Kelly Armstrong is a Canadian writer responsible for spawning the intricate world of the Otherworld series. The Otherworld series is notable for its expansive world, utilizing an impressively wide array of supernatural elements, as opposed to restricting its stories to a single facet as is common with most novels in the fantasy genre. Initially revolving around a select species of supernatural entities, the Otherworld series has come to encompass a massive collection of otherworldly beings and creatures, these including witches, werewolves, necromancers, sorcerers, demons, ghosts, shamans and vampires. The series primarily constituted stories taking place in the backdrop of contemporary North America, utilizing supernatural characters within a setting such as this, peppered with strong romantic elements. The Otherworld series first found fame under the title ‘The Women of the Otherworld’.

Andy Warhol gave it a try with his cult film called Sleep, which was five hours and 20 minutes of footage of his lover at the time sleeping. Sleep, that activity we spend a third of our lives doing, may be the least chronicled subject in all of fiction and art. Whatever you may think of her novel's subject - and I'm still on the fence - you have to give Moshfegh props for her skill as a writer. Ottessa Moshfegh's new novel, My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a real snoozer, a daring and accomplished tale about a miserable young woman who believes that if she could only sleep long enough, she'd wake up different - refreshed and free of her existential pain. Over the years I've called many a novel a snoozer, but this is the first time I'm using that term in tribute. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

Which means, there’s only one thing left for me to do. Not her angry fiancé who thinks I’m growing too close.Īnd not the looming deadline of her nuptials. Not the girl I try to date while I help plan Lia’s wedding. No one compares to her and nothing seems to distract me from that realization. And when she’s upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.Īnd before I know what’s happening, it hits me like a ton of bricks. She’s always been beautiful to me, but now… I find myself staring a touch too long. The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I’m starting to see my best girl in a different light. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting–aka, man of honor–and take matters into my own hands. With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Nor has she heard of the term, what the bride wants, the bride gets. Yeah, neither has my best friend’s soon-to-be monster-in-law. Steamy, laugh-out-loud, and full of charm, these two best friends heat up the pages while proving true love might be right in front of you. From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn, comes a witty take on a romantic comedy classic, My Best Friend’s Wedding. The taller of the two men was big enough to bench-press Mason. He hoped to hell they were strippers, and they’d be willing to do a private performance for him.Their dark blue uniforms were snug, hugging their bodies in all the right places. They were one hundred percent fantasy material. Mason, the bartender, waited for the punch line, because no way in hell were these ridiculously hot men real cops. Listen to an excerpt from the audiobook here: To find happiness with his new partners, Mason must change his belief that love is as much a fantasy as a pair of gorgeous, handcuff-wielding cops landing in his bed.Ĭategories: Contemporary, Light BDSM, M/M Romance, Ménage, M/M Romance They want to take care of Mason, to offer him unconditional friendship, but their concern for him unnerves Mason more than even the kinkiest sex. The two cops fulfill Mason’s submissive fantasies, but they also meet a more basic need, comfort. What starts as a night of hot, three-way sex becomes a lot more. But he quickly learns that Jack and Gray are the real deal, and they want him in the worst way. They’re straight out of a cop-fetish fantasy. Mason, the bartender, waits for the punch line, because no way in hell are these ridiculously hot men real cops.

Voyage of the Sable Venus demands the reader’s full attention. This collection is not something that can be half listened to at a poetry reading. This collection is not something that you can lazily flip through at a bookstore. I say this because I think that it’s important to note. Again, I was interested in the poems but not exactly sure what all the hype was about. I heard her recite poems from the collection with her former teacher, Yusef Komunyakaa, at New York University. The second time that I encountered Voyage of the Sable Venus was the day after Robin Coste Lewis won the National Book Award. I flipped through the book’s pages, read a couple poems, and then moved on (walking out of the store empty-handed). The first time that I picked up Voyage of the Sable Venus by Robin Coste Lewis was shortly after its release, in a New York City bookstore. ‘Voyage of the Sable Venus’ by Robin Coste Lewis But why is it, asks Adrian Miller-admitted 'cuehead and longtime certified barbecue judge-that in today's barbecue culture African Americans don't get much love?
