E-books or printed books?
The choice between e-books and printed books ultimately depends on personal preference. E-books offer convenience and portability, allowing readers to carry multiple books in one device. They also often provide features like adjustable font size and built-in dictionaries. On the other hand, printed books offer a tactile and sensory experience that many readers enjoy, and they don't require a screen or battery. Some people also find it easier to retain information from printed books. Ultimately, both formats have their own advantages, and the decision between the two comes down to individual preferences and needs. **
Are books or e-books more sustainable?
Books are generally considered more sustainable than e-books. While e-books do not require physical materials like paper and ink, they have a significant environmental impact due to the energy and resources required to produce and dispose of electronic devices. Additionally, the production and disposal of e-readers contribute to electronic waste, which can be harmful to the environment. On the other hand, books can be made from sustainably sourced materials and are often recyclable. Therefore, in terms of sustainability, books are generally the more environmentally friendly option. **

Kate Description: Hate "Madison Kate Danvers was murdered tonight." Those words changed my life, and not for the better. They were wrong, of course. I wasn't dead. But I was set up. After being framed for a deadly riot, charged with a string of offences, and being made into an example by my politically minded father, I'm eventually released back into Shadow Grove. I could keep my head down, but I only have one thing on my mind. Hate. The boys who framed me are going to pay for derailing my carefully laid-out future. They're going to catch the full force of my revenge. Except when I arrive back in town, thanks to my father's shiny new girlfriend, I find all three of them living in my house, right down the hall. Archer, Kodiak, and Steele are secretive. Untrustworthy. Dangerous-and dangerously magnetic, too. But I'm not falling for their games. Not after what they did to me. Archer D'Ath and his boys messed with the wrong chick, and they're about to learn just how cold Madison Kate's hatred can run. Liar "Liar, liar, pants on fire."

That word haunts all four of us, but it haunts me the most. Someone knows more about my life than I do. Someone is taunting me with answers and teasing me with secrets. Am I desperate enough to fall for more deception? To fall deeper into this tangle of danger and heat? One thing is for sure: Archer and his boys made a huge mistake when they decided to keep me from the truth. They thought they could play me, but they're about to learn that they've met their match. No one stabs Madison Kate in the back and gets away with it. Fake "You'll always be mine." The latest taunt from my stalker reminded me I was nothing more than a possession to my father, to the Reapers, to Archer D'Ath. Even to Kody and Steele. Princess Danvers-the prize. His wife. Archer D'Ath's wife. I hate them. They lied to me. Over and over again. I knew they were lying, too, and I hate myself for letting it get this far. For falling for them despite what they did to me. For believing in the relationships I wanted so desperately to be real. Fake. It's all fake. And none of them will let me go. Archer and his boys think they control me. My stalker wants to possess me. I'm not an idiot-I know my newest allies are using me, too. That's fine. I'll use all of them. I'll use them to take back what's mine. My life. My freedom. My name. No one owns Madison Kate Danvers.

Kate Humble 4 Books Collection Set - Non-Fiction - Paperback Octopus Publishing GroupTitles in this set: 1. Thinking on My Feet 2. A Year of Living Simply 3. Friend for Life 4. Humble by Nature Description: Thinking on My Feet Thinking on My Feet tells the story of Kate’s walking year – shining a light on the benefits of this simple activity. Kate’s inspiring narrative not only records her walks (and runs) throughout a single year, but also charts her feelings and impressions throughout – capturing the perspectives that only a journey on foot allows – and shares the outcomes: a problem solved, a mood lifted, an idea or opportunity borne. As she explores the reasons why we walk, whether for creative energy, challenge and pleasure, or therapeutic benefits, Kate’s reflections and insights will encourage, motivate and spur readers into action. Also featured are Kate’s walks with others who have discovered the magical, soothing effect of putting one foot in front of the other – the artist who walks to find inspiration for his next painting; the man who takes people battling with addiction to climb mountains; the woman who walked every footpath in Wales (3,700 miles) when she discovered she had cancer. This book will inspire you to change your perspective by applying walking to your daily endeavours. A Year of Living Simply If there is one thing that most of us aspire to, it is, simply, to be happy. And yet attaining happiness has become, it appears, anything but simple. Having stuff – The Latest, The Newest, The Best Yet – is all too often peddled as the sure fire route to happiness. So why then, in our consumer-driven society, is depression, stress and anxiety ever more common, affecting every strata of society and every age, even, worryingly, the very young? Why is it, when we have so much, that many of us still feel we are missing something and the rush of pleasure when we buy something new turns so quickly into a feeling of emptiness, or purposelessness, or guilt? So what is the route to real, deep, long lasting happiness? Could it be that our lives have just become overly crowded, that we’ve lost sight of the things – the simple things – that give a sense of achievement, a feeling of joy or excitement? That make us happy. Do we need to take a step back, reprioritise? Do we need to make our lives more simple? Kate Humble’s fresh and frank exploration of a stripped-back approach to life is uplifting, engaging and inspiring – and will help us all find balance and happiness every day. Friend for Life ‘There is one animal that is familiar to all of us, whoever we are, wherever we live’ ‘Even if we’ve never had direct contact with one, we will have seen one, or at the very least, heard one. For those of us who live in the western world it is more than likely that one sleeps in our house, possibly even on our bed. I’m talking of course, of the dog. Yet, this animal, which lives alongside five hundred million of us all over the world – as an invaluable partner and a trusted confidant – presents us with one great unsolved mystery: how did...15,99 £*Shipping: 2,99 £Secure redirect to the provider

Kate Atkinson 3 Books Collection Set - Fiction - Paperback PenguinTitles in this set: 1. Behind The Scenes At The Museum 2. Emotionally Weird 3. Shrines of Gaiety Description: Behind The Scenes At The Museum Ruby Lennox was conceived grudgingly by Bunty and born while her father, George, was in the Dog and Hare in Doncaster telling a woman in an emerald dress and a D-cup that he wasn't married. Bunty had never wanted to marry George, but here she was, stuck in a flat above the pet shop in an ancient street beneath York Minster, with sensible and sardonic Patricia aged five, greedy cross-patch Gillian who refused to be ignored, and Ruby... Ruby tells the story of The Family, from the day at the end of the nineteenth century when a travelling French photographer catches frail beautiful Alice and her children, like flowers in amber, to the startling, witty, and memorable events of Ruby's own life. Emotionally Weird On a peat and heather island off the west coast of Scotland, Effie and her mother Nora take refuge in the large mouldering house of their ancestors and tell each other stories. Nora, at first, recounts nothing that Effie really wants to hear, like who her father was - variously Jimmy, Jack, or Ernie. Effie tells of her life at college in Dundee, where she lives in a lethargic relationship with Bob, a student who never goes to lectures, seldom gets out of bed, and to whom the Klingons are as real as the French and the Germans (more real than the Luxemburgers). But strange things are happening. Why is Effie being followed? Why is everyone writing novels? Is someone killing the old people? And where is the mysterious yellow dog? Shrines of Gaiety 1926, and in a country still recovering from the Great War, London has become the focus for a delirious new nightlife. In the clubs of Soho, peers of the realm rub shoulders with starlets, foreign dignitaries with gangsters, and girls sell dances for a shilling a time. At the heart of this glittering world is notorious Nellie Coker, ruthless but also ambitious to advance her six children, including the enigmatic eldest, Niven whose character has been forged in the crucible of the Somme. But success breeds enemies, and Nellie's empire faces threats from without and within. For beneath the dazzle of Soho's gaiety, there is a dark underbelly, a world in which it is all too easy to become lost. With her unique Dickensian flair, Kate Atkinson brings together a glittering cast of characters in a truly mesmeric novel that captures the uncertainty and mutability of life; of a world in which nothing is quite as it seems.28,97 £*Shipping: 2,99 £Secure redirect to the provider

Do you prefer e-books or physical books?
As an AI, I don't have personal preferences. However, some people prefer e-books for their convenience and portability, while others prefer physical books for the tactile experience and the ability to easily flip through pages. Both formats have their own advantages and it ultimately comes down to individual preference. **

E-Book or books?
It ultimately depends on personal preference. E-books offer convenience and portability, allowing readers to carry multiple books in one device. They also often provide features like adjustable font size and built-in dictionaries. On the other hand, physical books offer a tactile and sensory experience that many readers enjoy, and they can be a great way to disconnect from screens. Some people also find it easier to retain information from physical books. Ultimately, the choice between e-books and physical books comes down to individual reading habits and preferences. **

Are e-books abridged?
E-books can be either abridged or unabridged, just like physical books. Some e-books are published in their complete, original form, while others may be abridged versions that have been condensed or edited for various reasons. It's important for readers to check the description or details of an e-book to determine whether it is an abridged version or the full, original text. **
