Red, White & Royal Blue (eBook, ePUB)
* Instant NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestseller ** GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER for BEST DEBUT and BEST ROMANCE of 2019 ** BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR* for VOGUE, NPR, VANITY FAIR, and more! *What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales?When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius-his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse. Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations and begs the question: Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage, and the power, to be the people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through? Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue proves: true love isn't always diplomatic. "I took this with me wherever I went and stole every second I had to read! Absorbing, hilarious, tender, sexy-this book had everything I crave. I'm jealous of all the readers out there who still get to experience Red, White & Royal Blue for the first time!" - Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners"Red, White & Royal Blue is outrageously fun.

Yates: “When I drove up on the scene, I noticed two unmarked vehicles at the intersection, with tinted windows and a few assault rifles lying in front of the driveway. As I got closer l turned off my car engine and laid low for a few minutes. Then I hopped out and took cover behind my vehicle. I then grabbed my binoculars and began looking around to make sure the coast was clear. I noticed one of the unmarked vehicles had two assault rifles sticking out of the back window, so I identified myself. I said, ‘My name is Detective Yates from the 14th precinct. Lay your weapons on the ground. Turn and face me, put your hands in the air and come out quietly!’ At this point I identified the suspect as Bones the convict. I immediately observed what appeared to be a gunshot wound and blood gushing from the middle section on the upper part of his chest”. Knox: “What happened Yates, you shoot first then ask questions later?”Yates: “I don’t like the way this conversation is going. I was acting in self-defense, so I don’t know why I’m being interrogated”. Knox: “So what are you trying to say? He was shot prior to your arrival?” Yates: “Apparently”. Knox: “After you had an altercation with the person in question, what did you do next?” Yates: “Bones continued shooting, while I took cover behind my vehicle. Again I instructed him to show his hands. Bones launched towards his vehicle and fired on me with what I ascertain to be a K-47 an assault rifle. I returned fire and took cover while Bones continued to engage me. When he paused to reload, I immediately pulled out my Glock 45 caliber from my holster, along with my binoculars to get a clear and effective shot.At that point, I seized the opportunity to take an effective shot”. Stitch: “Yates; this is what I would really like to know, what were you doing in Detroit, 42nd Street 7th Avenue without any back-up?” Yates: “I am not at liberty to elaborate on this particula ungekürzt.

The Bazaar of Bad Dreams (eBook, ePUB)
Includes the story "Premium Harmony"—set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine The masterful #1 New York Times bestselling story collection from O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King that includes twenty-one iconic stories with accompanying autobiographical comments on when, why and how he came to write (or rewrite) each one. For more than thirty-five years, Stephen King has dazzled readers with his genius as a writer of short fiction. In this new collection he introduces each story with a passage about its origins or his motivations for writing it. As Entertainment Weekly said about this collection: "Bazaar of Bad Dreams is bursting with classic King terror, but what we love most are the thoughtful introductions he gives to each tale that explain what was going on in his life as he wrote it." There are thrilling connections between stories; themes of morality, the afterlife, guilt, what we would do differently if we could see into the future or correct the mistakes of the past. In "Afterlife," a man who died of colon cancer keeps reliving the same life, repeating his mistakes over and over again. Several stories feature characters at the end of life, revisiting their crimes and misdemeanors. Others address what happens when someone discovers that he has supernatural powers—the columnist who kills people by writing their obituaries in "Obits;" the old judge in "The Dune" who, as a boy, canoed to a deserted island and saw names written in the sand, people who then died in freak accidents. In "Morality," King looks at how a marriage and two lives fall apart after the wife and husband enter into what seems, at first, a devil's pact they can win. "I made these stories especially for you," says King. "Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth." Stories include: -Mile 81 -Premium Harmony -Batman and Robin Have an Altercation -The Dune -Bad Little Kid -A Death -The Bone Church -Morality -Afterlife -Ur -Herman Wouk Is Still Alive -Under the Weather -Blockade Billy -Mister Yummy -Tommy -The Little Green God of Agony -Cookie Jar -That Bus Is Another World -Obits -Drunken Fireworks -Summer Thunder- Shop: buecher
