National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist Best Book of Fall (Esquire) and a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 (Lit Hub) What Has Happened to Fiction in the Age of Platform Capitalism? Since it was first launched in 1994, Amazon has changed the world of literature. The “Everything Store” has not just transformed how we buy books; it has affected what we buy, and even what we read. In Everything and Less, acclaimed critic Mark McGurl explores this new world where writing is no longer categorized as high or lowbrow, literature or popular fiction. Charting a course spanning from Henry James to E. L. James, McGurl shows that contemporary writing has less to do with writing per se than with the manner of its distribution. This consumerist logic—if you like this, you might also like ...—has reorganized the fiction universe so that literary prize-winners sit alongside fantasy, romance, fan fiction, and the infinite list of hybrid genres and self-published works. This is an innovation to be cautiously celebrated. Amazon’s platform is not just a retail juggernaut but an aesthetic experiment driven by an unseen algorithm rivaling in the depths of its effects any major cultural shift in history. Here all fiction is genre fiction, and the niches range from the categories of crime and science fiction to the more refined interests of Adult Baby Diaper Lover erotica. Everything and Less is a hilarious and insightful map of both the commanding heights and sordid depths of fiction, past and present, that opens up an arresting conversation about why it is we read and write fiction in the first place.

Blade The only woman I want is the only one who doesn’t want me in return. The Brotherhood is my life, and I’ve always been satisfied with that. But now, seeing our president and enforcer loved up with bonds they never saw coming, I’m starting to crave one of my own. Unfortunately, the only one I want to come home to at night is the only woman who rides with us during the day. I know Roxy wants no part of the bond. Even if she felt it, she’d fight me tooth and nail—maybe literally. She doesn’t need a mate to protect her, kill for her—or die for her. Trouble is coming from us at all sides, and Roxy’s right. This isn’t the time. Not now—and maybe not ever. Thing is—nature might have other ideas. And me? I’m perfectly happy to let nature take its course. Roxy I don’t need a mate. I don’t even want one. All my life, the only thing I ever wanted was to run with the Brotherhood. A bond threatens all of that. Even if—maybe especially if—it’s with Blade. The only bear who’s ever caught my eye, and now—maybe the one nature has chosen for me. Thing is—I’ve never been great at being told what to do. And I’m definitely not about to start now. Blade is a full length standalone and the third entry in the Blood Brotherhood series. If you like sexy bear shifters who will do anything to protect their mates, a brokenhearted heroine ready to take control of her own life, motorcycle clubs, and a small town with plenty of heat, you’ll love this series!

“My love for you is like π, irrational and never ending.” When do feelings turn from a crush to love? Do you know it is happening, or is it a gradual slide that you don’t notice? It’s a question Maeve would like to answer. Sometimes love hits you at the worst and most inappropriate times. It is irrational but never ending. In those times you have to have the patience to see things through. And faith, Philip thought, that the love he kept to himself would be returned in time.

Narcissistic men seem like the ultimate catch: self-confident, attractive, charming individuals who are often the life of the party. The narcissist always knows the place to be and who to be seen with. His attention is initially very flattering, but eventually his behavior is not: he becomes aloof and controlling and may cheat. He still seems somewhat interested, however, and often makes enough nice gestures to maintain a girl's interest, leaving all but him to wonder: what is going on? The country's leading expert on narcissism, Dr. W. Keith Campbell, explains how to identify a narcissist, what it means to love a man who loves himself and how to break the cycle of dating men with this personality disorder.
