I get it now. I am a tiny bit ashamed to say that I made fun of my baby bassets for watching videos of other kids playing video games. I thought it was absolutely absurd. What a crazy thing to do. Do you know what I was just doing no less than 1 minute ago? I was watching videos of people thrift shopping. I could argue that I was doing research to see what is valuable and what I need to look out for. But lets face it, my boys were doing the exact same thing I was just doing. When they weren’t allowed to play video games, they watched people play video games. When I can’t get to the thrift stores, I watch others at the thrift stores. ERG!!! Thrift stores are my video games. I won’t mention this to the boys. Let’s just hope they don’t figure this one out.

The Last Man
by Mary Shelley
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
The Last Man is Mary Shelley’s apocalyptic fantasy of the end of human civilisation. Set in the late twenty-first century, the novel unfolds a sombre and pessimistic vision of mankind confronting inevitable destruction. Interwoven with her futuristic theme, Mary Shelley incorporates idealised portraits of Shelley and Byron, yet rejects Romanticism and its faith in art and nature. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) was the only daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft, author of Vindication of the Rights of Woman, and the radical philosopher William Godwin. Her mother died ten days after her birth and the young child was educated through contact with her father’s intellectual circle and her own reading. She met Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1812; they eloped in July 1814. In the summer of 1816 she began her first and most famous novel, Frankenstein. Three of her children died in early infancy and in 1822 her husband was drowned. Mary returned to England with her surviving son and wrote novels, short stories and accounts of her travels; she was the first editor of P.B.Shelley’s poetry and verse.

When an emergency calls Chase back to Harper’s Crossing, he’ll have no choice but to face that tortured past and all the ghosts that come with it.
Will Chase be able to find his place again in the heart of the woman that sheltered him all those years ago? Will Krista be able to open her heart once again to the one man who owned her mind, body, and soul?
