Now she's twelve, it feels like things are changing all the time: her twin brother hardly talks to her any more, her mum's dating a teacher from school, her best friend Lily keeps going on about boys ... and Sasha doesn't feel ready for any of it. Why can't things just stay the same? The one place she can escape to is Blossom House, her secret place – an old, echoey, overgrown, beautiful, empty mansion, where the only thing that changes is the weather and the flowers in the garden.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Black Death is the name most commonly given to the pandemic of bubonic plague that ravaged the medieval world in the late 1340s. From Central Asia, the plague swept through Europe, leaving millions of dead in its wake. Between a quarter and a third of Europe's population died, and in England the population fell from nearly six million to just over three million. Sean Martin looks at the origins of the disease and traces its terrible march through Europe from the Italian cities to the far-flung corners of Scandinavia. He describes contemporary responses to the plague and makes clear how helpless the medicine of the day was in the face of it. He examines the renewed persecution of the Jews, blamed by many Christians for the spread of the disease, and highlights the bizarre attempts by such groups as the Flagellants to ward off what they saw as the wrath of God.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEast of the Dark Mountains and between the rivers of Afon and Belle lies the hamlet of Tanglesni. Small and quaint, it is surrounded by oak forests that had for years guarded the hamlet from plagues and wars that ravished the countryside. But a dark magic now threatens its existence, a magic that not even the fairies have power over. It falls to a girl to stir the guardians of the land to bond. And it all begins when the girl comes home to find her mother and sisters missing. Her mother's friends want to protect her and so hide her out, but the girl goes off on her own to find them. Along her journey, she is tasked with a troublesome fairy who guides her through the Dark Mountains, a place already tormented by the dark magic. A wise and benevolent witch informs her of an impending war, and a man on a white horse, the Death Grabber summoned by the banshee, threatens her very life. Meanwhile, her mother's friends, who have also set out in search of the mother and sisters, meet a number of creatures who are determined to help, but no one knows how to do that, leaving the women intuiting what to do. This is the story of Piper and that troublesome fairy who may or may not have let the dark magic seep in.

Nicola Sparks has fallen in love, big time. The object of her dreams is the fabulously rich Lord Sebastian, he of the ice-blue eyes, golden hair, and full-on mastery of the dance floor. To Nicky, Lord S. is a god. But are gods always quite as perfect as they are meant to be? Nicola, sixteen and an orphan, always gets what she wants. She's ready to dive headlong into her first glittering London society season. She's also ready to dive headlong into the arms of handsome and debonair Lord Sebastian. Nicola's dream is a proposal from the viscount—a dream she's about to realize at last! So naturally, Nathaniel Sheridan's insinuations about her fiancé's flawed character annoy her mightily. But when Nicola's natural curiosity gets the best of her, she begins to piece together a few things for herself. To her great surprise, Nicola realizes she's had the wrong viscount all along . . . but is it too late to make things right? Nicola could feel Lord Sebastian's heart beating. It was the most delightful feeling in the world. Surely it meant that The God liked her. More than simply liked her—loved her even. It had to! It just had to!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe stories in The Universe of Things span Joness career, from The Eastern Succession, first published in 1988, to the just-published Collision. Each opens a window into a richly depicted culture in which intelligent, resourceful characters struggle to make sense of the mysteries of their world. In the introduction by Steven Shaviro, author of Doom Patrols and Connected, or What It Means to Live in the Network Society, Shaviro notes, As a feminist writer, Jones refuses to accept compromises that leave gender inequities in placeand recognizes how they may well have staved off something worse. And as a science fiction writer, Jones shows deep awareness of how provisional, and fragile, all our acceptances and reconciliations can be, for there are always new potentials, new cultural or technological disruptions in the offing. Jones envisions a future that is different enough from the present that we are forced to recognize the contingencyand changeabilityof the things we take most for granted.
