Gun Book!, Drawing, Infant Care

Fiction

What Doesn't Kill You by Virgina DeBerry and Donna Grant. Forty-something single mom gets laid off, wakes up with a younger man after her daughter's wedding, and has to decide if her life is really just about working for a paycheck. DeBerry wrote a letter to Library Journal that sold me on buying this novel.

NonFiction

Personal Defense for Women by Gila Hayes. Avoiding conflict, defense techniques, fight back with non lethal tools, use a firearm with confidence. The author owns Firearms Academy of Seattle. I looked at their web page a few years ago and was impressed with their large range.

How to Draw from Photographs by Diane Cardaci. Learn how to create beautiful, lifelike drawings from your own photographs. Draw your dog. Or, draw my dog and all it's shedding fur that covers the floor at home.

The Political Zoo by Michael Savage. An older book but I had a customer request. I also pre-ordered the author's upcoming book which releases this fall.

Rough Guide to Paris by Ruth Blackmore and James McConnachie. With photos of summertime fun and pleasantness. As if it never snows or rains in Paris.

The Essential First Year by Penelope Leach. Planning, feeding, kicking, sleeping, etc. This is a DK book so you know it is pretty darn decent.
