The Backup Girl by Andrew Quinn Pdf

Catherine Kniceley, a 19-year old college student, is infatuated with J.J. Thompson, the tall, handsome, star of the basketball team. Shy, innocent, and overly reserved, Catherine vows to step out of her comfort zone to entice her two year obsession. After a couple uneventful run-ins with J.J., much to her delight, Catherine is finally able to get him to notice her. Overlooking J.J.'s reputation for routine involvement with fast girls, Catherine, who is actually able to get close to J.J., finds herself snubbing her moral compass, and becoming passionately involved with J.J. Despite numerous warnings from her friends that J.J. has bad intentions, by keeping Catherine as the backup girl in his arsenal of other females, Catherine is convinced there's more to the heartless womanizing J.J., and is bent on changing him. Relatable, racy, and heartfelt, the Backup Girl is a story that will grab you, hold you through every turn of the page, and remain with you always. This book is intended for mature audiences.

Girl Groups, Girl Culture by Jacqueline Warwick Pdf

Then He Kissed Me, He's A Rebel, Chains, Stop! In the Name of Love all these songs capture the spirit of an era and an image of "girlhood" in post-World War II America that still reverberates today. While there were over 1500 girl groups recorded in the '60s--including key hitmakers like the Ronettes, the Supremes, and the Shirelles - studies of girl-group music that address race, gender, class, and sexuality have only just begun to appear. Warwick is the first writer to address '60s girl group music from the perspective of its most significant audience--teenage girls--drawing on current research in psychology and sociology to explore the important place of this repertoire in the emotional development of young girls of the baby boom generation. Girl Groups, Girl Culture stands as a landmark study of this important pop music and cultural phenomenon. It promises to be a classic work in American musicology and cultural studies.

Whitney Houston is a show-business phenomenon and one of Hollywood's most sought-after black actresses. Here is the first-ever behind-the-scenes book about Whitney. Good Girl, Bad Girl is written by Kevin Ammons, who spent a great deal of time with Whitney since his girlfriend, Regina Brown, was Whitney's publicist.
