Harrison My life's goal? Make plants fun! I'm gonna be fighting for flora when I'm older and it all starts with auditing stats so I can level up for my masters, and lucky for me, the intriguing guy in my class is a math whizz. He's standoffish at first, but after a class where I bet my sitcoms can make him laugh, one bet leads to another and we're hanging out all the time. Even though I know he's interested in me, we're easy friends, until I start to think I might be a little interested in him, too. The only problem? He seems like a totally different guy in class to when we hang out. I brush it off as him trying to concentrate, but then I spot something I can't explain away. A scar. On his palm. One I'm positive Benny has never had before. Benny Since we were little, my twin brother and I have always switched things up-literally. It started as funsies, and now we're college juniors and still taking each other's classes. I suck at Math, he sucks at English, and we both have a rule not to make friends in class as the other person. Our system is perfect. Only Emmett has the audacity to get sick right before stats and I have to actually show up for my own class-where I meet my future husband. Harrison is smart, weirdly into plants, and we instantly hit it off like old friends. Only of course the gorgeous mountain of a nerd is straight. Just when I'm telling myself to let my dreams of matching rings go, our text messages become constant, flirtier, deeper than I've had with any other guy before. My butterflies have butterflies every time we catch up. And then I get a text from Emmett: I'm so sorry. I think I messed up.

An image-conscious playboy hires a frumpy, shoe-losing, directionally challenged virgin. Let the chaos commence! Smooth, Playboy, Billionaire. All labels people apply to me. But the only label I actually care about is Brother. Everything I do is for them. For the empire we built together. Women are an enjoyable distraction, that's all. So why can't I stop thinking about the frumpy woman who's taken over my marketing department? She's constantly getting lost. She loses her shoes, and let's face it, she's just weird. I mean, yeah, she's a brilliant marketer. And ok, my brothers like her. And fine, she has a backbone of steel and stands up to me when I'm being a dick. But no way am I going to get sucked into a relationship like my brothers have. I am a woman on the edge. Ok, fine, not on the edge. But I really have nothing left. So why not pick up and move to a new city, start a new job, and become a totally new person? I've never been on an Airplane or outside of New York City, but so what? People-ing is hard. Harder than I thought. But I've gotten sucked into this big, wild family, and I kind of like it. So maybe I can start a new life. Maybe I can cross some things off my Get a New Life list. But never in a million years did I think I'd do any of them with my boss. But suddenly, there I am, laying on top of him in a crowd of people…Whoops; that came out dirtier than it was in my head. So what's a virgin, frump of a woman supposed to do when her sexy boss starts staring, and touching and trying to take care of her? No really…I have no idea what I'm doing. Help!

READ THE BESTSELLING BOOK SOON TO BE ADAPTED BY NETFLIX AND THE CREATOR OF HEATED RIVALRY! _________________________ 'One of the most convincing historical novels I have ever read' HILARY MANTEL 'Thrilling' GUARDIAN 'Gripping' THE TIMES _________________________ This gripping historical novel plunges into the ancient world of Aristotle and his pupil, later the virtual psychopath and world conqueror, Alexander the Great. Macedon. 367 BC. Philip II is bringing war to Persia. Forged in the warrior culture of Macedonia, the time has come for his young son Alexander to take up his inheritance of blood and obedience to the sword. It is a training that has made the boy sadistic; fiercely brilliant, but unstable. A dangerous trait in a king fated to rule the vastest empire of the ancient world. Compelled to teach this startling, precocious, sometimes horrifying child, Aristotle soon realises that what the boy needs most to learn - thrown before his time onto his father's battlefields - is the lesson of the golden mean, the elusive balance between extremes that Aristotle hopes will mitigate the boy's will to conquer in this age of fighting heroes... _________________________ Readers love The Golden Mean 'Reminds me very much of The Song of Achilles' 'Totally absorbing' 'A page turner' 'It's always a pleasure when an ambitious book succeeds' 'I loved this'

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Kunst - Fotografie und Film, Note: 1,0, Folkwang Universität der Künste, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Arbeit werden folgende Fragen gestellt: Ob Winogrand, und ebenso andere FotografInnen, sich nicht gerade durch das Fotografieren manifestieren? Schreibt sich möglicherweise mit jedem Foto auch ein ganz individueller Blick, ein persönliches Interesse, ja sogar eine Persönlichkeit auf Dauer ein? Ist letztlich jede Fotografie ein Selbstbildnis? Es tut sich ein Spannungsfeld aus Manifestation und Auflösung auf, welches folgend untersucht werden soll. Dabei ist diese Arbeit keineswegs als abgeschlossen anzusehen. Sie ist vielmehr ein Versuch, die Beziehung von FotografIn und Bild auf verschiedenen Ebenen zu beleuchten. Einige Überlegungen mögen vorerst banal und offensichtlich scheinen, andere rein spekulativ. Die Untersuchung gliedert sich in verschiedene Möglichkeiten, wie KünsterInnenpersönlichkeiten in einer Fotografie manifest sein können. Dabei wird das konträr wirkende Auflösungsbestreben immer wieder mitgedacht. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit bekommen der bereits erwähnte Garry Winogrand sowie die, erst posthum berühmt gewordene, Fotografin Vivian Maier. In einem filmischen Werkstattgespräch mit Michael Engler beschreibt der amerikanische Fotograf Garry Winogrand seine künstlerische Vorgehensweise. Das Leben um ihn herum beobachtend, führt er ununterbrochen seine Kamera kurz vors Auge, löst unauffällig aus und tut so, als wäre nichts geschehen. ¿I get totally out of myself.

It was the toothpaste smeared around the sink that broke my marriage. As I rubbed it away AGAIN, I was reminded of everything else I've put up with these twenty-five years. My husband's obsession with his pension, his ability to charm me into every single one of his ideas, never being taken on a romantic date, let alone ravished on the patio (like the woman who lives next door)… small things, but the realisation was huge. Just when Lucy Jones thinks her marriage is about to screech to a halt over toothpaste, her husband, Leo, announces he wants to move to tumbledown (clapped-out) Rose Cottage, and Lucy knows she'll be the one managing the renovations. Then along comes gorgeous builder Will, ten years younger and the only person actually listening to Lucy. His twinkly eyes and blowtorch smile are causing Lucy to break out in a hot sweat – but is it love, lust or simply dodgy hormones that are causing her heart to flutter? Lucy loves her husband, but everyone knows that little things build up. And then they explode. Can Lucy keep it together, or will there be one last straw she might not be able to get over? A laugh-out-loud romp with an ending that will make you gasp! Perfect for fans of Tracy Bloom, Sophie Kinsella and Dawn French. What readers are saying about Lucy's Last Straw: 'My favourite book this year… had me literally LAUGHING OUT LOUD… This book had me laughing, crying and rooting for Lucy on all the way. I loved it and recommend it for everyone!' Being Miss Meg, 5 stars 'Absolutely hilarious. It is so easy for any woman to relate to this book… sooooo good. I read this in just a few hours as I simply couldn't put it down. Go and grab your copy now. It's one everyone will be talking about this year.' Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars 'Wow!... Honest, heartfelt and totally hilarious! Such an amazing read, I found myself either smiling or laughing constantly... Bl**dy brilliant!! I love it!... a must read for every woman this summer.' Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars 'Made me smile, giggle and laugh out loud. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone.' Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars 'Funny from the very beginning until the end, and there were some laugh out loud moments which I loved… I was reading this at 2am!... had me giggling away. I ended up reading this in one sitting, I just couldn't put it down. Thanks for one hell of a laugh Debbie!' The Bookend Reviews, 5 stars 'Loved this book from the very first word… It is the sort of book that I would love to be reading whilst laying on a hot beach… with so many twists and turns it keeps you hooked.' Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars 'My first read of Debbie Viggiano, and I can't wait to read more!... Entertaining from beginning to end.'
