    Setting up a babysitter service is a way for Harvey to make some money, but a call coming in when no one is available leaves him with little choice but to take the job himself. The house he arrives at is no different from the others on a quiet street, but he enters to find out there’s no child. The occupant then reveals his real reason for making the call. A vampire with a babysitter fetish seems insane, but Harvey gives in to a torrid encounter with Mr. Doyle to find out just how sexy a vampire can be.

    A successful delivery of steers end with Cody making his way back across the open prairie alone. A late start setting out necessitates overnight camping and the howls he hears turn out not to be buffalo wolves.

He’s not complaining at first when he bumps into Conrad, but a kiss with a handsome guy in a back alley turns crazy when two more men come out of the darkness. There’s no escape when the three men reveal what they really are, but giving in completely brings on as much pleasure as pain when vampire bites turn him on in a way he never expected.

    The United States of English -...

    The story of how English became American—and how it became Southern, Bostonian, Californian, African American, Chicano, elite, working-class, urban, rural, and everything in between 
     
     
     
    By the time of the Revolution, the English that Americans spoke was recognizably different from the British variety. Americans added dozens of new words to the language, either borrowed from Native Americans (raccoon, persimmon, caucus) or created from repurposed English (backwoods, cane brake, salt lick). Americans had their own pronunciations (bath rhymed with hat, not hot) and their own spelling (honor, not honour), not to mention a host of new expressions that grew out of the American landscape and culture (blaze a trail, back track, pull up stakes). Americans even invented their own slang, like stiff as a ringbolt to mean drunk. American English has continued to grow and change ever since. 
     
     
     
    The United States of English tells the engrossing tale of how the American language evolved over four hundred years, explaining both how and why it changed and which parts of the "mother tongue" it preserved (I guess was heard in the British countryside long before it became a typical Americanism). Plentiful examples of the American vernacular, past and present, bring the language to life and make for an engaging as well as enlightening listen.

    A "quirky, endlessly entertaining" look at the surprising history of the pigeon (Simon Winchester). 
     
     
      
    Domesticated since the dawn of man, pigeons have been used as crucial communicators in war by every major historical superpower from ancient Egypt to the United States and are credited with saving thousands of lives. They have been worshipped as fertility goddesses and revered as symbols of peace. Charles Darwin relied heavily on pigeons to help formulate and support his theory of evolution. Yet today they are reviled as "rats with wings." 
     
     
      
    To research this lively history of the humble pigeon, the author traveled across the United States and Europe to meet with pigeon fanciers and pigeon haters in a quest to find out how we came to misunderstand one of mankind’s most helpful and steadfast companions. Pigeons captures a Brooklyn man's quest to win the Main Event (the pigeon world's equivalent of the Kentucky Derby), as well as a convention dedicated to breeding the perfect bird. The author participates in a live pigeon shoot where entrants pay $150; he tracks down Mike Tyson, the nation's most famous pigeon lover; he spends time with Queen Elizabeth's Royal Pigeon Handler; and he sheds light on a radical "pro-pigeon underground" in New York City. In Pigeons, Andrew D. Blechman reveals for the first time the remarkable story behind this seemingly unremarkable bird.
