BAD EGGS: The Adventures of the Duke. And Errol by DECLAN TAN

http://www.amazon.co.uk/BAD-EGGS-Adventures-literary-fiction-ebook/dp/B00G4B3ZYW/
http://www.amazon.com/BAD-EGGS-Adventures-literary-fiction-ebook/dp/B00G4B3ZYW/

BAD EGGS: The Adventures of the Duke. And Errol. (literary fiction)
“This is a great book.” Scott McClanahan
“More metaphors than you can shake a stick at.” Ann Abrams
“Everything it cracked up to be, and more…” Boris Vyshinsky

Have you ever thought you were dead but your arm was just asleep? No? Well, The Duke has, if it’s any consolation. The difference is, he wants to die. Or be dead. He’s not sure.

An absurdist remake of the relentlessly bleak Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme, Bad Eggs: The Adventures of The Duke. And Errol, tells the story of an asocial civil servant fleeing to South America to spend what he hopes are the last days of his pathetic, jaundiced life.

But The Duke is reluctantly accompanied by several bad eggs he actively dislikes, including his wife, who all want a different part of him. Along the way, they encounter complications, such as a militant revolutionary cell, a nihilistic Hollywood couple, and an embryo-obsessed chef. They all want out of their feeble shells, but they can’t decide how best to escape – that is, without breaking into many tiny, useless pieces.

Praise for Declan Tan

Declan Tan has one of the great names in writing. The key to most writing is having a great name. Declan Tan's Bad Eggs is the type of book that lives up to the name. He lived in Nuremberg for a time and now he lives in London. Nuremberg is a great city and London is too expensive. This is a great book. One day they'll probably change the name of Nuremberg or London to Declan Tan. It will do them well. Everyone in the city of Declan Tan will read this book, memorise it and speak it to their children like a lullaby, whisper it to their lovers as they move inside of one another. This book is alive. Don't you want to feel alive?

Scott McClanahan, (Crapalachia, Hill William)

The Definitive Edition of DAVID COPPERFIELD
-Illustrated with all 40 original Phiz illustrations from its first publication
-Complete, unabridged, and formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience
-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly

It's the book that taught me about people - that you find goodness in unexpected places (the Micawbers), deceit in handsome packages (Steerforth), that behind unctuousness can be self-serving manipulation (Uriah Heep) and I don't know what else. Besides that, what a great story about the wrong choices in love.” Simone Seydoux

“David Copperfield endures the catastrophes and finds the compensations. As a refugee from a weak mother, a wicked step father, and a cruel headmaster, David Copperfield journeys into purposeful friendship, love, and the life of a writer.” Steve
“David Copperfield by Charles Dickens was a superb story with an engaging cast of characters, and I think this might be Dickens’ greatest achievement yet.” Midnightfaerie

“This has got to be one of the best books I’ve ever read. The vivid descriptions of the characters were just fun to read.” John

DAVID COPPERFIELD is one of the most profound and exciting novels of all time which mirrors Dickens’ own life. It has been made into films and television adaptations and captivated generations of readers. This is Dickens’ masterpiece presented as it was meant to be read, with all the original illustrations.

BEST ROMANCE BOOKS

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G1SSBII



“Great value romance classics wonderfully presented for kindle, these are 4 romance books universally acknowledged as among the best ever.” Classic Romance Fiction

Includes complete and unabridged:
PRIDE & PREJUDICE
JANE EYRE
WUTHERING HEIGHTS
ANNA KARENINA

Four of the greatest romance novels ever written, which define the genre
-Illustrated with stunning images
-Complete, unabridged, and formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience
-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly

PRAISE FOR PRIDE & PREJUDICE
“I was quickly hooked by the flawed, wonderfully drawn characters, the razor-sharp picture of an oppressively class-bound culture, and the strong woman at the center who skillfully wove her way through all the genteel perils. I read Pride and Prejudice about once every five years, swept away by the witty developments as Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy struggle to love and acceptance.” Mary C. Curtis, The Charlotte Observer

JANE EYRE
“Brontë's heart-wrenching story tells the tale of the eponymous orphan Jane Eyre as she goes from abusive childhood to turbulent romance.” Stylist

WUTHERING HEIGHTS
“Wuthering Heights, to my mind, is the greatest love story ever told. Emily Brontë's writing is unforgettably lyrical, passionate and so accomplished” Tara Moore Novelicious.com

ANNA KARENINA
“Possibly the greatest novel ever written. Tolstoy captures the rollercoaster arc of Anna's passion for Vronsky, and shows us the impossibility of her love ever being a match for what she's lost. “ Esther Freud 

THE WILLA CATHER COLLECTION

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G1VRQSG

“She is undoubtedly one of the twentieth century's greatest American writers” Observer

PRAISE FOR MY ÁNTONIA
"No romantic novel ever written in America, by man or woman, is one half so beautiful as 'My Antonia’” H.L Mencken

“My love for Willa Cather grows with every novel of hers I read. My Antonia is a remarkable book, about much more than pioneers and prairies and immigrants. It’s about spirit and strength and soul, embodied in the character of a Bohemian immigrant to the Nebraskan prairies, Antonia Shimerda.” Book Snob

O PIONEERS!
“In all of American literature no one better captured the struggle of settlers on the Great Plains than Willa Cather in ’O Pioneers!’” New York Times

THE SONG OF THE LARK
“Willa Cather's The Song of the Lark is an often brilliant, fierce story that gets deep inside the heart and mind of a rare musical artist.” The Loft Blog

ONE OF OURS
“Claude Wheeler, our protagonist, is a dissatisfied young man, the son of a wealthy farmer, as the story opens. Although he is in college, it is a religious college, where he chafes at the poor quality of teaching. Claude is a misfit in his quiet farming town. He longs for more from life than farming in Nebraska and buying new gadgets.” Tea and a Good Book blogspot 

THE RAINBOW and WOMEN IN LOVE by D. H. Lawrence



THE RAINBOW and WOMEN IN LOVE (illustrated)

THE TWO PARTS OF D. H. LAWRENCE’S MASTERPIECE TOGETHER AT LAST


“These two novels about the passionate Brangwen sisters’ quest for liberation were always meant to be published together. Finally Lawrence’s great novels are reunited in a well formatted and beautifully presented edition.” Classic Romance Fiction

Includes complete and unabridged the two novels:
THE RAINBOW
WOMEN IN LOVE

THE RAINBOW
-complete and unexpurgated with beautiful period photos
-formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience
-linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly

“One of the 1000 novels everyone must read.” The Guardian

“The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation” E. M. Forster

“I truly loved this book and I am forever in love with D.H. Lawrence because of it. I was literally hooked from the first page. One of my favorite things about this book is how quickly it moves.” Katy

“The Rainbow follows the turbulent lives and loves of three generations of the Brangwen family of Marsh Farm in Lawrence's native Nottinghamshire . . . like its equally controversial sequel Women in Love, is remembered by most of its readers for the sex. It remains potentially dangerous reading for romantically inclined teenagers” Lisa Allardice, The Guardian

THE RAINBOW is one of Lawrence’s greatest novels, which was banned for obscenity in 1915, and is now available to read complete and uncensored. The author of Lady Chatterley’s Lover explores the themes of personal and sexual liberation with exquisite sensitivity.

PRAISE FOR WOMEN IN LOVE
“Instead of chopping yourself down to fit the world, chop the world down to fit yourself.” D. H. Lawrence, ‘Women in Love’

“One of the 1000 novels everyone must read” The Guardian

“As for Lawrence himself, he has become almost totally synonymous with sex – an earthy, unrestrained, would-you-let-your-servants-read-it kind of sex” Gerard Gilbert, The Independent

“The two greatest novels written in English in the 20th century were published within a year of each other, DH Lawrence's Women in Love in 1921, James Joyce's Ulysses in 1922” Howard Jacobson

'Women in Love is a work of genius. It contains characters which are masterpieces of pure creation' New Statesman

“One of my favourite books, and his most acclaimed novel is Women in Love. Nihilism, death, love, and modernism all rolled into one.” Valentina Zannoni

WOMEN IN LOVE is the sequel to The Rainbow continuing the story of the Brangwen sisters, Gudrun and Ursula. It has been adapted for the screen several times most notably in the notorious 1969 British film directed by Ken Russell starring Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, and Glenda Jackson.

“A tragic tale of love, seduction and betrayal, Tess of the D’Urbervilles was named the nation’s 12th favourite book in a poll for World Book Day in 2007.” BBC

“Hardy is masterful at weaving an intricate plot. Tess is a resplendent character; she jumps from the pages of the book and emerges as a life force before our very eyes.” Bonnie

“Tess herself, who I fell in love with almost straight away and empathised with throughout; the painfully realistic depiction of emotions and reactions; the glorious, romantic descriptions of the landscapes the characters inhabited.” Blair

HOT SET: The Jealousy Game by Kerry Northe

http://www.amazon.co.uk/HOT-SET-Jealousy-Romantic-ebook/dp/B00FISCBRE/

http://www.amazon.com/HOT-SET-Jealousy-Romantic-ebook/dp/B00FISCBRE/


HOT SET: The Jealousy Game (Romantic Suspense)
"Wow! I love the battle of wits between these two very different women." Beth Boyd

"Full of passion, envy, love and hate. A really romantic suspense story" Melissa Bond

"Really enjoyed this book and did I say it was HOT? I started and finished it in one sitting, to good to set down." – A. Hamilton

"Intriguing, engaging and hard to put down! Fantastic story and likeable characters. Loved it and can't wait for a sequel!!!" – Bluebug

"Hot Set is a brilliantly addictive read - it's sumptuously descriptive, intriguing, über-sexy and it hits a nice balance between playful humour and dark emotion. Northe's characters are instantly relatable, which is no easy feat considering the superficial Hollywood world they inhabit. I highly recommend it and am tapping my foot impatiently for Part 2 to be released!" – Miss Daisy

"I bought this e-book wanting something light and easy to read while doing overnight feeds with a baby. What began as something to entertain in 30 minute stints quickly became totally engrossing and I was unable to put it down. I absolutely loved that each character was so beautifully evolved and I really enjoyed the sub-plot story line involving Amelia. It's rare to find a chick lit book that delves into secondary characters so well. I had goose bumps near the end of the book and I can't wait to buy the sequel to find out where this story leads." - mwanddb

After actress Kate's increasingly estranged husband dies in a fatal car crash, Hollywood heartthrob Rhys helps her recover. Yet as their fledgling romance is rekindled and they move to LA, it seems that Rhys's ex, Amelia will stop at nothing to humiliate Kate and reclaim her man. Will the honest and demure Kate survive being hounded by the press and cement her relationship with Rhys, or will the cunning Amelia ruin everything?

The Jealousy Game is the stand-alone sequel to Playing with Fidelity, Book One of HOT SET by Kerry Northe available here:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DAJRKBA/

Praise for Playing with Fidelity:

“Hot Set oozes passion. If I could I would pre-order the sequel now.” Beth Boyd (Bestselling author of Love)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FPXATNK/

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FPXATNK/

THE UGLY MAN'S A TO Z GUIDE TO GETTING LAID (humor books)

“This publication is the ugly man's version of the 'War on Terror' - it guarantees entry into territories they had previously never even heard of.” George U U Bush, A-Hole, Texas, USA

“If you like Monty Python, The Onion, or just laughing about men’s eternal and pathetic quest to meet women then you will love this.”

"It made me laugh."

" * * * * * A very funny guide to sex and dating for the ugly man."

A hilarious how to guide that will make any man (or woman) laugh
THE UGLY MAN'S A-Z GUIDE TO GETTING LAID is a tongue-in-cheek accompaniment to the aesthetically forlorn man's social paralysis, providing 24-hour, alphabetical guidance on how best to turn sexual famine into something marginally more than a hand-held party for one.

Testimonials about how this book has transformed readers’ lives

“The RRP of my sexual encounters has dropped significantly since having this book read to me.” STEPHEN GAWKING, TRIBULATOR, OXFORD, ENGLAND

“Up until receiving this book as a present, I thought a Kentucky Family Bucket was the closest I'd get to a modified chick. Bwoy! I was wrong.” MARSHAL LLOYD, LADY BWOY, ATLANTA, USA

“After learning to read just to put these wonderful tips into practice, the entirety of my weekly dole money has been spent on condoms. My right hand now permanently stinks of rubber.” TRIPPANIEL FALL, UNEMPLOYABLE, ENFIELD, ENGLAND

“I bought two of these books and subsequently a girl literally knocked my front door down. It was my cleaner, desperate to evade my advances after I returned home from work early.” PETER PERT, EXTRAPOLATOR, SHROPSHIRE, ENGLAND

“Prior to digesting this guide, I thought I was just plain ugly. Turns out I'm brutiful.” TED RAY, VET, ARKINSAS, USA

FREE kindle the brilliant thriller romance by LEE OLDS


THE RETURN (psychological romantic suspense thriller)

"The pioneer of a new post-Beatnik generation.” New York Herald Tribune

"Lee Olds is a thinking person’s writer. Here is a writer to watch." San Francisco Examiner

"The Return is a stunning and surprising novel, with great characters and a strong narrative drive." Ann Abrams

Sascha and her young daughter are on a ‘hippy’ road trip in their old VW camper van, before their return to Santa Barbara for a reconciliation with her violent and abusive artist husband, the girl’s father, following a separation. In a camp site off the beaten track they serendipitously meet Roberts, a charming hulk of a man who takes them under his wing and wins their confidence, despite his own troubled past. After spending some enchanting days in Roberts’ company exploring the idyllic wilds of California, the ever-anticipated and seemingly ever-forestalled return eventually comes to pass – yet only after the two women develop, in their own way, a strong bond with the stranger. But once in Santa Barbara will Sascha’s husband have changed his drunken, abusive ways and control his jealousy, and will the mother ever escape his wrath and find the complicated kind of freedom she discovered in the redwoods with Roberts?

SEVEN VON ARNIM NOVELS IN ONE BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION


“Elizabeth von Armin has a genius for writing brilliant novels. If you know her books then you will find this a great value collection, if you’re new to her work then you’re in for a real treat”' Literary Classics

“Downton Abbey fever reaches forgotten author Elizabeth von Arnim.” LA Times
“They range from the ebulliently escapist The Enchanted April (best imagined as a combination of Noël Coward, E M Forster and Frances Hodgson Burnett), to the sinister thriller Vera (a novel described by Virago Modern Classics editor, Donna Coonan, as bearing comparison to Du Maurier's Rebecca), to the witty and wistful histoire d'une femme The Pastor's Wife.” The Independent

“If you're like me, you had never heard of Elizabeth von Arnim until the recent episode of PBS' smash hit Downton Abbey, when a valet gave a copy of Von Arnim's Elizabeth and Her German Garden to his love interest. Von Arnim, however, was a hugely popular author during the Edwardian era depicted on the show, and her first novel Elizabeth and Her German Garden, published in 1898, was a spectacular success that underwent repeated printings.” Fine Books & Collections

THE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE
THE MYSTERY OF MARIE ROGET
THE PURLOINED LETTER

"If genius is an exceptional capacity for imaginative creation, Poe had it in spades. With Dupin in The Murders in The Rue Morgue, he created the first detective story before the word 'detective' existed" Daily Mail

“The best detective in fiction . . . Where was the detective story until Poe breathed the breath of life into it?" Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

“The prince of American Literature.” Victor Hugo

PRAISE FOR EMMA
“Emma is absolutely wonderful. It rivals Pride and Prejudice for my most-favored Austen. Emma Woodhouse, a sheep in the clothing of a wolf in the clothing of a sheep, is perhaps Austen's most perfectly-developed protagonist. She is complex, witty, scathing, and, in the context of the author's oeuvre, atypically un-self-aware.” Kate

SHIRLEY
“I found this one full of more humor than all the other Brontë novels. I was grinning at her skewering of the awkward social habits of various neighbors, and at the bantering between friends and siblings. Those moments, along with the swooning crushes, brought the 1800s to life for me. “ Molly Ringle

SENSE & SENSIBILITY
“The main characters are two loving sisters with diverse, relatable personalities . . . these young women are struggling against the world: kicked out of their home, with poor marriage prospects, and vulnerable. The differences between sisters Elinor and Marianne temper each other's reactions to this major change,” Karen Powell

THE MILL ON THE FLOSS
“Driven by passion, intelligence and imagination, Maggie Tulliver is a rare free spirit in the convention-bound world of Victorian rural society.” BBC 

THE AENEID by Virgil

The definitive edition of VIRGIL’S THE AENEID
-illustrated with beautiful images of classical art
-formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience
-linked table of contents to navigate easily
-a classic translation in verse by the great poet John Dryden

“Even from my first read, I thought the Aeneid was one of those classic works that read like an adventure novel.” Lisa

“Dryden’s translation of The Aeneid remains an unmatched achievement.” A. E Stallings, The American Scholar

“The “Aeneid” is suffused with a fascinating, upending sense that most of what goes gravely wrong on earth isn’t imputable to human agency. There’s something comforting to Virgil’s conception of humanity, in which relatively little malice and unreasonableness and rapacity seem innate to our kind. And there’s something unsettling as well — a vision of a world that would be safer and more secure if only the heavens were emptied.” Brad Leithauser NY Times

“The epic song of wars and men. If blood, guts and epic poetry are you thing, this book is for you.” Punning

THE AENEID is Virgil’s masterpiece in a specially produced edition with beautiful images which will take you right into the epic heart of Aeneas’s legendary journey and The Trojan War.

“Upon completion of the The Mill on the Floss, I realized that I had just finished something monumental—a staggeringly amazing literary achievement.” Christopher H

“The Mill on the Floss is funny and moving and philosophical. Eliot does so many different things well; she's witty and detached, and then she writes a love scene that makes your knees go wobbly. Middlemarch struck me the same way - it's incredibly romantic, and then it does things with that romance, crazy thematic plot things, that sometimes make you feel like the author has punched you in the stomach.” Becky

“Driven by passion, intelligence and imagination, Maggie Tulliver is a rare free spirit in the convention-bound world of Victorian rural society.” BBC

“One of the 1000 novels everyone must read” The Guardian

“A young orphan transforms the life of a lonely, embittered man in this novel about faith and society set in nineteenth-century rural England.” Goodreads
“Silas Marner is a lovely book. Silas was a good man and had a happy life in a little town in northern England, when his best friend committed an awful act of treachery against him, causing him to have to flee the area because of false accusations.” Julia

“Eliot's finest pastoral tale. Marner is a linen weaver in the village of Raveloe, who once belonged to a religious sect from which he was unjustly expelled: in reaction he has become a miser. His store of gold is stolen by the son of the local squire; at the same time, a golden-haired foundling, later named Eppie, is left in his house. “ John Sutherland,The Guardian

“One lifetime, many books. I write about Silas Marner because, reading it again this year, it felt like proof that a life going badly wrong can, by good fortune and an answering faith and determination, be put triumphantly right.” David Constantine, The Independent

SILAS MARNER is one of the most profound and engaging novels of all time dealing with the themes of love and redemption. Presented in a beautiful edition specially designed for kindle, this is George Eliot’s masterpiece which will stay with you forever.

“It is possible to argue that Middlemarch is the greatest English novel . . . Dorothea, young and beautiful, passionate and orphaned, desires to make something of her life.” A. S. Byatt

“With George Eliot you get real people, real lives, real jobs.' Kathleen Adams

“Everything she might need to know about marriage, about love, about life itself, was encompassed in the novel’s pages.” Rebecca Mead ‘Middlemarch and Me’ New Yorker

“Middlemarch may look like 1000 pages of repressed English people who won't do exciting things, but in fact, it's a thrill ride (if the ride were called "Class Consciousness and How it Will Kill Your Love Life and Your Business"). This book has more action than all three Pirates movies. George Eliot was not messing around.” Rachel Weidenfield

“The one Victorian novel whose greatness no one contradicts.” The Guardian 1000 Books Everyone Must Read
