Book Description
With the verve and bite of Ottessa Moshfegh and the barbed charm of Nancy Mitford, Marlowe Granados’s stunning debut brilliantly captures a summer of striving in New York City. Isa Epley, all of twenty-one years old, is already wise enough to understand that the purpose of life is the pursuit of pleasure. She arrives in New York with her newly blond best friend looking for adventure. They have little money, but that’s hardly going to stop them. By day, the girls sell clothes on a market stall, pinching pennies for their Bed-Stuy sublet and bodega lunches. By night, they weave between Brooklyn, the Upper East Side, and the Hamptons among a rotating cast of celebrities, artists, Internet entrepreneurs, stuffy intellectuals, and bad-mannered grifters. Resources run ever tighter and the strain tests their friendship as they try to convert social capital into something more lasting than precarious gigs as au pairs, nightclub hostesses, paid audience members, and aspiring foot fetish models. Through it all, Isa’s bold, beguiling voice captures the precise thrill of cultivating a life of glamour and intrigue as she juggles paying her dues with skipping out on the bill. Happy Hour is a novel about getting by and having fun in a system that wants you to do neither.

Book Description
"An Airline Pilot's Final Flight to Sobriety," is a narrative memoir and takes place on a metaphorical flight with the landing at the Final Destination, the author's two year sobriety date. The chapters: "Take off," "Climb," "Cruise," "Descent," "Approach," and "Landing" correspond to his life's journey with alcohol, amidst flying in the US Navy, US Customs, and a major US airline for four decades. His "flight plan" uncovers the many reasons why we drink, why we lose altitude in our lives, and how to jettison alcohol to gain altitude and soar in the Jet Stream. Come along on the flight, the Jetway doors are closing in five minutes!

Book Description
Motherhood -- it's not for wimps. Once the zigzagging hormones and endless, bleary-eyed exhaustion of the first year have worn off, you're left with the startling realization that your tiny, immobile bundle has become a rampaging toddler, complete with his or her very own, very forceful personality. Just as Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay helped debunk decades of parenting myths to offer honest advice for the first year, Naptime Is the New Happy Hour is a voice of reason for every woman facing questions such as: Will refined sugar make my toddler's head explode? Is it wrong to have a cocktail at two in the afternoon? And what exactly is a Backyardigan? With biting wit and boatloads of common sense, Stefanie Wilder-Taylor addresses all these concerns and more. Whether it's planning easy outings that are fun for both of you (fact: your child will find the local Target just as scintillating as the Guggenheim), dishing the dirt on preschool TV (those mothers who swear their kids don't watch television? Liars or psychos, every one), or perfecting the art of the play date, readers will find advice, anecdotes, and a reassuring sense of camaraderie to help them survive -- and even thrive -- during each hilarious, frustrating, and amazing moment.

Book Description
I left my recently screwed up life in NYC and never looked back, that is, of course until my new boyfriend's sister decided to get married. Ghosts from my past come to haunt me, but I can't let Brooks into this part of me yet, if ever. I don't want to leave him or the sleepy small town I've grown to love, but it might be the only option I have to keep us both safe . She lit up my life like a million fireflies, but in the wake of Persephone's absence, I am left feeling burnt by her betrayal. She was gone without a trace, without a crumb, and worst of all, without telling me she was leaving. Her lies continue to unravel, forcing me to consider if I ever really knew her at all. I have to choose between my run-away girlfriend and my family, but something is just not adding up and I'm going to figure out what.

Book Description
As a magazine reporter early in the Vietnam War, Tony Plattner wrote a highly acclaimed fourteen-part series for Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine. It was noted for its accuracy and forecasts of a long-term involvement if the Johnson administration did not change its inept strategy. With his integrity at risk, he fought back tenaciously against the Defense Department’s attempt to convict him first as a criminal under the Espionage Act and later to cashier him prematurely from the Marine Reserve. The resulting decade-long battle was met with ingenuity, grit, determination and support from many sources and resulted in ultimate resolution in his favor.

Book Description
Part history, part true crime thriller, part first-hand investigation into the inner workings of the U.S. Justice Department, and part polemic, Drug Conspiracy: “We Only Want the Blacks”—My Persecution by the United States Government is the story of one man’s attempt to navigate the labyrinthine bureaucratic system that oppresses marginalized people and bullies innocent victims into submission. It also tells the story of one man’s refusal to yield to the yoke of an out of control machine, the local color of a city in the Heart of Dixie, and the strange logic of the War on Drugs that is eroding the soul of this country.

Book Description
This book tells of a young couple who struggled against the odds to introduce a seaplane service to New Zealand’s Marlborough Sounds, and to members of the travelling public between the South and North Islands. Locals looked askance at what was a totally new concept to the area, but the aeroplanes soon became accepted, especially after their lifesaving use in emergencies was recognised by people in the far-flung reaches of the outer Sounds. Russell Smith, owner and pilot, writes of years of incredible happenings, some adventurous, many humorous, and some just plain harrowing. One account bordering on surreal, occurred at a boat ramp where he was surrounded by nine policemen, accused of being a UFO from outer space! Unbelievable, but true, as is the whole book.
