Book Description
Growing up as the "dirty kid" in his neighborhood, Kemal has always had it tough. With his mother dead from a mysterious overdose and his snitch father doing a bid Upstate, 11-year-old Kemal is left to raise himself out on the mean streets of Brooklyn. The women who were once friends with his mother slip him sympathy plates whenever they can, the men want nothing to do with him because of his father's treacherous ways, and the kids who were once his friend bully him while the adults turn a blind eye. Kemal is a pariah and everyone treats him like he's invisible. Except Mink, the fly girl of the block who is a gracious as she is beautiful. Knowing that she was out of his league, Kemal always accepted her grace and crushed on her from afar. Ten years has passed and after being put on by his best friend and prominent hustler, Loot, Kemal is gone and replaced with Lucky Lewis. With his superb math skills and an eye for location, it doesn't take long for Lucky to move up in rank and become one of the most respected lieutenants in Brooklyn. He's celebrating the fruits of his splendor when he bumps into a down-and-out Mink. Barely conscious and gripping a dirty book bag, Mink looks nothing like the girl he fell in love with a decade ago. Lucky takes her home, cleans her up, and the two pick up right where they left off, with Lucky in the position to make Little Mink his woman. Little does he know, the sultry vixen has other plans in mind. The little Mink that everyone has known and loved is gone, replaced with someone far more sinister. With dreams of snatching her ex-boyfriend's empire from under his feet, Mink discovers the opportunity of a lifetime with Lucky, who has the resources and respect to get her the power she needs. Using her body, mind, and deadly force, Mink wraps Lucky around her well manicured finger, making him a pawn in a deadly game of cat and mouse that will either leave both of them reigning over an empire or in exile. Willing to do anything to secure her seat at the head of the table, Mink is stuck wondering whether her heart of ice will help her dreams of building her own empire come true, or will she end up crushed?

Lucky finds himself wishing that he never met Mink, but no matter how much he tries to forget about the sultry vixen, she ends up entering his life when he least expects it. In a strange twist of events, Mink becomes the last thing Lucky has to worry about when his business are destroyed one by one. If that wasn't enough, this unknown enemy places Lucky in the middle of an impending drug war.

Book Description
A heartwarming and revealing look at the wisdom drawn from successful marriages and the secrets to making love last, not from Ph.D.s or therapists but from more than 200 real couples who have walked the walk to more than forty years of marriage. Jaded by his parents' divorce, Mathew Boggs was a young man who'd lost all belief in lifelong love. After observing his grandparents who were madly in love after sixty-three years of marriage, Mat talked his best friend Jason into joining him on a cross-country search for America's greatest marriages. The two bumbling bachelors jumped in an RV and embarked on "Project Everlasting," a 12,000-mile cross-country adventure to discover what it takes to make love last. Each chapter of Project Everlasting is dedicated to one of the pressing questions the bachelors asked the couples, such as: —"How do you know you've found The One?" —"What's missing from today's marriages?" —"How do you keep the romance alive?" —"What's the most important ingredient for a solid marriage?" As the traveled the country, meeting happy couples from all walks of life, Mat and Jason began to understand why their own relationships hadn't worked out quite as planned. They also realized that what they were learning from their wise new friends could change everything for them and—through Project Everlasting—show their generation and generations to come how to build a marriage to last.

Book Description
2019 Button Poetry Prize Runner-Up Dear Azula, I Have a Crush on Danny Phantom is a crossover of our coming of age universes. Exploring the interplay of adolescence and media, Dear Azula is a masterclass on how Generation Z see themselves reflected on screen, how they find themselves in characters when the world does not grant them the possibility.

In chiseled chins and 2D teeth we learned desire. In Dear Azula, I Have a Crush on Danny Phantom we bring the early 2000s renaissance of animation into our modern lives to unpack, celebrate, revel, and remember.

The Mating Mind
Author: Geoffrey Miller
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307813746
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 530
Book Description
At once a pioneering study of evolution and an accessible and lively reading experience, a book that offers the most convincing—and radical—explanation for how and why the human mind evolved. Consciousness, morality, creativity, language, and art: these are the traits that make us human. Scientists have traditionally explained these qualities as merely a side effect of surplus brain size, but Miller argues that they were sexual attractors, not side effects. He bases his argument on Darwin’ s theory of sexual selection, which until now has played second fiddle to Darwin’ s theory of natural selection, and draws on ideas and research from a wide range of fields, including psychology, economics, history, and pop culture. Witty, powerfully argued, and continually thought-provoking, The Mating Mind is a landmark in our understanding of our own species.
