The Bookmaker by Kerri Lynn Pdf

Lyric Murphy has been trying to keep her imagination from running away with her. She knows it makes her family uncomfortable when she sees things they don’t. But before she can get a handle on it, she finds herself face to face with two runaway words. They belong to the Bookmaker, a mythical being who lives in a world that exists just out of sight of her own. When the two words disappear again, Lyric sets out on an adventure to help the Bookmaker find them. It doesn’t take long for Lyric to realize she’s no ordinary girl no matter how hard she tries to put her imagination away. As she’s pulled deeper into the Bookmaker’s story, she realizes it’s no ordinary tale either. In fact, how it turns out will determine the fate of her world and the Bookmaker’s forever.

The Bookmaker by Michael J. Agovino Pdf

Marking the debut of a gifted new writer, The Bookmaker teems with humanity, empathy, humor, and insight. At the heart of Michael J. Agovino's powerful, layered memoir is his family's struggle for success in 1970s, '80s, and '90s New York City—and his father's gambling, which brought them to exhilarating highs and crushing lows. He vividly brings to life the Bronx, a place of texture and nuance, of resignation but also of triumph. The son of a buttoned-up union man who moonlighted as a gentleman bookmaker and gambler, Agovino grew up in the Bronx's Co-op City, the largest and most ambitious state-sponsored housing development in U.S. history. When it opened, it landed on the front page of The New York Times and in Time magazine, which described it as "relentlessly ugly." Agovino's Italian American father was determined not to let his modest income and lack of a college education define him, and was dogged in his pursuit of the finer things in life. When the point spreads were on his side, he brought his family to places he only dreamed about in his favorite books and films: the Uffizi, the Tate, the Rijksmuseum; St. Peter's, Chartres, Teotihuacán. With bad luck came shouting matches, unpaid bills, and eviction notices. The Bookmaker is both a bold, loving portrait of a family and their metropolis and an intimate look into some of the most turbulent decades of New York City. In elegant and soaring prose, it transcends the personal to illuminate the ways in which class distinctions shaped America in the last half of the twentieth century.

The Bookmaker by Chris Fraser Pdf

You were right to be suspicious... It wasn't Oswald in the book depository. It wasn't Sirhan Sirhan in the Ambassador kitchen. It wasn't a massive conspiracy or government cover-up. It was one man with one agenda. For small-time Huntington Beach bookmaker and wanna-be writer Trent Oster, it all started with a chance to collect a debt. Instead he's offered an opportunity of a lifetime. Days later he finds himself on a sprawling southern estate in Oxford Mississippi, balancing the roles of houseguest and biographer for town legend Preston Walker-the man responsible for the most controversial murders in American history; and he's finally ready to talk.
