Summary

The Sun Also Rises is a novel by Ernest Hemingway, first published in 1926. Set in the 1920s, it follows a group of American and British expatriates who travel from Paris to the festival of San Fermín in Pamplona, Spain. The story revolves around Jake Barnes, a journalist and World War I veteran, whose injuries from the war have left him unable to have sex, and his romantic entanglements with Lady Brett Ashley, a beautiful British woman who has fully embraced the sexual freedom the era has given her. The novel explores themes of love, disillusionment, masculinity, and the lost generation in the aftermath of World War I. Throughout the narrative, the characters engage in heavy drinking, fighting, and aimless wandering, reflecting the aimlessness and moral ambiguity of their lives. The Sun Also Rises, whilst initally met with mixed reviews, is now considered one of Hemingway's greatest works and a defining novel of the Lost Generation literary movement.

    From a Nottingham alleyway to a global empire, Threads is the story of a truly unique British fashion icon. Read by Bill Nighy, this audiobook includes an exclusive interview between the actor and Sir Paul Smith.‘I always say that you can find inspiration in everything. And if you can't, look again’ – Sir Paul SmithSir Paul’s journey has been anything but conventional: from leaving school at fifteen with a dream of being a professional racing cyclist to a life-altering accident that would change everything. After meeting the love of his life and immersing himself in the exciting new world of the 1960s London art and fashion scene, he would go on to build a global fashion empire that started off as a tiny shop tucked behind a dark, damp corridor in Nottingham.For the first time, and with his signature wit, Paul shares candid memories of a life in style, including what it was like to dress legends including David Bowie, Daniel Day-Lewis, Giorgio Armani and Sir Alex Ferguson; how he fought to keep his brand independent in a world of globalized homogeneity; and why, after five decades of success, you can still find him on the shopfloor every Saturday meeting his customers.Guided by his father’s advice of working hard and repairing everything by hand, Threads is more than a fashion memoir. It is a masterclass in how to stay curious, stay independent and always look for the extraordinary in the everyday.'Paul is a Great British Icon and this is an iconic book.

    A Thrilling Lost Chapter of Mob Rule
Western Pennsylvania's New Kensington was in the grips of Mafia control throughout the 1950s, with a bevy of bookie joints, gambling casinos and brothels. An outgrowth of the Pittsburgh mob, New Kensington's Costa Nostra ordered a group of Mafiosi to break into a National Guard station in Ohio and steal a shipment of weapons. The guns were destined for Fidel Castro, who was waging guerrilla war in Cuba. The Pittsburgh Mafia was hoping to get on Castro's good side if he won the war to secure the reopening of gambling casinos. From a daring heist in Canada to Swiss bank accounts and CIA informants, this infamous gunrunning scheme was a high-speed saga of international intrigue. Join author Richard Gazarik as he presents a harrowing historical narrative of the criminal underworld of Western Pennsylvania.

    Mike and his wife, Barbara, moved to Lincoln, Illinois, in 1972. The town of 17,000 was charming, friendly, and safe. As employees of Lincoln College, a small, private junior college, they quickly grew to enjoy the subtle pleasures of small-town living. Then the campus was hit with a series of burglaries and a student disappeared. Finally, the murders began. This is Mike Hartnett’s personal story, memories that have taken him more than forty years to write. This is not a true crime exposé or a who-dunnit mystery. This is simply a story about one man on the periphery of a series of events that devastate a community for a time. It is a story about the guilt that lingers and the questions that remain. 
About the Author: 
Mike Hartnett was a retired high school English/Speech teacher and business journalist (magazine columnist and editor and newsletter publisher), winning awards from the American Society of Business Press Editors. He led a memoir-writing group for the Douglas County Senior Citizen Center and was a co-leader of a men’s writing group at the Douglas County Jail. 
     Mike is the co-author of a play, Worthy of the Name, which was presented at Chicago’s Cultural Affairs Center, and a collaborator of a readers’ theater production, Prose & Cons, Voices From Behind Bars.

    Not Your Mother's Mystic is a raw, fearless memoir about spiritual awakening in the middle of a seemingly ordinary life, where profound transformation doesn't begin with seeking, but with surrender. 
Kathryn Brewer had done everything “right.” She built a stable career in corporate finance, raised two kids, paid the mortgage, and followed all the unspoken rules. From the outside, her life looked secure. But under the surface, she was unraveling: exhausted, unseen, and spiritually starving. 
Then came the crack in the façade: a vivid visitation dream that jolted her into a new reality. What followed wasn’t a peaceful evolution. It was a full-on spiritual ambush. One that began in dreams and continued in ordinary moments, like folding laundry on a Tuesday. And it didn’t come quietly. It demanded everything. 
With brutal honesty and defiant humor, Kathryn shares her path from burnout and disconnection to awakening as an evidential medium, a woman who helps others reconnect with lost loved ones and rediscover their own intuitive power. 
This is not a tale of instant enlightenment or spiritual gloss. It’s a story for women in the messy middle. For those who know deep down that they’ve outgrown the life they were told to want. For those who’ve glimpsed something sacred in the chaos and dared to believe there might be more. 
Along the way, Kathryn explores radical delusion: the audacious, sometimes reckless-looking choice to believe in yourself in a society set on keeping you small. It’s the kind of belief that disrupts your life in all the right ways and insists on a new future. 
Not Your Mother's Mystic is for misfits, magic-makers, burned-out overachievers, and women who can’t keep faking fine. It’s for those who’ve done everything they were supposed to and are still asking, “Is this it?” 
This book speaks to women navigating awakening, motherhood, burnout, mediumship, grief, identity collapse, and the terrifying freedom of becoming who they were always meant to be.

The Jacobite movement was responsible for the '45 Uprising, one of the most decisive times in Scottish history. The suffering following the battle of Culloden in 1746 still evokes emotion.
Less well known of is his return to London in 1750 incognito. It was there he converted to Protestantism. He was often unwelcome in Europe after the failure of the uprising and came to hate any mention of Scotland and his lost chance.
In this book, follow the route taken by Charles' forces on their doomed march and discover the story behind the places and landscapes of his life.
