Book Description
Takao Kasuga is a bookworm. And his favorite book right now is Baudelaire's Flowers of Evil. While the young man may often be seen lost in thought as he rabidly consumes page after page, Takao is not much of a student. Actually when we are first introduced to the middle school teen, we find him sneaking some reading as he receives and F on a recent language exam. Nakagawa is known as the class bully. When she is not receiving zeros she is usually muttering profanities to those around her. While she doesn't care for books or their readers, she does have a thing for troublemakers. Takao may not be one, but having read over his shoulder a few times, she knows he is not very innocent. If anything he is bored and aware of it. Together, by chance, they shake up their entire rural community as Takao tries to break out of his shell in a random moment of passion and affection...not directed towards Nakamura. And contrary to Takao's predictions, the girl he was falling for, Nanako Saeki, responds by eventually accepting the bibliophile for who he is. Or at least, who she thinks he is.

Book Description
Included in this set: Her Captive Wolf: When I get word of an illegal dogfighting ring on the edge of town, I’ll do everything in my power to stop it. Once we bring those dogs back to Forever Home animal shelter and get them cleaned up, we realize they’re not dogs at all. They’re wolves. Doesn’t matter--we’ll nurse them back to health and give them a second chance at life before releasing them into the wild. I have to admit, I’m getting attached to the blue-eyed wolf who won’t leave my side. And on the full moon, they shift. That wolf who wouldn’t leave my side? His name is Shadow, and he’ll do whatever it takes to thank me for saving his pack. Not everyone in town is happy the Sawtooth Shifters are back, and their enemies have set their sights on a new target—me. Shadow swears he’ll keep me safe because I’m his mate. But I destroyed my last relationship, and I can’t do that to him too. But if I deny his claim, the pack is doomed. Her Guardian Wolf: Once upon a time, there was a little girl who grew up in a man’s world. Surrounded by brothers, she joined the Army the first chance she got. But after a bomb blast changed everything, she doesn’t know where she belongs anymore. That little girl…is me. Now I’m working at Forever Home animal shelter as part of my rehabilitation for PTSD. And it’s a rescued werewolf that sees me like no one else ever has. Baron and I have a lot in common. Too much, maybe. All his family has known is war, and a rival pack has them at their mercy. Those rival wolves think they can use me and my coworkers as pawns. Oh, hell no. He’s been assigned to protect me. That means guarding my apartment at night, and telling me bedtime stories to keep my mind off the shifter war. Baron’s tired of violence, but he’ll fight harder than he ever has to make sure I get my happily ever after. Her Renegade Wolf: When there was a she-wolf shortage in the Sawtooth pack, the elders decided it would be best to sell them to the highest bidder. I was one of those she-wolves. So I was a good little wolf and did the right thing. Now I’m stuck in a loveless marriage with a wicked wolf who considers me his property. But I daydream about what my life would’ve been like if I’d defied my pack and gone with Major Lowe, my fated mate. Now Major’s back after a mysterious disappearance, and claims my husband held him prisoner. He’s determined to avenge what was done to him and his brothers. And he’ll do whatever it takes to claim his fated mate. Me. He promises things will be different this time, and he can give me and my daughter a life full of love and security. But I’m not sure which man poses the greatest threat—the man who owns my body, or the man who owns my heart.

Book Description
In this key text in the history of art and aesthetics, Karl Rosenkranz shows ugliness to be the negation of beauty without being reducible to evil, materiality, or other negative terms used it's conventional condemnation. This insistence on the specificity of ugliness, and on its dynamic status as a process afflicting aesthetic canons, reflects Rosenkranz's interest in the metropolis - like Walter Benjamin, he wrote on Paris and Berlin - and his voracious collecting of caricature and popular prints. Rosenkranz, living and teaching, like Kant, in remote Königsberg, reflects on phenomena of modern urban life from a distance that results in critical illumination. The struggle with modernization and idealist aesthetics makes Aesthetics of Ugliness, published four years before Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal, hugely relevant to modernist experiment as well as to the twenty-first century theoretical revival of beauty. Translated into English for the first time, Aesthetics of Ugliness is an indispensable work for scholars and students of modern aesthetics and modernist art, literary studies and cultural theory, which fundamentally reworks conceptual understandings of what it means for a thing to be ugly.
