Book Description
Mr. and Mrs. Jackson had been searching for their dream home for many years with little luck. Mr. Jackson thought that if they were to look in the countryside area instead of the city they could get more land and house for their buck. Mr. Jackson was a handyman, so if the house needed repairs he knew how to fix it up back to its original beauty. He asked his wife to come along with him to look at some houses in the country after he got off from work today. Of course, Mrs. Jackson said yes. Mr. Jackson arrived home around 3 p.m. Mrs. Jackson was waiting for her husband in the living room watching her favorite soap opera. Mr. Jackson entered the front door of his house, and called out to his wife saying, "Betty, are you ready to go house hunting?" "Yes, Mike, I'm ready to go," said his beautiful wife Betty. Mike and Betty got into the car and drove out to the country in search of their dream home. Mike and Betty were having a good time driving in the country and seeing the beautiful green pastures, cattle, and beautiful mansions. The weather was warm and sunny with a slight breeze, just a little over seventy degrees. The Jacksons couldn't have picked a more perfect day to search for their dream home. "Slow down honey, I think this may be the one," said Betty. Mike pulled into the front gate of the mansion. Put the car in park, got out of the car opened the gate, got back in the car, and drove to the front of the mansion. Mike put the car in park shut off the engine and said, "Darling, if the outside of the mansion looks as good as the inside we'll do everything in our power to get this home," said Mike. "Mike, I'm so excited I almost lost my breath when my eyes gazed upon this beautiful mansion," replied Betty. Mike got out of the car went over and opened Betty's door and went to the front door to see if anyone was home. Just as Mike knocked on the door, there was an envelope next to his foot. Mike picked up the envelope, opened it, and read it aloud to his wife Betty. "The letter says, the owner is out of the country and if you are inquiring about purchasing the mansion call this number and the realtor will be happy to show you the mansion," said Mike. "Call the realtor, Mike, maybe he can still come by. It’s only four o'clock," said Betty. Mike gave the realtor a call. The realtor said he was only fifteen minutes away and would be happy to show the Jacksons the home. "Mike darling, I'm so glad you got a hold of the realtor," said Betty. "Well since it's going to take the realtor about fifteen minutes to get here why don't we look at the backyard and the rest of the property," said Mike. "That's fine with me," said Betty. Betty and Mike took a stroll around the property and liked what they saw. Betty gave her husband a kiss on the cheek and said," I'm glad you decided to find a home in the country instead of the city. I hope we get this place. I feel like we belong here," said Betty. Betty and Mike were unaware of the evil inside the mansion that was waiting to devour them both.

Book Description
*The basis for the wonderfully funny and moving TV series developed by Amy Poehler and Scout Productions* A charming, practical, and unsentimental approach to putting a home in order while reflecting on the tiny joys that make up a long life. In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning “death” and städning meaning “cleaning.” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children’s art projects). Digging into her late husband’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.

Book Description
The most pivotal and yet least understood event of Frank Lloyd Wright’s celebrated life involves the brutal murders in 1914 of seven adults and children dear to the architect and the destruction by fire of Taliesin, his landmark residence, near Spring Green, Wisconsin. Unaccountably, the details of that shocking crime have been largely ignored by Wright’s legion of biographers—a historical and cultural gap that is finally addressed in William Drennan’s exhaustively researched Death in a Prairie House: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Murders. In response to the scandal generated by his open affair with the proto-feminist and free love advocate Mamah Borthwick Cheney, Wright had begun to build Taliesin as a refuge and "love cottage" for himself and his mistress (both married at the time to others). Conceived as the apotheosis of Wright’s prairie house style, the original Taliesin would stand in all its isolated glory for only a few months before the bloody slayings that rocked the nation and reduced the structure itself to a smoking hull. Supplying both a gripping mystery story and an authoritative portrait of the artist as a young man, Drennan wades through the myths surrounding Wright and the massacre, casting fresh light on the formulation of Wright’s architectural ideology and the cataclysmic effects that the Taliesin murders exerted on the fabled architect and on his subsequent designs.
