Titles in This Set: This Winter Nick and Charlie Radio Silence Loveless I Was Born for This Solitaire Description: This Winter The festive season isn't always happy for Tori Spring and her brother Charlie. And this year's going to be harder than most. I used to think that difficult was better than boring, but I know better now… I'm not going to think about the past few months, about Charlie and me, and all of the sad. I'm going to block it all out Just for today. "Happy Christmas," I say. Nick and Charlie CHARLIE: "I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years. He likes rugby, Formula 1, dogs, the Marvel universe, the sound-felt tips made on paper, rain and drawing on shoes. He also likes me." NICK: "Things Charlie Spring and I do together include watching films. Sit in the same room on different laptops. Text each other from different rooms. Make out. Make food. Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we're kind of boring. But that's fine with us." Everyone knows Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple - they're inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone's asking if they're staying together, which is a stupid question - they're 'Nick and Charlie' for God's sake! Follow the beloved couple as they navigate the challenges of life and love. Radio Silence What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong? Frances has always been a study machine with one goal: to be an elite university student. Nothing will stand in her way, not friends, not a guilty secret - not even the person she is on the inside. But when Frances meets Aled, the shy genius behind her favourite podcast, she discovers a new freedom. He unlocks the door to Real Frances, and for the first time, she experiences true friendship, unafraid to be herself. Then the podcast goes viral, and their fragile trust is broken. Through Alice Oseman's authentic narrative, you can experience the beauty of teenage life, academic pressure, fandom, and friendships. Loveless Georgia has never been in love, kissed anyone, or even had a crush. Still, as a fanfic-obsessed romantic, she's sure she'll find her person one day. As she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia's ready to find romance. With her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her 'teenage dream' is in sight. But when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her - asexual, aromantic - Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever. Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along? Discover Georgia's asexual coming-out story set at Durham University, a poignant exploration of identity and self-acceptance. I Was Born for This For Angel Rahimi, life is about one thing: The Ark, a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark's fandom has given her everything she loves—her friend Juliet, her dreams, and her place in the world. Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark. He's their frontman - and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing. But dreams don't always turn out the way you think. When Jimmy and Angel are unexpectedly thrust together, they find out how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be. Fall in love with the characters as they navigate the complexities of fame and personal struggles. Solitaire My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and blog. Last year—before all that stuff with Charlie, before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications, and before I had to face the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people—I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that's all over now. Now there's Solitaire. And Michael Holden. I don't know what Solitaire is trying to do, and I don't care about Michael Holden. I really don't. Meet Tori Spring as she battles undiagnosed depression with self-deprecating humour and learns to find joy in the world.
