The ?Second Fucked Up Deal – A második elcseszett alku
* KÖNYVTRAILER A FÜLSZÖVEG VÉGÉN! *Az ?a dögös szemétláda volt a mindenem. Ő volt a legjobb barátom mióta az eszemet tudom, imádott engem, és én is imádtam Őt. Mindent elterveztünk: házasság, gyerekek, boldogan éltek, míg meg nem haltak… Pont, mint egy csöpögős romantikus regényben.Aztán egy nap minden megváltozott.Megjelent a kettes számú szemétláda és gépfegyverrel a kezében, egy pillanat alatt földbe döngölte a boldog jövőmet. Mindent elvett tőlem. A családomat, barátaimat, otthonomat, és végül az egyes számú szemétláda elhagyott a kettes számú szemétláda miatt. (Nyugi, nem úgy!)Attól a naptól fogva gyűlöltem mindkettőt. Hátrahagytam mindent. Az életem a magányról a menekülésről és az életben maradásról szólt. Beszorultam két hatalmas maffia család véres háborújába, két férfi ádáz küzdelmébe, ahol nincs többé szerelem és gyűlölet, nincs többé fekete és fehér, nincs többé más csak te és a döntés.Csakhogy egy rossz döntés végzetes is lehet…Sodró lendületű, hihetetlenül izgalmas történet két fiatal küzdelméről, akiknek az amerikai-olasz maffia leghatalmasabb családjával kell szembenéznie.

The Man Who Was Afraid
OUT of the darkest depths of life, where vice and crime and misery abound, comes the Byron of the twentieth century, the poet of the vagabond and the proletariat, Maxim Gorky. Not like the beggar, humbly imploring for a crust in the name of the Lord, nor like the jeweller displaying his precious stones to dazzle and tempt the eye, he comes to the world,—nay, in accents of Tyrtaeus this commoner of Nizhni Novgorod spurs on his troops of freedom-loving heroes to conquer, as it were, the placid, self-satisfied literatures of to-day, and bring new life to pale, bloodless frames.

The Geek's Guide to Wizarding Mastery in One Epic Tome
Not all wizards were born to be heroes.
Things not to do when you find out you’re a wizard:
#1 Do not destroy your apartment with magical fire. You WILL NOT get the security deposit back.#2 Do not form an alliance with the guy who is trying to murder you. This will end badly.#3 Do not drag the girl you’re desperately in love with into your wizard mess. You risk her watching you fail miserably.#4 Under no circumstances should you get in the middle of an epic magical battle. Death will happen. Lots of death and bad things.
This Epic Tome contains all four books in The Tale of Bryant Adams:How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin' DaysSeven Things Not to Do When Everyone's Trying to Kill YouThree Simple Steps to Wizarding DominationFive Spellbinding Laws of International Larceny
Praise for How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin’ Days
“This is a magical, fast-paced, fantasy packed—with a lovely dose of modern day teen—ride.” – Tonja
“How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin' Days by Megan O'Russell is the funniest book for teens/middle grade I have read in so long!” – M.W.
“Megan O'Russell's heart-stopping magical adventures get better and better and I can't wait for her next one!” – Sherry
Author Interview
Why did you choose to write a fantasy book that heavily involves a cell phone?
Phones are a huge part of everyday life. Smart phone are these tiny pieces of massive technology we use everyday without really thinking about how astounding they are. But what if phones could be used for more than just scrolling through social media? What if an entire magical library could be hidden in your pocket? I wanted modern convenience to meet magic in a new way.
What does Bryant Adams bring to the world of wizards that readers haven’t seen before?
Bryant Adams is not your standard hero. He is not the chosen one, and the world may be doomed if he’s in charge of saving us all.
Bryant is a geek—the nerdy sidekick of the coolest kid in high school—who’s trying really hard to survive being a wizard but is too terrified to talk to the girl of his dreams.
He’s just a boy trying to get through his teen years without too much emotional damage…and then magic happens.
Who would enjoy this book?
If you like humor with a touch of snark, romance with a hint of wit, and magic that might destroy the world as we know it, Bryant Adams is the wizard for you.

Rolling Stones, The - Voodoo Lounge Uncut BD
Kultovní rocková kapela Rolling Stones vydává nově sestříhaný, remixovaný a remasterovaný archivní koncertní film Voodoo Lounge Uncut, který byl natočený 25. listopadu 1994 v Miami na stadionu Joe Robbieho během světového turné k desce Voodoo Lounge. Mezi hosty se objeví například Sheryl Crow, Robert Cray nebo Bo Diddley. Nová verze filmu obsahuje deset dosud nezveřejněných vystoupení a pět bonusových písní z Giants Stadium v New Jersey, které v Miami nezazněly. Série nahrávek, která zobrazuje Rolling Stones na koncertní šňůře v polovině devadesátých let, vyjde 16. listopadu.
Mezi skladby, které se na Voodoo Lounge Uncut objeví, patří například Not Fade Away, You Got Me Rocking, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Sympathy For The Devil nebo Jumpin' Jack Flash.
Voodoo Lounge Tour začalo v dubnu 1994, trvalo přibližně rok a obsahovalo 134 koncertů na šesti kontinentech, které shlédlo přes 6, 5 milionu fanoušků, čímž se turné stalo svého času vůbec největším. Voodoo Lounge album se v roce svého vydání stalo bezkonkurenčním číslem jedna po celém světě. V roce 1995 dokonce vyhrálo Grammy za nejlepší rockové album.
Rolling Stones jsou kapelou, která je od svého počátku v roce 1962, kdy byli protipólem svatouškovských Beatles, nedomyslitelným pilířem rockové hudby. O tom vypovídá i jejich zařazení na čtvrté místo v žebříčku padesáti nesmrtelných interpretů rock'n'rollu časopisu Rolling Stone, dvojnásobný zisk Grammy za celoživotní dílo a uvedení do Rock'n'rollové síně slávy. Tvrdé jádro kapely tvoří na rytíře pasovaný zpěvák Mick Jagger a kytarový mág s životním příběhem rebela Keith Richards.

The Isles of the Gods
Magic, romance, and slumbering gods clash in the start of a riveting fantasy series spanning gangsters' dens, forgotten temples, and the high seas from the New York Times bestselling author of the Illuminae Files and the Aurora Cycle.
Selly has salt water in her veins. So when her father leaves her high and dry in the port of Kirkpool, she has no intention of riding out the winter at home while he sails to adventure in the north seas. But any plans to follow him are dashed when a handsome stranger with tell-tale magician's marks on his arms commandeers her ship under cover of darkness: He is Prince Leander of Alinor, and he needs to cross the Crescent Sea without detection so he can complete a ritual on the sacred Isles of the Gods.
Selly has no desire to escort a spoiled prince anywhere, and no time for his entitled demands or his good looks. But what starts as a leisure cruise will lead to acts of treason and sheer terror on the high seas, bringing two countries to the brink of war, two strangers closer than they ever thought possible and two dangerous gods stirring from centuries of slumber...
The Capture of a Slaver
A true personal account of the capture of a slave-running ship by a United States gunship in the fleet assigned for the suppression of the slave trade. It is told in 1900 by John Taylor Wood, who, 50 years earlier, had been a young midshipmen on the United States brig Porpoise in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of West Africa, at the mouth of the Niger River.The captain and crew of the Porpoise sight a slave-running ship, give chase, fire upon it, capture, board, and take its captain and crew into custody, in irons and under guard. Wood describes: "From the time we first got on board we had heard moans, cries, and rumblings coming from below, and as soon as the captain and crew were removed, the hatches had been taken off, when there arose a hot blast as from a charnel house, sickening and overpowering. In the hold were three or four hundred human beings, gasping, struggling for breath, dying; their bodies, limbs, faces, all expressing terrible suffering. In their agonizing fight for life, some had torn or wounded themselves or their neighbors dreadfully; some were stiffened in the most unnatural positions. As soon as I knew the condition of things I sent the boat back for the doctor and some whiskey...."Wood continues describing the voyage to return the captured slaves to the authorities of Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, where the United States had arranged for repatriation of emancipated slaves.This story was originally published as "The Capture of a Slaver" in the Atlantic Monthly 86 (1900): 451-463.

Jemina, the Mountain Girl
Written circa 1917, and published published much later in "Vanity Fair". It was later first published in book form in Tales of the Jazz Age in 1922.Written, like "Tarquin of Cheapside," while I was at Princeton, this sketch was published years later in "Vanity Fair." For its technique I must apologize to Mr. Stephen Leacock.I have laughed over it a great deal, especially when I first wrote it, but I can laugh over it no longer. Still, as other people tell me it is amusing, I include it here. It seems to me worth preserving a few years—at least until the ennui of changing fashions suppresses me, my books, and it together.
