What happens when you’re snowed in on a mountain ranch, with the one man you definitely should not be fantasizing about?
I’ve always done what was expected of me. Layla Birch, the good girl.
Forced to grow up too fast. To take care of everything myself. I had a plan.

My ex-boyfriend’s father.
The nights are long and cold on top of this mountain. As the snow grows thicker and the tension builds between us, we’re both inching closer to a line we shouldn’t cross.
Each day, it grows harder to resist the man who looks at me with longing in his eyes.
It’s tempting to forget about being the good girl for once.
No one would find out. Would they?
Chasing The Wild is an interconnected stand-alone, book 1 in the all-new Crimson Ridge series, and can be read separately. Intended for ages 18 and over. #ElliottRose

#PDFDownload The Great Arab Conquests by John Bagot Glubb

In less than fifty years, the Bedouins of Arabia established the greatest empire in the world of their day and one of the greatest in history. These years, from 630-680, not only transformed a whole vast region, but ensured that the pattern of life in the Middle East would never be the same again. Muhammed and his immediate successors decided the framework of many things for thirteen hundred years. In this vivid book, Arabic scholar John "Pasha" Glubb chronicles the amazingly short period of time in which the Bedouin Empire developed, highlighting the simplicity of its administration and the many victories achieved through sheer zeal and courage by relatively untrained and unorganized armies. Illustrated with carefully researched b&w maps, Glubb's history is made relevant and highly readable by his forthright style, his knowledge of the terrain, and his gift for seeing modern parallels, rendering this one of the best one-volume treatments of the subject ever written.

Now Lionel Acrux has the strength to make a move for the throne, I’m not sure how much time we have left to stop him.

#PDFDownload The Great Arab Conquests: How the Spread of Islam Changed the World We Live In by Hugh Kennedy

Today’s Arab world was created at breathtaking speed. In just over 100 years following the death of Mohammed in 632, Arabs had subjugated a territory with an east-west expanse greater than the Roman Empire. They did it in about one-half the time. By the mid-8th century, Arab armies had conquered the 1000-year-old Persian Empire, reduced the Byzantine Empire to little more than a city-state based around Constantinople, and destroyed the Visigoth kingdom of Spain. The cultural and linguistic effects of this early Islamic expansion reverberate today. This is the first popular English-language account in many years of this astonishing remaking of the political and religious map of the world. Hugh Kennedy’s sweeping narrative reveals how the Arab armies conquered almost everything in their path, and brings to light the unique characteristics of Islamic rule. One of the few academic historians with a genuine talent for story telling, Kennedy offers a compelling mix of larger-than-life characters, fierce battles, and the great clash of civilizations and religions. #HughKennedy

#PDFDownload The 100 Greatest Advertisements 1852-1958: Who Wrote Them and What They Did by Julian Watkins

Andy has a lot to learn, not least his ex-girlfriend's side of the story.
Warm, wise, funny and achingly relatable, Dolly Alderton's highly-anticipated second novel is about the mystery of what draws us together - and what pulls us apart - the pain of really growing up, and the stories we tell about our lives. #DollyAlderton

World's Hottest Year On Record? 2024 Braces for Potential Climate Catastrophe

A chilling reality check has arrived: 2023 shattered previous records to become the hottest year ever recorded. This grim milestone serves as a stark reminder of the accelerating climate crisis and the dire consequences facing the planet. Scientists warn that 2024 could potentially surpass even 2023's scorching temperatures, further pushing the delicate balance of Earth's ecosystems towards a tipping point.

The impacts of global warming are already being felt worldwide. Extreme weather events like heatwaves, droughts, floods, and wildfires are becoming more frequent and intense. Sea levels rise, threatening coastal communities and low-lying islands. Glacier melt contributes to rising sea levels and disrupts vital freshwater supplies. The delicate balance of marine ecosystems is jeopardized, impacting food security and livelihoods for millions.

The scientific community calls for immediate and drastic action to avert climate catastrophe. Ambitious emissions reduction targets set by the Paris Agreement must be met and surpassed. Fossil fuel dependence must be phased out in favor of renewable energy sources. Investment in energy efficiency and sustainable technologies is crucial. Protecting and restoring natural ecosystems, like forests and mangroves, plays a vital role in mitigating climate change.

Macron Appoints France's Youngest Prime Minister: Fresh Start or Political Gambit?

French President Emmanuel Macron has shaken up the political landscape with his surprise appointment of Olivier Attal, a 34-year-old former digital minister, as the country's new Prime Minister. This unconventional choice has garnered mixed reactions, sparking both hope for a fresh perspective and concerns over political inexperience.

Attal, a skilled technocrat with a background in finance and consulting, represents a stark contrast to the traditional profile of French prime ministers. His youthful energy and digital expertise resonate with a younger generation increasingly alienated from established politics. This appointment is seen by some as a bold attempt to revitalize Macron's presidency after a turbulent midterm period.

However, critics point to Attal's lack of experience in navigating the complex world of French politics. They question his ability to manage a diverse coalition of lawmakers and address pressing issues like the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and social unrest. Furthermore, concerns linger about potential clashes between Attal's technocratic approach and the more ideological demands of Macron's party.

Despite the uncertainties, Attal's appointment undoubtedly creates a moment of renewed interest in French politics. The public yearns for a government that can effectively tackle challenges and offer a clear vision for the future. #French
