SOME PLACE LIKE HOME

A Wizard of Oz retelling, only with muscle cars, a cool playlist, and a one-eyed Pitbull.Eighteen-year-old Ruby Nightingale is not happy. It's 1978, and small-town life in Echo Falls is suffocating. Living with her Uncle Emmett and Uncle Hank is even more so. They're both forty-five going on ninety, and they refuse to let her grow up. But Ruby has a plan. She's going to graduate, withdraw her savings, and get out of Dodge in search of something better.With Otto, her pussycat-of-a-pit bull, riding shotgun, Ruby sets out in a 1969 Mercury Cyclone only to discover that the highway ahead contains more twists and turns than a prairie tornado. What starts out as a straightforward dash across the province quickly turns into something else altogether, thanks to three unexpected travelling companions. There's Lucy Bright, a 19-year-old woman raised in a religious cult; Oliver Hartman, a heavy metal musician whose music lacks heart; and Cleo Lyons, a street-smart girl who is secretly afraid of becoming her authentic self. Throw in a pair of highly coveted red Chuck Taylor Converse sneakers and a deranged pair of twins, and Ruby is in for the ride of a lifetime.When she eventually finds herself on BC's Vancouver Island, at the Emerald Isle Retreat-a spiritual retreat run by Oswald Wise, a well-known spiritual teacher--Ruby is finally forced to reevaluate her definition of place and, more importantly, "home."Some Place Like Home is a novel loosely based on the age-old classic, The Wizard of Oz. It is the story of a girl who finds what she is looking for in the most unlikely of places and learns a little something about friendship and authenticity along the way.

I Kneel to No One

I said..." the golden stranger spat, "KNEEEEL!" he roared, banging his stick on the ground and creating a huge blue flash. All around me, people froze in place, and started... kneeling? Even the ones that didn't speak English kneeled obediently. Why are you listening to this psycho? I looked around frantically, praying not to be the only one left standing. Because I refuse to kneel to some scary jerk with a big stick! No way!Oh crap, I was the only one left standing. I looked around nervously. What am I doing? I spotted Cath giving me a terrified look like, Get down here right now, you idiot! But I refused to back down.Okay, no other option. Time to be a stupid teen, I thought frantically. "No," I said quietly, my eyes wide and muscles tense. I tried to suppress my scared tone, but I had a feeling I didn't sound very brave. I'm so dead I'm so dead!The man's eyes speared into my gut. I couldn't stop myself from trembling, but I tried desperately not to make it too obvious. "What?" he hissed with enough venom in his tone to scare a rattlesnake. Tears collected in the corner of my eyes, and a cold feeling started to make its way through my stomach and hands. "I. Said. No," I managed to get out. His eyes narrowed. A jolt of terror ran through me. What's he going to do? Slowly, like a lion that cornered its prey, he stepped towards me. The voices in my head rose to a crescendo, warring in my brain as he reached a pale, long-fingered hand for my head. I tried to run, to scream, to hit him, to do anything to stop him from doing whatever he was about to do, but my body was petrified by the tendrils of terror running through it. He smirked, causing a sickening burst of fear to rush to my head. What is he doing WHAT IS HE DOING-?Then he pressed his hand to my forehead and a green light flared where his skin met mine. I had just enough time to look at him like Are you crazy? before the world went black.

Silent Heroes: Wildcat

"What the hell?"I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose.But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born.My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat.I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath.My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.

Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s

Once she opened her eyes, Si Nian became the fake wealthy daughter straight out of a period drama, only to be sent back to the countryside to marry a divorced man in place of the real wealthy daughter, and on top of that, she had to raise a bunch of brats.Not only that, she also ran into the reincarnated real wealthy daughter.In her previous life, Lin Si Si was pressured by her family to marry an older divorced man who treated her coldly and indifferently. Meanwhile, Si Nian, who stole her wealthy daughter status, married a military officer and lived a sweet and happy life.In her second chance at life, she was determined to steal Si Nian's military officer husband and make her taste the bitterness she had endured. But the real wealthy daughter's plans didn't go as expected.Instead, Si Nian stayed by the side of the older man, amassed a fortune of billions, and her children flourished.When she was brought before the older man, Si Nian was not at all flustered:"This is the man who would rather help others raise children and adamantly refuses to have his own."While others avoided him, Si Nian's eyes lit up:"Firstly, being a mother is a noble act, and secondly, I will be a great stepmother."Years later, after the real wealthy daughter dealt with the military officer's illegitimate child and was robbed of her inheritance, she found herself in unbearable misery. She thought to herself, even if it's not ideal, it's still better than how Si Nian is living. Having children or not, raising others' children - what's the difference from being a nanny?But one day, that terrifyingly cold and fierce wealthy man, who was now tenderly supporting the pregnant Si Nian out of the car, cradled her in his hands with such affection that it was beyond measure.Si Nian angrily pulled the man's hair, "Didn't you say you didn't want children!"The older man gently kissed her hand, "Wife, I was wrong. I'll consider having one next time."

First Love is a Sandwich Candy (MTL)

*WARNING!! a machine translation novel. So don't come at me about a bad grammar*Original Title : 初恋是颗夹心糖Author : 团子不乖 (Dumplings are not good) Status : Completed (299 chapters)Copywriter :[Pretending to be a sweet girl vs. school bully] Lu Xiao always thought his wife was a little soft girl who would be scared and cry when she heard thunder. Until one day, I saw his young wife, who was weak and bullied, stepped on the school sister's face, and said: "Dare you dare to soak my man at this point? Four streets in the southeast and northwest. Ask me who is the father." On the day Lu Xiao won the world championship, a reporter interviewed: "Shen God, your early marriage in early years is still unacceptable to many fans today, your wife, she must be excellent?" Dan: "I like her to have nothing to do with her being excellent or not, but she is stupid, I just go blind." [The male lead is a Jedi survival anchor, the main tone is still in love, all the way to sugar, not playing games or affecting reading! 】***Search "chinese sandwich candy" and you'll guess what the novel is about...Well kidding lol. Story is more on a funny side rather than sweet sweet story enough giving you diabetes. It's full of a lighthearted comedy. MC and ML interaction is really funny. But my favorite is MC's father shenanigan lol. This really a balance of rom-com which rarely i find out there.

Electronic Death Music (EDM: Harmonic Wasteland)

The world was in shambles. Natural resources were scarce. Poverty, unemployment, and disease are rampant throughout the world. It is affected by the ubiquity of the technological scourge.All manual labor is performed by incessant iron muscles. Technology is the only source of employment and economic wellbeing for the modern world. Artificial intelligence is well developed, leading to the prevalence of automatons within our communities. These automatons have replaced their human counterparts not only within the manual labor market but also within careers requiring technical knowledge. Even skills that required the inventiveness and innovation of the human mind are replaced by the unrelenting efficiency of artificial intelligence.The over-supply of metallic citizens and the stagnant state of global economy made humans to ignore the arts. A dearth of trees due to over-pollution caused a scarcity of many musical instruments like pianos, guitars, flutes, and harps. The automatons have perfected only the soothing of the cerebral cortex with zirkanium levers and buttons. Their brand of music appeals to the areas in the brain associated with primitive instincts and pleasure. There is nothing intellectual about the automaton's melodic creation because it lacks the necessary human element. Homo sapiens are not perfect but they do create imperfectly. No music exists in this world, only Electronic Death Music.

I Aᴄᴄɪᴅᴇɴᴛᴀʟʟʏ Fᴀɴɢɪʀʟ Oᴠᴇʀ Mʏ Pʀᴇ-Aʟɢᴇʙʀᴀ Tᴇᴀᴄʜᴇʀ(I Accidentally Fangirl Over My Pre-Algebra Teacher)Look, I didn't want to be a fangirl. If you're reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is, close this book right now. Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your books just being books, and try to lead a normal life. Being a fangirl is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time it kills you in very emotional ways. If you're a normal kid, reading this because you think it's fake, read on. I envy you for being able to believe that books are just books and nothing more. But if you recognize yourself in these pages-if you feel your heart racing, eyes widening, muscles tightening, and high-pitched squeals uncontrollably escaping your mouth- stop reading immediately. You might be one of us. And once you know that, it's only a matter of time before they sense it, too, and they'll avoid you. Don't say I didn't warn you.
