Lost in a Good Game
When Pete Etchells was 14, his father died from motor neurone disease. In order to cope, he immersed himself in a virtual world - first as an escape, but later to try to understand what had happened. Etchells is now a researcher into the psychological effects of video games, and was co-author on a recent paper explaining why WHO plans to classify 'game addiction' as a danger to public health are based on bad science and (he thinks) are a bad idea.
In this, his first book, he journeys through the history and development of video games - from Turing's chess machine to mass multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft- via scientific study, to investigate the highs and lows of playing and get to the bottom of our relationship with games - why we do it, and what they really mean to us.
At the same time, Lost in a Good Game is a very unusual memoir of a writer coming to terms with his grief via virtual worlds, as he tries to work out what area of popular culture we should classify games (a relatively new technology) under.

Lost in a Good Game
'Etchells writes eloquently ... A heartfelt defence of a demonised pastime' The Times
'Once in an age, a piece of culture comes along that feels like it was specifically created for you, the beats and words and ideas are there because it is your life the creator is describing. Lost In A Good Game is exactly that. It will touch your heart and mind. And even if Bowser, Chun-li or Q-Bert weren't crucial parts of your youth, this is a flawless victory for everyone' Adam Rutherford

Lost In A Good Book
Thursday Next, literary detective and newlywed, is back to embark on an adventure that begins, quite literally on her own doorstep. It seems that Landen, her husband of four weeks, actually drowned in an accident when he was two years old. Someone, somewhere, sometime, is responsible. The sinister Goliath Corporation wants its operative Jack Schitt out of the poem in which Thursday trapped him, and it will do almost anything to achieve this - but bribing the ChronoGuard? Is that possible? Having barely caught her breath after The Eyre Affair, Thursday must battle corrupt politicians, try to save the world from extinction, and help the Neanderthals to species self-determination. Mastadon migrations, journeys into Just William, a chance meeting with the Flopsy Bunnies, and violent life-and-death struggles in the summer sales are all part of a greater plan. But whose? and why?

Could they - should they - become the school's most unlikely couple?
Good Boy - Jófiú - PNC 1. rész
Ha eddig nem voltál jéghokirajongó, mostantól az leszel.
Jess Canning életének legnagyobb kihívása, hogy megszervezze az öccse, Jamie és hokisztár párja, Wes esküvőjét, ahol a legmenőbb
hokijátékosok is ott vannak a vendéglistán. Mivel eleve ő a család fekete báránya, nem vallhat kudarcot. És senki - de tényleg senki! - nem szerezhet tudomást az óriási hibáról, amit tavasszal, egy gyenge pillanatában követett el a vőlegény tanújával. Helytelen dolog volt, aminek nem lesz ismétlése. Kizárt. Még akkor sem, ha a világ legszexibb pasijáról van szó.
Blake Riley a sors személyes ajándékának érzi az esküvőt. Jess és ő is tanúk? Kezdődjön a játék! És akkor mi van, ha némi (na jó, nagy) ellenállásba ütközik? Csak meg kell győznie a makacs szőkét, hogy igazából jófiú, rossz hírnévvel. Szerencsére minden profi hokijátékos tudja, hogy erőfeszítést kell tennie, ha gólt akar lőni.
Jessnek viszont égetőbb problémája is akad annál, mintsem hogy pásztorórákra gondoljon egy nagyra nőtt kisfiúval. Vajon időben elkezdődik a szertartás - még akkor is, ha valaki leitatta a nagymamát? Való egyáltalán csillám egy esküvőre? És mennyire helyénvaló kinyírni a vőlegény tanúját?
Vigyázat, véletlen tea- vagy kávéfélrenyelést okozhat!
Ne olvasd nyilvános helyen, ahol nem illik hangosan nevetni!
Szexi, de vicces hokijátékosokat tartalmaz, kiskutya-ölelgetéssel és egy pikáns fehérneművel.
Hagyd, hogy magával ragadjon!

Csinos játék babák 2: Pretty Lost Dolls - Elveszett babácskák
Ragadtad már meg más lelkét valaha a saját lényeddel,
magadba szívva őt, hogy a részeddé váljon?
Én igen.
Végre elkezdtem élni, érezni és szerelembe esni
- ebben a nagy káoszban, ami körülvesz.
Kibújtam a védőpáncélomból, és beengedtem valakit a szívembe.
Nyitva hagytam a lelkemet.
Nyitva hagytam a szívemet.
Nyitva hagytam az ajtót.
Ő pedig elrabolt.
Dillon... sajnálom.
Bennynek volt egy beteg babácskája, hajjajaj.
Aki pont úgy vágyott a sötétségre, mint ő maga, hajjajaj.
Úgyhogy közösen gyötörtek, vadásztak, játszadoztak, hajjajaj.
Bűneik halálos eleggyé összeálltak, ajjajaj.
Ám Bennynek hiányozni kezdett az elveszett babája, hajjajaj.
Bármi áron meg kellett találnia, hogy szerethesse, hajjajaj.
Nem akart kettesben maradni a beteg babájával, hajjajaj.
Terveket szőtt, hogy hazahozza a mocskos babácskáját, ajjajaj.
Egy különleges szerzőpáros páratlanul sötét kötete.
Csak erős lelkeknek!
"K Webster és Ker Dukey újabb sötét és felzaklató körre visz minket.
Nem tudom, miért kerültem valaha is
az ilyesfajta történeteket, mert ÚRISTEN, annyira imádom
ezt a sorozatot! Piszkosul TÖKÉLETES!!!"

The Lost Apothecary
With crackling suspense, unforgettable characters and searing insight, The Lost Apothecary is a subversive and intoxicating debut novel of secrets, vengeance and the remarkable ways women can save each other despite the barrier of time.
Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual kind of clientele. Women across the city whisper of a mysterious figure named Nella who sells well-disguised poisons to use against the oppressive men in their lives. But the apothecary’s fate is jeopardized when her newest patron, a precocious twelve-year-old, makes a fatal mistake, sparking a string of consequences that echo through the centuries.
Meanwhile in present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, running from her own demons. When she stumbles upon a clue to the unsolved apothecary murders that haunted London two hundred years ago, her life collides with the apothecary’s in a stunning twist of fate—and not everyone will survive.
