The Smut Revolution - From Taboo...

Skyler Bosse

There is a reason your pulse quickens when you turn to that one particular scene in a book – the one where tension spills over, where restraint shatters, and where characters surrender to something primal, something undeniable. That moment, the one so many readers secretly crave, is smut. 
Once whispered about behind closed doors, hidden beneath the guise of “guilty pleasures,” smut has clawed its way into mainstream literature, proving that what was once considered taboo is now a genre in its own right. From centuries-old erotic manuscripts to today’s bestselling scorchers, smut has evolved, adapted, and seduced millions along the way. 
But why do we read it? Why do we write it? And why does society continue to both embrace and condemn it in equal measure? 
Each chapter in this book begins with an excerpt – an unfiltered glimpse into the heart of smut – before shifting to the forces that shape it, the way it has been challenged, censored, and celebrated. Some scenes will linger, some may provoke, but all of them exist because smut, at its core, is more than just raw lust – it is a reflection of desire, fantasy, and the ever-changing boundaries of storytelling. 
So, turn the page. But be warned: once you indulge, there is no going back.

Who in the World Was The...

Robin Phillips

Discover the intriguing story of Empress Theodora in this unabridged junior-level audio CD of Robin Phillips's Who in the World Was The Acrobatic Empress?, read by Jim Weiss. The Emperor Justinian could not decide what to do. His people were rioting. An angry mob poured through the streets, looting, setting fires, and destroying houses and taverns. If they reached the palace, they might kill him. Justinian's trusted advisers pressed him to run to the port and sail away, giving up his throne to save his life. He turned and looked at his wife, the wisest person in the room. What would she, the Empress Theodora, urge him to do? This unabridged reading by Jim Weiss of the book is 26 minutes on one audio CD, giving second-grade readers insight into the life of this 6th century ruler. About the series: The classical curriculum introduces even the youngest student to the pleasures of true learning. Elementary students learn history not through predigested textbooks with multiple-choice answers, but through reading the stories of history. Unfortunately, biographies of great men and women of the past are almost all written for older students, limiting the ability of young students to explore history through reading. Libraries are crammed with biographies written for high school students and adults—while beginning readers are provided with a shelf full of junior-level books about football players, NASCAR drivers, and movie stars. Now, Peace Hill Press puts real history back into the grasp of the youngest historians with the Who in the World Biography Series. The entries in the series provide young readers and their parents and teachers with biographies of great men and women of the Middle Ages. Designed to be used as part of The Story of the World curriculum, these biographies give beginning historians in grades 2–4 a chance to explore beyond the textbook. The accompanying book is also available separately.
