Roommates are not permanent, But the attachments are… Abigail A few weeks ago, I was a nobody at Gulf Coast University. Now I'm the most popular girl on campus. All thanks to my roommate, star quarterback Casey Turner. Everybody wants a piece of me, but all I want is Casey. He's sexy and funny, with the ability to literally charm a girl's pants off. Plus, he noticed me way back when I was invisible. As I climb higher up the social ladder, all the other girls who want him are sharpening their claws. Crushing on Casey when I was a shy, invisible nerd was hard. Wanting him now that I can be knocked off this throne is even harder. I know it's foolish to hope for something more than a fling with the university's most notorious player. But now that I'm in the spotlight, all I want is for Casey to give us a chance. Casey As the king on this campus, I have a reputation. I'm the best quarterback this school has ever had, and even though I'm a player not one of the girls on campus has ever tied me down. Too bad my rep has taken a hit ever since I moved in with the university's biggest nerd. Abigail Hopkins, geek and all-around good girl. Though I tried to resist my shy, nerdy roommate, things got hot and heavy. Turns out Abby is the one girl with the power to bring me to my knees and I didn't see it coming. At first fooling around with her is all fun and games, until she becomes the center of attention. Now, students want to either date her or befriend her. After Abby's dorky, good girl image gets a makeover, I start to wonder. If I'm the one who put her in the limelight, what happens when I decide that I want the school's most popular girl all to myself?

Now an original movie on Prime Video starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine! When Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of a prestigious art gallery in Los Angeles, takes her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band, she does so reluctantly and at her ex-husband’s request. The last thing she expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon. But Hayes Campbell is clever, winning, confident, and posh, and the attraction is immediate. That he is all of twenty years old further complicates things. What begins as a series of clandestine trysts quickly evolves into a passionate relationship. It is a journey that spans continents as Solène and Hayes navigate each other’s disparate worlds: from stadium tours to international art fairs to secluded hideaways in Paris and Miami. And for Solène, it is as much a reclaiming of self, as it is a rediscovery of happiness and love. When their romance becomes a viral sensation, and both she and her daughter become the target of rabid fans and an insatiable media, Solène must face how her new status has impacted not only her life, but the lives of those closest to her.

From completely different walks of life, three young men meet at Marine Corps boot camp, where they form a powerful bond of friendship on their journey to manhood. Vanguard Womack, known as 'Van" to his friends, is a naïve country boy from South Dakota, driven to avenge his brother's death in the attacks on 9/11. Jerome Jackson, or 'Jo" from the tough streets of Philly, is trying to escape the decadent gangbanging lifestyle of the hood and fulfill the demands of his newly acquired sense of patriotism. And the affluent yet scamming college kid, Alex Feinstein, lands himself in a jam and enlists solely to avoid the threat of jail time for a past indiscretion. Their intentions and backgrounds couldn't be more different, yet, while trying to survive boot camp, they form an unusual bond and become best friends. With war looming on the horizon, the men prepare for a worst-case scenario and purchase insurance policies with an unexpected windfall. The strength of their bond will come under scrutiny and be severely tested when the trio is sent overseas-left to the uncertainties of combat. Will the rigors of war and greed over the insurance policy cost them their friendship, freedom, and even their lives?

A memorable and mouthwatering cook's tour of today's China As a freelance journalist and food writer living in Beijing, Jen Lin-Liu already had a ringside seat for China's exploding food scene. When she decided to enroll in a local cooking school--held in an unheated classroom with nary a measuring cup in sight--she jumped into the ring herself. Progressing from cooking student to noodle-stall and dumpling-house apprentice to intern at a chic Shanghai restaurant, she finds poor young men and women streaming in from the provinces in search of a "rice bowl" (living wage); a burgeoning urban middle class hungry for luxury after decades of turmoil and privation; and the mentors who take her in hand in the kitchen and beyond. Together they present an unforgettable slice of contemporary China in the full swing of social and economic transformation.

In Sicily, Normandy, and in the frozen hills of the Ardennes, America's airborne warriors proved themselves some of the toughest and most determined soldiers of World War 2. What made these soldiers so special? How were they recruited, how did they learn to jump and fight? What special tactics and equipment did they use? This title looks at what it was like to be one of the United States' airborne elite, through the experiences of the soldiers themselves. It is the story of the men who invariably led the way; the soldiers who flew to battle and walked home.
