What You Make of Me by Sophie Madeline Dess (.ePUB)
📮 What You Make of Me by Sophie Madeline Dess (.ePUB) In this mesmerizing debut from a bright new talent, two enigmatic and unforgettable siblings confront what – and who – they’re willing to sacrifice for their art On the eve of her first solo show, Ava is feeling defiant. The art gallery acolytes have insisted on writing “explanations” of her paintings for an accompanying catalog, but what do they know of her work? What do they know of her brother, Demetri, whose face echoes across every canvas? After all, Ava and Demetri have only ever had each other. Abandoned first by their mother, who drowned in the Long Island Sound, and then again by their father, who couldn’t see beyond his grief, each sibling has always been the other’s most ardent supporter: Demetri encouraged Ava’s raw talent as a painter, while Ava pushed Demetri to pursue filmmaking. But as they make their way in New York, the codependency that once sustained them soon threatens to be their undoing. Betrayals mount, fueled by Ava’s reckless acts and her disdain for Demetri’s last-ditch efforts to make something of consequence, but what ultimately and irreversibly tips the scales won’t be found on canvas or film. Because now, at thirty-one, Demetri is dying. As Ava reckons with the meaning of her portraits, what soon emerges from her intimate, offhanded, and mischievous meditations is a stunning and unsettling confession of secrets, epiphanies, rivalry, and infidelity. Vaulting between childhood and the days leading up to Demetri’s death, here is a searing portrait of two remarkable siblings reckoning with the limits of loyalty. Heralding the arrival of an impressive new talent,What You Make of Melays bare the thin line between success and sacrifice. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Sophie Madeline Dess Size 1.2MB Category Fiction > General/Classics File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/BpVqAKmwdfRX https://devuploads.com/fpp23oado2iw

A newcomer to both the team and the town, Reuben is seen as the oddball outsider by his teammates and the curious, often opinionated locals. So, when he puts an “art” installation in his backyard that sets off a firestorm in the community, people demand answers about what it means. But Reuben, always more inclined to let others call the shots, keeps his motivations to himself. That is, until his inaction raises an ominous threat to the people around him. And in the real world, as with softball, when the bases are loaded and your teammates are counting on you, it’s time to step up to the plate — even if for Reuben, there’s a real possibility of striking out.

Fundamentally by Nussaibah Younis (.ePUB)
📮 Fundamentally by Nussaibah Younis (.ePUB) A wickedly funny and audacious debut novel following an academic who flees from heartbreak and lands in Iraq with a one-of-a-kind job offer—only to be forced to do the work of confronting herself. When Dr. Nadia Amin, a long-suffering academic, publishes an article on the possibility of rehabilitating ISIS brides, the United Nations comes calling, offering an opportunity to lead a deradicalization program for the ISIS-affiliated women held in Iraqi refugee camps. Looking for a way out of London after a painful, unexpected breakup, Nadia leaps at the chance. In Iraq, Nadia quickly realizes she’s in over her head. Her direct reports are hostile and unenthused about taking orders from an obvious UN novice, and the murmurs of deradicalization being inherently unethical and possibly illegal threaten to end Nadia’s UN career before it even begins. Frustrated by her situation and the unrelenting heat, Nadia decides to visit the camp with her sullen team, composed of Goody Two-shoes Sherri who never passes up an opportunity to remind Nadia of her objections; and Pierre, a snippy Frenchman who has no qualms about perpetually scrolling through Grindr. At the camp, Nadia meets Sara, one of the younger refugees, whose accent immediately gives her away as a fellow East Londoner. From their first interaction, Nadia feels inexplicably drawn to the rude girl in the diamanté headscarf. She leaves the camp determined to get Sara home. But the system Nadia finds herself trapped in is a quagmire of inaction and corruption. One accomplishment barely makes a dent in Nadia’s ultimate goal of freeing Sara . . . and the other women, too, of course. And so, Nadia makes an impossible decision leading to ramifications she could have never imagined. A triumph of dark humor,Fundamentallyasks bold questions: Who can tell someone what to believe?

As Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Ayatollah Khamenei wreaked havoc on the world stage, mavericks within the U.S. government built a fearsome new arsenal of economic weapons, exploiting America’s dominance in global finance and technology.

Once verified, their identity collapses into a single truth--eliminating any risk of impersonation or fraud. This book demonstrates how Digital IDs transform the very foundation of network security. Unlike conventional methods, where user identity is indirectly represented through data, this model ties a user's existence directly to their Digital ID. By securing user presence--and absence--this new authentication model offers unparalleled protection from unauthorized access and common cyber threats like stolen credentials or malicious impersonation. This book is written primarily for cybersecurity professionals such as CISOs, CTOs, CIOs, network architects, and IT security managers. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Christopher Murphy Size 14.0MB Category Non-Fiction > Tech & Devices File Type PDF 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/tRc9c2ZJ3qYr https://devuploads.com/ex7k6h1kqbja

Wicked with Him:1. Wicked with Him: Scandals rarely take place in the center of the ballroom, but on the fringes anything is possible. From the moment George Sweet stole his intended, Roman Crawford has pursued every possible manner of revenge against the nasty scrub. Though he does have his limits. Debauching Sweet’s sister, a veritable paragon of vestal goodness, is beyond the pale—yet that is exactly what the lady herself requests. Roman isn’t willing or able to refuse when Amity Sweet quite literally begs him to participate in her ruin. But instead of a shy, virtuous flower, Roman finds himself in the arms of a wickedly passionate beauty…who disappears from Town immediately after their tryst. 2. Desperately Seeking Seduction:2. Desperately Seeking Seduction: Born female, but living the whole of her life as a male, Dane Winston has stumbled into the employ of Lord Stratford, youngest brother of the Duke of Ravenswood. As his valet, she can barely keep the chatty lord on schedule…nor can she keep his hands off her person, once he discovers her true gender. The only thing more surprising than his attention is how much Winston enjoys it. But their dalliance must be short-lived. As she navigates a house party where certain guests are keen to cause trouble for the duke, she discovers trouble of her own in the form of jealous servants…and someone from her past she hoped never to meet again. 3. Love and Other Disasters:3. Love and Other Disasters: Lord Jasper Sweet, the often overlooked third son of a duke, is used to disappointment, and learned to rely on no one but himself. Forced to endure a summer at his family's estate, he’s planning a little party to pass the time and refill his empty pockets. But his nephew’s and their prickly governess, Sophie Radcliffe, remain at the estate too, and he’s expecting vast disapproval. He never imagined he’d need the governess’ help—and not just because someone left an infant screaming on his bed. Sophie prefers to keep a distance from her employer’s rakish brother because it’s clear he doesn’t like her. But with one glimpse of the shoddy way he’s running his secret, scandalous house party—and the child screaming on his bed—it’s clear he needs her expertise for both. Sophie never meant to trust another rake with her reputation or the secrets of her past, but Jasper has snuck under her defenses and could steal her heart—if he ever saw her as more than a means to a scandalous end. 4. Surrender Becomes Her:4. Surrender Becomes Her: Starting over is never easy but letting her go might prove impossible for this pair. After disappearing nearly two years ago, Lady Laura Sweet has returned to Ravenswood Palace, home of her estranged husband.

Laura has only come home to demand a divorce from her husband, but his brother, the new Duke of Ravenswood, is determined to make things difficult and demands they thrash out the failures of their marriage for his benefit. Nash Sweet spent years under the thumb of his cruel, evil father. Even in death, the man is proving hard to shake, and Nash is only now discovering all the ways the old duke interfered in his marital affairs. But that doesn’t mean he forgives his wife for abandoning their sons and forsaking their marriage—especially when she returns bearing an infant daughter he knew nothing about! Nash is equally willing to discuss divorce, but with proximity comes the resurrection of old feelings…and perhaps some new ones he was not prepared for. 📥 Download Links: Books 1-2: https://uploda.sh/1x8mdOjP42Z2 https://devuploads.com/zdjs6d1zad02 3.

Pornography by Andrea Dworkin (.ePUB)
📮 Pornography by Andrea Dworkin (.ePUB) Andrea Dworkin's 1981 critique of pornography is an important and urgent document about how the culture consumes and manipulates images of women. Essential and discomfiting reading in a social media era, where women's bodies are being commodified and displayed more than ever. Andrea Dworkin's seminal 1981 work on the issue of pornography argues that the industry serves only to harm and oppress women. Her discussion of pornography as an outgrowth of the power that men exert over women—the power of owning, the power of money, and the power of sex, among others—still blazes with its clarity and immediacy, and illustrates how these inequities, while displayed in raw form in pornography, are endemic in all media. With a lively and deeply compelling voice, Andrea Dworkin succinctly outlines her anti-pornography stance. Though the media environment may have changed, this passionately and powerfully argued classic remains a relevant and crucial contribution to the area of feminist studies. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Andrea Dworkin Size 800KB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/CDDJBjDaOr18 https://devuploads.com/6ntwd3yqlglm
