Following her critically acclaimed collection of short stories, City of Boys, Beth Nugent brings her dark and eerie vision to a powerful first novel. Live Girls is the story of Catherine, in her twenties, who sells tickets in a run-down porn theater in a decrepit port city, A sign in the window of the seedy hotel where she lives reads Transients Welcome. Her only friend is Jerome, an anorexic drag queen who searches for love among the sailors. As Catherine and Jerome set out for Hollywood, we witness -with equal horror and fascination -- their desperate attempt to find redemption in a world that offers them so little. In haunting, stylized prose, Nugent takes us deep into her protagonist's psyche while painting a bizarre -- yet oddly familiar -- picture of a dissociated, disconnected America. Live Girls is a tour de force that will leave no one who reads it unshaken. From the Hardcover edition.Binding Type: Paperback

Small shelves, great value
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These shelves were great for an area out of the way, would not be perfect for everyone. Super sturdy and easy to install however the wood seems untreated and still a bit rough. The brackets don’t blend well and seem a bit out of place but these small and light shelves have been great at holding small items. I might not trust them with anything too heavy but they have held anything I tried. Only complaint is that they are a bit on the small side as far as depth goes. Other than that, they are awesome. If the brackets looked more sleek and the wood was stained it would be perfect for anywhere.

Great shelves that look cute and are affordable!
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium, Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These worked perfectly for what I needed them for. I make plushies and needed a way to store and show off the pieces I plan to keep. They were very easy to put together and hang. I did use a laser to make sure everything was nice and straight and also measuring tape to make sure they were evenly placed. Other than that it comes with everything you need to put them together, like a screwdriver. I found the screwdriver to be kind of bad because the tip of it was too soft and after like 8 screws, the tip had no more edges and would just spin. It stripped itself. But that’s okay, I had my own screwdriver. So if you buy these, make sure you have one or else be very careful with the one they give you. Other than that, they are super affordable, cute, easy to hang and look good. In the pictures I added, I am still in the process of organizing the plushies so they do look a little cramped and messy. I figured I would still add them so you get an idea of how they look. I think they look pretty nice and would look even better if I organized my plushies better lol. I def recommend these shelves and I hope this review helps you! :)

Solid Floating Shelves 🛠️🏠
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 15.7in
I have installed four sets of the black floating shelves in my office. They are made of high quality materials, featuring a sophisticated black woodgrain finish with a natural texture. Supposedly, each unit can handle up to 22 pounds, though I would not recommend testing that limit with your vintage bowling ball collection if you value your flooring. They are awesome.
The value is good for a set of two. Each shelf measures 22x7x1 (56x17x3 cm) inches, providing a decent amount of storage for books or decor. The installation was straightforward since the hardware for multiple wall types was included. They work well in the kitchen for spices or in the bedroom for personal belongings.
One tip for a secure fit: use a level during installation and make sure the bracket is flush against the wall before sliding the shelf on, or your photos might look like they are sliding off a mountain 📐
These shelves offer a clean, modern look and stay stable once mounted correctly. They are a practical choice for adding functional display space to any room 🖼️
