I want to grab people on the street and make them read it!"~ Goodreads reviewerLength: Full-length novel of 94,000 wordsSensuality level: A hot Regency romance with steamy love scenes?Q & A with the author How would you describe this series?It's Regency England with a dash of magic. I hope to take readers on a journey from the glittering ballrooms of the aristocracy to the dark underbelly of Regency England – with passion, danger, adventure, romance, and a little magic thrown into the mix.?Why did you write this series?I wanted to get my well-bred heroines out of the drawing rooms and put them in the way of adventure and romance. But I didn’t want to write a series where magic is common; I wanted to write a series where only a few characters have magic, and it’s a deep, dark secret, and no one else knows.How would you describe your writing?Several reviewers have likened my writing to Georgette Heyer, which is the hugest compliment ever. I adore Georgette Heyer! She’s why I write historical romance, and I reread her books over and over. (If you’ve not read?The Grand Sophy, please do so!) I’ve also had readers compare my writing to Courtney Milan and Mary Balogh, which are also massive compliments.Who would like this series?This series will appeal to readers who enjoy the historical backdrop of Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen, the emotion of Mary Balogh and Courtney Milan, and the magic of Patricia Rice and Mary Robinette Kowal. Quite a broad range, really!What order should I read the series in?Each book, whether a novel or novella, can be read as a standalone, but many readers prefer to read them in order. And although the series is set in Regency England, a quartet of medieval novellas form the prequel.The ideal reading order would be:The Fey Quartet (series prequel)Maythorn’s Wish?Hazel’s PromiseIvy’s ChoiceLarkspur’s QuestThe Baleful Godmother seriesUnmasking Miss ApplebyResisting Miss MerryweatherTrusting Miss TrenthamClaiming Mister KempRuining Miss WrothamDiscovering Miss DalrymplePlus three more interlinked Baleful Godmother series to come.

《好妈妈 强儿子》是美国著名青少年教育专家、儿科医生、医学博士梅格米克的*作品。米克博士认为，当今男孩面对着前所未有的挑战与压力，母亲的责任是帮助儿子走出困境，成长为富有勇气与自信的男人。

An elderly spinster has been poisoned in her country home… Everyone blamed Emily’s accident on a rubber ball left on the stairs by her frisky terrier. But the more she thought about her fall, the more convinced she became that one of her relatives was trying to kill her. On April 17th she wrote her suspicions in a letter to Hercule Poirot. Mysteriously he didn’t receive the letter until June 28th… by which time Emily was already dead…

There’s more than petty theft going on in a London youth hostel… An outbreak of kleptomania at a student hostel was not normally the sort of crime that aroused Hercule Poirot’s interest. But when he saw the list of stolen and vandalized items – including a stethoscope, some old flannel trousers, a box of chocolates, a slashed rucksack and a diamond ring found in a bowl of soup – he congratulated the warden, Mrs Hubbard, on a ‘unique and beautiful problem’. The list made absolutely no sense at all. But, reasoned Poirot, if this was merely a petty thief at work, why was everyone at the hostel so frightened?

Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour. In 1914 the world changed. Europe’s great powers were dragged, one by one, into a war by Serbian conflict which affected very few of them directly. At least it would resemble the short sharp battles of the previous century, many thought – fought with military bands, horsemen, and swift victories. But 1914 proved to be different, a watershed, as old notions of war were trampled in the mud. ‘1914: History in an Hour’ is the indispensable overview of the year that marked the end of the Belle ?poque and the shocking birth of modern mechanised warfare. It became a war of unimaginable horror, fought with terrifying new weapons that produced death on an industrial scale, a war that involved so many nations and reached into the fabric of their societies. 1914 shaped the First World War, and the years beyond.

拟声词是模拟自然界声响而造的词汇，是世界上所有语言都具备的成分。拟声词虽然是模仿自然的声音，却有很大的主观性。自然界的声音无限，通过我们耳朵和大脑的诠释，主观音感的辨别，再由自然语言的音位系统模拟，这样的模拟往往会失真。因此，它和口技的声音模仿有所不同。 拟态词是日语里用象征说法来表现某一种动作或状态的词。本书汇总了日语中常用的拟声词与拟态词，主要通过归类、辨析的方式呈现给读者。拟声词、拟态词不仅常用于生活中，也经常出现在日语各类考试中，是日语学习者需要掌握的知识。

这次，凯鲁亚克终于不再和朋友疯玩了，他一个人上路，去品味人生的孤独。 1960年，那个用三个星期敲出《在路上》的疯小子，蹲在深山火警瞭望台上，对着空无一人的荒野写下了这么一句话：“每个人都应该体验一次健康甚至枯燥的荒野独居生活——只依靠自己，你会因此了解自己真正的潜力。” 《孤独旅者》当然不是《在路上2.0》，它是凯鲁亚克把自己剥光了的“人肉游记”。他一个人钻进铁路工棚当搬运工，爬上货船当水手，窝在墨西哥的茅舍里吃仙人掌，*后把自己扔进深山老林——整整63天，方圆几十公里只有他自己和三只松鼠。 在这里，再也没有迪安·莫里亚蒂，没有酒鬼同伴，没有嗑药狂欢，没有别人的老婆。在凌晨四点半，被人叫醒赶火车时，他对着黑暗说了一句：“我没有母亲，没有姐妹，也没有父亲。” 他说，这本书“只是诗，或者说，自然的描述”。如果翻译成人话，那就是：我不装了，我把“孤独”两个字，活成了一本说明书。 当你觉得世界都在催你合群之时，凯鲁亚克在书里拍着你肩膀说：一个人并不可耻；可耻的是，你从来没敢试过。
