The Secret World of Briar Rose

Cindy Pham

A lush and immersive queer “Sleeping Beauty” retelling about escapism, grief, and dreaming of a better world, as imagined by YouTube star Cindy Pham100 years have passed since the last heir of Gyldan fell into eternal slumber and doomed the once-mighty kingdom into poverty and invasion. At least, that’s what the fairy tales claim. Corin is a jaded thief who doesn’t believe in fables, even when she searches Gyldan’s underground tunnels to find her younger sister, Elly, who ran away to find the sleeping princess in hopes of a better life. Corin's conviction is challenged when she discovers the ruins of the ancient castle, maintained by beings from the kingdom's golden age, who protect a hidden portal into princess Amelia's subconscious. Following Elly’s voice, Corin jumps in the portal and seals the entry behind her.Inside the lush world of Amelia's dreams, the sisters reunite for a new adventure as they meet Briar Rose, Amelia’s whimsical alter ego, and Malicine, a sharp-tongued demon with a gift for magic. But as they explore ice castles, sunflower mazes, and star-filled oceans, Corin suspects Briar Rose is hiding darker secrets behind her "perfect" paradise – and that there are some things their subconscious can’t bury forever.

Rogue Protocol (The Murderbot Diaries, #3)

Martha Wells

SciFi’s favorite antisocial A.I. is again on a mission. The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah’s SecUnit is. And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good.

Tender Is the Flesh

Agustina Bazterrica

Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans —though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing. Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.

Law & Literature

Richard A. Posner

Hailed in its first edition as an “outstanding work, as stimulating as it is intellectually distinguished” ( New York Times ), Law and Literature has handily lived up to the Washington Post ’s prediction that the book would “remain essential reading for many years to come.” This third edition, extensively revised and enlarged, is the only comprehensive book-length treatment of the field. It continues to emphasize the essential differences between law and literature, which are rooted in the different social functions of legal and literary texts. But it also explores areas of mutual illumination and expands its range to include new topics such as the cruel and unusual punishments clause of the Constitution, illegal immigration, surveillance, global warming and bioterrorism, and plagiarism. In this edition, literary works from classics by Homer, Shakespeare, Milton, Dostoevsky, Melville, Kafka, and Camus to contemporary fiction by Tom Wolfe, Margaret Atwood, John Grisham, and Joyce Carol Oates come under Richard Posner’s scrutiny, as does the film The Matrix . The book remains the most clear, acute account of the intersection of law and literature.

Law, Literature, and Violence Against Women: Ending the Victim Blame Game

Erin L. Kelley

This book engages legal and literary texts in order to examine acquaintance crimes, such as rape, sexual harassment, stalking, and domestic abuse, and to challenge how the victim’s physical or psychological "freeze response" is commonly and inaccurately mistaken for her consent. Following increased interest in the #MeToo movement and the discoveries of sexual abuse by numerous public figures, this book analyzes themes in law and literature that discredit victims and protect wrongdoers. Interpreting a present-day novel alongside legislation and written court cases, each chapter pairs a fictional text with a nonfictional counterpart. In these pairings, the themes, events, and arguments of each are carefully unpacked and compared against one another. As the cross-readings unfold, we learn that a victim does not "ask for it," and she should not arouse suspicions just because she does not fight, run away, or report the crime. Instead, and as this book demonstrates, the more common and most practical response is to become physically and mentally paralyzed by fear; the victim dissociates, shuts down, and remains stuck in the fright and captivity of abuse. This book will interest scholars and students working in, and especially at the intersection of, law, literature, gender studies, and criminology.

Oedipus Rex (The Theban Plays, #1)

Sophocles Sophocles

"...what man wins more happiness than just its shape and the ruin when that shape collapses?" Sophocles' Oedipus Rex has never been surpassed for the raw and terrible power with which its hero struggles to answer the eternal question, "Who am I?" The play, a story of a king who acting entirely in ignorance kills his father and marries his mother, unfolds with shattering power; we are helplessly carried along with Oedipus towards the final, horrific truth. To make Oedipus more accessible for the modern reader, our Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classics includes a glossary of the more difficult words, as well as convenient sidebar notes to enlighten the reader on aspects that may be confusing or overlooked. We hope that the reader may, through this edition, more fully enjoy the beauty of the verse, the wisdom of the insights, and the impact of the drama.

And He Shall Appear

Kate van der Borgh

A deeply unsettling story of obsessive friendship, dark magic and the ways in which we mythologise our past When a young man arrives in Cambridge as a first-year student, everything about him marks him as an outsider. There’s the punting and the politics, the wine and the waistcoats, all seemingly familiar to everyone but him. Then he falls under the spell of Bryn Cavendish. A notorious partier and skilled magician, Bryn is magnetic. To be in his circle is to revel in clouds of ecstasy, untouched by the rules. To be exiled from it is to haunt the peripheries of campus life like a ghost. As the academic year intensifies and Bryn’s magic tricks become more sinister, one question lingers. Is Bryn’s charisma the source of the influence he wields? Or is his mastery dependent on a much darker and dangerous power?

Minicovers for eBooks - any ideas?

First of all - I am kinda overwhelmed by the positivity in this community. I'm a fresh user, really love it here and can't wait to expirience the next years with all of you. I want to apologise in advance about the bumpy english, it's not my first language. I try to get by without translation-apps 😬 Now about the topic: I started to make a mini version of every book i finish in 2023. My BF 3d-printed a little bookshelf, i scan the book i finished, print out a very small version of the cover, fill it with little cutouts from an old dictionary (so it feels like a book) and put them in the bookcase with little 3d-printed year-markers as separators. My problem with this is now that I've started to read a lot more eBooks and have no cover to scan. I can't go to the libraries here and scan the covers because they don't carry a lot of books in english. Most of the books don't have full covers (front, back, and spine) on google. If there are any seperate pictures i edit them (badly with paint, but at that size you cant really tell) into one cover but thats really rare. Most times there isn't any picture of the back to be found. Does anyone know where i could find full covers or has any idea for another solution?

Edit: With the fantastic help and inspiration of estefonzii I backtracked my Bookjourney since 2010 😁 and filled two shelves with cute miniatures 🥰 I uploaded the pictures to my Dropbox so you can see them.

my bf uploaded the 3d-printing-file for my custom made bookshelf to makerworld for free, in case anybody wants to print a copy

My next project will be a minicover for every book on my TBR so i can pick random books to read 😅 this might kill me because thats a huge TBR. But I will be so happy when it's done. I can't wait to fill the next years!

Thank you for your kind help!
