Destined (Book #4 in the Vampire Journals)

Ever since Rosa's nerve disease rendered her quadriplegic, she's depended on her handsome, confident older brother to be her rock and her mirror. But when a doctor from Boston chooses her to be a candidate for an experimental brain transplant, she and her family move from London in search of a miracle. Sylvia—a girl from a small town in Massachusetts —is brain dead, and her parents have agreed to donate her body to give Rosa a new life. But when Rosa wakes from surgery, she can' t help but wonder, with increasing obsession, who Sylvia was and what her life was like. Her fascination with her new body and her desire to understand Sylvia prompt a road trip based on self-discovery… and a surprising new romance. But will Rosa be able to solve the dilemma of her identity?

This title comes with an introduction by John Mullen. Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire on his cathedral. His mason anxiously advises against it, for the old cathedral was built without foundations. Nevertheless, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, until the stone pillars shriek and the ground beneath it swims. Its shadow falls ever darker on the world below, and on Dean Jocelin in particular. From the author of Lord of the Flies, The Spire is a dark and powerful portrait of one man's will, and the folly that he creates. "e;Quite simply, a marvel"e;. (Frank Kermode, New York Review of Books). "e;Superb…The book should become a classic"e;. (Sunday Telegraph). "e;An engrossing story"e;. (New York Times Book Review).

11,002 Things to Be Miserable About is a list of all the reasons NOT to wake up in the morning. Ironically enough, when you put all of them under one cover, it's actually very funny. This decidedly absurd inventory of misery is perfect for sardonic and disaffected youth, for people seeking gifts for Traumatic Event Birthdays (like 21, 25, 30, 40, and, well, anything after 40), and for anyone else with an offbeat sense of humor. Enjoy. Some of the entries are pretty basic, like imitation crabmeat, student loans, and David Hasselhoff, but other entries actually include educational things, like: Dust mites, which make up one-third of the weight of a six-year-old pillow. See, you can laugh and learn.

上古时期，九族的九位大能齐力破天，却被天地之力所绞杀，而那一股股逆天之力却不为天地之力吸收形成了一座与世俗隔离的独特空间……

一室旖旎的春色，两具身子火热地交缠着。未婚夫亲自带人来看他设计的春宫秀。最后一张退婚书，理由是婚前失贞……就在她承受着众人鄙夷的目光中，他站了出来，对她说：“从今天开始，让我照顾你吧！”她的心在那一刻开始沉沦……她抬眸望着他，说：“愿得一心人，白首不相离，你能做到吗？”他缓缓抬头回眸望着她：“当我登上高位时，你会陪着我睥睨天下吗？”当他登上了皇位，身边有着三千佳丽，而她又站在哪里？里？大殿之上，高高在上的他竟走下那个位置，望着秀女群中的绝色女子朗声道：“凌语嫣留，册封为贵妃，赐住耀语殿。”陪着他睥睨天下的人不再是她……是谁说，三千弱水只取一瓢！然而确是一场精心策划的欺骗……为了皇位，他机关算尽地接近她，让她动了心，爱上了他……彻底地付出，得来的确是欺骗，这让她情何以堪？冷倾心：“难道在这场所谓的爱情中，我的角色就是棋子吗？你难道就从没动过心吗？”南宫耀：“接近你，本来就是这场计划中的开始，你是我登上皇位的捷径。语嫣才是我最爱的人，而你从一开始就是棋子。”棋子，真的只是一颗棋子存在吗？在这场爱情角逐中，受伤的到底是谁？是她，是他，还是她？*****************片段一：一袭紫色的精美锦袍，勾勒着男子修长的身子，一张俊美无俦的脸，冰冷孤傲的眸子散发着冷冽的寒芒，修长的手指捏住她的下颚：“你不是凌语嫣。”微眯着双眼打量着眼前的她，随后缓缓道：“你是南宫耀的皇后，冷倾心。”不是迟疑，而是肯定。强忍着下巴传来的痛楚，冷倾心望着眼前的男子，并没有否认自己的身份。“真是没想到，南宫耀为了语嫣竟然舍得将自己的皇后送给了我，真是舍得啊……”薄唇里吐出的嘲讽话语，深深刺痛了她的心。“不过，既然南宫耀舍得将你这个赝品送了过来，我虽不喜欢，但也不会浪费……”低沉的笑声传入她耳朵，宛若恶魔的嘲笑，冷冽的话语再度从那薄唇吐出，顿时将她打入地狱……“来人，这个女上赏给你们，让你们尝尝南朝皇后是什么样滋味……”******************片段二：断情崖上，他紧紧拉着悬崖边上的她，生怕她的坠落，狭长的眸子里充满了乞求：“不，不要放手，抓住我的手……”然而，手中的纤手还是缓缓抽离，她的身子以完美的孤线坠落，消失在他的视线里。
