Drop Dead Chocolate by Jessica Beck Pdf

Drop Dead Chocolate is a sinfully sweet addition to Jessica Beck's delicious Donut Shop Mystery Series. The whole town of April Springs is stirring over the upcoming mayoral election. Suzanne Hart's mother, for one, is dead-set on replacing the current mayor...and what better way for Momma to drum up support than by luring in voters with Suzanne's drop-dead-delicious donuts? Just add chocolate, and they're sure to kill the competition... With Momma's half-baked campaign heating up faster than a donut shop deep fryer, Suzanne wonders if they've bitten off more than they can chew. But when Momma's opponent is brutally murdered, the odds of winning are suddenly, and suspiciously, in their favor. Sure, they'd been planning to beat the mayor—but with speeches and donuts, not a blunt instrument. If Suzanne hopes to reveal the killer's recipe for revenge, she'll have to uncover a plot that's darker than any chocolate...

The Revisionaries by A. R. Moxon Pdf

"A modern-day classic."—Ron Charles, Washington Post “A spectacular invention.”—The New York Times "Compulsively readable."—NPR Things do not bode well for Father Julius. . . A street preacher decked out in denim robes and running shoes, Julius is a source of inspiration for a community that knows nothing of his scandalous origins. But when a nearby mental hospital releases its patients to run amok in his neighborhood, his trusted if bedraggled flock turns expectantly to Julius to find out what’s going on. Amid the descending chaos, Julius encounters a hospital escapee who babbles prophecies of doom, and the growing palpable sense of impending danger intensifies . . . as does the feeling that everyone may be relying on a street preacher just a little too much. Still, Julius decides he must confront the forces that threaten his congregation—including the peculiar followers of a religious cult, the mysterious men and women dressed all in red seen fleetingly amid the bedlam, and an enigmatic smoking figure who seems to know what’s going to happen just before it does. The Revisionaries is a wildly imaginative, masterfully rendered, and suspenseful tale that conjures the bold outlandish stylishness of Thomas Pynchon, Margaret Atwood, and Alan Moore—while being unlike anything that’s come before.

My Footprint by Jeff Garlin Pdf

Jeff Garlin shares his hysterical and eye-opening journey to reduce his waistline and his carbon footprint during the production of the seventh season of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm Jeff Garlin has dedicated the filming of an entire season of Curb Your Enthusiasm to completely making over his lifestyle in two major ways—by lightening his physical and his ecological footprints. After many false starts, he believes that writing a book about the experiment is the only possible way to help him lose weight and go green. The hardest part of the endeavor is overcoming his food addiction—especially when craft service has a constant buffet of everything delicious you could imagine on set. In addition to cutting calories, Jeff accidentally falls into a love affair with pilates, sweats with Richard Simmons, and twice visits the Pritikin Longevity Center, which he says is "rehab for people who eat too much pizza." Larry David’s rooting for him. Jerry Seinfeld’s plotting against him. And his wife is just plain annoyed by everything. As far as going green, Jeff has always been a big recycler, but he has a lot to learn. For example, actor Ed Begley Jr. is the guy to call if you want to reduce your environmental impact. Jeff does, and it changes everything. He hopes that being healthy and green becomes a big part of who he is—if not now, when?

White Ivy by Susie Yang Pdf

“A truly addictive read” (Glamour) about how a young woman’s crush on a privileged former classmate becomes a story of love, lies, and dark obsession, offering stark insights into the immigrant experience, as it hurtles to its electrifying ending in this “twisty, unputdownable, psychological thriller” (People). Ivy Lin is a thief and a liar—but you’d never know it by looking at her. Raised outside of Boston, Ivy’s immigrant grandmother relies on Ivy’s mild appearance for cover as she teaches her granddaughter how to pilfer items from yard sales and second-hand shops. Thieving allows Ivy to accumulate the trappings of a suburban teen—and, most importantly, to attract the attention of Gideon Speyer, the golden boy of a wealthy political family. But when Ivy’s mother discovers her trespasses, punishment is swift and Ivy is sent to China, and her dream instantly evaporates. Years later, Ivy has grown into a poised yet restless young woman, haunted by her conflicting feelings about her upbringing and her family. Back in Boston, when Ivy bumps into Sylvia Speyer, Gideon’s sister, a reconnection with Gideon seems not only inevitable—it feels like fate. Slowly, Ivy sinks her claws into Gideon and the entire Speyer clan by attending fancy dinners, and weekend getaways to the cape. But just as Ivy is about to have everything she’s ever wanted, a ghost from her past resurfaces, threatening the nearly perfect life she’s worked so hard to build. Filled with surprising twists and a nuanced exploration of class and race, White Ivy is a “highly entertaining,” (The Washington Post) “propulsive debut” (San Francisco Chronicle) that offers a glimpse into the dark side of a woman who yearns for success at any cost.

It Takes More Than a Donut to Make a Movie by David Marder Pdf

It Takes More Than A Donut To Make A Movie: The Adventures of a Hollywood Teamster is as unconventional and wide-ranging as David Marder's remarkable career as a Teamster in the fast paced and competitive world of Hollywood film production. Marder chronicles the highlights and the lowlights of his 40 year career of making movies. Some of the stories and events depicted in his book read like fiction; there going to challenge your logic, make your common sense feel like it just went 10 rounds with a proctologist, but their all true; that's just the way it happened David Marder's Teamsters career started in 1973, fresh from a brief stint as a guitarist in a Southern California rock band. Through a series of amazing events and "being at the right place at the right time," Marder climbed the ladder from driver to transportation coordinator-the head Teamster responsible for coordinating the army of people, vehicles and equipment needed to produce a movie. David Marder's reputation as a "get it done," problem solver, led to him being in demand for massive, "car crash" stunt intensive films such as Days of Thunder, The Fast and The Furious, Against All Odds, and XXX to name a few. It was "business as normal" for Marder to be responsible for coordinating the movements of 250 Teamster, 300 pieces of rolling stock and over 400 picture vehicles, simultaneously filming in three different states and sometimes, in two different hemispheres. Marder has taken his unique brand of "problem solving," on the road, filming, Beyond Rangoon in Malaysia, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in China, Moon Over Parador, in Brazil, Ruby Cairo in Mexico, Germany, Greece, and Egypt. All total, Marder has worked in 14 foreign countries and 22 US cities. David Marder has worked on mega movie hits and a few ill-fated flops, but he has endured, witnessing the peaks of the movie business from the driver's seat. Weather it be responsible for the fabrication of hundreds of race cars, the movement of thousands of pieces of equipment, working with impossible budgets and tight schedules; or being assigned to chauffeur the likes of Alfred Hitchcock, Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, 2-year old twin girls, or the director's beloved Bassett hound--Marder has done it all. It Takes More Than A Donut To Make A Movie is packed with intriguing stars and stories, directors with drama, prodigious producers as well as Marder's practical problem-solving skills which have contributed to the successfully completion of over 40 movies and TV shows. Interwoven through his personal history, Marder humorously illustrates the intense nature and complexity of film production, from the early 70's with pictures like Days of Thunder, to gigantic franchises like The Fast and Furious that when on to gross $3.9 billion worldwide. Full of chaos, overblown egos and quick thinking found in the stressful environment of movie-making-these colorful and hilarious experiences-offer vivid, first-person accounts of real-world Hollywood that are as genuine as David Marder himself.
