How long, exactly, had June been coming to Moonie's for the sole purpose of pining after the bartender?Long enough to know, probably, that there was no good reason for Mal Edwards, a bastion of stability and good sense, to see any kind of future with June anyway. Was it even fair to express feelings to a woman like that when June was barely around, on the road more than she wasn't?But as another Pride weekend approaches, June's fiftieth birthday and the eventual end of her long-haul trucking days loom in her mind, nestled against the memories of Moonie's nights gone by where it felt like June and Mal came close-close to something happening, something real. Until June would inevitably chicken out, and retreat once again to life on the road.It's time for June to finally figure out her next act. And if she's not brave enough to ask Mal Edwards to be part of it, she doesn't deserve her, anyway.After all. If you can't tell a butch you love her during Pride, when the hell can you?

This book offers a fresh, critical history of the 1917 campaign in Flanders. Drawing on a rich array of sources, Warren provides a vivid account of two tragically mismanaged battles, showing that Cambrai further underlined what went wrong for British forces at Passchendaele and thus more fully explains the course of events on the Western front.

Restless and disillusioned with his life, Aiden McCarstle is ready for a night out at The Moonlight Café with his best friend Penelope: one night to not think about how much he hates grad school, to watch queer people make fools of themselves singing karaoke. A simple, reliable escape.But when it's not Penelope who walks through the door at Moonie's, but the high school nemesis Aiden hasn't seen in five years-well, things get a little more complicated.For Kai Andrews, moving back home after his mother's death has been harder and lonelier than he anticipated. And running into McCarstle again hadn't been in his plans, either. But he deserves a night out, away from responsibilities and grief. Sure, it appears McCarstle still hates his guts, for reasons Kai has never quite understood. But maybe, with a decent dose of pop music and Moonie's magic, Kai can finally, finally make Aiden smile. Just this once. Just for tonight.As a surprising, intimate night at Moonie's brings Aiden and Kai closer together, a winter storm moves in. And what was meant to be a simple night out turns into over 24 hours of being snowed in together. Through confessions, memories, and favorite poems, Aiden and Kai have to figure out if this unexpected second chance at connection was merely a temporary interlude-or if they can each come out better on the other side of the storm.

A hilarious and heart-warming queer rom-com about the first openly non-binary contestant on a cooking show who becomes distracted by their beautiful, clumsy competitor.

Viele Wege führen zum Glück – und einige davon über den Pacific Crest Trail Alexei hat sich für seine Wanderung des Pacific Crest Trail auf scheinbar alles vorbereitet: Wilde Tiere, gefährliche Aufstiege, Blasen und monatelange Einsamkeit sind kein Problem für ihn. Womit er allerdings nicht gerechnet hat, ist Ben – ein attraktiver, kontaktfreudiger und lebenslustiger Fremder, den er gleich am ersten Tag vor einer Klapperschlange retten muss. Irgendwie treffen die beiden auf einem immerhin 2500 Meilen langen Wanderweg immer wieder aufeinander. Es könnte Zufall sein, doch andererseits gibt es vielleicht einen Grund, warum der Weg sie immer wieder zusammenbringt ... Als sich die Wanderung dem Ende nähert, müssen sich Ben und Alexei fragen, ob es möglich ist, an etwas so Wildem und Wunderbarem wie der Beziehung, die sich zwischen ihnen entwickelt, festzuhalten.
