Gar is a cat who loves to play and explore. One day he sees something on Dad's bookshelf that he wants. With his best buddy, his toy mouse, Harold, they will stop at nothing, including danger, to win the greatest object Dad is keeping from them, the forbidden top shelf shiny.
It's been three years since the events of Quasi-Daisy. The world as we know it has changed in a way that shouldn't be possible. Overpopulation is rampant because nobody is dying, even those who were in harrowing and fatal accidents; nuclear explosions, volcanic eruptions. Nothing is killing people. There is only one possible reason. Faith has to be behind it all, even if she is aware of it or not. What sort of chaos ensues, when she finally finds her way back to Earth after spending an eternity slogging through a place that shouldn't exist, but does? New monsters, secret agents, kidnapping, and more.
Pyramid Rising: The Great Pyramid ReconstructedFor centuries the Great Pyramid of Giza has captivated and mystified people from around the world. Who built it? And how did they do it? Pyramid Rising offers an astonishing new theory that answers many of these questions-and much more. What if the Great Pyramid were built from the inside out? Could the openings we call air shafts actually be the remnants of four internal ramps, which aided in the construction of this imposing monument? Might the ancient symbol of the djed, termed the "backbone of Osiris," also represent a grooved wooden roller for a pulley seated on its stand? These are only a few of the surprising new ideas explored in this book, ideas that threaten to upend prevailing theories about the origins of the Great Pyramid as defined by mainstream archeology. The theory outlined in Pyramid Rising evolved from one man's attempt to crawl inside the heads of the original pyramid builders to better understand their train of thought by viewing it through the lens of what is evident inside the pyramid today. Starting from the premise that every shaft, angle, grooved wall, corridor, and quarried block must have had a specific purpose, then employing a process of reverse engineering to deconstruct how those puzzle pieces fit together, the bigger picture gradually came into focus. The book's novel approach precludes the need for massive ramps climbing upward at untenable angles. Rather, it presents evidence that the Egyptians erected the Great Pyramid layer by layer by employing a simple tool-the pulley-and making use of the elements they had already put in place as the springboards for building higher. More than 100 photographs, illustrations, and sidebars illuminate the text as step by step it guides the reader through the entire construction process from the Subterranean Chamber to the summit. Pyramid Rising sheds fresh light on an age-old mystery about one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Mary, a cheerful and studious middle kid from Northern California, encounters a drastic change in her peaceful homelife after her dad moves out. Mary's mom starts chugging beer and brings home Eddy, a stranger from the bar who looks like the Marlboro man. Eddy's two daughters, Summer and Misty move in and steal Mary's clothes, self-confidence, and soon her mom's love. Mary's home soon becomes party central for Eddy's friends who unwittingly teach the household children how to live their worst life. Mary searches for love and comfort in all the wrong places as she figures out how to do life without the help of proper parenting. After miraculously graduating college and overcoming several obstacles, Mary works hard to erase her childhood demons through self-medicating, people pleasing, workaholism and building the American Dream. Unfamiliar with living an ordinary happy life, she becomes miserable and dismantles all that she's built, unconsciously repeating the mistakes of her parents. Mary finally gets the wakeup call she needed. Sitting by her pool, on the verge of divorce and self-destruction, she watches her happy seven-year-old daughter playing and imagines herself at seven, oblivious to what's in store once her dad leaves. She realizes her constant discontentedness, or "somewhere-else-itis" is rooted in her past. She decides to try and get her shit together. She begins to unravel her flawed thought patterns, overcome addictions and seeks to find unmedicated joy in various adventures. She takes up soap making, dancing, roller derby, and finally, self-love. Mary finally realizes life will continue to deliver "crap sandwiches" and she must face them head on rather than medicate. Instead of running away from her past and being ashamed of it, she learns to high five it and thank it for the wisdom.
When the body of well-known and much hated politician Agnes Hunter is found on a gravestone in Wales' largest cemetery, with a gun and a note, her death is ruled suicide.

The official prequel novel to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the hotly anticipated action-adventure game developed by Eidos-Montréal and published by Square Enix. The official prequel novel to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the hotly anticipated action-adventure game developed by Eidos-Montréal and published by Square Enix. Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Racoon and Groot. They’re the Guardians of the Galaxy, turning a tidy profit as heroes for hire—or, they will be if Peter Quill can get his act together. After he botches the most critical part of their latest mission—getting paid—his newly assembled crew is close to ditching him for good. Now he needs a big payday, fast. When an old acquaintance shows up offering a whole lot of units for a field trip to Peter's past, it’s a no-brainer. Twelve years ago, Peter fought the Chitauri alongside the Resistance on Mercury to prevent an invasion of Earth. Now it's time to go back. The old Resistance base has a squatter, and it's up to the Guardians to ‘gently escort' them off the premises… and unmask a wartime traitor while they’re at it. But war is heavy, man, and the Galactic War screwed up each of the Guardians in their own special ways. The brand-new team is barely hanging together, and the mission brings up all kinds of bad memories. It’s make or break time for the Guardians, and they do so love breaking things… Just hopefully not each other.
