  Emmanuel Carrère is a renowned writer. After decades of emotional upheaval, he has begun to live successfully―he is healthy; he works; he loves. He practices meditation, striving to observe the world without evaluating it. In this state of heightened awareness, he sets out for a ten-day silent retreat in the French heartland, leaving his phone, his books, and his daily life behind. But he’s also gathering material for his next book, which he thinks will be a pleasant, useful introduction to yoga.
  
  Four days later, there’s a tap on the window: something has happened. Forced to leave the retreat early, he returns to a Paris in crisis. Life is derailed. His city is in turmoil. His work-in-progress falters. His marriage begins to unravel, as does his entanglement with another woman. He wavers between opposites―between self-destruction and self-control, sanity and madness, elation and despair. The story he has told about himself falls away. And still, he continues to live.
  
  This is a book about one man’s desire to get better, and to be better. It is laced with doubt, animated by the dangerous interplay between what is fiction and what is real. Loving, humorous, harrowing and profound, Yoga hurls us towards the outer edges of consciousness, where, finally, we can see things as they really are.

  For everyone who's dreamed of quitting their job, selling it all, and traveling the world, this memoir is for you!  
  With "One-Way Ticket," Author Suzanne Wentley, a digital nomad and professional journalist, invites the reader on five sensational years of non-stop international travel. It all begins ten years ago, when this thirty-something leaves behind her plush office job, fully furnished home, and stable community of friends. With her orange cat Penelope, she embarks on a thirty-two-foot sailboat and eventually earns her US Coast Guard captain's license.  
  Then, she divests down to a single backpack for more travels. She builds out a tiny home on wheels and eventually returns to the pack to continue her whirlwind adventure of a lifetime. It's the stuff dreams are made of, but Wentley's keen insights and colorful details show the real-life challenges of her rare and inspirational lifestyle. Throughout the Caribbean, South America, Oceania, and Asia, she learns how to work online, meets unforgettable friends, has her fair share of scares, dates more than her fair share of troublesome guys, and always figures out how to keep shining brightly.  
  "One-Way Ticket" is an inside look at what it's like to be a modern, international, solo female traveler. A true page-turner, it's packed with personality, wisdom, honest emotion, and creativity. She shows you how it can be done, day by day, as a trailblazer in the new reality of remote work. Wentley shares how she's always and never on vacation, from all over the world.  
  As readers discover, it's not easy to find yourself flying across the sky like a meteor. But it's possible—and a lot of fun.

  Scoundrels to the Hoosegow -...

  “Morley Swingle’s Scoundrels to the Hoosegow is not only consistently fascinating, but there is much to be learned from it about life in and out of an American courtroom. I highly recommend this engrossing book.” Vincent Bugliosi, Author of Helter Skelter  
  In Scoundrels to the Hoosegow, a veteran prosecutor who is also a terrific storyteller shares more than thirty legal stories drawn from real life. In cases ranging from tragic to hilarious, Morley Swingle offers a behind-the-scenes look at the justice system from crime scenes to courtrooms. 
  Swingle takes readers on an enjoyable romp through crime and punishment.  Whether describing a drunk who frees dogs from the pound or a serial killer who saves lives in his day job, he combines true crime and legal analysis with a healthy dose of humor—and shares the occasional “Perry Mason moment." 
  “If Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities captured the essence of criminal practice in a major metropolis, then Scoundrels surely captures the essence of that practice in small town and rural America.” Robert H. Dierker, Jr. 
  “Swingle has written an interesting, easily approachable—and rare—account of daily life as a prosecuting attorney. I am unaware of any prosecutor who writes better than Swingle. The book is refreshing. Mark Twain almost certainly would have enjoyed it.” Steve Weinberg, St. Louis Post-Dispatch 
  “Morley Swingle is a terrific writer and an even better entertainer. Lawyers and non-lawyers alike will enjoy being along for this informative and entertaining trip to the hoosegow.” Forward, Reviews of Indie Books 
  “Those who read Ann Rule, Joe McGinniss or John Grisham will enjoy this book.” Lithuanian Librarian

  P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining tuxedo Jeeves.  Collected here are two of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" creations - ten short stories from the anthology "Carry On, Jeeves" and the complete novel "Right Ho, Jeeves" - each a master class in comedic writing. Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.  These two books are presented here in their original and unabridged form.
