Vogue's "Most Anticipated Books of 2019" Entertainment Weekly's "One of January’s Hottest Reads" Literary Hub's "Most Anticipated Books of 2019" Southern Living’s “Best New Books Coming Out Winter 2019” An Indie Next pick A dazzling, razor-sharp debut novel about a woman whose obsession with the beautiful actress on her block drives her to the edge. I’ve never crossed their little fenced-in garden, of course. I stand on the sidewalk in front of the fern-and-ivy-filled planter that hangs from the fence - placed there as a sort of screen, I’m sure - and have a direct line of view into the kitchen at night. I’m grateful they’ve never thought to install blinds. That’s how confident they are. No one would dare stand in front of our house and watch us, they think. And they’re probably right: except for me. In this taut and thrilling debut, an unraveling woman, unhappily childless and recently separated, becomes fixated on her neighbor - the actress. The unnamed narrator can’t help noticing with wry irony that, though she and the actress live just a few doors apart, a chasm of professional success and personal fulfillment lies between them. The actress, a celebrity with her face on the side of every bus, shares a gleaming brownstone with her handsome husband and their three adorable children, while the narrator, working in a dead-end job, lives in a run-down, three-story walk-up with her ex-husband’s cat. When an interaction with the actress at the annual block party takes a disastrous turn, what began as an innocent preoccupation spirals quickly, and lethally, into a frightening and irretrievable madness. Searing and darkly witty, Looker is enormously entertaining - a psychologically suspenseful and fearlessly original portrait of the perils of envy. Praise for Looker: "In prose that moves between lyrical and caterwauling, the poet Laura Sims has p ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katherine Fenton.

Jim Bridger: The Life and Legacy of America's Most Famous Mountain Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 111min
Exploration of the early American West, beginning with Lewis and Clark's transcontinental trek at the behest of President Thomas Jefferson, was not accomplished by standing armies, the era's new steam train technology, or by way of land grabs. These came later, but not until pathways known only to a few of the land's indigenous people were discovered, carved out, and charted in an area stretching from the eastern Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and the present-day borders of Mexico and Canada. Even the great survey parties, such as Colonel William Powell's exploration of the Colorado River, came decades later. The first views of Western America's enormity by white Americans were seen by individuals of an entirely different personality, in an era that could only exist apart from its home civilization. The American mountain man, with his practical skills, could endure isolation in a way most could not. He lived in constant peril from the extremes of nature and from the hostilities of cultures unlike his own. In an emergency, assistance was rarely available, and he rarely stayed in one place long enough to build even a simple shelter. Travel in the American West relied upon a specific calendar, and to ignore it could be fatal, as many discovered, to their misfortune. Winter in the mountainous regions of the Rocky Mountains and Cascades was lethally cold to explorer and settler alike, but desert areas and grass plains presented difficulties as well. The network of rivers flowing west of the Mississippi on both sides of the continental divide served as early highways to the Wyoming and Montana regions, the Oregon Territory, Utah and Colorado, and the California southwest. Some were placidly tranquil, while others raged through the extreme elevations, all but defying navigation. Contact with indigenous tribes was problematic enough with linguistic and cultural barriers, but to survive required a sensitivity to tribal food sources and sacred areas when tr ungekürzt.

Bishop Family Box Set (eBook, ePUB)
The Bishop family meets their happily ever afters in this standalone duet box set His Under Contract I never thought I would end up a housekeeper scrubbing floors. It doesn't matter if the floors are in a million-plus dollar condo, in one of Chicago's most exclusive addresses. I'm still on my hands and knees for the most obnoxious a$$hole I've ever met. The jerk believes his own press as one of the biggest rainmakers in Chicago. Ethan Bishop is sought after in the boardroom and the bedroom. While even his sister thinks he's best taken in small doses, she offers me a job I can't refuse, not if I don't want to go back to my parents with my tail between my legs. I need this job, and it's not like it's forever, just until I'm not on the edge of poverty. Let him be the unrepentant manwhore who didn't do repeats. It's better for him not to be at home, so close that my stupid body goes nuts when I even think of him. It's better this way, because he could never want me. I'm a plus size not a size two model he's used to having. I'm safe, it doesn't matter how badly I want him, he doesn't want me. Does he? **** His Sweetest Sin I can't believe it. Christopher Baldwin, the baddest boy in baseball, wants me. Amelia Bishop…I was maybe a solid seven before an accident changed my life, leaving me fat, broken, and avoiding mirrors. If he hadn't said it with a stare hot enough to melt brain cells, I would never have believed him when he told me my curves are what he wants. An arrogant a$$hole with tattoos, a diamond glinting in his ear, and a dirty mouth promising wicked things, Chris Baldwin is no boy. Chris is all man, and a lethally gorgeous one at that. With dimples flashing as he invites me to sin in a slow Southern drawl, I'm trying to remember I don't swoon, sin, or-wait, what? I forgot not to stare directly at his dimples, and those bright blue eyes aren't safe either. Sorry, as I was saying. As appealing as the idea of sinning with Chris is, there is no doubt in my mind I would fail miserably at it, even under his expert tutelage. Chris has been on a steady diet of strippers, women who have all the right moves. Me, I have no moves at all. Chris is major league; I would get laughed out of little league. I'm also his lawyer, at least until my brother, Ethan, comes back from vacation. Getting involved with clients is a huge no-no, no matter what primetime television might show. As gorgeous as he is, Chris isn't worth the possibility of hurting my career or losing the hard-earned respect of my boss and brother. Only I can't deny he makes being bad sound so good. Once Ethan is back I'm no longer Chris's lawyer and it's open season on all my good intentions. Being with him is still dangerous, as his fame attracts all sorts of trouble.
