The Rotten Adventures of Zachary Ruthless #1

The Rotten Adventures of Zachary Ruthless #1 Review

Are you rotten enough to read this book?

Ha! And I mean that in a laugh-in-your-face, you’re not- really-rotten-at-all way. Have you ever destroyed the planet? Turned earthworms into your personal army of doom? Refused to eat your broccoli and hidden it in your underwear? Well, never mind that last one. I mean, who hasn’t? But still, no one is as rotten as Zachary Ruthless. In fact, his adventures are so rotten you might want to just put this book down now and back away very slowly.

Nudes and Portraits

Nudes and Portraits Review

Showcasing 120 of photographer Gordon Thye's gorgeous, duotones, this coffee table book offers images that are sensitive, cheerful, aesthetic, and erotic. The photographs show a masterful use of light and shadow, with sharp and blurred focus that elicit a wide variety of emotions. The images include peaceful moments full of magic; stylized graphic compositions; surreal stage scenes; and erotic portraits of self-confident, young and beautiful women. With his aesthetically arranged poses, intentionally simple lighting, and an emphasis on the essential elements of design the photographer shows how little is actually required to achieve a great photograph.

Rusty Son of Tall Elk

Rusty Son of Tall Elk Review

An innocent game of cowboys and Indians becomes a reality for 10-year-old Russell Weaver when he is captured by Cheyenne Indians in this historical adventure novel. “Rusty” is a bright, red-haired, freckled-faced farm boy from a German-Irish Midwest family, and when Chief Walks Fast sees Rusty’s red hair, he adopts the boy. The chief has a daughter of mixed ancestry with fire red hair, and believes it will be strong medicine to raise a boy and a girl with this unusual trait. Rusty’s new sister is one inch taller, one year older, and none too pleased about this new rival to her status. Rusty must prove himself to his new sister, make a place for himself in his new family, and adapt to an entirely alien way of life. He discovers a talent for storytelling, and becomes expert in making slings and javelins. Little by little, this pale stranger becomes assimilated into his new tribe, and at age 12 he undergoes a traditional vision quest and vows to stay with the Cheyenne until the age of 16.

Dog Days at the White House The Outrageous Memoirs of the Presidential Kennel Keeper

Dog Days at the White House The Outrageous Memoirs of the Presidential Kennel Keeper Review

What makes this book worth reprinting is not the canine dogs described in this book but the human female kinds of dogs, the women who slept with the presidents who were not necessarily the wives. This book, nearly forgotten, was the first to reveal numerous presidential affairs. It was the first to report that President Kennedy had an insatiable appetite for women, the human kind. It was the original source for a story that has been repeated many times since. This story is found on page 38 of this book. The story goes: Jacqueline was in the presidential bed in the White House bedroom, when she discovered a woman's panties in between the sheets. She held up the panties she had found with two fingers in much the same way that she would hold up a dead mouse and she said to the president, "Would you please find out whose these are, because they are not my size?" It is a fact that every president in more than one hundred years has had a dog, with the exception of President Clinton, who had a cat, although even Clinton did finally get a dog near the end of his term. Not all of these presidents were dog lovers. In some cases, the President obviously got a dog just to get the Dog Lover's Vote. President Obama must have read this book, because when he was elected to office, he knew that the first thing he had to do was get a dog. This book starts with the punch line to a joke: "This book is dedicated to man's best friend - women".

Fallout of a Freckle Face Freak

Fallout of a Freckle Face Freak Review

pain, fear, humor, trauma, isolation, betrayal, rage, joy, strength, growth... Fallout of a Freckle Face Freak is the journey of an eight-year-old girl "in the wrong place at the wrong time". From trauma through years of denial, repression, traumatic memory, coping, pretending, and living a life forever changed because of one night of insanity. Now at the age of forty-one, the author takes us through her journey in an honest, blatant, poignant, and touchingly humane memoir unlike any other. Balanced with humor, creativity, hope, and courage, this memoir connects with the reader in a unique way. For survivors, it offers kinship, validation, and hope. For councilors, social workers, and psychologists, it offers a unique insight and understanding to assist clients in a more meaningful way. For all others, it offers a connection to any part of their own human experience that has included pain, sadness, self-doubt, and challenge. It is a unique reading experience that is bound to bring both laughter and tears. Ultimately, this is a story of healing - not a "quick fix", but in a lifetime of striving to rise above long ago wounds. Amy Harksen, M.S., LMHC
