Even novels from 70 years ago, such as Ayn Rand’s Anthem share similarities with the same types of stories from only 20 years ago, like The Giver by Lois Lowry.

It’s easy to see that this novel is her best one yet, and thoughts of publishing are the only things that keep her motivated. Pages slowly creak out, sometimes one per day, sometimes less. She tries to balance writing with

From start to finish, English this year had been unlike any other I had. From start to finish, each and every book had a deeper meaning than I, before, could possibly resolve from the text. The exposure I had to this deeper level of thinking forever changed the way I see literature. Less about “what” than “why”, Literature distinguishes a meaningful story from another. While what makes a book “good” is different for everyone, what makes a story meaningful is what it teaches. Each book I read this year had a story and logic behind it. Every story was real enough to have actually happened because the plot points are supported with real speculation backed up by the nature of humanity. I, personally, have never gone as deep into literature as I have this year, giving me a new appreciation for the genius behind the speculation these books present.

I’ve always had a passion and interest in reading and writing. Ever since I can remember, I’ve curled up, blankets and fluffy pillows protecting me from negative forces with an engaging novel. My diaries, while frequently half written, were attempted multiple times and I signed up for multiple pen pals. Journey’s through reading and written have ended with me running my own online magazine, Girl Gun Magazine.

Have you ever noticed that the most popular and successful novels often share many similarities? Have you ever felt as though the variety in the most popular books on the market can sometimes appear bleak?

Sarah Kemble Knight’s writing style also shows how much she like to embellish her experiences. Her satirical way of describing her adventures,

Let’s Get Lost by Adi Alsaid is a contemporary novel that features the stories of five teens whose stories are interwoven through the appearance in their lives of Leila, a mysterious girl driving to see the Northern Lights and crashing (sometimes literally) into the lives of those around her. One of the most prominent features of this book is how Hudson, Bree, Elliot, and finally Sonia, all have stories that part to, at the end, reveal Leila’s story. Leila begins as a selfless but obscure young woman, eager to play a vital role in the stories of others and yet so hesitant to reveal her own story, which brings to light the book’s most important character arc. Leila never reveals her story because she doesn’t have a story, having lost her memory in a tragic accident; the reason she is going to see the Northern Lights is because, on a hunch, she thinks they will make her remember the life she lost. Through living her life, through traveling, meeting these people, and finally realizing she will never remember,

Harlequin Enterprises has been able to capture 80% of the series romance market. Our great existing strategy (see exhibit 1) has allowed us to be the biggest player in the series romance market.

I recommend that Harlequin aggressively pursue the single-title market, using its extensive back list collection to reissue novels by best-selling authors.
