WHEN LOVE AND JEALOUSY COLLIDE ON THE SLOPES, WINTER BREAK TURNS DEADLY . . .

Rose loves Dimitri, Dimitri might love Tasha, and Mason would die to be with Rose . . .

It's winter break at St Vladimir's, but Rose is feeling anything but festive. A massive Strigoi attack has put the school on high alert, and now the Academy's crawling with Guardians - including Rose's hard-hitting mother, Janine Hathaway. And if hand-to-hand combat with her mom wasn't bad enough, Rose's tutor Dimitri has his eye on someone else, her friend Mason's got a huge crush on her, and Rose keeps getting stuck in Lissa's head while she's making out with her boyfriend, Christian! The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy's not taking any risks . . . This year, St Vlad's annual holiday ski trip is mandatory.

But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho resort only create the illusion of safety. When three friends run away in an offensive move against the deadly Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue them. But heroism rarely comes without a price . . .

BOUND BY LOVE, BUT SWORN TO KILL . . .

The recent attack on St. Vladimir's Academy devastated the entire Moroi world. Many are dead. And, for the few victims carried off by Strigoi, their fates are even worse. A rare tattoo now adorns Rose's neck; a mark that says she's killed far too many Strigoi to count.

But only one victim matters . . . Dimitri Belikov. Rose must now choose one of two very different paths: honoring her life's vow to protect Lissa-her best friend and the last surviving Dragomir princess-or dropping out of the Academy to strike out on her own and hunt down the man she loves. She'll have to go to the ends of the earth to find Dimitri and keep the promise he begged her to make. But the question is, when the time comes, will he want to be saved?

Title: Fed to Red Birds

Author: Rijn Collins

Narrator: Jessica Tovey

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:39:28

Language: English

Release date: 03-07-23

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Australia

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, Fairy Tales & Folklore

Summary:

Prepare to be bewitched by Iceland and the book that has enchanted readers for decades – and imprisoned one of them.

Longlisted for the Indie Book Awards 2024

 

Elva loves Iceland for many reasons – the epic landscape of gods and volcanoes, weather that’s the polar opposite of her home in Australia, and the fact that it’s where her mother might have gone back to when she disappeared. Iceland is where Elva’s beloved grandfather – the famous children’s book author – lives in a remote village and where the beings that haunt her imagination reside.

 

Elva is interested in the odd things people make – Victorian collectibles, old spells, taxidermy, fairy tales. The weird, the wonderful and the sometimes macabre. She’s got a few quirks of her own that she’s (mainly) keeping under control. Except one.

 

Working in a shop of curiosities, studying at an Icelandic language school, Elva begins to explore her obsessions, and when her grandfather suffers a stroke, they threaten to overtake her. Then she meets Remy, a painter who’s got some secrets of his own …

 

In her captivating debut, Rijn Collins has created a beautifully evocative portrait of an enchanted mind in an enchanting place – a story of everyday magic, both dark and light; of families and the shadows they can cast; of the delights and dangers of the imagination. Fed to Red Birds will transport you to remote corners of both the world and the human heart.

‘Intensely evocative and beautiful.’ Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rights

'Rijn Collins is a writer of great humanity and intelligence who has fashioned a vividly realised portrait of a young woman trying to make a life for herself in the shadow of familial trauma and dysfunction.' Simon McDonald, Kill Your Darlings

‘Fed to Red Birds is dreamy and immersive … both travelogue and beautifully written literary fiction. It is for readers who loved the insightful prose and armchair travel of Cold Enough for Snow by Jessica Au and the brooding, fairytale-esque feelings of Hydra by Adriane Howell.’ Books+Publishing

'[T]he sense of place in this novel is spellbinding – as is Collins’s prose in describing it.' Australian Book Review

'[L]ost in this book, I have only put it down for long enough to write this column, and am already missing Iceland and Elva terribly ... I feel I am typing this with frost-bitten fingers while being watched by trolls.' The Canberra Times

'Fed to Red Birds is a quietly haunting novel that leads us to ponder our histories and genealogies, and how we hold onto the past through our obsessions and compulsions.' Better Reading

Title: Day-Breakers

Author: Michael Fraser

Narrator: Michael Fraser

Format: Unabridged

Length: 01:17:44

Language: English

Release date: 02-28-23

Publisher: ECW Press

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Summary:

Saturated with locutions lifted from the late 19th century, The Day-Breakers deeply conceives of what African Canadian soldiers experienced before, during, and in the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War.

It is not wise to waste the life / Against a stubborn will. / Yet would we die as some have done. / Beating a way for the rising sun wrote Arna Bontemps. In The Day-Breakers, poet Michael Fraser imagines the selflessness of Black soldiers who fought for the Union during the American Civil War, of whom hundreds were African-Canadian, fighting for the freedom of their brethren and the dawning of a new day. Brilliantly capturing the rhythms of their voices and the era in which they lived and fought, Frasers The Day-Breakers is an homage to their sacrifice and an unforgettable act of reclamation: the restoration of a language, and a powerful new perspective on Black history and experience.

It is a manifesto and call to action for women to lift themselves and each other up by refusing to accept limitations and instead embracing an ethos of possibility.

There are big gorgeous goals that we all need to set. These are so different from goals that we know we can accomplish because they feel safe and tidy. These goals scare us; they keep us up at nightbecause we fear they are beyond our grasp.

We all know women who are great at achieving big gorgeous goals. How do they do it? What allows them to reach outward, upward, and think expansively? The book explores the possibilities that open when we set big gorgeous goals, and the common characteristics in the women who move towards these.

Through stories and lessons, the book shows women leaders how thinking beyond habitual limits allows us to surpass our current levels of success. It includes Julies personal story of becoming a founder of an unexpectedly and wildly successful childrens labels company that started in one of the founders basement and was eventually sold at an eight-figure price. And it tells the story of what happened next, when having hit a business high, she found herself at an inflection point, where she needed to draw on different resources to find a new path to success. Julie Ellis shares the lessons she has learned as an entrepreneur and those of several other women entrepreneurs she interviewed for the book. Their experiences impart to readers the qualities that allow us to thrive as women in business, to healthily, sustainably integrate the work of leadership into their larger lives as mothers, caregivers, partners, dreamers and so much more
