Book Description
Sometimes event planning can be a load of balls. Twenty two year old Stevie needs to prove to everyone that she's a grown up. So she throws herself into her dream of becoming an event planner by agreeing to organise a fundraising ball in Oxford. Add a rambling house, a committee that can't agree and budget that's far too small: Stevie thinks things can't get worse. Until her childhood crush, her big brother's old housemate, turns up. Tom is working hard to be the success his mother wants him to be. When he realises that the ball his mum and her friends are organising will be run by his friend's baby sister 'poor, needy Stevie', he steps in to avoid disaster. But Stevie is no longer a teenager, she's a disturbingly attractive young woman … and she's not about to let anyone get in her way. Shortlisted for the 2017 Romantic Comedy Award from the Romantic Novelists' Association, Girl Having a Ball is the second standalone novel in Rhoda Baxter's Smart Girls series. Ideal for fans of Mhairi McFarlane or Sue Moorcroft.

Yes?, Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka explores in pictures the joy and sadness that having a special toy can bring. Raschka's signature swirling, impressionistic illustrations and his affectionate story will particularly appeal to young dog lovers and teachers and parents who have children dealing with the loss of something special.

Book Description
Dismissed by the police as mere adjuncts to or gofers for male gangs, girl gang members are in fact often as emotionally closed off and dangerous as their male counterparts. Carrying razor blades in their mouths and guns in their jackets for defense, they initiate drive-by shootings, carry out car jackings, stomp outsiders who stumble onto or dare to enter the neighborhood, viciously retaliate against other gangs and ferociously guard their home turf. But Sikes also captures the differences that distinguish girl gangs-abortion, teen pregnancy and teen motherhood, endless beatings and the humiliation of being forced to have sex with a lineup of male gangbangers during initiation, haphazardly raising kids in a household of drugs and guns with a part-time boyfriend off gangbanging himself. Veteran journalist Gini Sikes spends a year in the ghettos following the lives of several key gang members in South Central Los Angeles, San Antonio, and Milwaukee. In 8 Ball Chicks, we discover the fear and desperate desire for respect and status that drive girls into gangs in the first place--and the dreams and ambitions that occasionally help them to escape the catch-22 of their existence.

Book Description
‘Women should be obscene and not heard’ – John Lennon ‘The only unnatural act is that which you cannot perform' – Alfred Kinsey ‘Fat people are brilliant in bed: if I’m sitting on top of you, who’s going to argue?' – Jo Brand ‘What most women want is not a man who ties you to the bed but one who unstacks the dishes while you watch The Great British Bake Off’ – Harriet Harman Throughout the centuries, talk of sex has proved irresistible, producing wide-ranging responses, contradictory remarks, denouncements and appraisals; something seen as harmless by one is often condemned as damnable by another. Whatever your sexual preferences, Talking Dirty is a hugely entertaining treasury of wit on this endlessly entertaining and controversial topic.

Book Description
INTRODUCTION My name is David Albert Francis. However, I am known in the music world as “Panama” Francis, a name that was given to me by Roy Eldridge when I joined his band in 1939. I was born in Miami, Florida, on December 21, 1918, four days short of becoming a Christmas present to my parents. I must tell you that I am a stutterer. Sometime, when I get excited or try to make a point, my voice goes up about two octaves. I come across to some people as being angry but, believe me, this [what?] is how I get the words to flow. My facial expression might appear to you to be an angry expression. What is happening is that I am concentrating on getting the words to come out, without interruptions. I am sick now from twenty years of life on the board, riding on a bus for hours on end, eating unhealthy (and sometimes unsanitary?) food, and traveling 300 to 500 miles at a time without a bathroom break. The current health of bodies of my fellow musicians and I bear witness to the pain and suffering we experienced on the road. I am among many, many musicians who are paying now for these deplorable conditions on the road. We have serious health ailments that are directly attributable to what we experienced on the road and have negatively impacted the very days of our lives when we should be reaping the benefits of our long years of hard work. We are paying the price.

Book Description
The wrong husband. The right lie. The serendipitous attack. The second chance that’s always been there. I love my job. Being a teacher fills my heart each day. Especially when I meet great people in unexpected places, like the pickup door when parents come to get their kids. That’s where I met Tyler. He’s the one who saw it happen, a year ago, but neither of us knows it…yet. He’s also the one who saves my life, but neither of us knows that yet, either. If only I’d met him sooner. If only I knew the right choices to make, then. Will his voice bring me back before it’s too late? *** Sleep? What’s that? Sure, my job and my business keep me busy, but I always make time for family. Then I meet Ripley, a teacher with a busted car and an a-hole husband, and I find myself lying to her, so I don’t make the same mistake twice. But it comes back to bite me at the worst time, and I can’t take it back. That’s when I find out the truth about Ripley. That’s when I find out things that I can’t un-find out. And now I’m stuck. Until that knock at the door comes. And I wish like hell that I knew the truth sooner. Because now it may be too late.
