  100 Things to Hate Before You Die

  Claudia Stavola

  Comedian Claudia Stavola understands we’re living in sensitive times and the word hate is controversial, so she doesn’t use it loosely. She only uses it for serious infractions like gender reveal parties, guys who wear shorts when it’s forty below, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle.  
  You’ll be thoroughly entertained and in awe of how Stavola’s raucous sarcasm mirrors your inner most thoughts in this hilarious collection of easy-to-read essays. With her witty and insightful observations, she’s like a modern-day George Carlin, except hairier. (Hey, she’s Italian. She was born with a mustache). 
  100 Things to Hate Before You Die is astute, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. Claudia shares her aggravation over a range of topics from mundane things like Fakebook, crappy gift-givers, and ukuleles on talent show auditions, to more thought-provoking topics such as people with no shame, the need for a license to parent, and the death of Eddie Van Halen.  
  Delivered with razor-sharp force, Stavola’s hysterical and unique takes on everyday a**holes makes this not only a great read for comedy lovers, but a must-read.

  Chronicles of a Motorcycle...

  When life gives you lemons, run them over with your dirt bike! 
  After taking the year off to save up money and establish a more portable career, Tiffani Burkett was finally ready to get back on the road and finish her "Round The World" ride that she had started on her 2015 Yamaha FZ-07. Little did she know that getting rid of everything in January of 2020 would be one of the biggest mistakes of her life. Or perhaps one of the biggest opportunities. 
  With her plane grounded, international borders closed, and no home to quarantine in, Tiffani and her travel partner, Hollywood, turned their focus toward the American wilderness, rife with trails and challenges that would entertain even the most advanced dirt bike rider. But, there was just one issue: Despite over a decade of riding on roads and race tracks, Tiffani didn't know the first thing about riding off-road, and learning to ride dirt as an adult presents its own set of mental and physical challenges. But, if she wanted to ride across Siberia one day, it was about time to face her fear, anxiety, and self-doubts that had held her back for all these years by turning the summer into a dirt-bike boot camp. 
  With their old Chevy pickup, a Kawasaki KLX125, a Kawasaki KLX250, and a lot of hope, they set off to the Rocky Mountains to ride some of the greatest trails the USA has to offer, finding dinosaur bones, old mines, beautiful backdrops, and a whole lot of single track and stream crossings along the way. 
  Chronicles of a Motorcycle Gypsy: Dirt Bikes and Dinosaur Bones also includes a full gear list and bike builds for the aspiring dirt bike rider, with lots of pictures for every chapter!

  James I Charles I Commomwealth &...

  Step right up for the most uproariously irreverent chapter of Gilbert Abbott A’Beckett’s Comic History of England—where crowns are comedy props and history’s biggest egos trip over their own dogma! 
  Meet James I, the "Wisest Fool in Christendom," who preached divine right while his pet favorite, the Duke of Buckingham, turned the court into a scandalous farce. Then comes Charles I, whose stubbornness cost him his crown (and his head), thanks to a Parliament with a very sharp grievance list—and a little help from the ill-fated Earl of Stafford. 
  Enter Oliver Cromwell, the Puritan party-pooper who banned Christmas, crushed Ireland, and somehow made republicanism duller than a Sunday sermon. But just when you think the chaos can’t get worse, in stumbles Richard Cromwell, his hapless son, who proved that ruling England was not a hereditary talent. Spoiler: The Republic collapses faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. 
  Narrated with wicked wit by Charles Featherstone, this uproarious installment skewers the Stuarts like a royal roast—where kings are klutzes, parliaments are punchlines, and the only thing sacred is the absurdity of power.

  There’s something uniquely satisfying about stepping outside your door and clipping a sprig of fresh rosemary for your roasted potatoes or plucking a handful of mint to stir into a summer drink. Herb gardening is one of the most rewarding ways to connect with nature, flavor your meals, and surround yourself with scents that calm the mind and uplift the spirit. Whether you're working with a sprawling backyard or a sunny windowsill, growing herbs is an accessible, enriching hobby that brings beauty, flavor, and even wellness into your daily life. 
  This book was written with both beginners and aspiring green thumbs in mind—people who want to grow herbs but aren’t quite sure where to begin. Maybe you’ve tried to keep a basil plant alive on your kitchen counter and it didn’t last the week. Or perhaps you’re dreaming of a lush herb spiral filled with lavender, oregano, and thyme. No matter where you're starting from, this guide will walk you through every step with clarity, encouragement, and practical advice. 
  Herbs are among the easiest plants to grow, yet their uses are incredibly diverse. They elevate meals, support natural remedies, perfume the home, attract pollinators, and even deter garden pests. What’s more, they ask for very little in return—a bit of sunlight, well-drained soil, and the occasional trim. With a little knowledge and care, your herb garden can flourish indoors or out, in containers or raised beds, on a balcony or backyard plot.

  The Sangamon Story - Selected...

  Francis Grierson

  Francis Grierson's, The Valley of Shadows, is truly a lost American classic. Written at the dawn of the twentieth century, the author has remarkably captured his adventures and observations as a child growing up on the prairies of Illinois in the years leading up the Civil War, in a region that was neither North nor South; neither for slavery nor against it; and how their small family farm became an unscheduled stop on the Underground Railroad.Written in an authentic vernacular of the time, and populated by larger than life characters, Grierson has woven a tale of excitement and mystery, set in a second Garden of Eden of wildlife and nature. The prose and dialogue is like Shakespeare of the prairie. It reads like a cross between Tom Sawyer and Uncle Tom's Cabin, and stands out among all of the other books written about that era.What people are saying:“It has a quality not to be found in any other writing about the Civil War;""Its prose is alive, strong, subtle, of warm color, almost overpowering;""No one can read it, without finding new enlightenment about our past.”
