Molly of the Mall - Literary Lass and Purveyor of Fine Footwear - Nunatak First Fiction Series, Book 50 (Unabridged)

Aspiring novelist Molly MacGregor's life is strikingly different from a literary heroine's. Named for one of literature's least romantic protagonists, Moll Flanders, Molly lives in Edmonton, a city she finds irredeemably unromantic, where she writes university term papers instead of novels, and sells shoes in the Largest Mall on Earth. There she seeks the other half of her young life's own matched pair. Delightfully whimsical, Heidi L.M. Jacobs' Molly of the Mall:...

Hot Mess (Unabridged)

I, Elle Evans, am on the run. Not from the fuzz-although that would be more exciting. No, I'm on the run from the four-year-old private tape that, thanks to my vengeful ex, has probably already ruined my vlogging career. There's nothing like the entire world knowing what you look like mid-O. Creek Keys, Florida, is a million miles away from NYC, and it's the perfect place for me to hide for the rest of summer until I can figure out what I'm going to do. Which is something...

Help Wanted: Female

Sara Pritchard

Help Wanted: Female

So there was all that: the ordinary twill of life; the ho-hum sturm und drang of the workplace: the ubiquitous absurdities, the annoying co-workers, the bloody deadlines and even bloodier bottom lines; the bland, eternal, Sisyphean, absolute, unrelenting, surreal certainty of the day-in-and-day-out of it all. Life as a slice of white bread, moistened with spit and rolled into a messy glob, a doughy ball that couldn’t make the slightest dent in the iron gates of life. But then,...

The Miranda

The volunteer would complain, of course. I suppose he couldn’t help it. He felt angry or self-righteous or betrayed. He said this was not what he’d signed up for, this was breaking a promise, breaking the rules, this was not the way the good guys conducted themselves. He might say this was a violation of his human rights, a war crime, a crime anyway. And I’d say, “You’re probably right,” and then continued with the process. Joe’s got a lot to think about, and time on his hands to do it, since...

Gammarino's Big in Japan is a shrewd and lively book, sharp-eyed and unsparing in its account of a young American's good and very bad moments overseas. The writing is wired and the ultimate judgement is merciless. It's seductive and it's devastating.”...
