Best friends since they were teenagers, Ward Kent and Dean Zimmerman work together at Reggie’s garage, where the reality show Wrench Wars is filmed. Outside of work, Dean is a notorious player, and as far as he’s concerned, Ward’s the best wingman ever. Little does he know, Ward is much more interested in the gentlemen than the ladies.

Then Dean’s younger brother, Ash, comes to work at the garage. Ash may be seven years younger, but he’s had a crush on Ward for years, and he’s not shy about going after what he wants.

Admitting his best friend and his brother are gay is one thing. Seeing them together? That’s a bit more than Dean can take, and he’s about to force Ward to make a decision: lose his best friend and his job, or give up Ash forever.

When Reggie’s garage became part of a popular reality show, business went through the roof. And he supposes having his shop in the black is a fair trade for jumping through the network’s hoops.

As the show’s lowest-ranking producer, Wes is tasked with proposing a new spin-off show to Reggie. The sexy mechanic makes him sweat on a normal day, but this time, Wes is holding cards he can’t show. With execs breathing down his neck, he’s expected to pitch a show Reggie will never agree to do, even if his rejection puts his existing show on the line.

The network is counting on Reggie refusing to sign. But they’re not counting on their messenger falling for the man they’re trying to fire.

What is “normal”?

When Brandon Kenner shows up at Kasey Ralston’s garage with a 1970 Chevelle SS 454, Kasey is smitten by both the man and his car. But Kasey is hiding an embarrassing secret: his love for old muscle cars goes beyond what most would consider normal. His unusual fetish has kept Kasey isolated—estranged from his family and even distant from his coworkers.

But when Brandon figures out the hot mechanic’s secret, he’s not repulsed. In fact, he finds Kasey intriguing, and he’s determined to have him for himself.

Everything about Brandon revs Kasey’s engine, and he’s more than willing to get down and dirty with the charming man. What worries Kasey is what will happen after. Is there any chance of a future for them? In the past, expecting anything long-term has only led to heartbreak. But Kasey can’t help hoping that, despite Kasey’s fetish, Brandon will be the exception

Everyone at Jim Irving’s garage is gung ho about Wrench Wars, a new reality show featuring mechanics. Everyone, that is, except talented mechanic Chandler Scott, the sole employee who has refused to sign the contract. The rest of the mechanics are pressuring him too, because without Chandler—and his volatile interactions with his boss—no one’s getting on the show.

Chandler’s one ally is Jim’s son, Mark, who’s being forced to work for his dad until he pays down his student loans or finds a better job—and who’s been Chandler’s secret lover for a while.

Then a playful tryst in the garage blows up in their faces, giving the network ammo to blackmail Chandler by threatening to out Mark to his father. Now Chandler is backed into a corner, and Mark needs to decide how far he’s willing to go to protect the man who’s been sharing his bed… and may have stolen his Heart.

"Jeg tager mit første åndedræt og kommer vaklende på benene. Den iskolde januarvind giver mig gåsehud. Det er første gang i to år, at jeg er menneske. Og jeg hader det allerede." 

Vanja begik selvmord for to år siden ved at kaste sig i havet. Nu er hun tvunget tilbage til livet sammen med seks andre, der også tog deres eget liv. Men hvordan vender man tilbage til den verden, man forlod? Og vil døden nogensinde slippe sit tag i Vanja og de andre?

En virkelig god bog der tager det meget alvorlige emne op på en anderledes måde. At tage selvmord op gennem selkie myten gjorde noget anderledes. Jeg følte virkelig med personerne. De der fravalgte livet igen og de der valgte livet til. Bogen er fri for fordømmelse af de forskellige valg som personerne har gjort og gør. Man kommer til at forstå dem alle

Helle Anja Janning var en gudsbenådet slagter. Hun kunne lægge et snit til en svineskank, som var det en finere kunstart, og hun drømte om at erobre hele verden med sine evner, så hun kunne give sin datter, Michelle, et godt liv. Men så gik det galt. Helle er i dag arbejdsløs, Michelle er i vrede over sin mors svage karakter flyttet hjemmefra, fogeden banker på, og Helle skal i endnu en trist jobaktivering – denne gang på Nykøbing F. Sygehus.

Helle står foran akutmodtagelsen, da ambulancerne pludselig vælter ind, og i tumulten bliver hun forvekslet med den sygemeldte polske turnuslæge Natalia Nowak. Nu er spørgsmålet: Hvad gør man, når man er faret vild i sit eget liv, og man pludselig får chancen for at blive en anden?

Rigtig rigtig sjov bog, som samtidig har noget på hjertet

The year is 1969…

Gary Fairchild is proud to be a hippie college student, and he protests the Vietnam War because he believes in love and peace. To him, it isn’t just a counterculture movement—it’s a way of life. When tickets to the Aquarium Exposition—3 Days of Peace & Music, or Woodstock, as it was better known, go on sale, there’s no way he isn’t going.

Richard Ronsman is a sheltered farm boy who lives in the shadow of his overbearing father. He’s hidden his darkest secret to earn his father’s love, but nothing is ever good enough—not even volunteering for the Vietnam War. And with just a few days left before he’s deployed, he’s invited by a striking hippie to join him at a music festival.

Three days of music, drugs, rain, mud, and love forged a bond between these two very different men that would shape the rest of their lives. They share dreams and fears, and when Richard is shipped off to war, they share letters and love. For Richard’s first Christmas home, he is gifted a special angel ornament that just might make a soldier’s wish come true.
