Apparently I did not understand just how rude it is to take a chicken out of her coop once she has settled in for the night. To be fair though, it was only 5:30 pm, and I had a special treat for them. I felt bad that they have been stuck in the coop for so long and decided that a bag of crickets might cheer them up. Well, I was out a bit later than I thought I would be and by the time I got back it was already dark. No problem I thought. I would just turn the deck light on, put the crickets in a a large tote and put one lady at a time in with them for a wild game of GO GIT EM! While they of course chomped all the crickets, in between chomps they had a few choice clucks for me. Getting cursed out by a chicken is a whole other experience. They have clucked at me a few times angry that I stayed away too long, but these clucks were different. They were M..A..D. Wow…I won’t make that mistake again. I have a few left over crickets. I will try to make peace this morning.
Schisms (Red World Trilogy Book 1)
V. A. Jeffrey
(6 Reviews)
Genre: Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
A queen in peril. An outsider priest. A young girl who dreams of adventure. An ancient prophecy has reappeared, one that promises the people deliverance from the rot of corruption that permeates the land. However, there are those who have no need of “savior prophecies” which get in the way of the more pragmatic concerns of acquiring power. The ancient capital, Assenna, has been in ruins for ages and the line of divine red kings that ruled from it are nearly forgotten. It was foretold that the blood of this kingly line would rule the land and raise it up to its former glory. The Ainash priesthood, a ruthless faction in the city of Jhis have fallen in power after a barbarian warrior has conquered the land. They have not forgotten this slight and like vultures carefully look for any weakness in the court to exploit and engineer his downfall. But even among the Ainash priesthood, there are plots within plots. Under the barbarian’s rule Hybron has once again been reunited under one power. Is he the future Red King of prophecy? As the kingdom remains embroiled in corruption and violence under his rulership it is doubtful and his queen, a devout woman of the Aishanna-La has borne him no heirs. As the queen throws herself toward the apex of a dangerous political conflict her decisions will have long-reaching effects on the fate of the kingdom – and her own. Ilim, an Ainash priest, is thrown out of the Golden Temple. He has a prophetic dream and a divine commission and he believes this new spiritual path will lead him to the answer that will save the kingdom. It leads him, not to a great warrior and a holy army, but to a feisty little girl in the fortress town of Gamina. Plots and betrayals abound. Visions are dangerous, paths are perilous and prophecy seems improbable. All are caught in the river of Destiny and Purpose. Some will rise and others will drown. Who will triumph?

HAPPILY EVER BEFORE
Aimee Pitta
(293 Reviews)
Genre: Women’s Fiction | Contemporary Fiction | Health, Fitness & Dieting
FREE for a limited time
Two sisters, one drunken pact and a choice that changes their lives forever.
HAPPILY EVER BEFORE is best described as the comedic literary love child of the hit film’s Bridesmaids and Baby Mama. It is the story of two sisters, who while watching a Lifetime movie marathon (of course!) make a drunken pact that has more unconventional consequences than anything Lifetime could program. HAPPILY EVER BEFORE, a fractured fairytale, tells the story of Grace, the free spirit older sister, who promises Clair, her wound-too-tight younger sister, that she’d have her baby, should the need ever arise. But she certainly never thought she’d have to “deliver”. Now everyone, from Clair’s WASP-y in-laws to Diane, Grace and Clair’s mom, who has put her own life on hold, to Clair’s husband, Henry, who has a compulsive need to give Grace bizarre and overly personal pregnancy gifts, to George, Grace’s best friend who now needs to find a new drinking buddy, are dealing with situations they never dreamed of. As the sisters are faced with hormonal surges, new romances, and a calcium enriched diet, they are forced to navigate this new family dynamic and test their sisterly love in ways that keep the reader laughing out loud.
