I wish someone would yell at me that I need to do my reading. I nagged and pushed my baby bassets during break, and now, when school is in session, that they need to read. They always complain. “How long do I HAVE to read for?” If it were me, I would be snuggled on the couch under a blanket, reading all day. I saw a meme the other day that said, “Reading and taking naps used to be my punishment when I was a kid, now they are my goals.” This is all too true. My friend told me her son is sick in bed. I actually was thinking really hard if there was any chance the sickness could get passed on to me. My free ticket to naps and reading. Maybe even lose a few pounds. You would think there was an easier way, but there isn’t. Healthy people work hard and get things done.
Extinction Of All Children (Book 1)
by L.J. Epps
Genre: Teen & Young Adult | Horror | Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
A young adult, fantasy novel about a teenager who is the last eighteen-year-old in her territory. There will never be another child; every baby born after her has been taken away. Everyone wonders why she survived.
Emma Whisperer was born in 2080, in the small futuristic world of Craigluy. President Esther, in charge for the last twenty-two years, has divided their world into three territories, separated by classes — the rich, the working class, and the poor — because she believes the poor should not mingle with the others. And, the poor are no longer allowed to have children, since they do not have the means to take care of them.
Any babies born, accidentally or willfully, are killed. Emma is the last eighteen-year-old in her territory; every baby born after her has died. Somehow, she survived this fate.
During the president’s Monday night speech, she announces a party will be held to honor the last child in the territory, Emma Whisperer. Emma must read a speech, expressing how happy she is to be the last eighteen-year-old.
Emma doesn’t like the rules; she doesn’t believe in them. So, she feels she must rebel against them. Her family doesn’t agree with her rebellion, since they are hiding a big secret.
If this secret gets out, it will be disastrous, and deadly, for her family.
During Emma’s journey, she meets — and becomes friends with — Eric. He is one of the guards for the president. She also befriends Samuel, another guard for the president, who is summoned to watch over her. As Emma meets new people, she doesn’t know who she can trust. Yet, she finds herself falling for a guy, something which has never happened before.
After doing what she feels is right, Emma finds herself in imminent danger.
In the end, she must make one gut-wrenching decision, a decision that may be disastrous for them all.

A Short History of the World
by Christopher Lascelles
Genre: History | Nonfiction
FREE for a limited time
THE NEW YORK TIMES and AMAZON BEST-SELLER
There is an increasing realisation that our knowledge of world history – and how it all fits together – is far from perfect. A Short History of the World aims to fill the big gaps in our historical knowledge with a book that is easy to read and assumes little prior knowledge of past events.
The book does not aim to come up with groundbreaking new theories on why things occurred, but rather gives a broad overview of the generally accepted version of events so that non-historians will feel less ignorant when discussing the past.
While the book covers world history from the Big Bang to the present day, it principally covers key people, events and empires since the dawn of the first civilisations in around 3500 BC. To help readers put events, places and empires into context, the book includes 36 specially commissioned maps to accompany the text.
The result is a book that is reassuringly epic in scope but refreshingly short in length. An excellent place to start to bring your historical knowledge up to scratch. Once you have read this, you will never feel exposed again!
