Her children are grown, her ex betrayed her in the worst way, and it's her first Christmas alone. What better way to spend it than with the hottest man she's ever seen? She deserves a little fun after losing everything she's worked so hard for. Margot Rhodes is glad to wake up in her hotel room to an empty bed. Her one and only hookup was phenomenal, but she doesn't need to say goodbye to a man she'll never see again. Except when she comes downstairs...she finds him in the lobby. A snowstorm shut down the airport, and now she's stuck with him for three days. She needs to rebuild her life--not fall for some guy who lives two thousand miles away--so she does her best to avoid him, but the infuriating man keeps teaming up with her in the holiday events the hotel owner's arranged to keep her guests happy. And then, when it's time to go their separate ways, he makes an offer she can't refuse. It requires a move to his hometown...but what does she have to lose? She's starting from the bottom which means the only way forward is up. She's got a second chance at life...is she willing to risk it all for a dirty-talking stranger?
A different spin on pub crawls and Christmas markets All too often we miss what is right in front of us. This book hopes to open the reader’s eyes, not only to drinking establishments, Christmas markets (home and abroad), but to provide you with some interesting facts, traditions, history and trivia to boot. Christmas and alcohol seem to have been in step for centuries, and this set of ‘crawls’ aims to make your trips to the Christmas markets a little bit different. Although we have left the EU, thousands still travel to Europe (as well as in the UK) to quench their thirst for all things Christmas. So, if you like socialising, having a tipple or two, enjoy finding new places to eat and drink, and visiting Christmas markets, these reasons alone would be enough for you to dig further into this book. But is you are also interested in history, ghosts, traditions, trivia, around Christmas itself, and on top of that the locations, then look no further. Six crawls, six Christmas markets, lots of pubs, and so much more. Enjoy your crawling!
If ever there was a time of year in which we need a sense of humor, it’s the holidays in America—and the latest little book in this best-selling series is here to help! Brimming with America’s funniest stories, one-liners, cartoons, quotes, and jokes, this side-splitting collection explodes the myth that the holidays are the picture of clean homes, well-behaved children, meticulously wrapped gifts, absolutely perfect food, distinguished guests, and perpetual, shiny white smiles. Here is just a sampling of the holiday havoc we all recognize—and love: “Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.” —Erma Bombeck Last Christmas morning, after all the presents were opened, it was clear that my five-year-old son wasn’t thrilled with the ratio of toys to clothes he’d received. As he trudged slowly up the stairs, I called out, “Hey, where are you going?” “To my room,” he said, “to play with my new socks.” “The one thing women don’t want to find in their stockings on Christmas morning is their husband.” —Joan Rivers

Flannery O'Connor is considered one of America's greatest fiction writers. The immensely talented Robert Giroux, editor-in-chief of Harcourt, Brace & Company and later of Farrar, Straus; Giroux, was her devoted friend and admirer. He edited her three books published during her lifetime, plus Everything that Rises Must Converge, which she completed just before she died in 1964 at the age of thirty-nine, the posthumous The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor, and the subsequent award-winning collection of her letters titled The Habit of Being. When poet Robert Lowell first introduced O'Connor to Giroux in March 1949, she could not have imagined the impact that meeting would have on her life or on the landscape of postwar American literature. Flannery O'Connor and Robert Giroux: A Publishing Partnership sheds new light on an area of Flannery O’Connor’s life—her relationship with her editors—that has not been well documented or narrated by critics and biographers. Impressively researched and rich in biographical details, this book chronicles Giroux’s and O’Connor’s personal and professional relationship, not omitting their circle of friends and fellow writers, including Robert Lowell, Caroline Gordon, Sally and Robert Fitzgerald, Allen Tate, Thomas Merton, and Robert Penn Warren. As Patrick Samway explains, Giroux guided O'Connor to become an internationally acclaimed writer of fiction and nonfiction, especially during the years when she suffered from lupus at her home in Milledgeville, Georgia, a disease that eventually proved fatal. Excerpts from their correspondence, some of which are published here for the first time, reveal how much of Giroux's work as editor was accomplished through his letters to Milledgeville. They are gracious, discerning, and appreciative, just when they needed to be. In Father Samway's portrait of O'Connor as an extraordinarily dedicated writer and businesswoman, she emerges as savvy, pragmatic, focused, and determined. This engrossing account of O'Connor's publishing history will interest, in addition to O'Connor's fans, all readers and students of American literature.
