A “big-hearted” (The Daily Beast), “LOL-worthy” (Cosmopolitan) debut about a down-on-his-luck gay man working out how he fits into the world, making up for lost time, and opening himself up to life’s possibilities “Part of a new wave of authors releasing uplifting queer literature that casts its characters as the heroes of their lives . . . crammed with blossoming romances and glittery escapism.”—The Guardian Danny Scudd is absolutely fine. He always dreamed of escaping the small-town life of his parents’ fish-and-chip shop, moving to London, and becoming a journalist. And, after five years in the city, his career isn’t exactly awful, and his relationship with pretentious Tobbs isn’t exactly unfulfilling. Certainly his limited-edition Dolly Parton vinyls and many (maybe too many) house plants are hitting the spot. But his world is flipped upside down when a visit to the local clinic reveals that Tobbs might not have been exactly faithful. In fact, Tobbs claims they were never operating under the “heteronormative paradigm” of monogamy to begin with. Oh, and Danny’s flatmates are unceremoniously evicting him because they want to start a family. It’s all going quite well. Newly single and with nowhere to live, Danny is forced to move in with his best friend, Jacob, a flamboyant nonbinary artist whom he’s known since childhood, and their eccentric group of friends living in an East London “commune.” What follows is a colorful voyage of discovery through modern queer life, dating, work, and lots of therapy—all places Danny has always been too afraid to fully explore. Upon realizing just how little he knows about himself and his sexuality, he careens from one questionable decision (and man) to another, relying on his inscrutable new therapist and housemates to help him face the demons he’s spent his entire life trying to repress. Is he really fine, after all?

Cindy was in a naughty mood. She drove home from work early, head swirling with breathtaking ways she could surprise her husband Charlie. Their sex life had grown mundane and uninspired, limping to a crawl after the marriage’s first few months. An even the early days weren’t that exciting. Mostly he’d slip on top of her, pound away for a few minutes, then doze off, leaving her feeling empty and incomplete. But today Cindy wanted to change everything. Sparked by a conversation with her new boss Charlotte, she had a sudden appetite for lingerie. This was new for Cindy. As a lifelong tomboy, she was always more comfortable in sweats, t-shirts and sneakers than stockings, negligees and high-heels, but the urge to try something new was born. Only one problem: she had no idea where to begin. So she sent a text to Charlotte: Help! I want to try some lingerie but I don’t know what kind to get. It took only thirty seconds for a reply from her boss. Meet me at Lady Liza’s in twenty minutes. Cindy’s answer was casual: OK. But inside she was buzzing like an...

Even though he is shy, he makes many good friends, especially his first love. His last year of high school is filled with excitement and successes in sports, which lead up to his first date. His life is torn apart when, due to the trickery of a mean aunt, his life is changed forever. He is on his own again and desperately tries to return to the girl he dearly loves. Situations and circumstances cause him to enlist in the United States Air Force. His basic training in the Air Force is described from beginning to end.

Completely unlike any encyclopedia before it, The Book of Firsts is the product of decades of archiving and research from the incredible Patrick Robertson. For many years the proprietor of a stock photo archive and collector of all forms of ephemera, Robertson boasts a library that includes ads, clippings, and archival materials going back well over 100 years. In this amazing work, Robertson indexes and describes the things he considers socially relevant, such as the first black head of a white government (it's not who you think), the first baby carriage, and the first department store. He writes about all this with an unparalleled knowledge and impossible-to-fake fluency with a staggering number of subjects. What's more, Robertson renders this massive reference with subtle but distinctive humor, and an eye for fascinating detail. Every entry in this book includes a first time in America, and many also have firsts from elsewhere in the world. With a handsome design and an oversized trim, this will be both a groundbreaking work of reference and a beautiful gift for trivia heads.

Of the many recent books on the historical Jesus, none has explored what the latest biblical scholarship means for personal faith. Now, in Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg addresses the yearnings of those who want a fully contemporary faith that welcomes rather than oppresses our critical intelligence and openness to the best of historical scholarship. Borg shows how a rigorous examination of historical findings can lead to a new faith in Christ, one that is critical and, at the same time, sustaining. "Believing in Jesus does not mean believing doctrines about him," Borg writes. "Rather, it means to give one's heart, one's self at its deepest level, to . . . the living Lord." Drawing on his own journey from a naive, unquestioning belief in Christ through collegiate skepticism to a mature and contemporary Christian faith, Borg illustrates how an understanding of the historical Jesus can actually lead to a more authentic Christian life—one not rooted in creeds or dogma, but in a life of spiritual challenge, compassion, and community. In straightforward, accessible prose, Borg looks at the major findings of modern Jesus scholarship from the perspective of faith, bringing alive the many levels of Jesus' character: spirit person, teacher of alternative wisdom, social prophet, and movement founder. He also reexamines the major stories of the Old Testament vital to an authentic understanding of Jesus, showing how an enriched understanding of these stories can uncover new truths and new pathways to faith. For questioning believers, doubters, and reluctant unbelievers alike, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time frees our understanding of Jesus' life and message from popular misconceptions and outlines the way to a sound and contemporary faith: "For ultimately, Jesus is not simply a figure of the past, but a figure of the present. Meeting that Jesus—the living one who comes to us even now—will be like meeting Jesus again for the first time."

Lexi did not want to move and nothing is going to make her happy about it. Except maybe that cute guy on the bus. It's 1983 and Lexi has more than gotten over her parent's divorce. Having to move to New Jersey, however, is simply unacceptable. Lexi plans to go back to Brooklyn and stay with her dad, every weekend, whether her mom likes it or not. How else is Lexi going to see her friends? She never imagined she’d change her mind. But then she saw Jack. Jack knows he was born to share his music, and his voice, with the world. His parents and teachers don’t see it that way. And it’s not just them. Everyone in town it seems, knows Jack as the one who doesn’t measure up, to his brother’s perfect academic record, that is. Then he sees the new girl on the bus and realizes she doesn’t know anything about that. And maybe, just maybe, when she finds out, she won’t care. Jack and Lexi quickly become a couple. Then they become a team. Determined to make a life for themselves, on their own terms, they’ll do whatever it takes to make their dreams come true. No risk is too big to take, not if it gets them one step closer to the fame they want, and the freedom they can’t live without. After all, win or lose, they’ll always have each other. Until they don’t. This is Book One of Jack and Lexi's story. Book Two; Never Enough and Book Three; Come Back to Me can be found on Amanda Wilhelm's Google Play page. This is a new adult romance that follows the couple from high school to college. Encounters are explicit but typical for the age and experience of the couple.
