I think I get it," Betty Levitov's youngest student said, sitting on a porch in Harare, Zimbabwe. "You've had a potentially fatal disease, and faced death, and now you'll do just about anything." The student was trying to fathom why a teacher would take thirteen kids from a small midwestern liberal arts college on a three-month trek across Africa. The answer, a learning experience like no other, unfolds in Levitov's thoroughly engaging account of her life-changing stint as a mwalimu ("teacher" in Swahili) with an Australian bus driver and thirteen college kids from Nebraska in tow. The group's wanderings take them-and us-through seven countries. Through dhow trips and donkey rides on the Swahili island of Lamu, scuba diving and spice tours in Zanzibar, camping in the Namib Desert, and swimming on the edge of a cataract at Victoria Falls, we encounter remarkable people, new customs, and intriguing arts (along with malaria, flat tires, a bike accident, and a hostage crisis). As the students apprentice themselves to African cooks, fishermen, carvers, and batik artists, we discover with them a subtle and complex connection among people normally worlds apart.

Overview More than a million readers have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln, the page-turning work of nonfiction about the shocking assassination that changed the course of American history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts in gripping detail the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. In January 1961, as the Cold War escalates, John F. Kennedy struggles to contain the growth of Communism while he learns the hardships, solitude, and temptations of what it means to be president of the United States. Along the way he acquires a number of formidable enemies, among them Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and Alan Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition, powerful elements of organized crime have begun to talk about targeting the president and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy. In the midst of a 1963 campaign trip to Texas, Kennedy is gunned down by an erratic young drifter named Lee Harvey Oswald. The former Marine Corps sharpshooter escapes the scene, only to be caught and shot dead while in police custody. The events leading up to the most notorious crime of the twentieth century are almost as shocking as the assassination itself. Killing Kennedy chronicles both the heroism and deceit of Camelot, bringing history to life in ways that will profoundly move the reader. This may well be the most talked about book of the year.

The floors creak. Fog rolls down the halls. Windows are blackened to keep out the sunshine. People lock their doors against what could be in the room next to them. But there is no such thing as a haunted house. is there After a storm leaves her home demolished, Dory moves into the ground floor of a mysterious old apartment building. She wants nothing to do with the colorful neighbors around her and has no interest in the building's history. However, when she discovers a mistake in her lease, Dory must travel up through building in search of the landlord. What she uncovers are a series of paranormal oddities she never thought existed. As Dory faces the many monsters hidden behind apartment doors, she must come to terms with her own choices, in addition to becoming the target of the wickedest resident in the building. With the help of an amnesiac ghost, a cavalier vampire, and an agoraphobic werewolf, Dory learns what her new home has to offer. What starts as a simple trip upstairs will become an arduous journey. Wonder and monsters abound in this humorous paranormal adventure reminiscent of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Book 1 DescriptionThere are quite a few advantages to having dark skin. The most important one is that when you blush it doesn't show. That cute guy on the third row has been looking at me intensely all week and I've got to say I'm enjoying the attention. In fact, I bend over a little so he can catch a glimpse of my cleavage. If he keeps staring at me like this I'm going to have to go over there introduce myself because I can tell he's probably too shy to talk to me. I chuckle a little. Of course I won't do that; Tyrone would be pissed. Yes, I have a boyfriend. We have been together for about 18 months and it's going well. I'm not sure if I'm in love with him, but I wouldn't know because I've not had a lot of experience with men. We get along and we've even talked about moving in together our last semester. My conservative mom would hate that, but we're adults; we can make our own decisions. Book 2 DescriptionAfter the incident with the Carolina Herrera text message that was actually from Clarice Henry, Tyrone and I ended our relationship. Well I ended it. I walked out on him and went back to my old apartment. Marlene just hugged me tight when I got there with my tear-stained face dragging my suitcases. Book 3 DescriptionThey say that life is like a road trip; you can either travel alone or you can get a few others to travel with you. You need to be really careful whom you let into your vehicle, though, because these people are going to be sitting very close to you and you're going to be influenced by their attitudes and their choices.I don't know for how long I sit on the bathroom floor and cry. I faintly remember hearing Tyrone knocking and asking me to open up the door. Then he went away and I must have fallen asleep because when I come to my senses it's after midnight. I'm in a daze for a while as I try to remember why I'm lying on the cold bathroom floor. Then it all comes rushing back like an avalanche of shit.

Gabby McGrath has spent her life traveling the country with her family and their Renaissance festival troop, and she has found happiness and a sense of belonging among the other performers. At twenty-eight, however, the one thing she has not found is a man to call her own… until she takes a short-term job at Cooper Harris' ranch and her world is turned upside down. From the moment Gabby sets foot on his property, Cooper can tell there is something special about this feisty, beautiful girl. He's sure he'll have his work cut out for him keeping her in line… and keeping his hands off of her. His instincts are proven correct on her first night at the ranch, when disobedience earns her a trip over his knee for a good, hard, bare-bottom spanking. Gabby doesn't know what to make of Cooper. He is unlike any man she has ever met, and though her embarrassing chastisement leaves her furious, it also arouses her like nothing ever has before. Can she tolerate his dominant personality, his strict rules, and his firm discipline long enough to prove to him that she is not a silly, helpless girl? Even if she does, how will this brash cowboy fit in with her unusual family? Will the unlikely couple be torn apart by personality and circumstance, or can Gabby and Cooper make their story a tale worthy of a ballad. Publisher's Note: Her Cowboy Knight is an erotic novel that includes spankings, anal play, graphic sexual scenes, and more. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Veer off the interstate and explore strange, sublime, and breathtaking sights. It's all available on the backroads of Texas. Texas is the second largest state in the United States, and you can be sure it's home to plenty of incredible sights waiting just off the beaten path. Backroads of Texas guides readers off the main drag where they can find intriguing sites, offbeat characters, and glorious landscapes. These are the sights normally missed by interstate-centric travelers. The book includes thirty backroad drives and excursions that take travelers into the boondocks where all the craziest natural sights occur. Watch frenzied bats as they fly by the thousands from San Angelo's Foster Road Bridge. Catch your breath as you drink in the majestic Guadalupe Mountains. Get ready for goosebumps when you spelunk into the shadowy depths of Inner Space Cavern, and try not to get spooked when you see the paranormal ghost lights near the eclectic town of Marfa. These off-road sights are what truly set the Lone Star State apart from its neighbors. Completely reimagined for a new generation of road-trip takers and explorers, Backroads of Texas is lavishly illustrated with photographs, maps, and vintage advertising of Texas's many scenic, historic, and cultural attractions. You think you know what Texas looks like? Think again. Backroads of Texas has something to surprise and excite everyone.
