Noah: I have it all - money, looks, and any woman I want. Till I meet her and my universe is knocked on its ass and she wants nothing to do with me. Kaleigh: My motto: never date the same man twice. I have less chance of breaking my heart that way. Till my eyes land on the only man I'll break my rule for. She thinks she can run. That I'll let her get away. He thinks he can handle a woman like me. He has no idea. A man who has it all needs one thing and one thing only. A temptress.

A groundbreaking exploration of feminism's most buzzy topic. No more grin and bear it: how and why we all need to reset the domestic balance. Gemma Hartley is a mother and journalist on a mission: to throw fresh light on the hidden burden of 'emotional labour' (washing, wiping, worrying, soothing, shopping, preparing, planning, cooking, caring) and find out why it is that the bulk of these thankless, hugely time-consuming and frustrating jobs fall to women.

Marissa: I didn't want this life. But sometimes you're forced to make the best of the crappy hand you've been dealt. I wanted to teach my daughter that.

Studious and sensible, the only thing Molly Wakefield wants to do is get through senior year and graduate. That, and hit the beach in her spare time. Maybe even read a book or two. And things are going great—until the day she catches Weston McGrath, handsome star athlete and scholar, spying on her in study hall. A tad creepy? Maybe. Thrilling? Absolutely. Why? Because Weston McGrath is one guy no one can get close to. Despite her efforts to avoid him, Molly and Weston form an unlikely friendship. But it's a friendship that comes with a price—because Weston cannot stop screwing up.

You are cosmically insignificant. You've heard it a thousand times. A pale blue dot. A speck of dust in an infinite void. A brief flicker between two eternities of darkness. This book says: that's wrong. Not sentimentally wrong. Mathematically wrong. Using rigorous information theory, fixed-point mathematics, and the concept of effective complexity developed by Nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann, The Tiny Giants demonstrates that observers—biological and artificial—contribute a staggering share of the universe's meaningful structure.

Single. Quiet. Still figuring it out. If being single has started to feel like something you need to explain, fix, or rush through, it’s hard not to wonder if something is wrong with you. The comparisons. The silence. The fear that everyone else moved forward, and you didn’t.

When an opportunity comes knocking, you shouldn't question it. Unless it comes in the form of a five-feet-two-inch feisty, loudmouth girl who just so happens to hate your guts. The same girl you haven't been able to get out of your head for three years. But, I'm a gambler by nature. A risk taker. So when Kit Bishop makes me an offer I'm in no position to refuse, I take it.

A woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite from an emptiness that plagues her. She has fled to the California high desert to escape a cloud of sorrow — for both her father in the ICU and a husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel provides, however, is not peace but a path, thanks to a receptionist who recommends a nearby hike. Out on the sun-scorched trail, the woman encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there, with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door.

Want to know how to ruin a holiday? Have the guy you gave your virginity to and then dumped you to move to another country show up. Not kidding. It definitely puts a damper on the holiday festivities. Especially when your current boyfriends take an instant seething dislike to him. What's a girl to do? Get falling-down drunk, that's what. At least, there was plenty of pie. On a good note, ex-boyfriends are a much smaller problem to deal with than angry, hungry demons.

And the world doesn't know what to do with an alpha who leads with love.

What's it like to be a monster in a town full of monsters, who don't know you're a monster? Complicated and a little scary, but doable.

What's it like to accidentally raise a psychotic alpha vampire everyone fears, who drops a lot of bodies on his first day out as a gift for your troubles? Terrifying, if I'm being honest. I really don't know how this stuff keeps happening to me.
