Traditionally seen as one of Shakespeare's more romantic and enchanting plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream has more recently been seen as a darker and more sinister play than generations of schoolchildren have ever imagined. The play has usually been seen as a comical tale with confused identities and the fickleness of youthful love, as the young lovers, Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius and Helena escape parental control and the "sharp Athenian law" of their elders by eloping into the forest outside the city. Unfortunately they stumble into civil war in fairyland, where King Oberon and Queen Titania fight over possession of a beautiful young Indian "changeling" boy. The appearance of the "rude mechanicals", a group of Athenian workers, including the weaver Nick Bottom, compounds the confusion. Chaos, confusion and "shaping fantasies" reign before the final settlement of the play, but underneath all the hilarity many critics have discerned more ambivalent attitudes towards coercive parental control, bestial sexuality and the destructive power of desire. These approaches in no way detract from the exquisite lyricism of many sections of the play, but make it a more complex and effective comedy than has often been appreciated. --Jerry Brotton

Summary:

Norah Johnson is at a crossroads and is in desperate need to heal after a highly publicized breakup from her major league baseball player boyfriend. To escape, she moves to her summer home at the beach with her sister and best friend where she journals, attends therapy and works on her pending clothing line. When a gorgeous stranger finds her lost journal, he seeks to find the author and make her fall in love with him. But is Norah ready to love again?

The low-down your BFF would give you:

Norah Johnson has everything going for her ? a fabulous life; a chance-of-a-life-time, career-thrusting opportunity; a well-to-do supportive family, great style and fabulous friends. But everything comes crashing down around her after the discovery that her college-sweetheart-turned-mega-baseball-superstar boyfriend, Truett Jackson, cheated on her during her Mulan fashion internship. Not only did he cheat, but now his attention-prone-wanna-be-Megan Fox-look-alike actress girlfriend is pregnant with his child ? or at least as far as he knows, it?s his child; and consequently, he is now marrying her.

Upon such revelation, Norah endures a heart-breaking confrontation the night before Truett?s wedding that causes her life to spiral downhill into a despair she?s never known. But hey! Girls with great ambition and great fashion sense cannot afford to stay down for too long. But, wait, how can one heal after such heartbreak? Does one ever?

Norah has to learn how to heal and move forward with her life so she can produce her last final fashion pieces in order to appease her financial backer and, thus, be on her way to opening her dream boutique.

But just how fast can a heart really heal? And does one ever heal after such devastating news?

Well, it sure helps when part of the healing process involves living in a fabulous summer home on the beach with your sister and absolute BFF. Okay, check. The best psychologist since Good Will Hunting always helps! Alright, check! And then there?s the hottie, much older version of Taylor Lautner look-alike who finds your lost journal, reads it and falls madly in love with you, ?the you on paper?, and is set on finding you and making you fall in love with him.- Okay DOUBLE, DOUBLE check!

Journey with Norah and her summer to heal as she lives again, loves again and laughs again.

The Last Page is a PG, language-free, sex-free, novel (38k words) suitable for all ages.

While on assignment in Utah, Christine Temetri isn?t surprised when yet another prophesied Apocalypse fails to occur. After three years of reporting on End Times cults for a religious news magazine, Christine is seriously questioning her career choice. But then she meets Mercury, a cult leader whose knowledge of the impending Apocalypse is decidedly more solid than most: he is an angel, sent from heaven to prepare for the Second Coming but distracted by beer, ping pong, and other earthly delights. After Christine and Mercury inadvertently save Karl Grissom?a film-school dropout and the newly appointed Antichrist?from assassination, she realizes the three of them are all that stand in the way of mankind?s utter annihilation. They are a motley crew compared to the heavenly host bent on earth?s destruction, but Christine figures they?ll just have to do. Full of memorable characters, Mercury Falls is an absurdly funny tale about unlikely heroes on a quest to save the world.
