    World Gone By: A Novel (Coughlin Series Book 3) Over 300 5-Star Reviews!

    Dennis Lehane delivers a psychologically, morally complex novel of blood, crime, passion, and vengeance, set in Cuba and Ybor City, Florida, during World War II, in which Joe Coughlin must confront the cost of his criminal past and present.

    Ten years have passed since Joe Coughlin’s enemies killed his wife and destroyed his empire, and much has changed.

    Granny Is My Wingman At twenty-three, Kayli Stollak, like most starry-eyed twentysomethings, assumed that she and her boyfriend, Charlie, would be together forever… And then he dumped her.

    Heartbroken, Kayli turned to her seventy-five-year-old granny for support. And this ain’t no ordinary granny. Granny Gail is a ball-busting, sh*t-talking, gossipy yenta with an anecdote or piece of unsolicited advice for every situation. Granny didn’t sugarcoat the truth or let Kayli dwell on her failed relationship. No, Granny told her to cut the crap and snap out of it. Why didn’t Kayli give “one of those dating websites” a shot? With her ego on the line, Kayli threw the dare right back at her—if it was so wonderful, why didn’t single Granny join her in the world of cyber romance?

    Granny Is My Wingman chronicles Kayli’s and Granny’s misadventures in online dating. What ensues is a hilarious tour through the obstacles of modern love: drunken hookups, late-night Facebook stalking, breathy phone calls with geriatric suitors, and the occasional rude dude. While Kayli powers through a marathon of OkCupid dates—the corporate drone married to his BlackBerry, the nail-biting thirty-three-year-old who still lives at home with his mom, the serial online dater—we learn about Granny’s romantic past and the bittersweet affair she carried on, even while married, for more than thirty years. The two women cheer each other on and become even closer as they share their dating exploits, learning that the hunt for happiness is the same whether you’re twenty-five or seventy-five.

    Fresh, funny, and honest, Granny Is My Wingman is a book for anyone who has ever found love, lost it, and been crazy enough to do it all over again.

    Read Bottom Up: A Novel A charming novel about falling in love (or like) in the digital age—the never-before-seen full story.

    Madeline and Elliot meet at a New York City restaurant opening. Flirtation—online—ensues. A romance, potentially eternal, possibly doomed, begins.

    And, like most things in life today, their early exchanges are available to be scrutinized and interpreted by well-intentioned friends who are a mere click away.

    Madeline and Elliot’s relationship unfolds through a series of thrilling, confounding, and funny exchanges with each other, and, of course, with their best friends and dubious confidants (Emily and David). The result is a brand-new kind of modern romantic comedy, in format, in content, and even in creation—the authors exchanged e-mails in real time, blind to each other’s side conversations. You will nod in appreciation and roll your eyes in recognition; you’ll learn a thing or two about how the other half approaches a new relationship… and you will cheer for an unexpected ending that just might restore your faith in falling in love, twenty-first-century style.

    Haldeman Diaries: Inside the Nixon White House “Because history is more art than science, it is remembered now only as it was chronicled then; this unfortunately is not always as it actually happened.”

    Following his election as the 37th President of the United States in November 1968, Richard Nixon chose H. R. “Bob” Haldeman to be his Chief of Staff.

    After the announcement, Haldeman was encouraged by a close friend, and presidential scholar, to faithfully record each day’s events, and his thoughts regarding them.

    Deeming it worth the commitment, the result of his endeavour is nothing short of extraordinary.

    Alongside power struggles and tragedies are recorded triumphs and hope, from the inroads made with China and Russia to the Vietnam peace talks.

    But it is Watergate that traditionally defines the era, and as the 1972 election passed with Nixon’s re-election the entries show how its hold on the political arena became unshakeable.

    Although we know the story’s end, Haldeman’s reveal of how events unfolded from inside the White House — and the processes involved — is no less gripping.
