Amazons of Bluebelle Valley, Giantess Collector's Edition is phenomenally entertaining and massive - all twenty marvelous episodes of the original series. Included, for your viewing pleasure, in this big, wide, tall, heavy 474-page volume are all the original covers presented as art and without titles. This huge book is the perfect coffee-table gift for the man who dreams (probably secretly) of being enthusiastically loved by magnificent vigorous amazons of superlative proportions. Kind of expensive for a book -- but you wanted highest quality and a fun unique experience for your valuable time. Here it is for the price of a good theater ticket. So pull up a seat, my friend. In the specific genre of mini giantess and small man, Amazons of Bluebelle Valley stands as a grand and unique achievement. It is a celebration of the dominant Goddess, a joyous ode to voluptuous, tall, gorgeous, amorous, and sexy women in the extreme. Surprisingly, these thoroughly smashing-good-time erotic adventures comprise an unexpected spiritual journey you can be proud to witness. Thoroughly indulge yourself and be properly uplifted at the same time: now that's the win-win we've been looking for! Be 21 years old (if not 31) to read the sexually explicit content that permeates these super sexy, XXX-rated, and adult-only adventure stories. This is the Hero's adventure as never seen before, looking up at sexually impossible odds. Each Episode fulfills the promise to be dependably engaging, heartfelt, clever, humorous, and of course sexually perilous for our unlikely little protagonist, Richie Greenfield. We cast aside all unhealthy shame to rejoice and claim this particular sexual fantasy and proclivity. Step into the extraordinary life of our little avatar, our champion, humbly doing his best to be a true man as he lives with, works for, loves under, and is munificently smothered by the Amazons and Giantesses of Bluebelle Valley. "The style is exceptionally easy to read. Each bodacious romp in the juicy fantasy land moves along like a fun amusement park ride. The characters are ultimately open and generous and therefore their world, while edgy and sexually dangerous, seems kind and oddly sweet. The paradox is that so much outrageous crushing sex could be so uplifting." J.E. - San Francisco

A New York Times bestseller: The “magnificent” memoir by one of the bravest and most original writers of our time—“A tour de force of literature and love” (Vogue). One of the New York Times’ “50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years” Jeanette Winterson’s bold and revelatory novels have established her as a major figure in world literature. Her internationally best-selling debut, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, tells the story of a young girl adopted by Pentecostal parents, and has become a staple of required reading in contemporary fiction classes. Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? is a “singular and electric” memoir about a life’s work to find happiness (The New York Times). It is a book full of stories: about a girl locked out of her home, sitting on the doorstep all night; about a religious zealot disguised as a mother who has two sets of false teeth and a revolver in the dresser, waiting for Armageddon; about growing up in a north England industrial town now changed beyond recognition; about the universe as a cosmic dustbin. It is the story of how a painful past, rose to haunt the author later in life, sending her on a journey into madness and out again, in search of her biological mother. It is also a book about the power of literature, showing how fiction and poetry can form a string of guiding lights, or a life raft that supports us when we are sinking. Witty, acute, fierce, and celebratory, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? is a tough-minded story of the search for belonging—for love, identity, home, and a mother.
