Ricky's Hand
by David QuantickFrom the Emmy Award-winning writer of Avenue 5, Veep and The Thick of It comes a funny, violent and thought-provoking horror story like nothing you&’ve seen before.Ricky Smart is a nobody, a Miami Beach paparazzo who scrapes a living snapping celebs. One day Ricky wakes up and realises there&’s something wrong with his hand. It&’s not his hand. In fact, it&’s someone else&’s hand. How does he know it&’s not his? Because it looks different, feels different and – perhaps the biggest clue – has a four-letter word tattooed across the knuckles. But hey, it's still a hand, and it works just fine, so that's ok. Except a week later, his other hand changes. And a few days after that, Ricky gets a new arm… Ricky is losing his mind as well as his body parts, but he has to pay rent and those seedy photos aren't going to take themselves. The world needs candid shots of pop sensation and local girl Scala Jaq, almost as much as Ricky's bank account does. Yet Scala has a secret of her own, a secret that leads them to an unlikely partnership, the strangest support group ever, and revelations that threaten existence as they know it. It's up to the celebrity and her tormentor to work out what to do with a world of misfits, explosions, and other people's bad tattoos. Because when you've looked for redemption in all the right places, you might need to try the wrong ones.
Ricordi quando... 2
by T. Torrest“Avete presente quando la vostra cotta del liceo da grande diventa una star del cinema super famosa? Ok, voi forse no, ma io sì.” ~Layla Warren Al liceo, la fanbase di Trip Wiley comprendeva solo gli abitanti del piccolo sobborgo di Norman, nel New Jersey. Dieci anni dopo, tutto questo sta per cambiare. Nell'estate del 2000, Layla Warren si gode la sua carriera di giornalista a New York (be’, più o meno), mentre Trip passa la maggior parte del suo tempo a tenere in pugno Hollywood. Nei giorni che precedono quello che per lui si rivelerà una successo trionfale, si troveranno di fronte a scelte che cambieranno la loro vita. . Ricordi quando... 2 è il secondo libro di una trilogia romantica New Adult. Vi riporterà indietro a quel periodo esuberante e tumultuoso della vita che sono i vent'anni, quando si fa fatica a capire quale sia il proprio posto nel mondo, la persona che si deve essere...e la persona con cui si è destinati stare.
Ricordi quando... 3: Il finale
by T. Torrest"Avevo trascorso troppo tempo nel limbo. Era il momento di rimettere in atto il Piano California.” ~Layla Warren Sono innamorata di Trip Wiley da quando avevo sedici anni Già. Quel Trip Wiley. Attore da Premio Oscar, noto filantropo, secondo People l’Uomo più sexy del mondo per due anni di seguito… Esatto. Non sono una fan ossessionata e delirante. Si dà il caso che fosse il mio ragazzo al liceo, nel 1991. Negli anni successivi, è semplicemente diventato Quello che è andato via. Sembra proprio che non siamo riusciti a raggiungere la stessa lunghezza d’onda allo stesso tempo. Il nostro tempismo forse ha fatto schifo, ma i sentimenti erano già stati confermati. Anni fa. O almeno i suoi. Non sa che avevo scelto di ricambiare il suo amore. Devo mettere a posto le cose. E devo farlo adesso. Ricordi quando... 3 è il terzo e ultimo libro della Trilogia Ricordi. È una storia che parla di cogliere le opportunità e seguire il proprio cuore… Consapevoli che a volte, si deve solo imparare a mollare la presa. **Rivolto a un pubblico maggiorenne a causa del linguaggio spinto e di scene di sesso esplicito.**
Ricostruire l'amore: Il libro della famiglia Bennett, secondo volume (La famiglia Bennett, Vol. 2 #1)
by Amylynn BrightCinque anni fa, la vorticosa storia d'amore di Lee Bennett con Candace Claesson si interruppe bruscamente, allo stesso modo in cui era iniziata, e proprio quando lui aveva più bisogno di lei. Da quel momento, Lee ha messo su un'impresa edile di successo e col duro la voro si è costruito una vita piena di soddisfazioni, benché solitaria. Quando viene assunto per costruire la nuova clinica veterinaria di Candace, Lee la trova irresistibile come sempre, ma non l'ha mai perdonata e non ha nessuna intenzione di permetterle di spezzargli di nuovo il cuore. Per anni, Candace ha lottato con il rimpianto e il senso di colpa per aver lasciato Lee. A quel tempo, nulla le avrebbe impedito di realizzare il suo sogno di studiare in Scozia e diventare una veterinaria, nemmeno se si fosse innamorata. Erano stati inseparabili per sei mesi, ma una storia così intensa non poteva durare. O almeno così pensava. Ritrovatisi nella loro città natale, né Lee né Candace resistono alla tentazione di riprendere il discorso da dove l'avevano lasciato. Ma con tanti ricordi del passato che si frappongono tra loro, come riusciranno a ricostruire ciò che hanno iniziato tanto tempo fa?
Ride a Cockhorse
by Raymond Kennedy Katherine A. PowersA revolution is under way at a once sleepy New England bank. Forty-five-year-old Frances Fitzgibbons has gone from sweet-tempered loan officer to insatiable force of nature almost overnight. Suddenly she's brazenly seducing the high-school drum major, taking over her boss's office, firing anyone who crosses her, inspiring populist fervor, and publicly announcing plans to crush her local rivals en route to dominating the entire banking industry in the northeast. The terrifying new order instituted by Frankie and her offbeat goon squad (led by her devoted hairdresser and including her own son-in-law) is an awesome spectacle to behold. Brimming with snappy dialogue and gleeful obscenity, Ride a Cockhorse is a rollicking cautionary tale of small-town demagoguery that might be seen to prefigure both America's current financial woes and the rise of Sarah Palin. Frances is in any case a beautiful monster of an antiheroine--resist her at your peril!and the rise of the likes of Sarah Palin. Frances is in any case a beautiful monster of an antihero--resist her at your peril!

Riding the Elephant: A Memoir of Altercations, Humiliations, Hallucinations, and Observations
by Craig FergusonFrom the comedian, actor, and former host of The Late Late Show comes an irreverent, lyrical memoir in essays featuring his signature wit. Craig Ferguson has defied the odds his entire life. He has failed when he should have succeeded and succeeded when he should have failed. The fact that he is neither dead nor in a locked facility (at the time of printing) is something of a miracle in itself. In Craig’s candid and revealing memoir, readers will get a look into the mind and recollections of the unique and twisted Scottish American who became a national hero for pioneering the world’s first TV robot skeleton sidekick and reviving two dudes in a horse suit dancing as a form of entertainment. In Riding the Elephant, there are some stories that are too graphic for television, too politically incorrect for social media, or too meditative for a stand-up comedy performance. Craig discusses his deep love for his native Scotland, examines his profound psychic change brought on by fatherhood, and looks at aging and mortality with a perspective that he was incapable of as a younger man. Each story is strung together in a colorful tapestry that ultimately reveals a complicated man who has learned to process—and even enjoy—the unusual trajectory of his life.
