The Yahoo Boys - Love Deception...

Carlos Barragán

A closely observed work of narrative nonfiction about four young romance scammers in Lagos, Nigeria, as they struggle to get by in one of the world's most unequal cities. Ikotun, one of Lagos’s poorest neighborhoods, lies ten miles and a world away from the towers and beaches at the heart of Nigeria’s megacity. By day, the market vibrates with the sound of traders hawking their wares. By night, thousands of workers of another kind begin their shifts in bars and crumbling apartments: these are the Yahoo Boys. Mostly men in their teens and twenties, many turning to drugs to stay awake as they chat with “clients” overseas, the Yahoo Boys are online romance scammers. Whether impersonating male celebrities or anonymous young women, each year they catfish millions of dollars from victims. Some have attained the status of folk heroes, while thousands more “cash out” only to lose it all.

We meet Biggy and Chibuike, each struggling with the temptations of fast money; Azeez, a tailor’s apprentice caught between the lure of crime and Nigeria’s economic crisis; and Richie, who is convinced that he’s responsible for the death of a woman in Kentucky he manipulated online for years. Written with sensitivity and nuance, and posing difficult questions about reparations and the Western loneliness epidemic, The Yahoo Boys is this generation’s Behind the Beautiful Forevers—the work of a blazing new journalistic talent.

Introversion - Harnessing Quiet...

Coral Nunez

We live in an extroverted culture that celebrates the outspoken, the assertive, and the constantly visible. Yet, within this fast-paced and noisy environment, introverts possess a unique, quiet power that has the potential to change the world. This book is an invitation to explore that power, to embrace the strengths that come from stillness, reflection, and thoughtful action.
Introversion is often misunderstood. It is more than just a preference for solitude or a resistance to socializing—it is a deeply ingrained aspect of personality that influences how introverts think, feel, and interact with the world around them. While extroverts may draw energy from social interactions and thrive in bustling environments, introverts find their energy in solitude, introspection, and meaningful, one-on-one connections. This quiet energy, often invisible and overlooked, holds tremendous potential.
The power of quiet comes from the ability to observe, listen, and reflect. Introverts tend to be deep thinkers, careful decision-makers, and innovative problem-solvers. Their capacity for empathy and their tendency to think before they speak makes them invaluable contributors to any conversation, organization, or cause. Yet, in a world that often values speed over thought, action over reflection, and volume over substance, introverts may feel pressured to conform to expectations that are not in alignment with their natural tendencies. This pressure can lead to feelings of frustration, inadequacy, and even isolation.

Orkney Days - An Island Life

Christine Muir

This is the charming and poignant account of twenty-five years spent in Orkney. After her marriage to an islander, Christine Muir went to live on the tiny island of North Ronaldsay, where she and her husband brought up their four children and ran a small croft.
Following the seasons though the year, Orkney Days is full of observations of the natural world at their doorstep. Beautiful descriptions of the island and its flora and fauna – from wildflowers and medicinal herbs to seals and seabirds – are mingled with memories of a young family growing up and the rhythms of daily life far from the bustle of the modern world. There is much too about the work involved in running their croft and the cattle and sheep that are its mainstay, about the traditions and lore of the island which stretch back over countless generations, and about the modern developments which changed it forever.

American Fascism - How the GOP...

Brynn Tannehill

Trump is running for President again and American democracy is on the ropes and teetering on the brink of authoritarianism controlled by theocrats and oligarchs. With its cherished institutions hobbled, political norms trampled, guardrails severely damaged, and body politic divided by chasms of race and geography, can the U.S. survive another Trump administration dedicated to establishing de facto single party rule? In this compelling, comprehensive analysis, Brynn Tannehill draws on her expertise in studying the collapse of weak democracies around the globe and her previous research in law, political science, economics and right-wing populism to explain the trajectory of how we got here and the current threats we face. Most importantly, she analyzes what the characteristics of fascism are, if they are applicable to the base of the GOP today, and what that means for us should Trump succeed in establishing permanent minoritarian rule. American Fascism is a surgical analysis of 250 years of struggle for democracy in America and a prescient prognosis of what’s to come if we do not heed Tannehill’s warnings and advice.
