Heading into their third year at university, Esther, Daisy, and Susan are living apart from each other for the first time, and it’s definitely going to be absolutely fine and not weird at all.

Introducing your girlfriend to your family can be difficult, but it’s much worse when that girlfriend is Ingrid.

Daisy and Susan betray the sacred coven, leaving Esther to try - at high speed and under considerable pressure - to claim her dream home.

McGraw puts faith in his and Daisy's "unique understanding" while trying to deal with the fact he is a low down double-dealing dirty cheat whose name is now mud in the influential Spanish community.

Esther gets caught up in the influence of a "super-woke" colleague, and Susan grows frustrated with Ingrid''s presence in their home.

Time is a fickle creature, especially when there''s wormhole in the science cupboard. When a strange boy who seems far too entranced by cell phones appears, it''s up to Lottie, Shauna, and Mildred to figure out his strange purposes. The Case of the Forked Road, the seventh book in John Allison''s award-winning Bad Machinery series, finds our young sleuths facing the intricacies of time and space itself. What is their science teacher hiding? Who is the mysterious Calvin, why is he dressed like it’s 1960, and why is he obsessed with Communists? And another thing: just what is going on with Jack, Sonny, and Linton?

Ed and McGraw''s home has become a no-go zone with the addition of Dean Thompson, and the impending visit of his girlfriend Posy is anticipated with a mixture of morbid curiosity and dread.

It''s springtime at Sheffield University - the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, and fast-pals Susan, Esther, and Daisy continue to survive their freshman year of university. Susan is barely dealing with her recent breakup with McGraw, Esther is considering dropping out of school, and Daisy is trying to keep everyone and everything from falling apart!

Daisy struggles with the persistent advances of Ingrid Oesterle, Esther gets the call from Dark Nebula to be a comic shop employee, and Susan finally saves up enough money to buy a scooter that she''s too afraid to ride.

The girls come home to find that they have been burgled, so Susan decides to employ her street smarts in order to retrieve their stolen items. Daisy and Esther, against their better judgement, decide to help.

The second year begins! When Esther, Daisy and Susan discover that every piece of furniture in their new home was destroyed by the previous occupants, they head to IKEA, where things get complicated.

After spending a dull summer apart, Esther, Daisy, and Susan attend a 3-day music festival that naturally ends in a battle for survival in an apocalyptic quagmire.

Continuing their first semester at university, fast friends Susan, Esther, and Daisy want to find their footing in life. The girls, along with their male hall-mates, Ed and McGraw find that college is more than academics and bad microwavable meals. Add some pub hopping, hookups, breakups and political scandal this might just be the most eventful first semester ever. Giant Days, the comedic slice-of-life series from creator John Allison (Bad Machinery, Scary Go Round) and fantastic newcomer Max Sarin, has graduated to a third volume, collecting issues 9-12 of the Eisner Award-nominated series.

This guide offers advice to inexperienced race directors who wish to host a small 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, or Marathon to benefit a charitable organization. The advice contained within is based on my own experience. I ran a lot of races before I ever bit the bullet and directed my own. I thought I knew plenty to make a great race. But I quickly learned just how tough a race director's job is. Hopefully, my experience will help you avoid some mistakes, think of some things you might not have, and host a great race that your runners want to race every year.

Creative tensions and "mildly erotic subcurrents" proliferate as Esther and her Svengali boyfriend battle Susan and Daisy for a £5,000 Film Festival prize.

Esther, Susan, and Daisy start the search for a house to rent for their second year quite late, so their options leave a lot to be desired.
