Book Description
For fans of Never Have I Ever and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before comes a hilarious and heartfelt novel about a young Haitian girl navigating high school, friendship, and crushes. Fifteen-year-old Fancy Augustine is a Haitian American girl with simple desires. She’d like to trade in her floppy, oversize boobs for cute, perky ones. She’d love a boyfriend. And she’s desperate for an invite to the biggest event of the school year: Imani Park’s birthday party. When Fancy learns her BFF, Tilly, has received a coveted invite and has a secret boyfriend, she is (understandably) devastated and wholeheartedly determined to do whatever it takes to get her own happily ever after. So what if she makes a deal with the devil (Imani) that guarantees her an invite—but only if she can bring a boyfriend? And what’s so bad about letting her crush, Rahim, believe that she can create a voodoo potion for him in exchange for him posing as her boyfriend? And, yeah, maybe she’s destroying her friendship with Tilly and falling hopelessly behind in her schoolwork, but Fancy knows it’ll all be worth it in the end. Plus, it’s not like Fancy’s parents would really make good on their threats of sending her back to Haiti...right?

Pages : 145
Book Description
For twenty-four hours, the Executioner will turn New Mexico into hell on earth After dozens of battles and an untold body count, Mack Bolan thought his one-man war against the Mafia was coming to an end. He planned a final week of mop-up work, clearing out mob infestations wherever they were the thickest before joining up with the US government and leaving his old life behind. But as any exterminator knows, some pests are harder to get rid of than others—and the Mafia is tougher than any cockroach. Bolan is on his way to Texas when he is forced to make a detour in New Mexico to take out a sadistic doctor who has been performing gruesome experiments on disloyal Mafia soldiers. In the high desert country near Santa Fe, he discovers a mob plot that rivals anything he’s ever seen. The war for the American underworld is about to reach an atomic level of destruction. Wednesay’s Wrath is the 35th book in the Executioner series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Yaqui Homeland and Homeplace
Author: Kirstin C. Erickson
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 0816535922
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
In this illuminating book, anthropologist Kirstin Erickson explains how members of the Yaqui tribe, an indigenous group in northern Mexico, construct, negotiate, and continually reimagine their ethnic identity. She examines two interconnected dimensions of the Yaqui ethnic imagination: the simultaneous processes of place making and identification, and the inseparability of ethnicity from female-identified spaces, roles, and practices. Yaquis live in a portion of their ancestral homeland in Sonora, about 250 miles south of the Arizona border. A long history of displacement and ethnic struggle continues to shape the Yaqui sense of self, as Erickson discovered during the sixteen months that she lived in Potam, one of the eight historic Yaqui pueblos. She found that themes of identity frequently arise in the stories that Yaquis tell and that geography and location—space and place—figure prominently in their narratives. Revisiting Edward Spicer’s groundbreaking anthropological study of the Yaquis of Potam pueblo undertaken more than sixty years ago, Erickson pays particular attention to the “cultural work” performed by Yaqui women today. She shows that by reaffirming their gendered identities and creating and occupying female-gendered spaces such as kitchens, household altars, and domestic ceremonial spaces, women constitute Yaqui ethnicity in ways that are as significant as actions taken by males in tribal leadership and public ceremony. This absorbing study contributes new empirical knowledge about a Native American community as it adds to the growing anthropology of space/place and gender. By inviting readers into the homes and patios where Yaqui women discuss their lives, it offers a highly personalized account of how they construct—and reconstruct—their identity.

An Epigrammatist’s Epic Edification
Author: A. Fitzgerald Morris
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1490740783
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
It all started one late night in February of 2013 while I was playing City Story Metro, one of my favorite online simulation games on my iPad. This game requires you to communicate with others in order to build your city. One person in the community always answered in a tongue twister, and I thought that was very clever. I decided that I wanted to try my hand at it. The initial process had me laughing so hard that I gave myself a headache. I thought, “I am really on to something here”. Once I started posting my tongue twisters as responses, the community went nuts! People were saving my days-of-the-week tongue twisters in their inboxes for weeks! After a period of time, someone suggested I not post anymore and have them published. “What a great idea!” I thought. I immediately stopped all postings of them. A few months later, I got the idea of incorporating my tongue twisters into greeting cards. I proceeded to make my first one, and the recipient just loved it! Spurred on by their enthusiastic response, I then proceeded to send out more to friends and family. They loved theirs as well. One text from my sister-in-law said, “Best. Birthday. Card. Ever! Thank you so much!” That was confirmation for me to attempt a business with this. Since then, I have sold some and have made many more. Now I am branching out into other greeting card occasions such as Mother’s/Father’s Day cards, Valentine’s Day cards, and thank-you cards, just to name a few.
