Summary

The Bling Ring by Vanity Fair writer Nancy Jo Sales is an in-depth expose of a band of beautiful, privileged teenagers who were caught breaking into celebrity homes and stealing millions of dollars worth of valuables. 
With a list of victims that reads like a "Who's Who" of young Hollywood, including Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton, and Rachel Bilson, The Bling Ring is the stuff of writers' imaginations—with one exception—it's a true story. 
The media asked: Why would a group of kids who already had designer clothes, money, cars, and status take such risks? Award-winning journalist Nancy Jo Sales found the answer: They did it because they could. And because it was easy. 
The Bling Ring: How a Gang of Fame-Obsessed Teens Ripped Off Hollywood and Shocked the World is a shocking look at the seedy world of the real young Hollywood.
Available since: 05/21/2014.

    Kilee Brookbank was a typical sixteen-year-old, but her last ordinary day erupted when an explosion consumed her house, burning forty-five percent of her body and sending her to the brink of death. After thirty-eight days of surgeries, skin grafts, physical therapy, and excruciating pain, Kilee had to discover how to live again-and she did, facing her journey with determination, strength, and a positive attitude that has inspired people in her community and from around the world. Now a thriving college student, Kilee has become an author, advocate, and philanthropist, helping other survivors through her charity, the Kilee Gives Back Foundation, and her partnership with the Shriners Hospitals and their Be Burn Aware campaign. Told together by Kilee and her mom, this updated edition of their 2016 Benjamin Franklin Award winning memoir is a story of recovery, healing, and hope, reminding us that we're never powerless, never alone, and that each challenge we face helps make us the people we're meant to be.

    If keeping secrets is integral to the human soul, so is
the desire to uncover the secrets of others. The delicate balance between
preserving, revealing, and discovering secrets breeds conflict and the power of
knowledge. Yet, as we learn to harness this power and manage these conflicts,
we develop trust and discretion.
What secrets will you uncover in this anthology of 26
short mysteries, thrillers & memoirs?
Written by members of The Ohio Writers' Association, in their 3rd collaboration for audiobook production with members of the Ohio Audiobook Narrators. Made possible in part by the Ohio Arts Council.

    A true story of taming OCD: “Her description of her escalating illness is irreverent, brutally honest, and compelling [and] her successes are inspiring.” —Booklist 
 
It’s like the meanest, wildest monkey running around my head, constantly looking for ways to bite me. That was how Kirsten Pagacz described her OCD to her therapist in their first session when she was well into her thirties. She’d been following orders from this mean taskmaster for twenty years, without understanding why. 
 
The tapping, counting, cleaning, and ordering brought her comfort and structure, two things lacking in her family life. But it never lasted. The loathsome self-talk only intensified, and the rituals she had to perform got more bizarre. By high school, she was anorexic and a substance abuser—common “shadow syndromes” of OCD. By adulthood, she could barely hide her problems and held on to jobs and friends through sheer grit. Help finally came in the form of a miraculously well-timed public service announcement about OCD—at last, her illness had an identity. 
 
After finally learning how to conquer her OCD, Pagacz shares her story—from her traumatic childhood to the escalation of her disorder to her triumph over it—along with knowledge and insight about such techniques as meditation, yoga, cognitive-behavioral therapy, medication, and exposure therapy, to help others leave the OCD circus and live a better life.

    Two books by the greatest translator of Chinese poetry, Arthur Waley (1889-1966) 
Arthur Waley was one of the first great Orientalists, bringing translations and commentaries from China and Japan to the West. This volume combines two of his books, the first investigating how Zen buddhism evolved to produce the kinds of artwork that it does, and how the artistic practice is also a spiritual practice. 
Zen Buddhism can often be confusing to the outsider. This book explores the evolution of Zen, from it's origins and early masters through to it's influence in the modern world on art and literature. 
This second part contains a selection of poems by China's greatest poet, Li Po, of whom it was said "Li Po’s style is swift, yet never careless; lively, yet never informal. But his intellectual outlook was low and sordid. In nine poems out of ten he deals with nothing but wine or women." 
"The world acclaims Li Po as its master poet. I grant that his works show unparalleled talent and originality, but not one in ten contains any moral reflection or deeper meaning." 
Ebook contains images of Li Po taken from manuscripts around his time, and over the centuries as he became recognised as one of China's great poets. 
Book editions include classical illustrations of and calligraphy by Li Po
