Book excerpt: If what you see is what you get, Jules is in serious trouble. The suspenseful first in a series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Wake trilogy. Jules lives with her family above their restaurant, which means she smells like pizza most of the time and drives their double-meatball-shaped food truck to school. It’s not a recipe for popularity, but she can handle that. What she can’t handle is the recurring vision that haunts her. Over and over, Jules sees a careening truck hit a building and explode...and nine body bags in the snow. The vision is everywhere—on billboards, television screens, windows—and she’s the only one who sees it. And the more she sees it, the more she sees. The vision is giving her clues, and soon Jules knows what she has to do. Because now she can see the face in one of the body bags, and it’s someone she knows. Someone she has been in love with for as long as she can remember. In this riveting start to a gripping series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa McMann, Jules has to act—and act fast—to keep her vision from becoming reality.
Download or read book Bad for Us written by John Portmann and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people do things that are blatantly bad for them? Think of the falls from grace of Richard Nixon, Gary Hart, Rob Lowe, Martha Stewart, and Kobe Bryant. Portmann argues that we are often our own worst enemies, and that the hardest kind of suffering to bear is what we inflict upon ourselves. This groundbreaking book is a wide-ranging exploration of self-destructive behavior and self-injury. It helps us better understand how and why we engineer our own downfalls, and why dizzying reversals of fortune often leave a trail that leads back to people who should have known better--like Jayson Blair and his blatant plagiarism or Bill Clinton and his affair with Monica Lewinsky.After developing an exciting philosophical category"raving"in which we take leave of our senses and refuse to act according to societal mores, Portmann observes that we all occasionally crave the forbidden or the dangerous. While raving takes varied forms, from streaking nude across a college campus to indulging in unsafe sex, it is best described as "a temporary vacation from the self." Cautioning that our very happiness is at stake, Portmann exhorts us to choose wisely. This rare book is the North Star for cautious rebels."Bad for Us is an engaging book that explores a social and moral paradox. Drawing from thinkers ranging from Immanuel Kant to Thomas Sowell to Madonna, John Portmann deeply explores a topic all but taboo among modern writers--the dual need each of us feels to develop and maintain a sense of self-control, and to lose it from time to time." -William N. Eskridge, Jr., author of Gaylaw: Challenging the Apartheid of the Closet and John A. Garver Professor of Jurisprudence at Yale Law School

Download or read book Christ in the Pizza Place written by Clyde Rose and published by Breakwater Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems selected for this book were gathered from a larger collection that remains on paper napkins, Air Canada puke bags, restaurant menus, hotel stationery and the like. Some of my critics might quip-and perhaps justifiably-that it might have been better if they were left there. I make no claim to be a poet. I am simply driven by some inherent passion to pen words to paper especially when I'm travelling on long trips. My words tumble out on whatever is at hand and generally stay in the state they were created.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have never witnessed any coverage that accurately reflects what life is like for those employed in the industry. There is a lot of media hype, but that does not reflect the actual team members' daily routine or what they give up in life to provide this entertainment to the world. There is a lot of stress, and some danger, which is managed, but it takes a personal toll. The stress has to be relieved in some way. You don't just work with your coworkers; you live with them, all over the world. This book reflects one life of a thousand, on one of thirty teams in the sport.

At stake were the souls of the great population boom of the 1960s. Would they buy into the free-market, patriotic agenda of Thatcherism? Or the anti-racist, anti-sexist liberalism of the new left?

Rejoice! steps back in time to relive the decade when the Iron Lady sought to remake Britain. What it discovers is a thoroughly foreign country.
Download or read book The Righteous Path written by James D.F. Hannah and published by Down & Out Books. This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sheriff Matt Simms’ days are numbered. Diagnosed with liver cancer, and waiting for a transplant, Simms remains steadfast to the things that matter: his friends, his wife, and his duty to protect the citizens of Parker County. The series of home invasions on the elderly is sudden, savage, and seemingly without motive. Shaken to his core by the brutality, Simms delves deeper into the attacks, discovering a family’s secrets and a connection to a decades-old crime. Then there’s the missing teen-ager, and a mother unsure what’s happened to her daughter. Meanwhile, Matt struggles to help his friend and former deputy in the wake of a life-changing injury that has driven the man to the brink of despair. As events escalate and turn explosive and deadly, Simms must put everything at risk—even his own life—to catch the killers. Praise for THE RIGHTEOUS PATH: “Mention noir and the typical mystery reader thinks of the mean streets of Los Angeles or New York, but The Righteous Path is anything but typical. It’s the story of rural West Virginia Sheriff Matt Simms, who’s battling a deadly illness while trying to keep peace and security in a noir-ish part of America that’s been overlooked and forgotten by society. Exquisitely written and filled with crisp dialogue and observations, The Righteous Path is one not to be missed.” —Brendan DuBois, award-winning and New York Times bestselling author “Shamus winner James D.F. Hannah expertly delivers a mystery with more switchback twists than a mountain road, peppered with characters readers will enjoy taking this wild ride with. I dare you to try to put this book down.” —LynDee Walker, Amazon Charts bestselling author of No Sin Unpunished “In The Righteous Path, James D.F. Hannah mixes ricochet banter and raw humanity to create a page-turning mystery. I have some catching up to do!” —Award-winning author J.D. Allen

Download or read book Alaska Wolff Pack written by Margaret Wolff and published by Publication Consultants. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob and Margaret Wolff celebrated their wedding anniversary six months after their marriage--in case they didn't make it a full year. However, they shared a thirty-one year honeymoon before Bob's tragic accidental death. Alaskan Wolff Pack is Bob and Margaret's story, and the story of the remarkable children, friends, and pets they accumulated along the way. The delights of living in the Alaska bush amidst four legged neighbors, the closeness of sharing a one room cabin in a forty square mile yard, and the adventures of gold mining and travel; could not be dimmed by fires, floods, crashes, or death. They mostly lived from hand to mouth, often without a dime in their pockets, occasionally their material possessions were little more than the clothes on their backs, and the tooth ferry could only leave an IOU note under the children’s pillows--but their real riches were abundantly awesome.
