    "Give this book a read. I believe it might change your life!" he winked at me, revealing a missing tooth.I clutched the book to my chest and skipped away from the shop while my mum hurried to catch up.Abu Saleh was a man in his mid-fifties or maybe older. He looked just as dusty as his stacks owww.onedoor.ccf pre-loved books. His book store was like nothing I'd seen before, or since. The only way I can describe it would be a rabbit hole. I suspected it wasn't meant to be a store at all. My mum's theory was that it could've been a broom closet or something like that which had been annexed to one of the adjac...XmHone door

The US government ceased to exist when its two primary parties decided to go ...XmHone door

    A Bitterness Like Honey

    Sloane-Amalia is not afraid of the highborns in Lord Solomon's ballroom because she is better than a great many of them.Their poorly hidden disgust had been evident the moment of her arrival at Hallow Hall. They knew not to approach her. It wasn’t just bladed words that kept them away. No, it was the complete and utter loyalty the common people of the Paele Isles showed her. They loved her because they knew that Sloane-Amalia did what they wanted first, and what the nobles wanted last. Now they gather in their groups and dare not cross where the ballroom’s brown marble flooring becomes the pri...XmHone door
