When Jason Mallory’s girlfriend gives him an ultimatum to get married, he shocks everyone by breaking up with her instead. He believes he's too busy for a relationship now that the construction company he started with his brother is taking off. When he discovers a group of abandoned pit bulls and calls the local dog rescue group to pick them up, an uncomfortable encounter with Ryder causes Jason to question feelings he’s hidden deep inside for years.
Jason and Ryder build a friendship, until an unexpected kiss sparks the attraction they’ve been fighting.

The Bank Holiday Murders: The True Story of the First Whitechapel Murders {Jack the Ripper Book 1}
di Tom Wescott
True Crime

11,43 4,75 euro [ Amazon ] 

Jack the Ripper stalked the streets of London’s East End from August through November of 1888 in what is dubbed the ‘Autumn of Terror’. However, the grisly ripping of Polly Nichols on August 31st was not the first unsolved murder of the year. The April murder of Emma Smith and the August murder of Martha Tabram both occurred on bank holidays. They baffled the police and press alike and were assumed by the original investigators to have been the first murders in the series. Were they correct? In this provocative work of literary archeology, author Tom Wescott places these early murders in their proper historical context and digs to unearth new evidence and hard facts not seen in over 125 years. The Bank Holiday Murders is the only book of its kind. It eschews the tired approach of unsatisfying ‘final solutions’ in favor of solid research, logical reasoning and new information. The clues followed are not drawn from imagination but from the actual police reports and press accounts of the time. The questions asked by Wescott are ones first suggested by the original investigators but lost to time until now. The answers provided are compelling and sometimes explosive.

Among the revelations are:

• The true history of the 'Eddowes Shawl' or 'Ripper Shawl' discussed in the new book 'Naming Jack the Ripper' by Russell Edwards. * New information linking the murders of Smith & Tabram to the same killer(s).
• Proof that the police did not believe key witnesses in either case.
• Proof that at least one of these witnesses was working with the murderer.
• New evidence connecting many of the victims that may lead to their actual slayers.
• Information on Emily Horsnell, the ACTUAL first Whitechapel murder victim.
• The hidden truth of ‘Leather Apron’ and its role in unraveling the Ripper mystery.
• Proof of a corrupt police sergeant who thwarted the investigation. Was he protecting the Ripper?
• Much more.

The Bank Holiday Murders: The True Story of the First Whitechapel Murders brings us closer than ever to the actual truth behind the Jack the Ripper story and is sure to appeal to fans of Paul Begg, Stewart P. Evans, Philip Sugden, Donald Rumbelow, Ann Rule, Patricia Cornwell (Chasing the Ripper) as well as readers of Victorian true crime, true life mysteries and historical cold cases in general.

Ravens Breath {The Women of Purgatory Book 1}

Continuate a leggere per sapere di cosa si tratta ^.*

"Una popstar mascherata. Un sexy shop. E la cotta di una vita.."

Il sexy shop di Matteo è sommerso dai debiti. Gli spogliarelli dello stravagante coinquilino e commesso, il brasileiro Nuno, non sono più sufficienti ad arginare la crisi. In crisi, ma matrimoniale, è anche Iacopo, ex compagno di scuola di Matteo. Fra i due in passato c’è stato qualcosa di particolare ma irrisolto e, ora che lo ha ritrovato, Matteo è intenzionato a non farsi scappare la fantasia di una vita. Nuno è ancora più ottimista, dato che si è convinto di accaparrarsi la taglia sul misterioso cantante mascherato del momento per risollevare le sorti del negozio. Le resistenze di Iacopo, avvocato di buona famiglia e ligio alle apparenze, appaiano però insormontabili. Per non parlare della popstar, la cui identità è nascosta a scopo di marketing da un intero staff. Ma le maschere alla lunga risultano soffocanti e in un giorno può succedere quanto non succede in una vita.

Runny Magma mantiene segreta la sua reale identità affinché i suoi scritti vengano valutati al di là di qualsiasi pregiudizio, ma permette si sappia che alle giarrettiere preferisce le bretelle e adora azzannare liquirizia, il suo gatto e altre cose che magari immaginate senza starlo a spiegare. Odia Gloria Gaynor, i Village People e pure Lady Gaga, però è in grado di tollerare Madonna, Kylie Minogue e gli Abba. Ritiene che i gay romance siano parità d’intrattenimento e che un giorno li leggerà persino Giovanardi. Il suo racconto “Porcahontas” è online su RFS. Attualmente cura la rubrica “Drag Stories - Storie di strascichi” sul blog “Refusi Etc.”, dove dà voce alle drag queen italiane” – dalla biografia autografa del suo gatto, che parimenti non si fa vedere perché su Internet i mici sono anche più inflazionati degli scribacchini.

Mini Recensione - "Gli animali.. non vogliono andare a scuola!" di J.N. Paquet

Col nuovo anno, e con la mia attività di libraria che procede spedita, ho pensato di dare un po' più di spazio alle letture dedicate al piccolo pubblico; questo sia per aiutare genitori e amici con la scelta di un buon libro che per me stessa.. eh si, mi sto facendo le ossa anch'io e cerco di tenermi aggiornata (la scorsa estate ho scoperto che esiste Peppa Pig - ma non dirò altro per ora ^.^). Quindi eccomi a parlarvi del primo libretto di quest'anno!

Titolo: Gli animali.. non vogliono andare a scuola!
Serie: Il libro degli animali #4
Autore: J.N. Paquet
Pubblicazione: luglio 2011
Costo di copertina: 2.99 euro (ebook)

Che storia! Gli animali non vogliono andare a scuola! Eppure, poco a poco, tutti scoprono che andare a scuola e' importantissimo per gli animali, cosi' come per i bambini! Un piccolo libro divertente e educativo per insegnare ai bambini piccoli l'importanza di andare a scuola...

Quarto volume della serie de Il libro degli animali, questa piccola opera parla di come ogni cucciolo non voglia andare a scuola. A chi non è capitato di dire, quand'era piccino, "No, non voglio andare a scuola, mamma! Non voglio, non mi piace!"? E chi non ha mai udito dirlo ad un qualsiasi bimbo o bimba almeno una volta? La scuola, come sappiamo, è un luogo straordinario in cui impariamo e scopriamo tantissime cose che, una volta adulti, ci saranno utili. Oltre a questo, la scuola ci permette di stringere amicizie ed instaurare i primi rapporti con altre persone esterne alla cerchia familiare.

In Gli animali.. non vogliono andare a scuola! scopriamo, assieme ai vari cuccioli, perché la scuola è bella. Ho trovato questa piccola opera illustrata davvero carina. Purtroppo però ha una pecca non indifferente: la traduzione. Ora, non ho idea di chi l'abbia curata ma.. chiamare ostrica una cicogna mi pare un errore abbastanza grossolano, per non parlare di alcuni errorini di grammatica.

Idea molto buona e carina, disegni e descrizioni semplici che piaceranno a grandi e piccini. Purtroppo non consiglio di acquistare l'edizione tradotta in italiano perché a mio parere non merita - per i motivi citati prima -, così vi lascio il nome originale dell'opera così che possiate - eventualmente - reperirla in lingua: Les animaux... ne veulent pas aller à l'école!
