Book excerpt: “Goh-Goh is angry at you for not being a good Little Sister. Wah. . . . Why are you so selfish? You know you are not supposed to anger bad spirits during Ghost Month.” I sputtered, “You think Goh-Goh is a bad spirit? A gwai?” “Ai-yah. Don’t call them that. Do you want to anger them? They are the Good Brothers. You call them the Good Brothers. Ho hing dai.” Tori Wong is starting over. She's given herself a new name, dropped out of university to work at a downtown Toronto bookstore, and fled her parents' strict home to do all the things she's never done before. Like go out on weeknights, flirt with her cute co-worker Egan, and live out of the shadow of her overachieving brother, to whom her parents always compare her--even though he’s dead. But turning your back on the past isn't as easy as it seems. Especially during Yu Lan, or The Festival of Hungry Ghosts, when traditional Chinese believe that neglected spirits roam the earth. Not one but three forgotten ghosts come back to haunt Tori: her vengeful brother Seymour, and ambitious Vicky and meek little Mui-Mui, herself at age seventeen and eleven. Despite her attempts to appease them, none of them approve of Tori’s new life and interfere with her job and her budding relationship with Egan. And although it's Seymour who literally burns with jealousy of the living, Tori begins to despair that she too is a hungry ghost and has more in common with him than she’d thought . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unputdownable second half of New York Times bestselling author G.A. Aiken’s wildly funny, hot and unmistakably kick ass Dragon Kin series. The Dragon Who Loved Me Rhona the Fearless must fight alongside uncivilized male Northland dragons who think a female is only good for breeding. But only fools would try to stop her from doing what she does best—destroying the enemies of her kind. So the smartest thing wily barbarian Vigholf the Abhorrent can do is stay out of her way . . . How to Drive a Dragon Crazy Izzy thought she was finished with the one dragon she’d have done anything for: Éibhear the Blue, a big, gorgeous, blue-haired beast who wants to protect her from danger. That’s fine with her, because while she’s trying to fulfill a ridiculous quest for a pushy god, she’ll draw the overconfident warlord in and rekindle his smoldering fires . . . Light My Fire Celyn the Charming has direct orders from his queen to protect Elina Shestakova of the Black Bear Riders of the Midnight. Gods! That endless name! Worse still, this unforgiving female is completely unimpressed by Celyn. How is that even possible? Especially when he is just so damn charming? Feel the Burn Gaius Domitus, the one-eyed rebel dragon king, must fight off half of his ungrateful family on a regular basis to keep law and order in his lands. But he never expected to have to consort with a barbarian human woman. Kachka may be beautiful and fierce, but the feared Daughter of the Steppes has no time for foolish dragons. Though she may have a thing for his eyepatch . . . Bring the Heat Aidan the Divine is also a delight, cheerful, charming, and a royal warrior who is extremely handsome with a very large and well-hidden hoard of gold. And yet, Branwen the Awful—a low-born, no less—either tells him to shut up or, worse, ignores him completely. But if they’re going to win the war, they’re going to have to fight side by side . . . Dragon on Top Ghleanna the Decimator knows no fear, no pain, and no mercy. She does, however, know acute embarrassment! Especially after getting dumped by a bastard dragon in front of her own troops. All she wants to do is sulk in her cave but Her Majesty has ordered her to escort Bram the Merciful through dangerous territories—not exactly the best use of her military training. Then again . . .

This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume collection of folktales represents some of the finest examples of American oral tradition. Drawn from the largest archive of American folk culture, the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, this set comprises magic tales, legends, jokes, tall tales and personal narratives, many of which have never been transcribed before, much less published, in a sweeping survey. Eminent folklorist and award-winning author Carl Lindahl selected and transcribed over 200 recording sessions - many from the 1920s and 1930s - that span the 20th century, including recent material drawn from the September 11 Project. Included in this varied collection are over 200 tales organized in chapters by storyteller, tale type or region, and representing diverse American cultures, from Appalachia and the Midwest to Native American and Latino traditions. Each chapter begins by discussing the storytellers and their oral traditions before presenting and introducing each tale, making this collection accessible to high school students, general readers or scholars.
Download or read book Inside written by Kevin O'Malley and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1961, the place, Ireland. Inside a monastery is Brendan O'Kane who, at thirteen years of age, has been recruited into the Irish Christian Brothers. Does he have a true vocation? The recurring doubt causes him sleepless nights. Furthermore, he is confused about his awakening sexuality, repressed totally as it is by the Catholic Church in Ireland of the sixties and by his vow of chastity. Years later, he is faced with a momentous decision: he must decide once and for all if the price he has paid has really been worth it . . . INSIDE will strike a chord with many who grew up in the fifties and sixties, who remember the smells of the classroom and dancehall in those pre-deodorant days, the taste of fried bread and the sounds of the hymns and popular songs of the era - not to mention the swish of the leather strap. INSIDE is a must for those who have had their own experience of the Brothers - or who may have heard about them in recent news stories worldwide - and who would like to know what made them tick, what made them so successful in their heyday, and what made some of them, at least, dysfunctional. Other works on a similar theme: THE BOYS OF ST VINCENT'S (Canadian tv docudrama), THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND (Australian film), THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS (Australian one-man-play), and from Ireland, STATES OF FEAR (tv documentary), GIVE UP YER AULD SINS (animation), THE MAGDALENE SISTERS (film) and SONG FOR A RAGGY BOY (novel and film).
