The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls Free Preview
Anton DiSclafani - 2013
It is 1930, the midst of the Great Depression. After her mysterious role in a family tragedy, passionate, strong-willed Thea Atwell, age fifteen, has been cast out of her Florida home, exiled to an equestrienne boarding school for Southern debutantes. High in the Blue Ridge Mountains, with its complex social strata ordered by money, beauty, and girls’ friendships, the Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls is a far remove from the free-roaming, dreamlike childhood Thea shared with her twin brother on their family’s citrus farm—a world now partially shattered. As Thea grapples with her responsibility for the events of the past year that led her here, she finds herself enmeshed in a new order, one that will change her sense of what is possible for herself, her family, her country. Weaving provocatively between home and school, the narrative powerfully unfurls the true story behind Thea’s expulsion from her family, but it isn’t long before the mystery of her past is rivaled by the question of how it will shape her future. Part scandalous love story, part heartbreaking family drama, The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls is an immersive, transporting page-turner—a vivid, propulsive novel about sex, love, family, money, class, home, and horses, all set against the ominous threat of the Depression—and the major debut of an important new writer.

100 Years of Leeds United: 1919-2019
Daniel Chapman - 2018
Since its foundation in 1919, Leeds United Football Club has seen more ups and downs than most, rising to global fame through an inimitable and uncompromising style in the 70s, clinching the last Division One title of the pre-Sky Sports era in 1992, before becoming the epitome of financial mismanagement at the start of the 21st century. Despite this demise, United remains one of the best supported – and most divisive – clubs in football, with supporters’ clubs dotted across the globe. In 100 Years of Leeds United, Chapman delves deep into the archives to discover the lesser-known episodes, providing fresh context to the folkloric tales that have shaped the club we know today, painting the definitive picture of the West Yorkshire giants.

Harper Maguire - 2019
The residents of this sleepy little town are none the wiser, but everyone sure knows about Oregon Investigations. Cousins Jack and Liam, and their longtime friend, Brodie aren’t just the private investigators of the firm, they’re also shifters belonging to the very same dwindling den of wolves. PART ONE Charlotte Gold has followed in her father’s legendary, country-singing footsteps, though her success hasn’t spanned beyond Cottage Grove. She’s just fine with that and singing with her band at Home on the Range feels like a little slice of heaven and a whole lot of fun whenever she gets on stage. But when her drummer keels over, dead, one night while playing, Charlotte’s quiet corner of paradise turns dark. No one suspects foul play except for Charlotte and she will stop at nothing to expose the killer who took her friend’s life, even if the residents of Cottage Grove think she’s crazy. One man doesn’t think she’s lost her mind, however, and Jack has all the skills and resources to crack this overlooked case wide open. PART TWO Eve Picoult hasn’t set foot in her hometown of Cottage Grove since she graduated high school ten years ago, but her dear friend twists her arm into agreeing to return for their ten-year reunion. It’s been forever, but how could she say no to her favorite Skype friend who has always been there for her, through thick and thin? For Eve, well, one reason comes to mind… or person. Brodie Shea. When Eve arrives at Cottage Grove, however, she discovers her friend mysteriously vanished. How could that be? Eve fears the worst, knowing her friend wouldn’t miss her high school reunion for the world. And it will be Brodie and his private investigation firm who will help Eve find out why her old friend has suddenly disappeared. PART THREE One dark, foggy night, as Wendy Cunningham kicks and fights her way up from the bottom of Silver Lake, she fears that life as she knows it is about to come to a violent end. But a man pulls her out, saving her life at the last minute. She doesn’t recognize him, but Liam knows exactly who she is. Come to think about it, not only does Wendy not recognize Liam, but she doesn’t recognize Cottage Grove, the town where she apparently grew up in, or remember anything about her life for that matter. Amnesia. Wendy’s memory will come back, but no one knows when or how or why, and until she remembers who knocked her out and tossed her into Silver Lake for dead, she will have no choice but to rely on the one man she trusts didn’t do it—Liam Doren. But Liam has secrets of his own. He’s a wolf shifter, after all, and the closer these two get, the harder it becomes for him to hide it from her.

Mentality Monsters: How Jürgen Klopp Took Liverpool FC From Also-Rans To Champions of Europe
Paul Tomkins - 2019
Flares and smoke bombs spread a red mist across Merseyside, explosions of sparkling confetti shot again and again from an air cannon into the blue skies, as the best part of a million Liverpool fans thronged the route, sitting astride traffic lights and hanging out of windows, risking life and limb to get a glimpse of the returning heroes. Jürgen Klopp, lager bottle in hand – one leg slung over the back of the open-top bus – looked at his clenched fists, then extended one finger, then two – until, one by one, he had counted to six. Another huge grin in the pyro glow, before, half-cut, he almost fell off the back of the bus. Liverpool Football Club, Champions of Europe. For a sixth time. This is the story of how Liverpool went from no-hopers in 2015 to the kings of Europe four years later. * * * Paul Tomkins is the author of over a dozen football books, an academic paper on the role football finances play in success, and the novel The Girl on the Pier. In addition, he was a columnist on the official Liverpool website between 2005 and 2012. In 2009 he set up the website The Tomkins Times. * * * Praise for Paul Tomkins and The Tomkins Times: "Phenomenal. Absolutely quintessential reading for Liverpool fans." Redmen TV. “The Tomkins Times is an indispensable website whose diagnosis of all things Liverpool is beyond compare.” LFCHistory.net "Perhaps the most intelligent guide to LFC available on the internet." The Independent on Sunday “Golddust analysis”, John Sinnott, BBC “[Football analysis] is best left to the professionals, like the admirable Mr Tomkins.” The Daily Telegraph
