The Queer Bible / LF

The Queer Bible

Two teens are pitted against each other in a magical duel for revenge, but they’ll have to fight their growing attraction first, in this YA fantasy thriller from the author of These Deadly Prophecies. Eighteen-year-old Samantha Chan wants only one thing: revenge for her brother’s death in an illegal magical duel. Ever since that terrible day, she’s been quietly working with legitimate dueling champion Lysander Rook and&nbsp;biding her time until she can take down her brother’s killer: Mateus Blackwood. Tamsin Blackwood is trapped. She wants to make a name for herself in the magical dueling circuit, but she can’t get away from the legacy of her father—and coach—Mateus Blackwood. When she receives a challenge from the undefeated Lysander and his assistant Sam, she jumps at the chance to earn enough fame and glory to finally escape her father’s influence. Tamsin has no idea about Sam’s scheming, and Sam plans to keep it that way. Despite herself, though, she can’t help liking Tamsin, and the two girls quickly grow closer to each other than anyone else in their lives. But Sam won’t let anything get in the way of her revenge—not even her heart.

To the Death

“The best crime fiction I've read in twenty years.” — Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author "A masterpiece....Don Winslow remains one of my all-time favorite writers." —James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author #1 internationally bestselling author Don Winslow—America’s King of Crime Fiction—is back and he’s better than ever. The trademark literary style, trenchant wit, and incisive characterization that have made Don Winslow a repeat New York Times bestselling author and “America’s greatest living crime writer” (Providence Journal) are on brilliant display in this new book sure to delight Winslow’s most devoted fans and first-time readers. The multi-million-dollar casino heist is impossible—it can’t be done. That’s what makes it irresistible to a legendary robber facing the rest of his life in prison for his “Final Score.” An ambitious, hard-working college-bound teenager has a side job delivering illegal booze to “The Sunday List” until a crooked cop, a seductive customer, and a fake guru threaten to end his dreams. Two wise guys tell each other a “True Story” over breakfast at a diner. It’s all bullshit and laughs until someone else has to pick up the check. An otherwise honest patrolman has to make an excruciating choice between his loyalty to the job and his love for a ne’er-do-well cousin in “The North Wing.” The entitled, substance-addicted movie star that surfer/PI Boone Daniels and his crew are hired to babysit in “The Lunch Break” is a problem. She also has a problem—someone wants her dead. Finally, the one terrible, momentary mistake that a devoted family man makes sends him to prison and on a “Collision” course between the man he wants to be and the killer he’s forced to become to survive. With a foreword written by award-winning crime author Reed Farrel Coleman, The Final Score is a propulsive, perceptive, and deeply immersive book of crime writing — the ultimate testament to Don Winslow's prowess as a living legend of the genre.

From neurodivergent comedian Darcy Michael, a hilarious memoir with a message about living with adult ADHD What if ADHD isn't a disorder to overcome, but a superpower that makes you funnier, more creative, and more resilient? In Attention Seeker, comedian and card-carrying adult with ADHD Darcy Michael offers a fresh perspective on getting through the daily struggles that confront those on the neurofabulous end of the spectrum. Darcy takes readers on a humorous-yet-heartfelt journey as he relates stories of growing up gay, getting married, and finding a career in comedy, all while navigating life with an attention-addled brain. From his early acting days on Spun Out to finding fame (and love) on the internet, Darcy shares all the dirty details (it’s NSFW, folks!) of how ADHD has shaped his identity, his relationships, and his work. Peppered with asides from Darcy’s long-suffering husband Jer, advice for ADHDers both silly and serious, and words of wisdom from Yuma Dog herself, this laugh-out-loud guide is essential reading for anyone unpacking what ADHD means for them—or anyone who just wants to giggle

THE WEBTOON COSY MAGICAL ROMANCE PHENOMENON

Les Normaux Volume 2

This book examines how "colorblind" policies perpetuate racial bias by masking the structural and systemic roots of inequality. Leland Ware critically examines the persistence of racial inequality in the United States despite landmark legal advancements, arguing that numerous policies obscure the structural forces that sustain segregation and disparity-particularly in education. Through analysis of the strategic use of racially coded political rhetoric and key Supreme Court rulings, Ware demonstrates how race-neutral frameworks often reinforce, rather than remediate, systemic inequity. For legal scholars, educators, sociologists, and political scientists, this work offers a reinterpretation of civil rights jurisprudence, a framework for addressing de facto segregation, and a vital lens through which to understand how racial resentment continues to shape policy and public discourse.

Colorblind Bias

Policies that Perpetuate Inequality

How far is the gulf between you and your enemy? Too wide to cross? Too far to bridge? Or too deep to heal?All over the world, there are divides: victims and perpetrators; cops and robbers; neo-Nazis and queer communities; Hutus and Tutsis. Whether it is over class, race, sexuality, faith or power, the human race will always find a way to split and separate ourselves into different factions. Sometimes this is necessary for survival, and sometimes it is a matter of personal politics.And yet, although the world is more divided than ever, there are exceptions. In what seems to be a miracle of forgiveness, unlikely friendships can form between the people who seem most susceptible to enmity.In Across the Divide, Maurits Chabot takes us on a journalistic quest from Rwanda, along the border posts of Palestine and Israel, through an art gallery in Oslo and into the American prison system. He investigates how people can grow closer despite wars, ethnic tensions, geopolitical differences and violent actions, and seeks to answer whether there is a limit to our empathy, our understanding, and our ability to truly change.In increasingly divisive times, we must ask ourselves: who is that person across the divide? What is their story? And how far is the distance between us?

Seven true stories of compassion and connection, in a world that wants to keep us apart

The Divide

A celebration and exploration of gossip, reclaiming it as a powerful tool for building relationships, sharing vital information and enabling women's voices to be heard.Tittle-tattle. Hearsay. Rumours. Bitching. Tea.Call it what you will: the fact remains that gossip is entwined into our daily lives. From group WhatsApp chats to click-bait headlines, social media snooping to reality television, there is nothing more devilishly delicious, scandalous, and satisfying than a juicy piece of gossip.All-too-often dismissed as the pastime of silly schoolgirls and bored housewives, there's more to gossip than meets the eye. In today's world of misinformation, where the voices and stories of women are being silenced, gossip has the power to shatter reputations and destroy credibility. Yet it can also be a vital political tool; a communication style that strengthens relationships and can even act a life-saving measure.Tracing gossip's roots from old wives' tales and the witch trials to reality TV, whisper networks and defamation lawsuits, Beyond Beliefasks, have we lost the ability to listen; to hear, and to believe women who speak up and speak out?A joyous reclamation of women's words, this book is for anyone who's ever uttered the words, 'You won't believe this...'

A Defence of Gossip and the Women Who Do it
