I have never been in a store so big and with so many books even magazines and music and toys and all kinds of stuff. I will be back and I just can’t wait to see new books that come in. a great store and wonderful staff. I can even bring in books to get half off. What a deal. Thanks Terry T.
Anytime I am in Florida I have to visit this store. So many treasures just waiting to be found. Its a family owned business with so much selection. I also really enjoy the no cell phone policy, its nice to walk through and browse without hearing electronic games going off and overall distracted people texting and talking. What a find, if your nearby or even passing through…, you should certainly go in and say hello, you never know what you may find and the staff is very helpful!
Hello, I was wondering if you have book Dead as a Doornail (Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire Series #5) and maybe 6?
Hi Sarah! Sorry for the Delayed response, Yes, we Do Have Dead as a Doornail (Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire Series) (and MANY others in the series) Have you been to our store? Are you local? If not feel free to call us at 407-339-8200 and we can charge over the phone and ship to you. Thank you for inquiring and we hope to hear from you soon =)
Awesome book store. They have a very wide selection of books, movies, and music, and they add new items constantly. I visit the store regularly to buy books for my school, and I find great titles every time. The trade-in credit program is generous, and as a result they have a constant influx of books to keep their stock fresh. Because I visit every few weeks, the staff seems to remember the type of books I’m interested in and help me find some cool and unusual stuff! The store also cultivates a good sense of community in Longwood. My highest recommendation.

He’s the alpha king, my crush, my guardian. And he’s 20 years older than me. ** “How old are you?” “T-Twenty,” I bit my lower lip, stuttering on the lie. “I’m an adult.” I trembled but turned my head, allowing him to drag his nose along my neck and breathe in my scent. I didn’t know what I smelled like to him. Did I smell like I was lying? I held still. He shifted just a bit, seemingly retreating, and I flung my arms around his neck, holding him down. “Please, Alpha King,” I said. My voice trembled even as I tried to sound sultry. “I’m… sure I can please you.” “Do you know what happens when you lie to the Alpha King, little girl?” He knew. I should have known that he would know I wasn’t twenty. “You seem so deliberate, but I’m not interested in your offer. How about we play a game?” “A-A game?” He narrowed his eyes and gave me a slow, cruel smile. “If you win, I’ll grant you sanctuary.” My eyes widened with a spark of hope. “But if you lose….”

The Beta's Redemption
FINAL INSTALLMENT OF THE REDEMPTION SERIES Book 1- Two Alphas And A Lie Book 2- The Lycan's Unexpected Alpha I stared up into the eyes of the man that I had yearned for for the past five years. I still couldn't believe that this was happening. It had to be a dream, right? "Are you sure you're ready?" He murmured, running his lips against my jaw. "Once we start, I don't plan to stop." "I'm sure." I rasped, wrapping my arms around his neck. "I've never been more sure about something in my life." My body thrummed with anticipation as his heat seeped into me. And when he began to move, I felt my very soul beginning to come alive. "Please take me." I begged, closing my eyes and bracing myself. A slow heat begins to build within me as he starts to move, crossing the path of no return, and explosions begin to erupt within me. And that was always when the alarm went off and my world of pleasure and true happiness crashed down around me. Since that day, there hadn't been any word from him. There were no notes, phone calls, or even a single mindlink! But suddenly he is back, but he isnt the same. The light that once shone so brightly in his eyes has deminished and all that is left is a spine chilling coldness. He no longer wants me and does everything in his power to hurt me. But i can see that he is suffering from some inner turmoil and I won't let him suffer alone. I will fight for him to the bloody end, even if i die in the end.

The best Warhammer 40,000 novels
There is no time for peace. No respite, no forgiveness. There is only READING THE BEST 40K BOOKS.
Best 40K books for beginners
Best 40k series, best standalone 40k novels, best horus heresy books, best 40k comics, further reading.
Douglas Adams used to add the word "hyper" to things to make them sound more sci-fi. The authors of the best Warhammer 40,000 books do the same thing, only their prefix of choice is "mega". Orks pilot mega bommers and mega gargants. The Imperium's agri-worlds are threshed by mega-harvesters, and its industrial worlds powered by megafurnaces. Spider-like aliens? They are called, delightfully, "megarachnids".
It's the perfect word for 40K, a science-fantasy setting based on taking everything too far, then pushing it further. Not content with extrapolating the future to a reasonable distance, it imagines 38 or 39 millennia ahead (individual books hop around the timeline) to a galaxy that's full to bursting with evil empires who are all at war with each other and frequently themselves.
They're pretty extra when it comes to gore and dismemberment as well, the writers competing to find new ways to describe violence. Some of the books are clever and twisty, but they always find room for something to be painted with arterial spray, or a head to pop like a specific over-ripe fruit or vegetable. In one turn of phrase that will stay with me till I die, someone's intestines flopped out like gray snakes. You don't get that anywhere else.
The other thing 40K books push beyond reason is their quantity. There are so many it's hard for new readers to find a way in, and easy for regular readers to miss books they'd enjoy in the megaflood. Here are the best 40K books.
If you want to dip a toe in the dark future, Deathwing (opens in new tab) is a short-story anthology that gives a solid overview of the setting's breadth. Devil's Marauders by Bill King is about a company of Imperial Guard racing to escape their own bombardment across a planet where trees are so big their branches form highways. Charles Stross writes about a judge and an assassin dispatched to bring an entire world back under Imperial control, while Storm Constantine writes about psykers falling in love while their ship travels through the alternate reality horrorshow of the Warp. Heck, there's even a couple of stories about space marines.
For a standalone novel, read Lord of the Night (opens in new tab) . It's about a traitor marine searching a hive city for a relic, which he does by terrorizing its inhabitants from the shadows while talking like a Frank Miller protagonist. As he murders his way through the city's gangers and underclass, an apprentice inquisitor tries to convince her superiors that he exists, and that they should actually care there's an evil Batman out there ripping apart disposable citizens.
The Eisenhorn (opens in new tab) books turn 40K into hardboiled fiction, with Inquisitor Eisenhorn as a Raymond Chandler detective narrating in first-person. His investigations into Chaos frequently lead to conflict with the machinery of the Imperium he's supposed to protect, which plays well with the genre's cynical view of authority. Eisenhorn's written by Dan Abnett, one of the better 40K writers but one with a weakness—endings that feel rushed. The third book in the Eisenhorn trilogy suffers from this, but waiting on the other side is a sequel trilogy called Ravenor. Ravenor jumps genre and protagonist, following an inquisitor who works with a team of badass specialists. Suddenly it's more like the X-Men than The Big Sleep, a change that revitalizes the series and makes it worth sticking with.
For classic military sf, Gaunt's Ghosts (opens in new tab) is the series you want. Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt is an unusually compassionate officer, dedicated to keeping alive a regiment who are the only survivors of a dead world. Unfortunately for them, the war engine of the Imperium is full of glory hounds and bastards happy to throw away thousands of lives to move a trench forward half a mile. While the enemies faced by the Ghosts are terrible, Gaunt struggles just as much against the orders he's given.
Ciaphas Cain (opens in new tab) is another series about an unusual commissar, only what makes Cain different is that he's a liar and fraud. Cain schemes his way out of responsibilities and danger, and ends up taking credit for every triumph, accompanied by a filthy sidekick named Ferik Jurgen who plays Baldric to his BlackAdder. The Ciaphas Cain books are more comedic than most 40K fiction—if Gaunt's Ghosts takes Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe stories and moves them from Waterloo to Warhammer, the Ciaphas Cain books are George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman Papers shifted to the 41st millennium.
Then there's the Dark Coil, which isn't a formal series, but a name for Peter Fehervari's 40K stories, connected by an esoteric tangle of recurring characters, places, and themes. Start with Fire Caste (opens in new tab) , which follows an Imperial Guard regiment called the Arkan Confederates who walked straight out of a western and have names like "Kletus Modine". They join an endless war against the tau on a planet covered in fungal jungle and a maze of rivers called the Dolorosa Coil. It's a "war is hell" story, Apocalypse Now if it was about cowboys versus aliens who wear anime battlesuits. The short story Vanguard (opens in new tab) is its epilogue, and from there anything with the name Peter Fehervari on it leads further into the Coil.
For a non-human perspective, try The Infinite and the Divine (opens in new tab) . It's about the necrons, pseudo-Egyptian cybermen who were tricked out of their souls and into immortal machine bodies, and have been mad about it for millennia. Trazyn the Infinite is so obsessed with the past he fills a museum with warriors in stasis like life-sized collections of Warhammer miniatures, while his rival Orikan the Divine can see the future and even alter it, which he uses for reasons as petty as jury-tampering. One of the funnier 40K books, it extrapolates the idea of beings who essentially cannot die to imagine an entire species filling infinity with pointless one-upmanship—as well as plays that take literal decades to perform and nobody enjoys.
Honourbound (opens in new tab) is another book about a commissar, but where Gaunt and Cain are atypical, one of the first things Severina Raine does in Honourbound is execute one of her own soldiers for cowardice. Which is exactly what commissars are meant to do. And yet, Raine comes off sympathetic, as do the soldiers who serve under her—even though one's an addict who does some terrible things and the others are so superstitious they shun the psyker attached to their squad and call her a "witch". Written in present-tense, Honourbound constantly pauses to dive into the thoughts of its ensemble cast, peppering the battles and intrigue with psychological insight that makes it as much character study as war story.
The Horus Heresy line jumps back 10,000 years to a formative point in the setting's history. Like most prequels they're better experienced after the stories they're set before, full of foreshadowing that pays off if you know what's coming. The first three are the essential ones: Horus Rising (opens in new tab) , False Gods (opens in new tab) , and Galaxy in Flames (opens in new tab) . In these, the perspective is split between superhuman space marines and ordinary remembrancers—artists, photographers, poets, and journalists brought along to record their Great Crusade for posterity, who instead witness its fall into corruption and betrayal. It's a look at the Imperium before religious dogma dominated it, imperfect but far from "the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable" it becomes.
Unfortunately the Horus Heresy books were a victim of their own success, selling well enough that initially modest plans were expanded into a line that numbers over 50 books, full of padding and stories that bounce back in the timeline to fill gaps no one cares about. One exception is Legion (opens in new tab) , a spy novel that uses yet another of 40K's grand pointless wars as a backdrop. Best of the books that rewind the timeline is The First Heretic (opens in new tab) , which goes back to the roots of the heresy among the Word Bearers, and nicely sets up probably the best Horus Heresy book of all, Know No Fear (opens in new tab) . It turns an attack on an Ultramarines homeworld into a disaster movie in present-tense, and actually makes the most boring chapter of marines interesting for once.
Beyond those, the best way to approach the later Heresy books is to cherry-pick ones that focus on factions or characters you're already interested in and skip the rest. If you like the White Scars read Scars (opens in new tab) , if you like the Space Wolves read Prospero Burns (opens in new tab) , and if you like giant robots read Mechanicum (opens in new tab) .
When Marvel Comics got the 40K licence the result was both a solid introduction to the setting for comics readers, and an enjoyable blast of the old megaviolence. Marneus Calgar (opens in new tab) is a five-issue series about how the chapter master of the Ultramarines first became a space marine, told in flashback as a tech-adept tries to discuss the finer points of budgeting ammunition with him. This is constantly interrupted by battles with entire armies of heretics, pages of impaled bodies and blood. Which is great.
The other 40K comic worth reading leans into comedy even harder. Deff Skwadron (opens in new tab) is about ork fighter pilots in junker planes with three speeds: stop, fast, and "Waaagh!" They act like The Dam Busters on a raid, if you replaced tactics with pure brutality and a belief that parachutes are for wimps. The dogfights are chaotic, sketchy swirls of ink where engine parts and limbs fly through the air like confetti at a wedding. Deff Skwadron is an older one and can be hard to find in print, but worth it.

Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen
When Zoey moves into her late mom's apartment at The Dellawisp, she hopes to get to know her better.
