<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Isa’s quiet as the guys talk until Jordy asks what we’ve all been
secretly wondering. “So, you and Liu a thing now?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">She stiffens beside me and swings her head toward him, frowning. She
better not say what I think she’s about to because no, no fucking way is she
going to date that douchebag. She’s way too good for a tool like him.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I brace myself for the admission, not that it’ll matter. Isa Romero is
mine. She can like Liu all she wants, I’ll wedge myself right in the middle if
I have to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">But instead of confirming their relationship, she says, “We’re just
friends.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I raise a brow and she sighs, shaking her head. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Why is that so hard to believe?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Our waitress drops off our orders before making a hasty retreat. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Jordy pops a fry into his mouth before saying with a grin, “Because Zheng
wants to bone you.” He chews, swallows, then eats another. “Can’t say I blame
him. You’re hot as hell, Isa.” She blushes. “But I know who you belong to. Liu
does, too, and he’s still making his plays.” He taps his temple with his index
finger. “Not smart on his part, but Liu never was the brightest crayon in the
box.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“I don’t belong to anyone.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I snort, leaning back in the booth and spreading my legs to get
comfortable. “Yeah, you do.” She frowns, looking from Jordy to me. “Time to get
with the program, vanilla. Admit you’re mine. It’s not nice messing with a
cat’s emotions like that. You know how we shifters get. Letting Liu believe he
has a chance is cruel.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“I’m <i>not</i>,” she snaps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Yeah, you are. Admit it.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">She scoffs before hissing, “You don’t own me. I don’t <i>belong</i> to
you. I am my own person with my own autonomy.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Keep telling yourself that but look where I am and look where you are.
This is a thing between us and I for one do not fucking share.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Which means outspoken, irreverent Izzy is literally a princess.</span></span></p><p><span face="Raleway-Regular, sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span face="Raleway-Regular, sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">In a whirlwind, Izumi travels to Japan to meet the father she never knew and discover the country she always dreamed of. But being a princess isn’t all ball gowns and tiaras. There are conniving cousins, a hungry press, a scowling but handsome bodyguard who just might be her soulmate, and thousands of years of tradition and customs to learn practically overnight.</span></span></p><p><span face="Raleway-Regular, sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span face="Raleway-Regular, sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Izumi soon finds herself caught between worlds, and between versions of herself—back home, she was never “American” enough, and in Japan, she must prove she’s “Japanese” enough. Will Izumi crumble under the weight of the crown, or will she live out her fairy tale, happily ever after?</span></span></p>Melissaa!?! @ Rambling of a Book Nerdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847658915154561460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768325260103498353.post-77388499252711782042020-10-16T20:04:00.007-05:002020-10-16T20:04:50.546-05:00Cover Reveal - FIRESIDE LOVE by S.L.

<h2><b>About </b><b><i>Fireside Love: </i></b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Kristy</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I hated my job. I had no social life.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Somehow I had become so predictable after my last relationship ended, that the cashier at the local food mart already had my favorite wine bagged and waiting for me behind the counter when I walked in on Friday afternoon.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I needed to get away, from everything.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">So when my best friend, Addie, called up and offered me a FREE weekend getaway, how could I say no.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Promises of a quiet weekend with a good book, warm fires, and flannel pajamas? Yes, please!</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Austin</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">It had been eighteen months.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Eighteen months, since I had lost my wife in a car accident and learned that our marriage had been nothing but one big lie.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I’d done nothing but work and mope around my sister’s house, so when she told me to take her cabin for the weekend. Time alone, surrounded by nature and the fresh cold mountain air was exactly what I’d been needing.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">However, my plans of being alone in the wilderness quickly vanished when I walked through the doors of the cabin and found my sister’s best friend drunk and half-naked on the floor of the very same cabin.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I’d hidden my crush on her for years. Perhaps, not well enough. After all, Addie must have set this up.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The weekend was about to get a lot more interesting.</span>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">From USA Today Bestselling Author S.L. Sterling comes this friends to lovers romance that will warm your heart on a cold winters night.</span></i>

<h2><b>Exclusive Excerpt: </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Dinner had been perfect, and after we ate, we cleaned up the area together. "They are having a huge campfire tonight down near the hotel. Did you want to go?" I asked, drying the last plate and putting it back in the cupboard.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">"No, I think I just want to stay in tonight. We can make smores over the stove and watch a movie."</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I let out a laugh. "We haven't done that since our teens."</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">"Speak for yourself. I happen to make smores all the time that way," Kristy said, pulling a chocolate bar and bag of marshmallows from the bag on the counter and holding them up.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> "Okay, well, one thing I am sure of is that I am not letting you cook the marshmallows. I remember what happened when we were younger, and I shudder to think you do this at home alone." I said, taking the bag from her hand.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">"What?" she asked, looking up at me with innocent eyes.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">"Really? You have to ask? You almost burned the kitchen down, remember? The marshmallow caught on fire and you went bananas waving it in the air."</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">"I was trying to put it out." She shrugged.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I laughed. "I think you might have been the reason I became a firefighter."</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Kristy laughed at the memory. "Glad I could help, I guess, but seriously, it was frightening," she said, shrugging.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">"That is the exact reason I will take over cooking the marshmallows."</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She smiled innocently up at me and shrugged. "All right then, I'm in charge of the crackers and chocolate."</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">"Perfect, they don't involve fire, so we are good." I said winking at her.</span><div>

<h2><b>About </b><b><i>Like You Mean It:</i></b></h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I want to make you smile like you mean it.”</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The day Cole Lannington says those words to me, I already know I’m falling. Hard. For a man I can never have. Because there’s no way in hell I’ll ever deserve a man like him.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Annie</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">All I need to do is keep my head above water. Push a little harder. Keep that smile plastered on my face for my son as we try to wade through the new life that’s threatening to drown us both.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But on the first day I can’t seem to hold it all together, I meet him. And for some reason, he comes to my aid. Before I know it, Cole steps in and becomes an important part of my life. Our lives. Fills a void left vacant by a man who never wanted to fill it in the first place.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Too bad he can never be more than a friend.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Cole</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">All I need to do is be a nice guy to my new neighbor. Make her smile a little bit. Find space in my tidy, structured life to ease the burden she carries so she and her son can enjoy life without the bastard who treated them like they were insignificant.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I don’t expect to talk and laugh and feel a warmth in my chest I didn’t know was missing until she showed up at my door. Somehow I end up caring about her more deeply than I should. But my friendship with Annie opens my eyes to what it could be like to have something deeper. To feel something stronger.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">To fall in love like I mean it.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Like You Mean It is the first book in the Like You Series and is a standalone novel.</span>

As I walked to the cafe where I was supposed to meet my parents, I kept looking back, half expecting that woman to follow. I spotted them waiting at a table. Ma was reading a book or pretending to. You could never tell with her.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri,sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Baba was people-watching, his watchful eyes taking everything in, down to the last detail. This was his favourite hobby. When I was a kid, dining out was just another lesson in spycraft. I had to observe and memorise everything about the room, from the number of waitstaff to the exits and cameras, as well as the details of all the other diners — how many people at each table, what they were wearing, and their expressions. When I got older, Baba would pick a table and I had to place a listening device at that table without being caught. That’s not as difficult as it sounds. You’d be surprised at what all you can do with a timely twist of the ankle.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri,sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">I knew that the moment I opened my mouth, that blank, expectant expression would turn into disapproval and disappointment, and my holiday would be ruined. I was not wrong.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri,sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">“Ma.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri,sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">That’s all I needed to say.

Normally, this was where I would get defensive and I’d lose the argument even before I spoke. Not this time.

<span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Yadriel has summoned a ghost, and now he can’t get rid of him.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When his traditional Latinx family has problems accepting his gender, Yadriel becomes determined to prove himself a real brujo. With the help of his cousin and best friend Maritza, he performs the ritual himself, and then sets out to find the ghost of his murdered cousin and set it free.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">However, the ghost he summons is actually Julian Diaz, the school’s resident bad boy, and Julian is not about to go quietly into death. He’s determined to find out what happened and tie up some loose ends before he leaves. Left with no choice, Yadriel agrees to help Julian, so that they can both get what they want.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> But the longer Yadriel spends with Julian, the less he wants to let him leave. </span></span><br />

manageable guide to forming a more conscientious, intentional life in just one
month. Offered inside is guidance for tackling waste and making ethical choices
when it comes to shopping, eating, travel, beauty, and more. With her signature
elegance and encouraging voice, Vandyke proves that we can stop depending on
plastics, tidy our homes, and clear the way for a cleaner future--and that when
we stop wasting, we start living.<o:p></o:p></div>

When people
hear of the conservationist lifestyle, it sounds idealistic and undesirable—a
life spent sacrificing conveniences and laboring over smelly compost. Not quite
so, according to stylish lifestyle expert, social influencer, and qualified
rocket scientist <b>Anita Vandyke</b>, whose popular Instagram (<a href="https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=4tNED-2FM8iDZJQyQ53jATUQbhiplhjyl4QcRwNc7RzVSCZ5ERCI7mbiTaLXid242GGwL9b5gLLpgyPELRkm5KTw-3D-3DToQS_r5n1JhSQ6UjsNen-2BMGwIQWkh0O5FPpognnfS8w8JtfmAb4FFrmbMPHqftFd0MiUI16eYoHrofQIpGm-2BaJ87cxpbQCHhhI5-2FH4syhvjsgPzPuQQb2Tiqx3onwP-2BsnHjwadEhGrHkuf-2B7-2FH2Wwmzm9JUXYOk8xSVC-2BVbgBDrxoly8uaJPLong-2FGsK40rGL929Ap0-2F-2BFl8Ix8ERrBTmYsG-2BXxMwtIIc5ndgh-2BopET9bB7ChYe2zUh7tb9UuyP052A4NgWc-2FilzxbU4OiVZ0BmCHR-2BXDVTLBGfhAUWvDCS5WGs1QvK7wlhs3jxc2PHiQk7AN7Vy5uG-2FtC-2FqIr6iE-2BbkyYQ2WTzNtQoTb1S6u8cNKv90-3D" target="_blank">@Rocket_Science</a>) documenting her hip, conservationist
lifestyle has amassed more than 82,000 followers, and who is the author of the
upcoming, much anticipated, beautifully illustrated, and highly readable
guidebook <b><i>A Zero Waste Life in Thirty Days</i>.</b><br />
<br />
Releasing just in time for Earth Day (April 22, 2020), <i>A Zero Waste
Life in Thirty Days</i> makes it easy—even convenient, fun, and envy
producing!—to become a conservationist. Inside, Vandyke elegantly and
encouragingly invites readers to follow a simple, manageable plan that will
incorporate sustainable techniques into their lives one day at a time over a
30-day period, and leave them with a more intentional, fulfilling, and
Earth-friendly lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Vandyke focuses on incorporating practical ways to reduce waste, such as with:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">food and shopping (become a better
cook, reduce costs from packaging, and spend less eating out);<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">beauty and cleaning (DIY organic
beauty and cleaning products to avoid toxins);<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">and recycling and composting (the
basics and why it isn’t as daunting (or smelly!) as it seems).<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Vandyke says
quitting her corporate job helped her find her path, and that her financial
savviness during her “funemployment” is what led to a zero waste lifestyle. “I
don’t have all the answers to living a 100% zero waste life,” she says. “It’s a
goal, nothing more. I believe we can all be everyday activists and take little
steps to reduce our waste.<o:p></o:p></div>

<strong>She wants to steal his Van Gogh. He wants to steal her heart.</strong>
Some people would call Clementine Abernathy a criminal. She considers herself a modern day Robin Hood, who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Not exactly on the up-and-up, but she knows what it's like to lose everything. Her latest heist involves swiping a priceless Van Gogh from its owner, who's supposed to be an egotistical trust-fund brat.
Turns out Jack David is a sexy, kind-hearted man...and Clementine is in trouble. Falling for her mark would make her the World's Dumbest Conwoman, but Jack is charmingly persistent, always singing sweet songs in her ear.
And that earth-shattering kiss? She never stood a chance.
Now she's imagining a fresh start with this dashing man, but that means telling Jack about her past. And other nefarious sorts are after the same painting. Too soon, Clementine learns what it means to risk it all for love.

<div dir="ltr">
Originally from a small town in Shropshire, England, Toni studied Marine Biology at University of Liverpool (B.Sc.) and University of St. Andrews (Ph.D.) with the intention she'd never be far from the ocean. Well, that plan backfired and she ended up in the Canadian prairies with her biology professor husband, two kids, a rescue dog, and a laid-back leopard gecko.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Toni started writing while pregnant with her first child and never stopped. Her greatest achievements are mastering the Tokyo subway, climbing Ben Lomond, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, and surviving fifteen Winnipeg winters (fingers crossed). She loves to travel for research purposes and was lucky enough to visit the Strategic Information and Operations Center inside FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. in 2016. She also got to shove another (police) car off the road during pursuit training at the Writer’s Police Academy. Basically she has way too much fun!</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Alessandra is tired of being overlooked, but she has a plan to gain power:</span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">1) Woo the Shadow King.</span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">2) Marry him.</span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">3) Kill him and take his kingdom for herself.</span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">No one knows the extent of the freshly crowned Shadow King’s power. Some say he can command the shadows that swirl around him to do his bidding. Others say they speak to him, whispering the thoughts of his enemies. Regardless, Alessandra knows what she deserves, and she’s going to do everything within her power to get it.</span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">But Alessandra’s not the only one trying to kill the king. As attempts on his life are made, she finds herself trying to keep him alive long enough for him to make her his queen—all while struggling not to lose her heart. After all, who better for a Shadow King than a cunning, villainous queen?</span></span></div>

<strong>With the campaign over, a new devious challenge awaits.</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought the toughest part was behind us. Stupid me. Now I have to live with the consequences of winning, some that make me regret ever stepping foot in this city. Day one in office I learn of the president’s true plan, one so manipulative I can’t allow it to come to fruition. But with zero allies to call on, I’ll need to work with my enemies to stand a chance at stopping him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least I have Trey, even if our scorching-hot affair can only happen in secret. Until the best part of my new life makes his own deal with a devil, I’m forced to make a choice. I can’t have it all in this power game they’ve woven, and watching me flounder is just part of their sick fun. Or can I play the game, change the rules, and have everything in the end?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Too bad for me, luck has never been on my side. It’s sink or swim here in DC, and I’m the idiot wearing cement shoes to the party.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Power Twist is the SECOND book in the five-book Power Play series offering more twists, turns and HEAT. Each book <strong><em>cannot</em></strong> be read as a standalone. All five books follow one main couple’s relationship as it grows through a five year time period. It’s suspenseful, steamy, and oh so unputdownable. If you’re a fan of Tiffany Snow, Meghan March, and Skye Warren then this series is for YOU!</div>

A bookworm at heart, Kennedy loves to snuggle up in bed or by the campfire with an unputdownable book. She began writing two years ago with <em>Falling for the Chance</em> and has no plans of stopping. Her novels are witty, action-packed, and offer enough steam for a great facial. If you like strong heroines and sexy, tattooed men who can’t keep their hands off them, then this author is the one for you.<br />

<b>A lush
tapestry of magic, romance, and revolución, drawing inspiration from Bolivian
politics and history.</b><br />
<br />
Ximena is the decoy Condesa, a stand-in for the last remaining Illustrian
royal. Her people lost everything when the usurper, Atoc, used an ancient relic
to summon ghosts and drive the Illustrians from La Ciudad. Now Ximena’s
motivated by her insatiable thirst for revenge, and her rare ability to spin
thread from moonlight.<br />
<br />
When Atoc demands the real Condesa’s hand in marriage, it’s Ximena’s duty to go
in her stead. She relishes the chance, as Illustrian spies have reported that
Atoc’s no longer carrying his deadly relic. If Ximena can find it, she can
return the true aristócrata to their rightful place.<br />
<br />
She hunts for the relic, using her weaving ability to hide messages in
tapestries for the resistance. But when a masked vigilante, a warm-hearted princess,
and a thoughtful healer challenge Ximena, her mission becomes more complicated.
There could be a way to overthrow the usurper without starting another war, but
only if Ximena turns her back on revenge—and her Condesa.<o:p></o:p></div>

“WOVEN IN
MOONLIGHT captured me on the first page. Ximena is a fierce and brave
heroine—one I have deeply come to love—and the world of Inkasisa is so
beautifully rendered I never wanted to leave it. Plot twists abound, the magic
is uniquely drawn, and intrigue illuminates the pages. Isabel Ibanez weaves together
a spellbinding, vivid debut.”<o:p></o:p></div>

Chapter 1<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div class="RTnoindent">
My banged-up spoon scrapes the bottom of a barrel that
should’ve held enough dried beans to last for three more months.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
<i>No, no, no.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="RT">
There has to be more.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
Sickness churns my stomach, and my
knuckles brush against bare wood as I coax a handful of shriveled beans into a
half-empty bag. I wipe dirty hands against my white trousers and ignore the
sweat dripping down my neck. The kingdom of Inkasisa is in the middle of her
stifling wet season. Even though it’s night, there’s no escaping the muggy
heat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“Something wrong, Condesa?” asks the next person in line waiting
for their ration. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
<i>Yes, in fact. We’re all going to starve.</i> Not that I can say
this out loud. It goes against everything I know to do as their leader: A
condesa should never show fear. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
I school my features into what I hope is a pleasant expression,
then turn to face the long line of Illustrians waiting for their evening
portions. Drawn faces stare back at me. White clothes hang off gaunt frames,
loose and big like the tents the Illustrians sleep in next to the keep.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
My whole life, I’ve trained for situations like this: manage
expectations, soothe people’s worries, feed them. It’s the condesa’s job.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
We’re standing in the round storage building with the door propped
open, allowing for people to crowd around as I sort through the provisions.
Luna’s light casts rectangular patterns on the dozens of empty barrels piled on
their sides, while a rickety wooden staircase leads up to the armory housing
swords, shields, and bundled arrows. All we could carry when we fled for our
lives the day La Ciudad Blanca fell. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
What would Ana, our general, want me to say? <i>Manage them. You’re
in charge.</i> <i>Don’t forget what’s at stake. We need to survive until we can
take back the throne.</i> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
I glance at the door, half expecting to find Ana’s broad shoulders
leaning against the frame, moonlight reflecting off the silver wisps in her
hair. But she’s not there. Ana left four days ago on a mission to chase a rumor
about Atoc, the false Llacsan king—a rumor that, if true, guarantees our
victory. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
She promised to be back by yesterday. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
An arm brushes against mine. Catalina, silently reminding me of her
presence. The knot in my chest unwinds slightly. I forgot she was standing
behind me, ever helpful. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“Bring me the wheat, por favor.” I gesture toward the wall the
barrels of rations are lined against. “And the cloth bags over on that shelf.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
<span style="letter-spacing: -.2pt;">She obeys, grabbing the supplies
off the shelf first and handing them to me, her dark eyes lowered. Then she
darts toward the barrel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="RT">
“Condesa?” a woman asks. “Is this all that’s left?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
I hesitate; the lie waiting on the tip of my tongue tastes sour and
wrong. My gaze returns to the dwindling piles of food at my feet: husked corn,
a half-filled bag of rice, and an almost empty basket of bread. Not nearly
enough. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
A lie won’t feed all these people. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“We’re short on some supplies,” I say with a tight smile. “No
beans, I’m afraid, but—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
Next to me Catalina stiffens, pausing in her attempt to drag the
wheat barrel to my side. Normally it takes the effort of two people, but
somehow she manages by herself. Which means <i>this</i> barrel isn’t full
either. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
<span style="letter-spacing: -.1pt;">The woman’s mouth drops open.
“No beans? </span><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL" lang="AR-YE" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;"><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span>¿</span><span style="letter-spacing: -.1pt;">No hay comida?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="RT">
“That’s not what I said.” I force my smile to remain in place as I
come to a split-second decision—our best and only option. “We have to be
careful with what we have. So here’s what’s going to happen: Starting
immediately, everyone will receive less than half their usual ration, per
family. I know it’s not ideal, but it’s either that or we starve,” I say
bluntly. “Your pick.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
Voices rise up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“Less than half?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“Not ideal?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
Another woman shouts, “How can there be no food left?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
<span style="letter-spacing: .1pt;">A headache presses against my
temple. “We do have <i>some</i> food—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="RT">
But the woman’s words travel down the line, catching fire in the
dark, until fifty people clamor for attention, wanting answers, wanting their
rations. They wave their empty baskets in the air. Their loud cries boom like
thunder in my ears. I want to duck for cover. But if I don’t do something, I’m
going to have a full-blown riot on my hands. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“Reassure them,” Catalina hisses. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“I can’t offer what we don’t have,” I whisper. Catalina shoots me a
meaningful look. A condesa should know how to maintain control of any
situation. “I’m doing my job. You do yours.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“Your job is my job,” she snaps. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
The people’s cries swell, bouncing off the walls and threatening to
strike me down. “<span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL" lang="AR-YE" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-ascii-font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro"; mso-bidi-language: AR-YE; mso-hansi-font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro";"><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span>¡</span>Comida! <span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL" lang="AR-YE" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-ascii-font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro"; mso-bidi-language: AR-YE; mso-hansi-font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro";"><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span>¡</span>Comida!”
The crowd stomps their feet and pushes in, hot breath brushing against my face
like heavy smoke. I fight the impulse to step back. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
Someone in the crowd yells for El Lobo, and I tense, hoping no one
else sings that stupid vigilante’s praises. Every time something goes wrong,
someone inevitably brings up the man in the mask. The trickster. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“El Lobo can help us—” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“He steals from Atoc’s coffers all the time—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“He’s the hero of Inkasisa—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
Oh, for goodness sake. He’s a man in a ridiculous mask. Even my niñera could prank that puffed-up idiotic
pretend king. And she was eighty the last time I saw her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“We want El Lobo!” someone shouts. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“Lobo! Lobo!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“That’s enough!” My voice rings out, sharp as the edge of a blade.
“No one speaks his name in my presence, understood? He’s a scoundrel who plays
pranks on the false king. That kind of reckless behavior could get us killed.
The vigilante is dangerous and not one of us.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
<span style="letter-spacing: -.1pt;">Someone throws a rock at a
window. Glass shatters, and moonlight-touched shards fly everywhere. Faces blur
as my vision darkens and I can only make out hints of mottled cheeks and
flailing arms as the crowd bellows for the vigilante. They press forward until
Catalina and I are almost backed against the wall. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="RT">
“Condesa,” Catalina says, her eyes wide and frantic.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
My mouth goes dry. The words don’t come. I glance at the empty
doorway, willing Ana to appear. But more people push into the building. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“I need . . . ” I begin. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“<span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL" lang="AR-YE" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-ascii-font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro"; mso-bidi-language: AR-YE; mso-hansi-font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro";"><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span>¿</span>Qué? <span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL" lang="AR-YE" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-ascii-font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro"; mso-bidi-language: AR-YE; mso-hansi-font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro";"><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span>¡</span>Más fuerte!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“I need you all to remain calm,” I say louder. “Shouting or
throwing rocks won’t fix the—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
<span style="letter-spacing: -.1pt;">Their protests grow louder and
louder until I can’t distinguish what they’re saying. My legs wobble, and it
takes every ounce of will left in me just to remain upright. It’s not supposed
to be like this. Ten years ago my people were the aristócratas of Inkasisa. But
our way of life, our culture,<i> </i>is gone, like pages torn from a book. No
more visits to the plaza to hear live music while strolling with friends in our
long skirts and fancy leather shoes. Or walking Cala Cala, the prettiest path
overlooking La Ciudad, where you can pick figs and peaches while enjoying the
vista. Birthday fiestas are a thing of the past, existing only in my memory,
but sometimes I can still taste my abuela’s torta de nuez, a rich walnut cake
smothered in creamed coffee and dulce de leche. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="RT">
Another rock sails toward a window, jarring me from my thoughts.
Shards of splintering glass ring in my ear. My nerves threaten to eat me from
the inside out. An empty feeling in the pit of my stomach makes my head spin. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
Catalina touches my arm and steps in front of me. “What the condesa
means is that we have a plan to get more food underway. For now we have plenty.
Everyone will receive the usual amount.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
I cut her a warning look, but Catalina ignores me. So does everyone
else. Her words work like a balm over a blistering wound. The crowd quiets and
holds out their baskets, mollified, shuffling around her like chickens clucking
for feed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
“Why don’t you all step back in line and I’ll sort out the food?
Have you on your way so that you can put your children to bed, and have
something to cook for your families tomorrow, all right?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
<span style="letter-spacing: -.1pt;">They file into a straight line
like obedient schoolchildren. I step away from Catalina, my shoulders slumping.
They don’t want me or the bad news I carry. I can’t give them what they need,
so I give them what they want instead—Catalina. Their friend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="RT">
Something I can’t be as their supposed queen. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
She knocks the lid off the barrel at my elbow and scoops up a
handful of wheat. “Who’s first?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
Catalina distributes heaping portions of wheat and bundles of
husked corn until only a smattering of provisions remain. Then she reaches for
the barrels that contain the last of our supplies—<i>for emergencies only</i>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
I stand off to the side, my fists clenched and my mouth shut. I
can’t manage a polite smile even if I try. Ana normally leads undercover raids
to La Ciudad to steal food, but since she’s not back, who knows how long it’ll
be before we get more supplies? At the rate Catalina’s giving out rations, we
have mere days left. And just who does she think they’ll come after when
everyone discovers how close to starving we are? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
Certainly not to their <i>friend.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="RT">
Catalina spares me a brief glance, then she picks up a small bowl
by her feet filled with a handful of dried beans, ground wheat, and an ear of
corn. Her own ration she set aside earlier. She hands it to the next person in
line. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RT">
<span style="letter-spacing: -.1pt;">“I need air,” I say curtly.
Without looking at her, I head toward the door. The remaining crowd parts so I
can pass. Glass crunches underneath the soles of my leather boots. I avert my
gaze from their watchful eyes, but I feel their disappointment anyway. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="RT">
The condesa has let them down. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><b>You Too?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">by Various Authors</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Edited by Janet Gurtler</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><b>Genre: </b>YA</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><b>Release Date:</b> January 7th 2020</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif;">A timely and heartfelt collection of essays inspired by the #MeToo movement, edited by acclaimed young adult and middle-grade author Janet Gurtler. Featuring Beth Revis, Mackenzi Lee, Ellen Hopkins, Saundra Mitchell, Jennifer Brown, Cheryl Rainfield and many more.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br style="background-color: white; font-family: merriweather, georgia, serif;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif;">When #MeToo went viral, Janet Gurtler was among the millions of people who began to reflect on her past experiences. Things she had reluctantly accepted—male classmates groping her at recess, harassment at work—came back to her in startling clarity. She needed teens to know what she had not: that no young person should be subject to sexual assault, or made to feel unsafe, less than or degraded.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br style="background-color: white; font-family: merriweather, georgia, serif;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif;">You Too? was born out of that need. By turns thoughtful and explosive, these personal stories encompass a wide range of experiences and will resonate with every reader who has wondered, “Why is this happening to me?” or secretly felt that their own mistreatment or abuse is somehow their fault—it’s not. Candid and empowering, You Too? is written for teens, but also an essential resource for the adults in their lives—an urgent, compassionate call to listen and create change.</span><br />
