Win Signed Copies of No Vain Loss

mcfrankauthor:



Exciting announcement, everyone!
imageI’m giving away a few signed paperback copies of No Vain Loss, my science fiction novel about a world where Christmas doesn’t exists and kissing is forbidden.

Synopsis:


A soldier is summoned to the North Pole, days before the year changes, told to fix the great Clock for a celebration. He has no idea what to do.
A girl, hunted for the crime of being born, almost dies out on the ice. She is rescued by the last polar bear left alive.
A library waits for them both, a library built over a span of a hundred years, forgotten in the basement of an ice shack.
The world hasn’t known hunger or sickness in hundreds of years. It has also forgotten love and beauty.
This is the One World.
The year is 2524.


Inspired by the short stories of Ray Bradbury, this futuristic young adult novel in three parts is set in a world where Christmas -among other things- is obsolete and a Clock is what keeps the fragile balance of peace.

Written in three parts, this is the breathtaking story of how two unlikely people change the world, and each other, one book at a time. 



In No Vain Loss, the world is on the brink of the greatest war humanity has ever known. Lives will be lost. New truths will be revealed.

Repost @tea.books.lover ❤ Lose me is this amazing NA book, set on a beautiful Greek island. The half-Greek stunt girl - Ari - gets her first serious job in the modern adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, and she meets a hot British actor on set. But Ari knows something Wes doesn’t. Can they overcome all difficulties and differences between them and be happy?

_

I recommend you this book with all my heart! @mcfrank_author is a wonderful writer, you won’t be disappointed!

spikenards:

i love that harry goes to the owlery to hang out with hedwig… the boy is so sweet? owls don’t really seem to be treated like pets by wizarding society as a whole - they don’t live in the dorms like cats / rats / toads do, etc - and so like its just. hjp hangs out with his wizard email address because he is a sweet and gentle boy.
