Can Belly make a final choice between Jeremiah and Conrad?
Belly has only ever been in love with two boys, both with the last name Fisher. And after being with Jeremiah for the last two years, she’s almost positive he is her soul mate. Almost. While Conrad has not gotten over the mistake of letting Belly go, Jeremiah has always known that Belly is the girl for him. So when Belly and Jeremiah decide to make things forever, Conrad realizes that it’s now or never—tell Belly he loves her, or lose her for good.
Belly will have to confront her feelings for Jeremiah and Conrad and face the inevitable: She will have to break one of their hearts.

The Iliad can justly be called the world’s greatest war epic. The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns, the heroism and treachery of its combatants unmatched in song and story. Driven by fierce passions and loyalties, men and gods battle to a devastating conclusion.

Belly finds out what comes after falling in love in this follow-up to The Summer I Turned Pretty.
Can summer be truly summer without Cousins Beach?
It used to be that Belly counted the days until summer, until she was back at Cousins Beach with Conrad and Jeremiah. But not this year. Not after Susannah got sick again and Conrad stopped caring. Everything that was right and good has fallen apart, leaving Belly wishing summer would never come.
But when Jeremiah calls saying Conrad has disappeared, Belly knows what she must do to make things right again. And it can only happen back at the beach house, the three of them together, the way things used to be. If this summer really and truly is the last summer, it should end the way it started—at Cousins Beach.

The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants - rather than the BFG - she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

Some summers are just destined to be pretty.
Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one wonderful and terrible summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

Part One, The Fellowship of the Ring, introduces us to Frodo Baggins. With his uncle Bilbo having mysteriously disappeared, Frodo finds himself in possession of a simple gold ring that has great and evil power. It is the Ruling Ring, taken long ago from the Dark Lord, Sauron, who now seeks to possess it again. Frodo must do everything he can to prevent this, and with the help of Gandalf the wizard and a band of loyal companions he begins a perilous journey across Middle-earth. Sauron's Black Riders are on their trail as they travel to Rivendell, attempt to cross the snow-swept Misty Mountains and, in desperation, enter the terrifying Mines of Moria.

Like every other hobbit, Bilbo Baggins likes nothing better than a quiet evening in his snug hole in the ground, dining on a sumptuous dinner in front of a fire. But when a wandering wizard captivates him with tales of the unknown, Bilbo becomes restless. Soon he joins the wizard’s band of homeless dwarves in search of giant spiders, savage wolves, and other dangers. Bilbo quickly tires of the quest for adventure and longs for the security of his familiar home. But before he can return to his life of comfort, he must face the greatest threat of all—a treasure-troving dragon named Smaug.The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien

Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice.

Composed by the sage Valmiki, it is not just a tale of heroism and divine adventure, but a profound reflection on the complexities of dharma, the power of devotion, and the triumph of good over evil. Set in a world imbued with gods, demons, and the forces of nature, the Ramayana follows the journey of Lord Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, who embodies the virtues of righteousness, honor, and compassion. His exile into the forest, the abduction of his devoted wife, Sita, by the demon king Ravana, and the epic battle that ensues form the narrative’s core. Yet, within its grand scope, it is also a story of friendship, loyalty, and the resilience of the human spirit.

स्त्री-पुरुष के आधे-अधूरेपन की त्रासदी और उनके उलझावपूर्ण संबंधों की अबूझ पहेली को देखने-दिखानेवाले नाटक तो समकालीन भारतीय रंग-परिदृश्य में और भी हैं, लेकिन जहाँ तक सम्पूर्णता की अंतहीन तलाश की असह्य यातनापूर्ण परिणति तथा बुद्धि (मन-आत्मा) और देह के सनातन महत्ता-संघर्ष के परिणाम का प्रश्न है- गिरीश कारनाड का यह प्रसिद्ध कन्नड रंगमंच नाटक ‘हयवदन’, कई दृष्टियों से, निश्चय ही एक अनूठा नाट्य प्रयोग है। इसमें पारंपरिक अथवा लोक-नाट्य रूपों के कई जीवंत रंग-तत्वों का विरल रचनात्मक इस्तेमाल किया गया है। बेताल-पच्चीसी की सिरों और धड़ों की अदला-बदली की असमंजस-भरी प्राचीन कथा तथा Thomas Mann की ‘Transposed Heads’ की द्वंद्वपूर्ण आधुनिक कहानी पर आधारित यह नाटक जिस तरह देवदत्त, पद्मिनी और कपिल के प्रेम-त्रिकोण के समानान्तर हयवदन के उपाख्यान को गणेश-वंदना, भागवत, नट, अर्धपटी, अभिनटन, मुखौटे, गुड्डे-गुड़ियों और गीत-संगीत के माध्यम से एक लचीले रंग-शिल्प में पेश करता है, वह अपने-आप में केवल कन्नड़ नाट्य लेखन को ही नहीं, वरन् सम्पूर्ण आधुनिक भारतीय रंगकर्म की एक उल्लेखनीय उपलब्धि सिद्ध हुआ है। देवदत्त, कपिल, कपिलदेही देवदत्त तथा देवदत्तदेही कपिल-चार-चार पुरुषों के होते हुए भी अतृप्त एवं अधूरी और सुहागिन होकर भी अभागिन रह जाने वाली पद्मिनी इस नाट्य-कथा में विलक्षण प्रसंग, रोचक चरित्र, जटिल संबंध तथा रोमांचक नाट्य-मोड़ों के साथ-साथ दर्शन, मनोविज्ञान, हिंसा, हास्य, प्रेम और रहस्य के इतने और ऐसे आयाम मौजूद हैं, जो प्रत्येक प्रतिभावान रंगकर्मी को हमेशा नई चुनौतियों से चमत्कृत करते हैं। यह नाटक मानव जीवन के बुनियादी अंतर्विरोधों, संकटों और दबावों-तनावों को अत्यन्त नाटकीय एवं कल्पनाशील रूप में अभिव्यक्त करता है। प्रासंगिक-आकर्षक कथ्य और सम्मोहक शिल्प की प्रभावशाली संगति ही हयवदन की वह मूल विशेषता है जो प्रत्येक सृजन धर्मी और रंगकर्मी और बुद्धिजीवी पाठक को दुर्निवार शक्ति से अपनी ओर खींचती है।पिछले एक दशक में अनेक भाषाओं में कई निर्देशकों द्वारा सफलतापूर्वक अभिमंचित और राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर बहुप्रशंसित नाटक।

Five thousand years ago, there came to earth a magical being called Krishna, who brought about innumerable miracles for the good of mankind. Humanity despaired of its fate if the Blue God were to die but was reassured that he would return in a fresh avatar when needed in the eventual Dark Age - the Kaliyug.
In modern times, a poor little rich boy grows up believing that he is that final avatar.
Only, he is a serial killer.
In this heart-stopping tale, the arrival of a murderer who executes his gruesome and brilliantly thought-out schemes in the name of God is the first clue to a sinister conspiracy to expose an ancient secret - Krishna's priceless legacy to mankind.
Historian Ravi Mohan Saini must breathlessly dash from the submerged remains of Dwarka and the mysterious lingam of Somnath to the icy heights of Mount Kailash in a quest to discover the cryptic location of Krishna's most prized possession. From the sand-washed ruins of Kalibangan to a Vrindavan temple destroyed by Aurangzeb, Saini must also delve into antiquity to prevent a gross miscarriage of justice.
