Book excerpt: It was just supposed to be a vacation. It’s been over a year since Sara’s husband died. The one thing she doesn’t want is another Christmas at home without him. So, budget be damned, she books a ski trip to the Rockies. A change in scenery, she figures, would do her and her two sons a world of good. After another fight with his on-again off-again girlfriend, Ty hops a flight out of LA. Destination: the mountains. Plan: ski as much as possible. Then he’ll head back to LA and be just fine, playing out with his band every weekend. When he sees Sara from the chairlift, kicking butt on one of the toughest trails on the mountain, he decides right then and there to add her to his to do list. Sara is flattered when Ty approaches her, but a no strings attached encounter isn’t her style. “Thanks but no thanks,” she tells him. What she doesn’t know is that Ty isn’t the type to quit before he gets what he wants. And what Ty doesn’t know is that a week is not going to be enough. Not even close. This is Book One of Ty and Sara's story. Book Two: My Angel and Book Three: Forever is Here may be found on Amanda Wilhelm's Google Play Books Page

Download or read book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F ck written by Mark Manson and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Book excerpt: An omnibus edition of all four of Ray Banks's highly acclaimed Cal Innes PI novels - Saturday's Child, Sucker Punch, No More Heroes, Beast of Burden - plus Dirty Work, an exlusive Cal Innes short story collection.From the introduction by Kevin Burton Smith: "Read as a whole, the Cal Innes stories are a testament to loyalty and love, and a stab in the eye to complacency and trendy disenchantment. The conclusion of the final book, Beast of Burden, is as raw and morally and emotionally complex as anything Hammett or Cain or McCoy - or Shakespeare, Hemingway or Hugo or any other writer - ever wrote. The Cal Innes books matter because in these books, ultimately, people matter."

When Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of a prestigious art gallery in Los Angeles, takes her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band, she does so reluctantly and at her ex-husband’s request. The last thing she expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon.

He loves tattoos, dreads, fast cars and pretty women...especially those belonging to his identical brother Lyle. Lyle on the other hand is more quiet and reserved.

While both men were immediately enamored with the mocha colored beauty, Lyle's tender demeanor quickly wins over her affections. Besides Kyle is already in a situation with Julissa's gorgeous best friend Amethyst. Much like the twins, the besties couldn't be more different.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Kyle patiently takes his position and secretly lusts over Julissa from the sidelines. What many don't know is that Lyle has a horrible temper when pushed and harbors several secrets. Secrets that have the potential to chase Julissa away forever.
