love. Except Kellan. He’s infuriating, confusing, catnip… and it turns out he has a secret.
With a love letter and a plane ticket in hand, can I leave my baggage behind and decide between love, hate, and the lies I told to protect my fragile heart?

Awakening (Histories of Drakmoor Book 1)
by Robert M. Kerns
Genre: Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
His mind raced…
… as he lay in the alley.
Why was he there?
Gavin knew two things – his name and he was wearing a tunic and pants. From beyond the alley, hustling city sounds were unfamiliar. The warmth of the sun on his neck and its position in the sky suggests it was mid-morning.
The first choice he made, turning out of the alley, would change his fate.
Marcus has led a full life, but he was sick of it. Six thousand years of magic, mayhem, and fighting other people’s wars has worn him out. Why wouldn’t people just leave him alone?
At least the Society of the Arcane allowed him to do his job without asking a bunch of tedious questions. Maybe lunch with his friend Ovir, the Priest, would make the day slightly less miserable?
Gavin wasn’t sure where he was going.
Was he searching for something?
The slavers he found were certainly looking for him. Surrounded and outnumbered six to one, he didn’t have a weapon. Out of desperation, instinct took over.
Marcus sensed the burst and saw the men fall.
How had the boy done that?
Perhaps today wasn’t going to be so dreadful after all?
You’ll love this Epic Fantasy series, because the journey Gavin and Marcus take will keep you turning the pages until long after bedtime.

Next Stop Execution: The Autobiography of Oleg Gordievsky
by Oleg Gordievsky
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs | History
FREE for a limited time
Oleg Gordievsky was the highest ranking KGB officer ever to work for Britain.
For eleven years, from 1974 to 1985, he acted as a secret agent, reporting to the British Secret Intelligence Service while continuing to work as a KGB officer, first in Copenhagen, then in London.
He provided Western security organizations with such a clear insight into the mind and methods of the KGB and the larger Soviet government that he has been credited with doing more than any other individual in the West to accelerate the collapse of Communism.
In this thrilling memoir, Gordievsky lays out his extraordinary, meticulously planned escape from Russia, a story that has been described as ‘one of the boldest and most extraordinary episodes in the history of spying.’ (Ben Macintyre – The Times)
Peopled with bizarre, dangerous and corrupt characters, Gordievsky introduces the reader to the fantastical world of the Soviet Embassy, tells of the British MPs and trade unionists who helped and took money from the KGB, and reveals at last what the author told Margaret Thatcher and other world leaders which made him of such value to the West.
Gordievsky’s autobiography gives a fascinating account of life as a secret agent. It also paints the most graphic picture yet of the paranoid incompetence, alongside the ruthless determination, of the all-encompassing and sometimes ridiculous KGB.
