The rain is coming down so hard right now I am not sure I can take my kids to school in this. Yesterday everything was filled with water. Just everything. It was crazy! Water Water Water. The ducks seemed to be enjoying it though. I saw so many of them partying it up. Normally they only have certain small areas to hang out, but now the county has turned into Waterworld, so they can swim just about anywhere they want. It’s kinda miserable for the rest of us, but it’s nice to see the ducks so happy. I would also like to note that the movie Waterworld with Kevin Costner was a fun movie. I really liked it. I wish people wouldn’t be so hard on it. FOR GOSH SAKES… IT WAS THE 90’S.

Loving the Ladies’ Man: A Sweet Romantic Comedy (California Dreamin’ Book 1)
by Kristin Canary
(861 Reviews)
Genre: Romance | Literature & Fiction | Humor & Entertainment
FREE for a limited time
Connor is the last guy in the world I should fall for.
He’s the resident office flirt. I’m the quirky Pride & Prejudice-loving editor who uses big words and dresses like the world’s non-sexiest librarian.
We have nothing in common.
And we’re competitors for the same job.
Game on, right? May the best person win and all that? Fine by me. I’m happy to hold him at arms’ length forever.
And considering I’m practically the only woman in the office he’s never flirted with, he’s obviously happy to do the same.
But when we’re stuck overnight in our office building thanks to an earthquake-induced landslide (don’t worry, we’re totally fine), things between us start to change.
I begin to realize that Connor isn’t actually the jerk I thought he was–the kind who leads women on, just like my ex.
And when he offers to attend my ex’s wedding as my fake boyfriend, things get even more interesting. Especially when he gives me that much-too-chaste kiss…
But I can’t fall for him. That would be repeating the same mistake, just with a different guy.
Tell that to my dumb heart, though–the one that seems to think Connor Bryant is my Mr. Darcy.
Fans of Sarah Adams will love this closed-door romantic comedy with lots of sizzle and spice, but no on-page explicit content.

The Octopus: A Story of California
by Frank Norris
(94 Reviews)
Genre: Political | Classics
FREE for a limited time
From the author of McTeague: The classic novel of corporate corruption and violent rebellion in the railroad industry.
On May 11, 1880, at a San Joaquin Valley ranch, a shootout between tenant farmers and a sheriff’s posse left seven dead. The dispute was over land rights. The law was acting in the service of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
This tragedy marked the beginning of the end for the American frontier, and it became the inspiration for Frank Norris’s epic tale of wheat croppers struggling against the tightening grip of the railroad industry.
With a cast of characters ranging from poor hired hands to wealthy landowners and railroad barons, Norris’s novel goes beyond its central conflict to chronicle the myriad political and social issues that rippled out from it. The first work in Norris’s planned Epic of the Wheat Trilogy, The Octopus was an important exposé of railroad greed that drew comparisons to Émile Zola for its incredible breadth. It is a great read for fans of gritty, historically inspired western series such as Deadwood or Hell on Wheels.
