  Covet the Comeback - How a Greek...

  Long before creating Covet by Christos, the world’s leading livestreamer of all things luxury, future founder and CEO Christos Garkinos grew up in Detroit as the gay son of Greek immigrants and started working in his parents’ diner at the age of four. 
  Seeking a bigger life post-college, Garkinos took a job under Richard Branson in the mid-90’s heyday of Virgin Megastores. Beginning to rub shoulders with A-list celebrities, he embarked on a 25-year fashion and media career with many highs and lows. Covet the Comeback lays bare the entire story—as well as all the things that can get swept beneath the red carpet. 
  Garkinos reinvented the resale luxury market and was coined the “Robin Hood of Fashion.” A breakout role on Bravo TV soon followed, as did a lucrative Home Shopping Network stint—though with it came countless coke-fueled parties and the slow descent into addiction. When Garkinos’ hard-earned empire crumbled, he realized he was near financial ruin. 
  By the time Garkinos got sober, the world was in the midst of a global pandemic—and, despite the fact that he was driving around in a Range Rover, he was completely broke. A chance meeting where he uttered the word “trudging” led to him starting a trunk show business that went virtual and has since brought in more than 100 million dollars in sales worldwide. 
  For future business moguls and dreamers of all kinds, Covet the Comeback is far more than a must-read redemption story. It’s a masterclass in learning that we all fall down—and how to get back up in style.

  Con Thien was a United States Marine Corps firebase that was the scene of fierce combat for months on end during 1967. Staving off attacks and ambushes while suffering from ineffectual leadership from Washington as well as media onslaughts, courageous American Marines protected this crucial piece of land at all costs. They would hold Con Thien, but many paid the ultimate price. By the end of the war, more than 1,400 Marines had died and more than 9,000 sustained injuries. 
   
   
    
  For eight months, James P. Coan's five-tank platoon was assigned to Con Thien while attached to various Marine infantry battalions. The author kept a diary recording the thoughts, fears, and frustrations. Time in the Barrel offers an authentic firsthand account of the daily nightmare that was Con Thien. With authentic depictions of combat, it allows listeners to fully grasp the enormity of the fierce struggle for Con Thien. 
   
   
    
  More than a retelling of military movements, Coan's engrossing narratives focus on the sheer sacrifice and misery of one Marine's experience in Vietnam. Through his eyes, we experience the abysmal conditions the Marines endured, from monsoon rainstorms to the constant threat of impending attack. Climatic moments in history are captured through the rare, personal perspective of one particularly astute and observant participant.

  Notes for My Eulogist is not a book about dying or even being dead. It is a love story for life - an articulate and frequently poetic celebration of our differences, our similarities, and the common experiences that unite us as human beings. 
  It is a book about telling our stories, out loud, as we live them. The storytelling is simple and approachable, but the language is lush and rendered in passages you will want to read over and over, and memorable lines that will echo in your mind long after you close the book. 
  Inside you will find lots of short and funny stories, relatable and revealing anecdotes, and a bit of something for everyone. It is as much a conversation with the author as it is a memoir. 
  Whether you read this collection straight through or in pieces, take your time - there is a lot of life to be found in these pages.
