Book excerpt: Winnifred Winnie Emmons, while working at the local diner, is about to cross paths with a man whose life has been turned upside down by the tragic death of his wife and mother of his four children. Little does he know that the precision with which this young woman can clean, cook, can, and garden will one day influence the lives of his little darlings. Love at First Sight is a compilation of stories that tell of the love that grew between a grieving widower and his young bride and, most of all, tell of the love that grew and was demonstrated in the care and nurturing of his precious children. This book was inspired during the last days of this heroines life as she began to pass out of realitys grasp and into the arms of Alzheimers. Her oldest daughter, now her caregiver, trying to hold on a little longer to the moments of this angels life, began writing a tribute to her, which soon became this book. Winnifred was twenty-three when she married George Johnsen. She was full of life and joy and bursting at the seams to care for her new family. She devoted every hour of her day into keeping her home spotless and organized, filled with the fragrance of homemade breads, fresh jams, jellies, and pickles. She hung out lines of wash until they were crisped by the sun. She ironed pillowcases and curtains until they could stand on their own. She put the same energy into her children, keeping them bathed, clean, and curled, lovingly disciplining and teaching them, bringing them into adulthood with a firm hand but always with love. Four children were a handful, but from the first time she saw them, it was love at first sight.

Book excerpt: When a librarian moves to a quaint Irish village where her favorite novelist lives, the last thing she expects is to fall for the author’s prickly son… until their story becomes one for the books, from the New York Times bestselling author of Summer Reading. Emily Allen, a librarian on Martha’s Vineyard, has always dreamed of a life of travel and adventure. So when her favorite author, Siobhan Riordan, offers her a job in the Emerald Isle, Emily jumps at the opportunity. After all, Siobhan’s novels got Em through some of the darkest days of her existence.

If only she didn’t have to deal with Siobhan’s son, Kieran Murphy. He manages Siobhan’s bookstore, and the grouchy bookworm clearly doesn’t want Em around.

But when she discovers the reason for Kieran's initial resistance, Em finds herself torn between helping Siobhan find closure with her series and her now undeniable feelings for Kier.

Download or read book Pizza City written by Peter Genovese and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pizza is a $35 billion a year business, and nowhere is it taken more seriously than New York City. Journalist Peter Genovese surveys the city’s pizza scene—the food, the business, the culture—by profiling pizza landmarks and personalities and rating pizzerias in all five boroughs. In this funny, fascinating book, Genovese explores the bloggers who write about New York pizza, the obsessive city dwellers who collect and analyze the delivery boxes, Mark Bello’s school where students spend a day making pies from scratch, and Scott Wiener’s pizza bus tours. Along the way, readers learn the history of legendary Totonno’s on Coney Island (Zagat’s number-one pizzeria for 2012), along with behind-the-scenes stories about John’s on Bleecker Street, Joe’s on Carmine, Lombardi’s, Paulie Gee’s, Motorino, and more than a dozen other favorite spots and their owners. Throughout these profiles, Genovese presents a brief history of how pizza came to the city in 1905 and developed into a major attraction in Little Italy, a neighborhood that became a training ground for many of the city’s best-loved pizzerias. Enjoyable facts and figures abound. Did you know that Americans put 250 million pounds of pepperoni on their pies every year? Or that Domino’s has more outlets per capita in Iceland than in any other country? Beyond the stories and tidbits, Genovese provides detailed, borough-by-borough reviews of 250 pizzerias, from simple “slice shops” with scant atmosphere to gourmet pizzerias, including shops that use organic ingredients and experiment with new variations of crusts and toppings. Complemented by hundreds of current and never-before-seen archival photos, the book gives the humble slice its proper due and will leave readers overwhelmed by a sudden desire for New York pizza.
