The Last Continent
Summary
This is the Discworld's last continent, a completely separate creation. It's hot. It's dry...very dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one believes in. Practically everything that's not poisonous is venomous. But it's the best bloody place in the world, all right? And it'll die in a few days, except.... Who is this hero striding across the red desert? Champion sheep shearer, horse rider, road warrior, beer drinker, bush ranger and someone who'll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he's sober? A man in a hat whose luggage follows him on little legs, who's about to change history by preventing a swagman stealing a jumbuck by a billabong? Yes...all this place has between itself and wind-blown doom is Rincewind, the inept wizard who can't even spell wizard. Still...no worries, eh? Also, Terry Pratchett would like it to be known that The Last Continent is not a book about Australia. It's just vaguely Australian. Please note: This is a vintage recording. The audio quality may not be up to modern day standards.

Crave
Summary
My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me. Then there's Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn't felt anything for a hundred years. But there's something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what's broken in me. Which could spell death for us all. Because Jaxon walled himself off for a reason. And now someone wants to wake a sleeping monster, and I'm wondering if I was brought here intentionally - as the bait.

Thirst
Summary
By age 25, Heather Anderson had hiked what is known as the "Triple Crown" of backpacking: the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail - a combined distance of 7,900 miles with a vertical gain of more than one million feet. A few years later, she left her job, her marriage, and a dissatisfied life and walked back into those mountains. In her new memoir, Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home, Heather, whose trail name is "Anish", conveys not only her athleticism and wilderness adventures, but also shares her distinct message of courage - her willingness to turn away from the predictability of a more traditional life in an effort to seek out what most fulfills her. Amid the rigors of the trail - pain, fear, loneliness, and dangers - she discovers the greater rewards of community and of self, conquering her doubts and building confidence. Ultimately, she realizes that records are merely a catalyst, giving her purpose, focus, and a goal to strive toward.

Keeping me a secret from the Infinity community can't last much longer. I've already bonded with half of my Infinity. Our lives are changing, my powers are growing as is my acceptance of who I really am. Though nothing is ever simple. One of our group is reluctant to take his place beside me. I don't know why he's pushing me away, but I won't be kept in the dark anymore. Not form my Infinity, not from anyone. Contains mature themes.

Every day is a struggle for Brian McCain. Betrayed by his best friend and abandoned by his country, he feels broken and unable to connect with anyone. But Tori Donovan is different. She shines a light into his darkness and keeps the demons at bay, at least for a little while.
Tori has demons of her own. All her life, she’s been let down by those who should have been protecting her. She’s learned the only one she can depend on is herself. Brian might be the exception. He’s a great guy, everything she’s looking for, but he’s too caught up in his own problems to see the truth.

Grave Signs
Summary
I’ve spent my whole life seeing monsters, but they could never see me back...until now. Turns out, I’m not crazy like I’ve spent my whole life believing.

He stays in the shadows and moves with chains wrapped around him, but his golden eyes watch. To my right, there’s a girl with purple wings and familiar gray eyes. She says she’s my sister, and not just that, but apparently I’m half demon, half angel, and to make it out of here, I have to embrace the new wings on my back and the scythe in my hand. Now I have to choose to either submit to my captor or fight. I’m about to learn that sometimes you have to become a monster to beat the monster.

Finding Justice: They say the truth will set you free - if it doesn't bury you first. As a Navy SEAL for a covert special ops team, Owen York has no time for relationships. But when he's forced to go on vacation, he finds himself falling for a sexy stranger, a woman who turns out to be linked not only to his latest assignment but to his past.

She puts everything, especially love, aside--until one day her world flips upside down, and she finds herself at the center of a massive government cover-up. Turning to Owen York for help is her only hope. What she doesn't count on is for him to knock down the walls around her heart.

In this high-stakes mission, will they be able to find the fight inside of them to win - or will this be one mission that hits far too close to home?

The Accidental Girlfriend
Summary
Top tip: Don't put out an online ad offering your services as a fake date. Someone will take you up on it - and it won't just be for one night. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I ended up being Mason Jackson's fake girlfriend. He didn't even want me to be. No - his sister was solely responsible for me being his date for his 10-year high school reunion. And now, she's responsible for telling his parents our relationship is real. We have no choice. We have to act like this isn't all a mistake, like it's not all fake, like we're totally, completely, utterly, head-over-heels in love with each other. Simple, right? Wrong.

The Dragon's Warlock
Summary
An untamed dragon. A broken wizard. And danger that’s no laughing matter. Diem says, "Six months ago, I didn’t believe people could be turned into animals. Then someone stuck a needle in my arm. Now I’ve got a dragon inside my head that won’t shut up. Especially about the bastard who gave the order. Gideon. For some unfathomable reason, my dragon trusts him. It’s too late for me. But my sister’s been kidnapped, and I’ve got a chance to save her before she meets the same fate. If I can find her in time. Gideon can help me. Gideon owes me. And he’s about to find out I’m a force to be reckoned with." Gideon says, "For a thousand years I was powerful. Esteemed. Even feared within the wizarding community. One spell wiped it all away. The last hundred years is lost in the fog of my memory, years I spent as a warlock’s puppet. I’m useless now. No one trusts me, much less respects me. How can I help anyone, much less the wild young dragon shifter who doesn’t know when to shut up? But for some reason, I say yes. Maybe it’s she makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. Or maybe it’s because yes is barely out of my mouth before we’re running for our lives...."
