| TITLE: |  How to Make Love to Adrian Colesberry by Adrian Colesberry |
| DESCRIPTION: | A guidebook to seducing, satisfying, and loving the only man you'll ever need. In an act of generosity, Adrian Colesberry has written an exquisitely detailed guidebook to ensure that every reader knows precisely how to please him--in bed and beyond. Brimming with self-indulgent and incredibly bawdy humor, How to Make Love to Adrian Colesberry is a sexual memoir disguised as a manual on Colesberry's pet peeves, favorite positions, and surefire ways to turn on your man (aka Adrian Colesberry). Recounting dozens of annoying peccadilloes and helpful pro tips gleaned from his experiences with former lovers, Colesberry covers all corners to ensure that no stage of the court-and-conquer process is overlooked. Beginning with how to attract Colesberry, he later progresses to foreplay and finally the full monty, revealing his own erratic, often unerotic sexual history along the way. From his awkwardly celibate teenage years to the emotional scars inflicted by his domineering ex-wife, Colesberry muses on bondage, three-ways, toys, bi-curiosity, and other kinks. A pitch-perfect parody that spares no detail, How to Make Love to Adrian Colesberry is a hilarious and filthy new entrant into the fratire genre. |

| TITLE: | Concrete Reveries by Mark Kingwell |
| DESCRIPTION: | An exploration of urbanism, personal identity, and how the space we live in shapes us According to philosopher and cultural critic Mark Kingwell, the transnational global cityNew York and Shanghaiis the most significant machine our species has ever produced. And yet, he says, we fail again and again to understand it. How do cities shape us, and how do we shape them? That is the subject of Concrete Reveries, which investigates how we occupy city space and why place is so important to who we are. Kingwell explores the sights, smells, and forms of the city, reflecting on how they mold our notions of identity, the limits of social and political engagement, and our moral obligations as citizens. He offers a critique of the monumental architectural supermodernism in which buildings are valued more for their exteriors than for what is inside, as well as some lively writing on the significance of threshold structures like doorways, lobbies, and porches and the kinds of emotional attachments we form to ballparks, carnival grounds, and gardens. In the process, he gives us a whole new set of models and metaphors for thinking about the city. With a spectacular interior design and more than seventy-five photos, Concrete Reveries will appeal to fans of Jane Jacobs, Witold Rybczynski, and Alain de Bottons The Architecture of Happiness. |

Newly graduated from college and an aspiring writer, Beth Hayes craves independence and has a world to conquer. But her notions of travel, graduate study, and writing the great American novel will have to be postponed. With her mother, Susan, leaving to fulfill her own dreams in Paris and her Aunt Maggie, Uncle Grant, and stepfather, Simon, moving to California, Beth is elected by her elders to house-sit the Island Gamble. Surrounded by the shimmering blue waters of the Atlantic, the white clapboards, silver tin roof, and confessional porch have seen and heard the stories of generations of Hamiltons. But will the ghosts of the Island Gamble be watching over Beth? Buoyed by sentimental memories of growing up on this tiny sandbar that seems to be untouched by time, Beth vows to give herself over to the Lowcountry force and discover the wisdom it holds. She will rest, rejuvenate, and then reenter the outside world. Just as she vows she will never give into the delusional world of white picket fences, minivans, and eternal love, she meets Max Mitchell. And all her convictions and plans begin to unravel with lightning speed. There is so much about life and her family's past that she does not know. Her ignorance and naivet nearly cost her both her inheritance and her family's respect. But Beth finds unexpected friends to help her through the disaster she faces: her wise and charming Aunt Sophie; Cecily Singleton, the granddaughter of Livvie Singleton; and Woody Morrison, the solid young investment banker. This wonderful ensemble of characters could be your own family, but watch what unfolds as they succumb to the island's spell. If everything happens for a reason, then Beth's return to Sullivans Island teaches her that betrayal and tragedy are most easily handled when you surround yourself with loyal family and friends in a magical place that loves you so much that it wants to claim you as its own. |

A gasoline tanker truck is "stuck" in the Midtown Tunnel. New Yorkers are panicked .... Is this the next big attack? Alex, an artist, and Ruth, a former schoolteacher with an FBI file as thick as a dictionary, must get their beloved dachshund, whose back legs have suddenly become paralyzed, to the animal hospital sixty blocks north. But the streets of Manhattan are welded with traffic. Their dog, Dorothy, twelve-years-old and gray-faced, is the emotional center of Alex and Ruth's forty-five-year-long childless marriage. Using a cutting board as a stretcher, they ferry the dog uptown. This is also the weekend that Alex and Ruth must sell their apartment.

| TITLE: | Let the Great World Spin: A Novel by Colum Mccann |
| DESCRIPTION: | In the dawning light of a late-summer morning, the people of lower Manhattan stand hushed, staring up in disbelief at the Twin Towers. It is August 1974, and a mysterious tightrope walker is running, dancing, leaping between the towers, suspended a quarter mile above the ground. In the streets below, a slew of ordinary lives become extraordinary in bestselling novelist Colum McCann's stunningly intricate portrait of a city and its people. Let the Great World Spin is the critically acclaimed author's most ambitious novel yet: a dazzlingly rich vision of the pain, loveliness, mystery, and promise of New York City in the 1970s. Corrigan, a radical young Irish monk, struggles with his own demons as he lives among the prostitutes in the middle of the burning Bronx. A group of mothers gather in a Park Avenue apartment to mourn their sons who died in Vietnam, only to discover just how much divides them even in grief. A young artist finds herself at the scene of a hit-and-run that sends her own life careening sideways. Tillie, a thirty-eight-year-old grandmother, turns tricks alongside her teenage daughter, determined not only to take care of her family but to prove her own worth. Elegantly weaving together these and other seemingly disparate lives, McCann's powerful allegory comes alive in the unforgettable voices of the city's people, unexpectedly drawn together by hope, beauty, and the "artistic crime of the century." A sweeping and radical social novel, Let the Great World Spin captures the spirit of America in a time of transition, extraordinary promise, and, in hindsight, heartbreaking innocence. Hailed as a "fiercely original talent" (San Francisco Chronicle), award-winning novelist McCann has delivered a triumphantly American masterpiece that awakens in us a sense of what the novel can achieve, confront, and even heal. |

As generous in its scope as it is acute in its observations, Making an Elephant brings together a richly varied selection of essays, portraits, poetry and interviews, full of insights into Graham Swift's passions and motivations, and wise about the friends, family and other writers who have mattered to him over the years. Kazuo Ishiguro advises on how to choose a guitar; Salman Rushdie arrives for Christmas under guard; Caryl Phillips shares a beer with the author at a nightclub in Toronto. There are private moments with his father and with his own younger self, as well as musings on history, memory and imagination that illuminate the work of a writer who, in his fiction, regards it as "a mark of achievement" when his own voice and presence vanish into his characters. A journey through place and time, conversation, encounters and ideas, Making an Elephant brims with charm and candor, an alertness to experience and a true engagement with words--in short, with what it means to believe that writing and reading are an essential part of living. |

| TITLE: | Hit Hard by Joey Kramer |
| DESCRIPTION: | "I'd played my drums in front of eighty thousand screaming fans and passed out in my own puke. I'd toured in private jets, rode in limos, and had just about any girl, at any time, for any thing. I also lived in rat-infested, shithole apartments, got caught in a burning car where I sustained third-degree burns all over my body, racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt, and watched my father die a slow, agonizing death. But I had never felt anything like this depression that brought me to Steps.... This time, there was only me and my pain, and I didn't see any way out." from the Introduction In 1997, amid Aerosmith's sold-out world tour and number one album release, word about Joeys troubles was reported in the press. Despite the advice he had received to play it down, Joey revealed in an interview his ongoing struggles with depression. The response from fans and people battling those same internal demons was overwhelming. Joeywho has been the drummer in Aerosmith since it was founded in 1970 and is the first member of the band to release his own booknow tells the complete story: the early days of the band, glamorous drug-addled events leading up to their eventual sobriety, battles within his family and among bandmates, and the explosive internal dynamics in Aerosmith that continue to unleash a fury of endless creativity. This is not just another rock 'n' roll memoir. In addition to the never-before-told Aerosmith war stories that abound in the book, Hit Hard unpacks the history of a rock star who was both fragile and tough, who after years of insane wildness became willing to accept help and finally kick a serious alcohol and drug addiction, only to find that the real terrors and hard work were still ahead. It's the story of an average kid from an average American suburb who went through physical and emotional trauma. It's about years of depression and the nervous breakdown at the height of the band's comeback success. Ultimately, Hit Hard is about how Joey recognized his confusion between love and abuse, awakening to the kind of self-acceptance and compassion that make relationships possible in the "real world" as a member of the biggest band in American history. |

| TITLE: | Deadly Angel by Fred Rosen |
| DESCRIPTION: | An astonishing true story of bizarre love and lethal obsession in America's last frontier. Mechele Hughes came to Wasilla, Alaska (pop. 4200), looking for a new life and easy money. As an exotic dancer at the Great Alaskan Bush Company in nearby Anchorage, she was soon earning thousands a night--and getting expensive gifts from admiring male clients. Three in particular fell under her spell. Each claimed to be engaged to her ... and they all lived with her together in the same house. But in May 1996, the bullet-ridden body of Kent "T.T." Leppink, a local fisherman and one of her fiancees, was discovered in a wooded area ninety miles away--possibly slain by suitor number two, John Carlin III, at the stripper's urging. Ten years would elapse before the arrests and trials of Mechele Hughes Linehan and John Carlin III. Was the real Mechele a murderess, a ruthless sexual manipulator as the prosecution claimed, killing for insurance money--or the loving wife and mother she had since become, dedicated to children, animals, and charitable causes? |

| TITLE: | The State of Jones by Sally Jenkins |
| DESCRIPTION: | New York Times bestselling author Sally Jenkins and distinguished Harvard professor John Stauffer mine a nearly forgotten piece of Civil War history and strike gold in this surprising account of the only Southern county to secede from the Confederacy. The State of Jones is a true story about the South during the Civil War--the real South. Not the South that has been mythologized in novels and movies, but an authentic, hardscrabble place where poor men were forced to fight a rich man's war for slavery and cotton. In Jones County, Mississippi, a farmer named Newton Knight led his neighbors, white and black alike, in an insurrection against the Confederacy at the height of the Civil War. Knight's life story mirrors the little-known story of class struggle in the South--and it shatters the image of the Confederacy as a unified front against the Union. This riveting investigative account takes us inside the battle of Corinth, where thousands lost their lives over less than a quarter mile of land, and to the dreadful siege of Vicksburg, presenting a gritty picture of a war in which generals sacrificed thousands through their arrogance and ignorance. Off the battlefield, the Newton Knight story is rich in drama as well. He was a man with two loves: his wife, who was forced to flee her home simply to survive, and an ex-slave named Rachel, who, in effect, became his second wife. It was Rachel who cared for Knight during the war when he was hunted by the Confederates, and, later, when members of the Knight clan sought revenge for the disgrace he had brought upon the family name. Working hand in hand with John Stauffer, distinguished chair and professor of the History of American Civilization at Harvard University, Sally Jenkins has made the leap from preeminent sportswriter to a historical writer endowed with the accuracy, drive, and passion of Doris Kearns Goodwin. The result is Civil War history at its finest. |

| TITLE: | The Rebel Princess by Judith Koll Healey |
| DESCRIPTION: | Alais, the spirited and indomitable princess of France, returns for another thrilling adventure in this historically rich, mesmerizing sequel to The Canterbury Papers When I settled back among the velvet cushions, the scenes from the cathedral replayed themselves before my unwilling eyes: the odd chalice, the way Constance looked at it, the interruption of Mass by the armed knights, the strange response of Chastellain to the king's inquiry. A whisper within me matched the clap-clap of the horses' hooves on the stones of the Paris road: There is more here; there is more here. Paris, October 1207. There is nothing that Princess Alais of France wants more than to settle down with her lover, William of Caen, and to reveal to his ward, Francis, that she is his mother. But intrigue is afoot in the palace: two monks have arrived from Rome on a mission to compel her brother, Philippe, the king, to help them battle a dangerous breakaway Christian sect in the south known as the Cathars. At the same time, Alais's aunt, the dowager countess Constance of Toulouse, is causing trouble in court, and Etienne Chastellain, the king's chief official, appears to be up to something more sinister than usual. Tensions are pushed to the brink when the St. John Cup, a relic much prized by the Cathars, is stolen, and then young Francis goes missing. Frantic for his safety, Alais will risk life and limb to find the boy. Donning a disguise, the royal princess must outwit cunning enemies and make her way into unfamiliar territory to save her son, and perhaps even prevent her beloved France from a bloody holy war. From the opulent halls of Paris to austere monasteries in the south of France, The Rebel Princess combines history and suspense in an unforgettabletale involving one of the most enigmatic and intriguing female figures in medieval history. |

Life seems almost normal until members of the soul music revue he's working with start turning up dead, and Jimmy is the main suspect.

| TITLE: | The Father, Son and Supporting Spouses by Michael Riles |
| DESCRIPTION: | Evanston Illinois native Joe Nichols found a home at Zeta Beta Tau in 1971 on the campus of Monmouth College in Southern Illinois. He becomes the chapter's treasurer since he is of legal drinking age. Amidst the welter taking place both socially and politically in early 70's, ZBT manages to weather the storm with their usual initiations coupled with "community service" to keep the doors to the frat open should any "violations" occur causing probation. They call that "life insurance". Joe graduates with a Bachelors in Business Administration in time for the worst economic downturn since the 1930's, the 1973-74 recession brought on by the oil embargo after World War Three is averted thanks to Nixon and Kissinger ordering the then USSR to not send troops in to the Middle East to attack Israel. Joe later finds employment with foreign concerns and ends up on the receiving end of vitriol from foreign managers due to past and present American actions and, in one instance, trends. All through the 70's and 80's he is successful but never rightfully compensated for his success. All of the three firms he works for post him overseas. He finds himself in Canada, Japan, Italy and the Middle East where Joe, on more than one occasion, is called on to be something of an ambassador for his country given the incidents that take place. His fourth job returns him to the states in time for a corporate scandal that has a Washington connection. Eventually that job will go, as we "yanks" like to say, "belly up". At his fifth firm in Iowa he meets and marries Beth who, because of federal affirmative action dictates in hiring, is posted in a high level management position in the Crown Colony of Hong Kong the very day Joe looses his job and she learns she is pregnant. In Hong Kong Joe performs tasks which do not pay well since it is his wife who has the work visa and not him, hence the reluctance to hire him since his wife's transfer could end his employment in order to accompany her. After their first miscarriage their son Cole comes along as Joe and Beth sponsor her sister Jenny. She is sent over to be the nanny. Unable, or unwilling, to pull strings to get her husband a job at her firm, Beth will loose her job after the economy takes a plunge in the late 1990's. She takes another position that keeps her traveling in Asia as the boy, now seven, asks to go home with his father, this after she asks for a divorce when she is laid off again. She admits to Joe that she had to lie about her marital and family status to get the job. Prior to that and during the separation Joe did try to blend in with fellow Cantonese in Hong Kong via various positions. But he remains the eternal "stranger in a strange land". The split is amicable, a 50/50 settlement since they both resided in a state with no-fault divorce laws prior to their relocation. Joe becomes a lost ex-pat in Hong Kong until he befriends a Franciscan priest and becomes active in his church, an activist church that sneaks Bibles in to Communist China. He does this to deal with the loneliness and feelings of utter failure after falling back on the faith of his parents for sustenance. After his father passes away, another milestone, he receives a call on 9/11/2001. Beth tells him that she not only wants to leave Asia but that their son wants to be with him, his father, and not her. With the hint of imminent war after the Twin Towers attack, Joe does return to Chicago with his young son to begin live anew. It is there fate will take him to a single mom with a son Cole's age. She lost her husband in the war in Iraq. The story ends with the impression that Joe will have a "do over". Life does go on in spite of everything life can throw at us, or in Joe's case, hurl at us. |

A daunting task, especially since her earthy sexuality has him making all sorts of deviations from his plan. Now that he has her captive, he can only pray.

From Japan to California to an eleventh century Ireland preparing for the Battle of Clontarf, Talty must hide her true identity, though she can't hide her ingrained training as a member of the Fianna: the warriors who guard the Kingdom of Ireland. She brings home a discovery worth more than any oil well, yet all she wants is to return to her family and Neil Boru, the adoptive cousin she secretly loves and cannot have--or so she thinks. Neil has a secret of his own, one that emerges as the Boru clan works with MI6 to thwart an invasion of Ireland and bring Talty home. |

Now she vows to use her money and position to save an alien species, the Shifters, from government-sanctioned extermination.

Or save both their lives. This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release.

His refusal to help her, however, falls on deaf ears, as they both knew it would. Gaby didn't get to be where she is as a police officer by playing it safe. But that's just what Marvin intends she do. It's his world, his rules, and his associates who will prepare Gaby for the assignment...and go with her. Nick Tristan's voice has always been magic to her ears. Gaby can't count the times she's "rocked out" listening to Mesquite. But never in her wildest imagination did she ever expect to find magic in his fingers, or between the bodies of two gorgeous men, or in the lifestyle her grandmother scorned and her parents embraced.

| DESCRIPTION: | Isabel Warren wouldn't dream of defying the morality statutes that forbid women over forty from ever making love again. As a medical practitioner, she understands the need for laws preventing "dirty love." The S.O.S. virus of 2030 left most of the male population infertile and turned human DNA into something resembling a microscopic jigsaw puzzle. The virus itself is undoubtedly dangerous, but older women are perhaps the most significant threat humanity has ever faced. Yet knowing what's forbidden and keeping her feminine urges under lock and key are two different things. Especially when Isy's most recent assignment requires her to run intimate tests on Connor Flynn, a man sixteen years her junior, who seems determined to prove she's not the monster everyone else thinks she is. And if such delicious temptation wasn't bad enough, she's also got Trevor Jones to worry about. It seems he, too, is willing to risk everything to be with her.

| TITLE: | Hole In One by Carolina Valdez |
| DESCRIPTION: | During the days, they were fierce nineteen-year-old rivals in a collegiate golf competition, but at night, their passion sizzled under the sheets. After Team USA won, Rio "River" Vargas returned to his native Spain and Greg Thorenson headed back to his home in the United States. But when Rio didn't respond to a letter he sent, Greg wasn't sure if Rio's silence was because Greg had beaten him for the win or because their affair had been only a four-night-fling. Now, professionals at the height of their game, they meet again as competitors in a major tournament in the California desert, where the prize of thousands of dollars is at stake. It's been six silent years since those wild, hot nights as young men. Maybe for Rio that earlier passion had been an experiment, an aberration of who he really is and of whatever Greg may have meant to him. But to Greg, that earlier passion had been something deeper...he had fallen in love. Upon seeing Rio again, Greg is torn between ignoring the past or re-igniting the banked embers of emotion to see where they'll lead. But can he risk it? If Greg opens himself to love, and also wins this tournament, Rio may very well walk out of his life a second time...

Can he keep her that way in the face of a renewed threat? This book has been previously published and has been substantially revised and expanded from its original release. Warning: This book contains graphic language, hot neck biting, outdoor loving and a hot man with a killer smile. |

| TITLE: | Awakening by D. J. Manly |
| DESCRIPTION: | Lucian returns to the small town where he grew up to attend the funeral of a close friend. Charlie's death is mysterious to say the least, and as a cop in a nearby city, Lucian is curious about the circumstances surrounding Charlie's sudden death. Some things have changed since Lucian last visited the little town of Mapleton, but a lot of things are still buried beneath the surface of the quiet little town, in the same way that certain feelings, which have lain dormant for years, are about to wake up. The old Hamilton house is still there, the house which scared Lucian as a kid, and Landon, his old friend, has a new boarder staying at his mother's bed and breakfast, the beautiful and mysterious game warden, Julian Danone. |
