Famous Five - Book 11: Five Have A Wonderful Time
The Famous Five are having a brilliant time—on holiday in horse-drawn caravans—and they've discovered a ruined castle nearby! The castle looked deserted from a distance, but is that a face at the window? Or is it a trick of the light? Just who is hiding in the castle?
In Murder on the Reservation, Ray B. Browne surveys the work of several of the best-known writers of crime fiction involving Indian characters and references virtually every book that qualifies as an Indian-related mystery. Browne believes that within the genre of crime fiction all people are equal, and the increasing role of Indian characters in criminal fiction proves what an important role this genre plays as a powerful democratizing force in American society.

The Romantic Guide to Popping the Question
The Romantic's Guide to Popping the Question is based on a contest which Michael Webb did. He asked people to send him their proposal ideas and offered a vacation to the person with the most original and creative idea. The offers poured in and he took the 101 best ideas and made a digital book out of them. This is the Romantic's guide to Popping the Question. By the way, the amazing thing was that the proposal which eventually won the competition cost around 20 dollars to make, which makes it clear that as far as proposals go, expensive doesn't necessarily mean better.
