Life is changing on all fronts for the two young mates, some changes are good, others not so much… Destin Time is flying by. With every week filled to the max, I barely have time to breathe some days. The house is almost done, it’s nearly livable, and we’ve started on the final touches, before buying furniture and things like that. But that also means that Seb’s pregnancy is progressing quickly and it becomes clearer and clearer by the day that he’s pregnant, and it’s making him nervous. Especially with the weather getting warmer, so he can’t hide under a thick sweater anymore. I’m there for him however I can and however he needs me to be, but sometimes I wish I could do more… Seb Classes are going fine, the work isn’t too much and I feel like I’m getting some more energy back. But that’s really the extent of the ‘good’ things about being at university. Now I’m more and more obviously pregnant, people have started to treat me differently and it’s really annoying. Some days I barely want to leave the house because of it, which I know is not a good idea, but I don’t always know what else to do. Did I make the wrong choice to stay at university for this first year? To not just drop out early? To stubbornly keep going? This is the eighth novella about Alpha Destin and Omega Seb in the Blossoming of Fate serial, which takes place in the non-shifter Omegaverse Mates World and contains mpreg (male-pregnancy). This novella may include any of these elements: steamy scenes, ‘I need tissues NOW’ moments, cries of ‘why, oh, why’ and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author).

Two young mates seem to be doing everything in an unusual order, but that doesn’t mean they can’t complete a few more ‘usual’ milestones, even out of order... Destin New year, new… Well, new everything, it seems. By some luck, and with help from our parents, we were able to buy the house that Seb and I looked at a few weeks back, and the renovation of it has been progressing slowly but steadily. Between taking evening classes and working full-time, my free time has become increasingly limited and every spare moment I have is spent on getting our house ready. It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s very much worth it. As I’m getting ready for the next chapter of my life, I realise two things. I don’t just want our house to be livable, I want it to be special, and I know just the thing to make that happen. And I want to propose to Seb. Since we’ve already mated and Seb is already pregnant, it might be a little redundant, but I still want to do it. I want him to be my husband, no matter how sappy that sounds. Seb I’m so exhausted. My university classes and working on the new house would have been a strain on me even under normal circumstances, but with me being pregnant... I feel like I’m never getting enough rest, no matter how much I sleep. It’s all getting a little too much. Luckily, my younger brother Dan now living with Mia and me helps with the workload at home, but I still feel like I need more sleep than I can get in a day. I know I can do it. I want to do it so much. I want to show the world that Omegas aren’t weak, that I can do all of this. But I don’t know how much longer I can keep going at this rate... This is the seventh novella about Alpha Destin and Omega Seb in the Blossoming of Fate serial, which takes place in the non-shifter Omegaverse Mates World and contains mpreg (male-pregnancy). This novella may include any of these elements: steamy scenes, ‘I need tissues NOW’ moments, cries of ‘why, oh, why’ and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author).

Winner, 2023 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Our relationship with things abounds with paradoxes. People assign value to objects in ways that are often deeply personal or idiosyncratic yet at the same time rooted in specific cultural and historical contexts. How do things become meaningful? How do our connections with the world of things define us? In Ming and Qing China, inquiry into things and their contradictions flourished, and its depth and complexity belie the notion that material culture simply reflects status anxiety or class conflict. Wai-yee Li traces notions of the pleasures and dangers of things in the literature and thought of late imperial China. She explores how aesthetic claims and political power intersect, probes the objective and subjective dimensions of value, and questions what determines authenticity and aesthetic appeal. Li considers core oppositions—people and things, elegance and vulgarity, real and fake, lost and found—to tease out the ambiguities of material culture. With examples spanning the late sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuries, she shows how relations with things can both encode and resist social change, political crisis, and personal loss. The Promise and Peril of Things reconsiders major works such as The Plum in the Golden Vase, The Story of the Stone, Li Yu’s writings, and Wu Weiye’s poetry and drama, as well as a host of less familiar texts. It offers new insights into Ming and Qing literary and aesthetic sensibilities, as well as the intersections of material culture with literature, intellectual history, and art history.

Moving to America turns H&à's life inside out. For all the 10 years of her life, H&à has only known Saigon: the thrills of its markets, the joy of its traditions, the warmth of her friends close by, and the beauty of her very own papaya tree. But now the Vietnam War has reached her home. H&à and her family are forced to flee as Saigon falls, and they board a ship headed toward hope. In America, H&à discovers the foreign world of Alabama: the coldness of its strangers, the dullness of its food, the strange shape of its landscape, and the strength of her very own family. This is the moving story of one girl's year of change, dreams, grief, and healing as she journeys from one country to another, one life to the next.
