Written by Louisa May Alcott, Rose in Bloom depicts the story of a nineteenth century girl, Rose Campbell, finding her way in society. Sequel to Eight Cousins. The story begins when Rose comes back from a long trip to Europe. Everyone is well altered and as a joke, when she arrives home, she lines up her seven cousins to take a long look at them, just as they did to her when they first met. The youngest accidentally mentions that the aunts want Rose to marry one of her cousins to keep her fortune in the family. Rose is very indignant, and has decided ideas about what her future holds. From the beginning, she declares she can manage her property well on her own, and will be focusing on doing philanthropy work. Charlie has already decided she is marked out for him, with the approval of his mother. Phebe also comes home no longer the servant that Rose "adopted" but as a young lady with a cultured singing ability. Rose challenges anyone that would look down at "her Phebe" and she is readily accepted as part of the Campbell clan until Archie falls in love with her. The family feels that Archie would be marrying beneath him. Phebe's pride and debt to the family make her wish to prove herself before she will accept Archie. Phebe leaves the Campbell's home and sets off to make a name for herself as a singer, and so try to earn the respect for her adopted family. After some time at home, Rose has her "coming out" into society, much to her Uncle Alec's chagrin. She promises to try high society for only three months. During that time, her cousin Charlie falls in love with her and tries in various ways to woo her. Rose begins to give in to his charm, but he derails the budding romance by coming to her house, one night, late and very drunk. This ruins all her respect for him and she sees how unprincipled he really is. After the three months are up, Rose begins to focus her philanthropy projects and convinces Charlie to try to restrain himself from alcohol and other frivolous things, in order to win her love and respect. She tries to help Charlie overcome his bad habits with the help of her uncle, but fails. Charlie does all he can to win her heart, but in the end he succumbs due to his own weak will and his constant need for acceptance by his friends. Being spoilt by his mother meant he never learned to say "no", even to himself, and its his lack of discipline that proves fatal. Charlie's life ends tragically in an alcohol-induced accident on the eve of his voyage to see his Father, and restore his good character. Although Rose was never in love with Charlie, she did have hopes that he would return a better man and they could see what relationship would develop. Several months after Charlie's death, Rose finds out that her other cousin, Mac, is now in love with her. At first she refuses his love because she had never thought of him in any other light but "the worm". She refused him, but declares she has the deepest respect for him. This gives Mac hope, and he goes to medical school willing to work and wait for her. She finds his devotion touching, and as she begins to really see him for the first time, realizing that Mac is the "hero" she has been looking for. He is exactly suited for her tastes and has become a man in the noblest sense of the word. He also settles a joke with her by publishing a small book of poetry to wide critical success, and so earning her respect even more. It is his absence that shows her how much she cares for him. While Rose is discovering her heart, Steve and a minor character, Kitty, get engaged. This creates a new sensation in the family, and Kitty begins to look to Rose for sisterly guidance. Rose encourages her to improve her silly mind, and Kitty is a very willing pupil. Rose continues to wait for Mac's return, but reaches a crisis when Uncle Alec gets very sick on a visit to Mac. Phebe nurses him back from the brink of death, at personal peril, and returns him to the anxious Campbells to be greeted as a triumphant member of the family, sealing the engagement with Archie with everyone's blessing. This homecoming is complete for Rose when she is reunited with Mac, and finally declares her sentiment. The book closes with three very happy couples, and much hope for their felicity.

Dolly Dialogues is a book written by Anthony Hope. Humorous dialogues of the flippant bachelor Carter with his flirtatious friend Dolly and other acquaintances. Good practice for modern readers in picking up implication in Victorian writing, as the large gaps make it clear where the reader is meant to fill in something that isn't being said.

Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand. And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.

Prey is a novel by Michael Crichton based on a nano-robotic threat to human-kind, first published in hardcover in November 2002 and as a paperback in November 2003 by HarperCollins. Like Jurassic Park, the novel serves as a cautionary tale about developments in science and technology; in this case, nanotechnology, genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. The book features relatively new advances in the computing/scientific community, such as artificial life, emergence (and by extension, complexity), genetic algorithms, and agent-based computing.
