Adam Carolla - In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks
In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks is Adam's comedic gospel of modern America. He rips into the absurdity of the culture that demonized the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, turned the nation's bathrooms into a lawless free-for-all of urine and fecal matter, and put its citizens at the mercy of a bunch of minimum wagers with axes to grind. Peppered between complaints Carolla shares candid anecdotes from his day to day life as well as his past—Sunday football at Jimmy Kimmel's house, his attempts to raise his kids in a society that he mostly disagrees with, his big showbiz break, and much, much more. Brilliantly showcasing Adam's spot-on sense of humor.
The first dual biography of two of the world's most remarkable women--Elizabeth I of England and Mary Queen of Scots--by one of Britain's "best biographers" (The Sunday times).
Eleven-year-old Marty Preston loves to spend time up in the hills behind his home near Friendly, West Virginia. Sometimes he takes his .22 rifle to see what he can shoot, like some cans lined up on a rail fence. Other times he goes up early in the morning just to sit and watch the fox and deer. But one summer Sunday, Marty comes across something different on the road just past the old Shiloh schoolhouses -- a young beagle -- and the trouble begins. Reuploaded Thanks to Kahena

Rob Chesney might have fooled Ellie Engleman into thinking he is a woman, but no one, not even Ellie's boyfriend, NYPD homicide detective Sam Ryder, can convince Ellie that Rob is a killer. Still, the evidence against Rob is quite damning. Not only did the police find him standing over the body of fellow drag queen Carmella Sunday, but the rumor backstage is that Carmella was gunning for Rob's spot in the show. The only witness to the murder is Rob's dog Bitsy, but the poor thing is so traumatized Ellie can't get a word out of her.
