On paper he reads like Mr. Wrong, but under the mistletoe he feels so right… Determined to ensure her sister’s wedding is storybook perfect, Isabelle Davis secretly hires Army Veteran Zach Dawson to locate her estranged father. But the more time she spends with Zach surrounded by Christmas spirit and twinkling lights, Isabelle fears she’s falling in love. Can she trust her heart to a man whose past seems so similar to her absent father’s? Zach Dawson proudly served his country for twelve years until an injury ended his military career. He holds his secrets close, but he’ll help Isabelle find her father—even if the man doesn’t want to be found. And if he’s also sewing up a storm at Isabelle’s quilt shop, and appreciating every moment spent with her, it doesn’t have to mean anything, much. Unless he can somehow persuade Isabelle to take a chance on love? That’s a mission he’s eager to accept.
Tondbert Payne is running through all the daydreams he’s had about meeting his true love. Roses and long walks featured prominently. None of those daydreams had him standing with his back pressed against hers, wild creatures circling them. There’d always been a lot less claws and slavering. He can’t see a way out, but there must be one. After all, who’s ever heard of doomed young lovers? Continuing the adventures in Bytarend, The Bite of Minds includes two novellas and a short story.
Survival is not enough. The Pine Fortress Camp for the Gifted turns privileged children into survivors. Into hunters. Into killers. Teenager Kylie Andersen’s abilities are killing her, and only the most drastic measures will keep her worst enemies from exploiting her deepest weaknesses. When she decides to spend the summer away from her grandfather in a camp that promises to teach her survival, she realizes one thing very quickly: Survival is not guaranteed. Meanwhile, a new threat approaches Minnesota’s north shore. Frontier Arms is consolidating its power under a single leader. The new organization is going to be more dangerous than anything Ajay Andersen has ever faced. The question is: who is that leader going to be? It'll be whoever survives.
Perfect day is misschien het beste te omschrijven als een literaire variant van een Greatest Hits- of Best Of-album, inclusief een verrassende bonustrack! Joost Zwagerman maakte een keuze uit de honderden popstukken die in twintig jaar hartstochtelijk schrijven over popmuziek verschenen. Het resultaat is een bonte verzameling artikelen, essays, portretten, columns en interviews. En alles mag meedoen bij Zwagerman: oud en nieuw, cult en camp, rock-'n-roll en r&b, internationale kopstukken en Nederlandse popfenomenen. Zo schetst Zwagerman hier in kort bestek de carrière van David Bowie: van vaandelzwaaier van arty gitaarrock tot behaagzieke publiekslieveling. En: wat zegt de loopbaan van Madonna over onze veranderde beeld- en mediacultuur? Al met al beweegt Perfect day zich tussen Beyoncé en Joy Division; tussen Outkast en De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig en de Sex Pistols en Velvet Underground. Zoveel variatie in één popboek benadrukt de onbegrensde fascinaties van een ongeneeslijke popliefhebber.
Stanley Tucci and wife Felicity Blunt pay homage to both his Italian heritage and her British roots as they share the new traditions they are cultivating for their own family.
