"Highbrow/Brilliant." —New York Magazine "Big Fan serves up political intrigue with a side of spine-tingling romance." —Vogue "Romanoff writes with a crisp, clear voice, one that is skilled at indicting the sexism of the very notion of scandal while also delivering a steamy romance." — EW One of Bustle's Best New Books of Fall 2024 "It sparkles with wit—pair it with a good glass of prosecco and prepare to get lost in this smart, sexy novel." —Elissa Sussman, bestselling author of Once More with Feel...
A Home of the Humanities
Mildred and Robert Woods Bliss were consummate collectors and patrons. The illustrated essays in this volume reveal how the Blisses' wide-ranging interests in art, music, gardens, architecture, and interior design resulted in the creation of the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection--what they came to call their "home of the humanities."
Princess Olga
"Princess Olga Romanoff, is the daughter of the eldest nephew of Tsar Nicholas II, murdered with his family by the Bolsheviks in 1918. She is the youngest child of the late Prince Andrei Alexandrovich of Russia, who was born in the Winter Palace in St Petersburg in 1897.

Justice for Cassidy
The highly anticipated second book in the Big Fan series by Alexandra Romanoff, an enemies-to-lovers romance in which tabloid fodder mixes with a long-brewing rivalry. Cassidy is done living life as the headline-making other woman. She's paid for her mistakes as a young campaign intern in spades, and she's ready to move on. After years of working on anti-bullying initiatives in D.C., she returns to her hometown, Berkeley, to recalibrate and quickly falls into bed with her high school nemesis Leon, whose slacker attitude has always clashed with her type-A approach. Their encounter is just a one-night thing to blow off steam. That is, until they’re stuck in close quarters helping their mutual friend open her new ceramics studio. Cassidy begins to see Leon in a new light. If everyone's been misjudging her, is there a chance she's underestimating him, too? 831 Stories is a modern romantic fiction company that prioritizes pleasure reading and celebrates the genre’s joyful, enthusiastic fans.

A Lifelong Passion
In the darkest days of the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union, when all talk of the Romanovs was punishable at the very least by banishment to Serbia, a group of archivists were exempt. They sorted and filed the thousands of letters and photographs of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, his wife, Alexandra (a granddaughter of Queen Victoria), and their five children. In all, some 13,000 letters have survived. Those between 1889 and 1914 have never before been published. They run the gamut from matters of state to intimate expressions of love and longing. In addition there are the letters of their four daughters and their only son, the haemophiliac Alexis, whose health was to introduce the crucial and some say malign influence of Rasputin. The editors also draw on Nicholas's diaries, letters to his mother, and the diaries and memoirs of their close contemporaries. It includes first hand accounts of the murder of Rasputin in 1916 and the assassination of the Romanovs at Ekaterinburg in 1918.
