Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excluded from so many stories that highlight barely adequate men throughout history are the women who were accomplishing amazing things with little to none of the credit. The women that we’ve discounted as merely a “pretty face.” Or who were painted as a villain in a story when it’s likely that wasn’t even remotely the case. Or the women we’ve disregarded altogether. These badass bitches deserve to have their stories told - their real stories, not just the gratuitous headlines or justifications for their omission. And we deserve the opportunity to get to know them better.

Her people are safe in Grizzly Cove, but she feels as if she’s losing all her friends as they pair off two-by-two with their bear shifter mates. She’s only just found freedom by running away from her oppressive home. It’s not fair that she’s losing her new family too. Trevor rappelled into town from a black helicopter, but he’s found welcome here and a new mission to spark his interest.

He can’t just leave her there, but he soon learns that Beth is as prickly as the trident she carries as a huntress for her people. She’s a warrior in the ocean, but on land, she’s the hunted, and Trevor finds that totally unacceptable. When bounty hunters come to collect the huge price on her head, it’ll be up to Trevor to stop them…and help Beth find her courage, both to face off with her evil stepfather, and accept Trevor as her true mate.

Download or read book The Dinner Party written by Joshua Ferris and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year: The first collection of short stories from the critically acclaimed, prize-winning author of To Rise Again at a Decent Hour These eleven stories by Joshua Ferris, many of which were first published in The New Yorker, are at once thrilling, strange, and comic. The modern tribulations of marriage, ambition, and the fear of missing out as the temptations flow like wine and the minutes of life tick down are explored with the characteristic wit and insight that have made Ferris one of our most critically acclaimed novelists. Each of these stories burrows deep into the often awkward and hilarious misunderstandings that pass between strangers and lovers alike, and that turn ordinary lives upside down. Ferris shows to what lengths we mortals go to coax human meaning from our very modest time on earth, an effort that skews ever-more desperately in the direction of redemption. There's Arty Groys, the Florida retiree whose birthday celebration involves pizza, a prostitute, and a life-saving heart attack. There's Sarah, the Brooklynite whose shape-shifting existential dilemma is set in motion by a simple spring breeze. And there's Jack, a man so warped by past experience that he's incapable of having a normal social interaction with the man he hires to help him move out of storage. The stories in The Dinner Party are about lives changed forever when the reckless gives way to possibility and the ordinary cedes ground to mystery. And each one confirms Ferris's reputation as one of the most dazzlingly talented, deeply humane writers at work today.

Book excerpt: He’s no billionaire. Spider grew up in foster care. Moved from one placement to the next. Yeah, they were placements. Not foster families or homes, just placements. He survived. And that’s all he has to say about it. But that’s his past. His present is pretty good. He’s worked hard. He runs his own business. It’s only a coffee shop, but it does well enough. He makes a decent living. More than the money though, the coffee shop is a part of the community. He’s a part of the community. Life is good. He has some amazing friends. Friends who run the gamut from billionaire brothers to homeless vets. He’s been missing one of his friends lately. One very special little boy named Owen. Owen moved away to Montana with his mom and his new dad, Reid Davenport. When Owen begs him to come visit, Spider jumps at the chance. He’s always wanted to see the mountains and experience life outside LA. He knows there’s a whole different world out there. When he gets to Montana, he’s about to find out just how different life there is. Sure, the scenery is amazing, but it’s the people that fascinate him the most. Especially Frankie. Frankie MacFarland isn’t like anyone Spider’s ever met before. Gypsy soul. Crazy cowgirl. Heart of gold. Mouth of a sailor. Hell on wheels. Sweet angel to the kids she works with. A walking contradiction in so many ways. Spider knows all of that within an hour of meeting her and it only leaves him wanting to learn more. But just as he’s never seen anywhere like Paradise Valley before, its residents have never seen anyone like Spider before – and not all of them like the idea of him getting anywhere near Frankie, let alone getting as close to her as he’d like to. Frankie’s not the kind to let anyone tell her what to do. While she might not have gotten the best first impression of the tattooed stranger in town, she’ll be damned if she’ll let her brother, her cousins or anyone else stop her from getting to know him better. Can a tattooed stranger and a gypsy cowgirl find love in Paradise Valley?

More than 40 million people have viewed Randall’s honey badger video, “The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger.” “It has no regard for anyone or anything—it just takes what it wants! What a little badass!” When viewing wildlife footage, who hasn’t thought at times, “Ewww! What the hell is that?!” Randall thinks it — and says so! In Honey Badger Don’t Care, Randall examines and humorously informs on a dozen crazy, nasty animals of the wild kingdom employing his unique style of telling it like it is! His wildlife writing is refreshingly honest. If an animal scares Randall, he’s not afraid to share. Unlike most nature writers, Randall doesn’t deliver the sugarcoated or drab description.

Just as he introduced the world to the honey badger, the Jesus lizard, and others, so will Randall shed light on twelve bizarre and interesting animals. Designed with callouts, sidebars, and more than fifty photos, Honey Badger Don’t Care presents a wildlife book for adults—hilarious, irreverent, profane, yet charming, chatty, and informative.

Download or read book Gods of Deception written by David Adams Cleveland and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 1235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age ninety-five, Judge Edward Dimock, patriarch of his family and the man who defended accused Soviet spy Alger Hiss in the famous 1950 Cold War “trial of the century,” is writing his memoir at his fabled Catskill retreat, Hermitage, with its glorious Italian Renaissance ceiling. Judge Dimock is consumed with doubts about the troubling secrets he’s kept to himself for over fifty years—secrets that might change both American history and the lives of his entire family. Was his client guilty of spying for Stalin or not? And if guilty, did Hiss’s crimes go far beyond his perjury conviction—a verdict that divided the country for a generation? ​Dimock enlists his grandson, George Altmann, a brilliant Princeton astrophysicist, in the quest for truth. Reluctantly, George finds himself drawn into the web of deceit that has ravaged his family, his curiosity sparked by a string of clues found in the Judge’s unpublished memoir and in nine pencil sketches of accused Soviet agents pinned to an old corkboard in his grandfather’s abandoned office. Even more dismaying, the drawings are by George’s paternal grandfather and namesake, a once-famous painter who covered the Hiss trial as a courtroom artist for the Herald Tribune, only to die in uncertain circumstances in a fall from Woodstock’s Fishkill Bridge on Christmas Eve 1949. Many of the suspected spies also died from ambiguous falls (a KGB specialty) or disappeared behind the Iron Curtain—and were conveniently unable to testify in the Hiss trial. George begins to realize the immensity of what is at stake: deceptive entanglements that will indeed alter the accepted history of the Cold War—and how he understands his own unhappy Woodstock childhood, growing up in the shadow of a rumored suicide and the infidelities of an alcoholic father, a roadie with The Band. In Gods of Deception, acclaimed novelist David Adams Cleveland has created a multiverse all its own: a thrilling tale of espionage, a family saga, a stirring love story, and a meditation on time and memory, astrophysics and art, taking the reader on an unforgettable journey into the troubled human heart as well as the past—a past that is ever present, where the gods of deception await our distant call.
