A Fare to Remember by Opal
Carew
A chance
encounter leads to a passion they can’t forget in Opal Carew's newest erotic
romance!
Stevie has
given up on love and just wants a simple life driving her taxi. But her plans

back of her cab. Commanding and mysterious, he’s a temptation she can't resist―and
soon their torrid one night stand leads to an intoxicating affair.

strong arms, Stevie finds herself falling harder than she ever imagined. But is
she ready to trust again? And when his business partner falls for Stevie, will
it change everything? One thing is clear: she’s about to take the ride of her
life….
Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor
Behind
the seemingly innocuous facade of St. Mary’s Institute of Historical Research,
a different kind of academic work is taking place. Just don’t call it “time
travel”—these historians “investigate major historical events in contemporary
time.” And they aren’t your harmless eccentrics either; a more accurate
description, as they ricochet around history, might be unintentional
disaster-magnets.
The first thing you learn on the job at St. Mary’s is that one wrong move and
history will fight back—sometimes in particularly nasty ways. But, as new
recruit Madeleine Maxwell soon discovers, it’s not only history they’re often
fighting.
The Chronicles of St. Mary’s tells the chaotic adventures of Max and her
compatriots—Director Bairstow, Chief Leon Farrell, Mr. Markham, and many more—as
they travel through time, saving St. Mary’s (too often by the very seat of
their pants) and thwarting time-travelling terrorists, all the while leaving
plenty of time for tea.
From eleventh-century London to World War I, from the Cretaceous Period to the
destruction of the Great Library at Alexandria, one thing is for sure: wherever
the historians at St. Mary’s go, chaos is sure to follow in their wake.
The Dream of Reason by Anthony Gottlieb
Already a
classic, this landmark study of early Western thought now appears in a new
edition with expanded coverage of the Middle Ages. This landmark study of
Western thought takes a fresh look at the writings of the great thinkers of
classic philosophy and questions many pieces of conventional wisdom.
The Importance of Living by Lin Yutang
The
Importance of Living is a wry,
witty antidote to the dizzying pace of the modern world. Lin Yutang's
prescription is the classic Chinese philosophy of life: Revere inaction as much
as action, invoke humor to maintain a healthy attitude, and never forget that
there will always be plenty of fools around who are willing-indeed, eager-to be
busy, to make themselves useful, and to exercise power while you bask in the
simple joy of existence.At a time when we're overwhelmed with wake-up calls,
here is a refreshing, playful reminder to savor life's simple pleasures.
That's
what's on my reading table, what's on yours?
Happy Reading!
