Why fear the Vampire Queen when I'm my own worst enemy? Most people avoid trouble at all costs, but I seem to be seeking it out. While the rest of the team is content to let Holland keep building her army while we essentially do nothing, I'm determined to track her down. But I can't do that unless I can find a way to enhance my powers. When that opportunity presents itself, I know I shouldn't take the risk--it's going against orders and will break my poor mother's heart. Do you think that'll stop me? My name is Cassidy Findley, and this is my life as a teenage Vampire Hunter. The Chronicles...

The most famous man of the Middle Ages was probably Charlemagne, and few would argue that he was also the most important man during those centuries. When Charlemagne became king of the Franks, he proceeded to create one of the largest European empires since the collapse of Rome. Through his conquests across Western Europe and Italy, Charlemagne became the first holy Roman emperor after a famous imperial coronation by Pope Leo III.

There are some mistakes in life you can never recover from…. Have you ever wanted something so badly, you’d do almost anything to get it? That’s how I feel about becoming a Vampire Hunter. It’s in my blood. And even though I’m technically not old enough to go through the transformation process, I am ready to fulfill my destiny—one way or another. Unfortunately, going behind my sister and her established team of Vampire Hunters’ backs and inserting myself into a dangerous situation doesn’t go as planned, and before I know it, I’m no longer a would-be hunter; I’m the prey....

Are you in need of a way to be kinder, more caring and truly loving to yourself? Do you want to find a way to meet your needs, no matter how deep they may be right now? If you’re someone who thinks the worst of yourself at every opportunity, the chances are that there is an imbalance deep within yourself. This is nothing to be ashamed of, or to shy away from; it just means that with a little extra internal work you can set yourself free in a way that few people on this earth ever manage to. The problem is that finding a way to make this happen can feel virtually impossible when you’re ...

Genghis Khan is one of history's greatest and most famous conquerors. No man, before or since, has ever started with so little and gone on to achieve so much. From a noble family, but raised in poverty that drove him to the brink of starvation, Genghis Khan rose to control the second-largest empire the world has ever known. Genghis Khan was not a peaceful man, nor a particularly merciful one, but the image of him as a bloodthirsty barbarian is largely the result of hostile propaganda; he was far more complex.

The Roman Empire crumbled, and nothing could replace it. People groups shifted all over the continent: the Byzantines came after the Visigoths, the Saxons clashed with the Celts, and the Vikings pillaged everyone. Eventually, feudalism emerged and brought with it knights in shining armor and long lines of monarchs.

Wadjda has one simple wish: to race her friend Abdullah on her very own bicycle. But in Saudi Arabia, it is considered improper for girls to ride bikes, and her parents forbid her from having one. Sick of playing by the rules, Wadjda schemes different ways to make money and buy the bike herself. But freedom comes at a high price.... Set against the shifting social attitudes of the Middle East, The Green Bicycle explores gender roles, conformity, and the importance of family, all with wit and irresistible heart.

Death is a stalker, preying on the ones I love, and even my superpowers aren't strong enough to stop it. All I wanted was to help the people suffering in Eastern Europe. With the Vampire Queen gone, Daunator was laying claim to the area, taking as many people as he could get. Unfortunately, the Leaders were still on their honeymoon, and no one else on the team wanted to do anything about it. Except for Christian--my nemesis. But when he found himself in a really bad situation, it was up to me to save him--before it was too late. I had no idea trying to save someone I hate would jeopardize ...

If you found a cougar lounging in your living room, would you run? Or would you hang out with it peacefully? The way you answer this question may be the difference between being generally happy or generally miserable. How do you find happiness in your current life? It’s a choice, and it starts with you. You taking care of yourself. You doing the work. You trying something and if what you try doesn’t work, trying something else. Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential. Forget trite self-help advice about bubble baths and smiling, this is self-care for the real world. “What to Do If...
