Do Your Laundry or You'll Die Alone


Becky Blades - 2014
    She knew even the best college would not be covering the most important material: How to be kind, happy, and appropriate in public...how to protect oneself from sock monsters, boring conversations, and scary dates...why to keep the clothes clean.So the day before classes started, Blades e-mailed a good-bye letter with motherly advice she had kept to herself for a year.With warmth, wit, and a hint of sass, Blades blended bite-sized morsels of coming-of-age common sense with tiny essays on topics like forgiveness and creativity.Her daughter responded with a challenge: "Mom, take your own advice." So just in time for her younger daughter's graduation from high school, Blades illustrated the prose with her signature mixed media artwork, creating a though-provoking, conversation-starting book. It is wise counsel for women of all ages, reminding us to trust our instincts and to show our dreams who is boss. KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW.

Tales from Margaritaville


Jimmy Buffett - 1989
    Tales from Margaritaville is a collection of short stories (some purely fiction, some based in truth) so vividly packed with restless dreamers, wild wanderers, and pure gypsy souls that just reading it is a wild adventure. Travel along with a cowboy named Tully Mars, as he heads from Heartache, Wyoming, to Graceland, and relive the autobiographical odyssey of a third-generation sailor and first-rate musical outlaw. With unforgettable stories that present the true roamer's twin loves--the sea and the road--Tales from Margaritaville is one "smooth sailing book of infinite imagination" (Chicago Sun-Times).
