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
3.7 Stars (626 Reviews)
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.

Krista Sloan is a feisty redhead with a heart of gold. As a physical therapist she gives 110%. With a reputation for being the best at pulling no punches when it comes to recovery, Krista thrives on restoring her patients to their former glory. But behind closed doors she still hasn’t been able to heal her own heart since it was shattered into a million pieces, ten years ago, by the only man she’s ever loved.

Chase Malone always had a love for music, and it showed in the way the sexy Adonis commanded the stage at every one of his sold out concerts. But his rock star status is hollow and incomplete because he can’t share it with his first true love. Every night that he sings to packed arenas, he sings to her, remembering the young love they shared and the night he had to leave her and his tortured past. 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?

They’ll have to risk it all for their Crazy Love.

She found her love. She lost him. Will she make a perilous odyssey to find him again?

Enslaved in Georgia, Pen and Jonas have loved each other since they were children. When they marry, they fear it won’t last. They’re right. On the eve of the Civil War, their master sells Jonas away to Mississippi.

In Mississippi, the Confederate army forces Jonas into service to build fortifications for the city of Vicksburg. Hating the Confederacy, yearning for Pen, he knows he’s on the wrong side of the war. When General Grant’s army besieges the city, Jonas comes under dangerous fire — but in the Union bombardment, he hears the siren song of freedom.

Will their love triumph, or will death and distance part them forever?
