The narrative blends autobiographical elements with detailed historical context, painting a vivid picture of the challenges faced by lawmen during a time marked by lawlessness and violence. Gillett'Äôs prose is both engaging and descriptive, seamlessly weaving thrilling anecdotes with reflections on morality and justice within a rugged frontier. This work not only captures the excitement of the Texas Rangers'Äô exploits but also reflects on the evolving nature of crime and law enforcement in America'Äôs southwest. James B. Gillett, a former ranger himself, brings unparalleled authenticity to his work, drawing upon his personal experiences in the field. Born in the late 19th century, Gillett'Äôs life was shaped by the complexities of frontier justice and the burgeoning societal changes of the era. His tenure with the Texas Rangers provided him with unique insights into the cultural dynamics of Texas, and his ability to convey these narratives stems from a genuine commitment to understanding and documenting the law enforcement challenges of his time. Readers interested in American history, the evolution of law enforcement, or exhilarating adventure tales will find "Six Years With the Texas Rangers" an illuminating and captivating read. Gillett'Äôs notable storytelling skills not only entertain but also educate readers about a pivotal period in Texas history, making this work an indispensable addition to the literature on this era.

    A humorous and insightful look into what advice works, what doesn’t, and what it means to transform yourself, by the co-hosts of the popular By the Book podcast. 
    In each episode of their podcast By the Book, Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer take a deep dive into a different self-help book, following its specific instructions, rules, and advice to the letter. From diet and productivity to decorating to social interactions, they try it all, record themselves along the way, then share what they’ve learned with their devoted and growing audience of fans who tune in. 
    Before they began their podcast, Jolenta wanted to believe the promises of self-help books, while Kristen was very much the skeptic. They embraced their differences of opinion, hoping they’d be good for laughs and downloads. But in the years since launching the By the Book, they’ve come to realize their show is about much more than humor. In fact, reading and following each book’s advice has actually changed and improved their lives. Thanks to the show, Kristen penned the Amish romance novel she’d always joked about writing, traveled back to her past lives, and she broached some difficult conversations with her husband about their marriage. Jolenta finally memorized her husband’s phone number, began tracking her finances, and fell in love with cutting clutter.  
    In How to Be Fine, Jolenta and Kristen synthesize the lessons and insights they’ve learned and share their experiences with everyone. How to Be Fine is a thoughtful look at the books and practices that have worked, real talk on those that didn’t, and a list of philosophies they want to see explored in-depth. The topics they cover include: 
    Getting off your device 
    Engaging in positive self-talk 
    Downsizing 
    Admitting you're a liar 
    Meditation 
    Going outside 
    Getting in touch with your emotions 
    Seeing a therapist 
    Part memoir, part prescriptive handbook, this honest, funny, and heartfelt guide is like a warm soul-baring conversation with your closest and smartest friends. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    Covering her life and sixty-year career from Sonny & Cher to show-stopping solo performer, award-winning actress, fashion icon, and beyond, this is a glorious retrospective of one of the world’s most enduring entertainers, Cher. Featuring a foreword by Cyndi Lauper!   Commemorating six decades since her first #1 hit in 1965, I Got You Babe captures Cher’s one-of-a-kind life. Written by award-winning writer and editor Annie Zaleski, this celebration of the fearless, down-to-earth “Goddess of Pop” explores key moments in her life and career in words and photos. Among the topics covered:  Her 50-year friendship with fellow diva Tina Turner, which began in 1975 when they performed “Shame, Shame, Shame” together.  Her story of creating a “revenge dress” with designer Bob Mackie for the 1986 Oscars after being snubbed for a nomination for her performance in Mask. The night in 1989 she made the Navy wish it could “Turn Back Time” by arriving at the USS Missouri to film her video not wearing the coveralls they expected but a barely-there fishnet bodysuit.  Cher’s unfiltered social media presence. From classic posts like “BREAKING NEWS: IM BEING BURIED IN MY FISHNETS” to weighing in on issues she believes in.  When Cher learned about Kaavan, dubbed “the world’s loneliest elephant.” The creature was kept in chains in a zoo in Pakistan and forced to perform for decades. After fans brought the problem to her attention, Cher eventually helped get him moved in 2021, and her efforts were captured in a Smithsonian documentary.  Amid these moments are photo after photo of some of the most eye-popping outfits ever worn in life and on stage. As an avid clothes horse who wasn’t afraid to wear a see-through dress to the Met Gala in 1974, Cher’s many looks will be given their due in this engaging, career-spanning retrospective.
