Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rachael Hanel’s name was inscribed on a gravestone when she was eleven years old. Yet this wasn’t at all unusual in her world: her father was a gravedigger in the small Minnesota town of Waseca, and death was her family’s business. Her parents were forty-two years old and in good health when they erected their gravestone—Rachael’s name was simply a branch on the sprawling family tree etched on the back of the stone. As she puts it: I grew up in cemeteries. And you don’t grow up in cemeteries—surrounded by headstones and stories, questions, curiosity—without becoming an adept and sensitive observer of death and loss as experienced by the people in this small town. For Rachael Hanel, wandering among tombstones, reading the names, and wondering about the townsfolk and their lives, death was, in many ways, beautiful and mysterious. Death and mourning: these she understood. But when Rachael’s father—Digger O’Dell—passes away suddenly when she is fifteen, she and her family are abruptly and harshly transformed from bystanders to participants. And for the first time, Rachael realizes that death and grief are very different. At times heartbreaking and at others gently humorous and uplifting, We’ll Be the Last Ones to Let You Down presents the unique, moving perspective of a gravedigger’s daughter and her lifelong relationship with death and grief. But it is also a masterful meditation on the living elements of our cemeteries: our neighbors, friends, and families—the very histories of our towns and cities—and how these things come together in the eyes of a young girl whose childhood is suffused with both death and the wonder of the living.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" (Wall Street Journal). If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments. "Powerful." --USA Today "Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault." --Washington Post "Superb, smart, and succinct." --Forbes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe's journey to The Old Guard began in a small Illinois town. Family provided a solid foundation in which to grow and at the same time kept him motivated to go out into the world and find his own way. At 18, he left home for Montana where he would spend the next four years learning to cook in a four-star restaurant, helping to maintain a guest ranch and backpacking for weeks at a time. Eventually, his time in Montana came to an end. Joe enlisted in the United States Army. Making a good impression with his leadership, he was recruited into The Old Guard. Upon completion of Infantry School and Airborne School at Fort Benning, Georgia, he reported to 1st Battalion, 3rd Infantry (The Old Guard) at Fort McNair, Virginia. This active infantry unit also serves as the showpiece of the United States Army. The assignment would be an experience he would remember for a lifetime. While serving in The Old Guard Joe was involved in Spirit of America, where the history of the Army was shared in cities around the east coast. He participated in over seven hundred funerals at Arlington National Cemetery, seventy-eight retirement ceremonies for senior enlisted, generals and above, five presidential cordons, a presidential inauguration and a presidential funeral procession. "The last one to let you down" is an unofficial line used by Alpha Company, Full Honors Casket Team. Many former and current members of The Old Guard attempt to share their experiences honoring fallen soldiers. After all, for most, it is a once in a lifetime experience. Joe's story includes humorous observations, good luck, bad luck and everything in between.

After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with heart. Despite having no formal qualifications or previous experience in the field, she found herself working in palliative care. During the time she spent tending to those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote an Internet blog post, outlining the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed. The post gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million readers worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, Bronnie subsequently wrote a book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, to share her story. Bronnie has had a colourful and diverse life. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, she developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if we make the right choices, to die with peace of mind. In this revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide, with translations in 29 languages, Bronnie expresses how significant these regrets are and how we can positively address these issues while we still have the time. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying gives hope for a better world.

Book excerpt: 'People of the streets... you become aware of them, and wonder who and what they are... what kind of lives they have, and what living them means...' First published in 1968, People of the Streets was Tony Parker's sixth book, for which he spent a year approaching and interviewing people in London who were living their daily lives on street corners, along gutters or in subways. With his usual skill he coaxed them out of their natural reticence, born of solitude, into an unfamiliar but hugely illuminating spontaneity. 'In [Parker's] books the strength lies in the interpretive mind of the writer... He is a sociologist studying single cases in some depth and shows qualities of imagination shared by the historian and the biographer - a mixture of intelligence, sympathy and empathy.' TLS

Maybe trust that not everyone in life lets you down. Including Flynn. Joy tried to convince herself that he wasn’t her type, no matter how sexy and lickable he might be. It was a lie. Flynn was everything she’d been too scared to want. Is Joy ready to let her guard down and give this honestly nice guy the chance he deserves? Or is love still too much of a risk for a woman who's lost so much already? Flynn was sick of being alone. He loved his life, his job and his family. But now he wanted more. He wanted what his friends had. Love. A partner. Joy wasn’t who he pictured himself with. She was bold, argumentative, and not overly friendly. But for some reason, she was who he wanted. Who he believed he deserved. And he was going to do anything and everything to prove to her that no matter what, he wouldn’t let her down

Book excerpt: The author Greg J. Delle has not yet completed his lifetime study of natural humanity and manipulated governed humanity. He and his childhood giraffe friend (Niqynu) travel back through time to when Delle was one year old, to the present, and to the future. Delle depicts how our great inventors, writers, and a host of gifted legends became successful. Despite a system of scarce schooling and academics, they still prevailed. Delle compares this with current academic standards and how academics can affect a child’s creativity. He asks what good are competition and the disease of believing you have to be number one. The twelve hours a day of study and homework a child has – does it teach each and every child to be better than one another? Instead, it would be better to have schools that teach parenting and help people respect and be polite to one another. Delle and Niqynu study the history of religion and how it has affected and continues to affect modern civilization. Of course, God is energy shared by everyone. Delle and Niqynu studied the laws of the Bible, modern school bureaucracy, and the government system - its laws, rules, regulations, fines, penalties, and restrictions. This arduous squeezing system comes down on parents and poor people, to force their children to fit the modern moral mold. Delle and Niqynu question the behavior of adolescents and adults. The rule of sexual societal behavior needs to be set free. Delle and Niqynu never stop asking questions because it is their destiny to help prevent child abuse. Just look at all of the mental and physically abused children. His questions are still unanswered. Come and join them on their quest.

Book excerpt: A single dad, meet cute, opposites attract, grumpy boss Miss Sunshine, steamy romantic comedy by award-winning Elizabeth SaFleur Resisting temptation is Ash Scott’s specialty—until her. The last thing single dad Ashton Scott needs is more life complications. He has demanding celebrity clients and a six-year-old daughter he just met. His to-do list has no room for Adelaide, a hometown nanny who once had a crush on him. But now grown up, does she have to be so damned magnetic—and infuriating? Good thing resistance to temptation is his specialty. At least it was… For Adelaide, life was good before Ash returned to Moorsville. She’d almost forgotten her one and only run-in with the man years ago—the most humiliating experience of her life (and that is saying something). But now as a single dad he needs a nanny, not romance. And quite frankly, his little girl needs her. His ideas of parenting could fit into a thimble. Not letting the six-year-old get dirty or eat sugar? Ha! The fact he nearly melts her panties off with his stern face isn’t going to be a problem. Really, it isn’t. ~~~~~ Perfect for readers of Julia Kent, Avery Flynn, Lila Monroe, Meghan Quinn, Pippa Grant, Lucy Score, Penny Reid, Lauren Blakely, Sally Thorne, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Kendall Ryan, Kristan Higgins, Helena Hunting, and Sophie Kinsella.

Book excerpt: Dangerous prophecies. Forbidden love. Limitless power. Magic always demands a sacrifice. Tessa Egan is destined to die! When her powers as a witch are awakened, when she is hunted like so many before her. There is one problem: she doesn’t believe in destiny. Fighting for her life, her survival places her on a collision course with a centuries-old conflict between species, a corrupt hierarchy that will do anything to destroy her, and the realization that her past was never what it seemed. Then there’s the prophecy that proclaims she will become the most powerful witch her enemies have ever encountered. The mere promise of such dominance sends legions after her, as she struggles to master her abilities and win a war against forces far more sinister than she. Adding to her already complicated life is a commanding guardian named Alec and his mysterious half-brother, Josh. The Prophecy of the Guardian’s Mark claims “Only a Guardian’s soulmate can see the Guardian’s mark.” Why can she can see both Findlay brothers’ marks? Why is Josh’s the opposite of Alec’s, evoking anguish and fear? As Tessa faces an evil unlike any she could have imagined, she learns the most dangerous lesson of them all … magic always demands a sacrifice.

Book excerpt: The nine stories in Mike Alberti’s debut collection shine a sharp light on small-town American life —not the Arcadian small towns of yesteryear, but the old mill towns hanging on after the mill has stopped running, the deserted agricultural communities in the middle of vast industrial farms, places where bad luck has become part of the weather. But even in these blighted, neglected landscapes, the possibility of renewal always presents itself: there is hope for these places and the characters who inhabit them. In these fresh, innovative stories, some people let you down, but some people don’t.
