"Maya Rivers's post-resurrection body has developed magical broadcasting capabilities. Unfortunately, the signal feeds directly into her fiancé's nervous system. As if that weren't mortifying enough, she's also inherited a demonic estate with a flair for psychological warfare and a disturbing passion for cataloguing other people's trauma for fun and menace.
Maya's juggling supernatural politics, a shadow-wielding warlord who moisturizes with military precision, and her body evolving faster than her coping mechanisms.
She's starting to realize something horrifying: she might actually be the powerful one now.
Nobody is more alarmed."
"Maya thought marrying a shadow demon warlord was the craziest thing she'd ever do. She was wrong.
As she faces escalating attacks from hate groups, Maya discovers that having a hybrid baby doesn't make her vulnerable—it makes her dangerous.
And Maya is about to face her biggest challenges yet.
This is the explosive conclusion to Maya's journey from anxious barista to fierce mother, where she proves that sometimes the best response to people trying to silence you is to speak even louder."
"Life hasn't been normal since a mermaid resurrected Maya Rivers.
Between supernatural side effects, the terrifying mermaid mafia who wants more than she's prepared to give, and a shadow demon who would raze realms to keep her safe, Maya is trying to figure out who she is—and where she truly belongs.
In a world of chaotic friendship and found family, one thing's certain: Maya isn't just surviving anymore.
She's ready to stand her ground."
"Just as Maya thinks she can relax into recovery and a budding romance with a demon general, the afterlife throws her a curveball.
The Grim Reaper who saved her wasn't just locked away—he was erased from existence.
What starts as a rescue mission quickly becomes a masterclass in magical bureaucracy, inter-realm politics, and one seriously unhinged plot twist.
Join Maya again as she blogs her way through enough supernatural shenanigans to short-circuit reality."

"Not Just For the Boys looks back at how society has historically excluded women from the scientific sphere and discourse, what progress has been made, and how more is still needed. Athene Donald, herself a distinguished physicist, explores societal expectations during both childhood and working life using evidence of the systemic disadvantages women operate under, from the developing science of how our brains are and more importantly aren't gendered, to social science evidence around attitudes towards girls and women doing science.
It also discusses how science is done in practice, in order to dispel common myths: for example, the perception that science is not creative, or that it is carried out by a lone genius in an ivory tower, myths that can be very off-putting to many sections of the population. A better appreciation of the collaborative, creative, and multi-disciplinary nature of science is likely to lead to its appeal to a far wider swathe of people, especially women. This book examines the modern way of working in scientific research, and how gender bias operates in various ways within it, drawing on the voices of leading women in science describing their feelings and experiences. It argues the moral and business case for greater diversity in modern research, the better to improve science and tackle the great challenges we face today."
"This book explores how hope operates as an ambivalent force in relation to issues of sex and gender, power, and identity in both our private and public lives.
The author blends her deep knowledge of psychotherapy and mental health with cultural and philosophical understanding to consider how we have reached our current dilemmas around sex and gender, race, power and identity. Psychoanalysis is put to task in relation to clinical practice, literature, feminism, politics, and the understandings of how our personal lives and selves interact with the wider cultural moment we are living through. She explores these issues with compassion and understanding and offers a vision of how we may be able to navigate through widely varying perspectives to a new way of envisioning hope today, as both a false promise and a real and necessary component in our lives and within the clinical encounter.
Drawing on clinical psychoanalytic work as well as literature and memoir, this is essential listening for anyone wanting a psychoanalytically informed understanding of where society is on key issues and where we may be able to get to with hope."
"First, she lost her son. Then she lost her trust. Now she’s about to lose control.
Ten years ago, bestselling author Olivia Collins’s life shattered when her teenage son
collapsed and died. Her marriage survived the grief. Her career did not.
Now, just as she starts to rebuild, Olivia stumbles on something she wasn’t meant to find: a hotel key card, a woman’s name, and a lie that began the day her son died.
What starts as quiet suspicion soon spirals into obsession. As Olivia investigates her
husband’s past, she uncovers a chain of betrayal, deceit—and a devastating secret tied to the worst moment of her life.
When tragedy strikes again, Olivia must decide whether to forgive, walk away . . . or get even.
Because in a house built on lies, someone always pays the price—and she has nothing left to lose . . .
Twisting, chilling, and compulsively readable, The Other Mrs Collins is a psychological thriller about marriage, motherhood, and the quiet fury that turns grief into revenge."
"One human barista. One supernatural fortress.

What she doesn't expect is accidentally stumbling into supernatural fame or being targeted by a serial killer with a flair for theatrics.
It's hard to keep a low profile when you work alongside supernatural warriors who protect humanity from magical threats.
Join Maya as she blogs her way through the ups and downs as a human in a supernatural world."
"Bloomsbury presents Entertained or Else by Tina Kendall, read by Julia Anthony.
This book considers the complex and often contradictory relations that are forged between boredom and everyday media use in the twenty-first century and demonstrates how networked media have developed new technical means of capitalizing on boredom’s state of suspension to make it into a source of value creation.
Focusing on the discursive, technological, and affective structures that encourage users to be entertaining and to remain entertained, the book analyses how boredom has been increasingly instrumentalized as both an individual mood and a wider structure of feeling that drives participation across media networks. It identifies the range of cultural techniques for codifying, classifying, sensing, and pre-empting boredom, as well as those that teach users, counter-intuitively, to embrace boring media as a means of coping with the intensities of always-on existence.
However, if boredom is positioned in a digital network culture as a feeling that keeps driving us back to our social media feeds, it is important to ask how else it might operate. While the technological affordances of computational media have put pressure on our ability to conceive of boredom as a radical challenge to digital capitalism, this book attempts to think about the potential that might still be embedded in boredom’s capacity to temporarily suspend or to neutralize dominant structures of attention and affect. Building on the work of Giorgio Agamben, Byung-Chul Han, Roland Barthes, and from historical accounts of boredom and entertainment, the book provides a new understanding of boredom in the context of networked media.
