Book Description
A classic memoir that's gripping, funny, and ultimately unforgettable from the bestselling former National Ambassador of Books for Young People. A strong choice for summer reading—an engaging and powerful autobiographical exploration of growing up a so-called "bad boy" in Harlem in the 1940s. As a boy, Myers was quick-tempered and physically strong, always ready for a fight. He also read voraciously—he would check out books from the library and carry them home, hidden in brown paper bags in order to avoid other boys' teasing. He aspired to be a writer (and he eventually succeeded). But as his hope for a successful future diminished, the values he had been taught at home, in school, and in his community seemed worthless, and he turned to the streets and to his books for comfort. Don’t miss this memoir by New York Times bestselling author Walter Dean Myers, one of the most important voices of our time.

The Boys of Fairy Town
Author: Jim Elledge
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1613739389
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
A history of gay Chicago told through the stories of queer men who left a record of their sexual activities in the Second City, this book paints a vivid picture of the neighborhoods where they congregated while revealing their complex lives. Some, such as reporter John Wing, were public figures. Others, like Henry Gerber, who created the first "homophile" organization in the United States, were practically invisible to their contemporaries. But their stories are all riveting. Female impersonators and striptease artists Quincy de Lang and George Quinn were arrested and put on trial at the behest of a leader of Chicago's anti-"indecency" movement. African American ragtime pianist Tony Jackson's most famous song, "Pretty Baby," was written about one of his male lovers. Alfred Kinsey's explorations of the city's netherworld changed the future of American sexuality while confirming his own queer proclivities. What emerges from The Boys of Fairy Town is a complex portrait and a virtually unknown history of one of the most vibrant cities in the United States.

Book Description
STEAMY HOT BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE COLLECTION 3 STANDALONE SHORT STORIES INCLUDED No cliffhanger. Guaranteed HEA. A True Billionaire’s Heart 32-year-old Tasha Winters may have been devastated over her failed relationship, but her broken heart isn’t enough to stop her from pursuing her dreams and perhaps finding love and happiness again. After closing a deal with young billionaire, Bret Walton, for her web development company, she was ecstatic. Having recently taken over his father’s real estate empire, he was currently one of the most eligible bachelors of America. Tasha just hit the jackpot: a major boost in her business and a gorgeous lover in one! Bret woos and inspires her big-time, but doesn’t seem to be interested in a real commitment. Meanwhile, another powerful and handsome billionaire arrives in town to expand his global retail business, hiring Tasha’s company as well. Unlike Bret, Carter Crawford prefers to keep a low profile because of a dark past. He’s smart and serious, and happens to be the ex-boyfriend who left Tasha eight years ago without any explanation. However, despite his betrayal, Tasha finds herself still immensely affected by his presence. Just when she and Carter start to rekindle the romance, Bret surprises her with a marriage proposal. Will she choose the man who has shown her nothing but kindness but may have a hidden agenda or the man she’s known and loved who has caused her tremendous pain? Heart of a Prince It was by pure accident that Nina was present at a lush gala event thrown to welcome the arrival of a wealthy prince. As a caterer, Nina could do just about anything when it came to food and service. But her boss has a new job for her: host an aristocratic party for the evening and entertain a handsome prince! Though Nina is nervous, she proves to be a talented hostess and seems to strike the prince's fancy. The prince, Robin of Othio, introduces himself and quickly puts Nina under a spell, stealing her from the party to explore the city of her home. Though he seems quite taken with her, he's under the impression that she is much wealthier than she is. Her dress would indicate a more wealthy position in society, but Nina keeps her secret to herself...until it bubbles to the surface by accident. Will the prince forgive her white lie or will it cause him to disappear forever? A lavish ball is no place for a caterer like Nina, but she gets to play wealthy for a night in a fancy ballgown—and ends up leaving the event with more than just a new experience. She leaves with the heart of a prince! Wager of Hearts Cassie was supposed to kiss her boss, Markus, as part of a bet…so why is her mouth all over Ryan’s instead? It all started with a bet… Cassie has been in love with her boss, Markus Smith, for as long as she can remember, but she’s never had the courage to do anything other than adore him from afar. That is, until her best friend wagers with her that she can’t claim one hot, steamy night of fun with him at the Christmas party where anything goes so it won’t matter anyway. What could possibly go wrong? Well, kissing the wrong man is a bad place to get started… But it doesn’t end there. The man she kisses is her boss’s friend, Ryan, and soon all three of their lives are intertwined in a way that’s crazy, sexy, and incredibly confusing.
