Download or read book Don t Look Ethel written by Nicholas Doster and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-05 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's human nature to look at something when you have emphatically been told not to look. Those of mythological lore who looked directly at Medusa, the snake-headed creature, were instantly turned to stone. Lot's wife, in the book of Genesis, could not resist to look back even after God had strongly advised her not to. As we know, her one peek instantly and infamously made her the first box of Morton Salt. Similarly, Ethel, in Ray Stevens's 1974 hit song, "The Streak," ignored her protective husband's earnest pleas not to look at a serial streaker. Ethel did not turn to stone or salt, but she did lose her clothes as a result of her looking. My suspect friends, Bacon and Genius, would highly implore you NOT to read this book. However, if you would like quick doses of humor, inspiration, and wisdom, this book just may be what you are looking for. Can you resist? What will your fate be if you do look? The choice is in your hands. Proceed at your own risk! Certainly, it could do no harm to take just one little peek...

Download or read book The House on Coliseum Street written by Shirley Ann Grau and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-04-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative novel of a New Orleans woman’s heartbreaking decision, by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Keepers of the House. Joan Mitchell has two suitors, and can’t decide whom to marry. A witness to her mother Aurelie’s less than successful romantic history, she’d like to skip marriage altogether. Joan and Aurelie live together in a beautiful French Quarter home on Coliseum Street in New Orleans, along with Joan’s many half-sisters born of Aurelie’s five disastrous marriages. Joan lives a mostly carefree life, but when she becomes pregnant, she chooses to end her pregnancy rather than marry a man she doesn’t love—a decision with grave consequences in conservative 1950s New Orleans. The second novel by a National Book Award finalist and one of the most acclaimed voices of the American South, The House on Coliseum Street is a brave, heartbreaking love letter to New Orleans and “a sad, wistful, young, timeless story, graced by [Shirley Ann Grau’s] fine drawn perceptions . . . and by the still, soft enchantment of her prose” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Shirley Ann Grau, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Amazing Gardets lead a double life, seamlessly blending into two contrasting worlds. By day, they dazzle audiences as a renowned clan of circus performers, captivating the masses with their breathtaking acts. Yet, as the sun sets, they metamorphose into world-class jewel thieves, their nimble fingers dancing across the shimmering treasures of the elite. However, the time for retirement finally dawns upon this enigmatic family, and a new chapter unfolds. Amidst the curtain call of crime, the youngest Gardet performer embarks on a solo journey, achieving extraordinary success that spans decades. Yet, her glittering path takes an unexpected turn when a meticulously planned heist goes awry, leaving her outwitted and vulnerable. Meanwhile, a young and unsuspecting waitress finds herself drawn into the perilous vortex of intrigue. Seduced by the tantalizing puzzle of the missing jewels, she becomes entangled with a group of amateur crime detectives, whose true motives and identities remain shrouded in secrecy. "Nothing Here But Bowling Shoes" artfully weaves the narratives of two remarkable women, separated by time and circumstance. Meet Aline, a destitute young girl living in Strasbourg during the 1950s. Her life takes a fateful turn after a tragic loss—her mother's untimely demise. In the midst of her grief, a mysterious uncle arrives, promising Aline a brighter future in Paris. With her father's reluctant blessing, Aline departs for the City of Lights, blissfully unaware of her family's extraordinary secret—circus by day, jewel thieves by night. Enter Renny, years later, whose life collides with Aline's in unexpected and intriguing ways. Working as a waitress in a high-class restaurant near the Hilton Hotel, Renny becomes embroiled in a heist that unfolds with the precision of a carefully choreographed act. Three intriguing patrons, attendees of an "amateur crime solvers" convention coinciding with the heist, implore her assistance. Little does Renny know that her involvement will lead her down a treacherous path, with one of the thieves convinced she possesses the key to unraveling the enigma of the missing jewels. As Aline and Renny's worlds collide, they find themselves ensnared in a web of mystery and danger, where the lines between performer and criminal blur, and where salvation and peril often wear the same face."
