Beefcake & Mistakes But when Juliet's beloved grandmother has a stroke, Tanner agrees to pretend to be a happily married couple one last time, just until she's well enough to handle the news that her favorite couple is calling it quits for good. But seven years of separation have changed a lot of things. Is it enough for the once-bitten-twice-shy Tanner to reconsider and risk a retake on the one woman who never stopped loving him? Beefcake & Snowflakes Gina had a crush on Darien since before she could remember until the day he'd humiliated her in school. Fifteen years later, the sight of him still leaves her cold. Exotic dancer Darien has come back to town to set a few things to rights. One of those is the mess he made for Gina during their teenage years... and maybe rekindle the flames they'd once had. But the only way to melt the snow around Gina's heart is to turn up the heat, both on the job... and off. Sweet as Candy Candy has been misjudged her entire life, thanks to the blonde hair, pretty face, and kickass body Mother Nature has bestowed upon her, and, in her experience, most men can't see beyond them to the woman inside. So when sexy exotic dancer Jaden Carter offers her some dopey pick-up line, she's not interested—well, in the pick-up line. In him? Totally different story. But only the man who appreciates her brains will be the guy to win her heart. But then Jaden proves he's more than a pretty face, and she realizes no one should ever judge a book by its (very sexy) cover.

Book Description
Two generations of American music lovers have grown up listening with Robert Christgau, attuned to his inimitable blend of judgment, acuity, passion, erudition, wit, and caveat emptor. His writings, collected here, constitute a virtual encyclopedia of popular music over the past fifty years. Whether honoring the originators of rock and roll, celebrating established artists, or spreading the word about newer ones, the book is pure enjoyment, a pleasure that takes its cues from the sounds it chronicles. A critical compendium of points of interest in American popular music and its far-flung diaspora, this book ranges from the 1950s singer-songwriter tradition through hip-hop, alternative, and beyond. With unfailing style and grace, Christgau negotiates the straits of great music and thorny politics, as in the cases of Public Enemy, blackface artist Emmett Miller, KRS-One, the Beastie Boys, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. He illuminates legends from pop music and the beginnings of rock and roll—George Gershwin, Nat King Cole, B. B. King, Chuck Berry, and Elvis Presley—and looks at the subtle transition to just plain “rock” in the music of Janis Joplin, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, and others. He praises the endless vitality of Al Green, George Clinton, and Neil Young. And from the Rolling Stones to Sonic Youth to Nirvana, from Bette Midler to Michael Jackson to DJ Shadow, he shows how money calls the tune in careers that aren’t necessarily compromised by their intercourse with commerce. Rock and punk and hip-hop, pop and world beat: this is the music of the second half of the twentieth century, skillfully framed in the work of a writer whose reach, insight, and perfect pitch make him one of the major cultural critics of our time.

Book Description
Once our society set aside time for adolescents to grow from children to adults, to become accustomed to their expanding bodies and minds. Now the markers that defined passage—differences in dress, behavior, and responsibilities—have vanished. The institutions that guarded adolescence, such as family and schools, now expect “young adults” to deal with adult issues. Those trends leave teens no time to be teens.All Grown Up and No Place to Go spotlights the pressures on teenagers to grow up quickly. The resulting problems range from common alienation to self-destructive behavior. Quoting teenagers themselves, Elkind shows why adolescence is a time of “thinking in a new key,” and how young people need this time to get used to the social and emotional changes their new thinking brings. Many of his ideas, such as the “imaginary audience” that makes teens so self-conscious, have become seminal in adolescent psychology.Already there are more than 175,000 copies of All Grown Up and No Place to Go in print. In this thoroughly revised edition, Elkind also explores the “post-modern family” in which teenagers are growing up. He helps parents and those who work with youth and understand teens in crucial ways, because the root of so many adolescent frictions is the gap between what teenagers need and what our culture provides.
