Skinny or Not, Here I Come is part memoir, part self-help book. It is a true story detailing the inner thoughts of a young girl with an eating disorder and how these thoughts evolved into her adulthood. The author describes all of her many different experiences with counseling and the life events that fueled her eating disorder. She outlines the strategies, belief systems (including Christian faith), and motivating factors that helped her to finally begin a journey of recovery.

We live in a world where beauty is everything. Society tells us that if we just looked a certain way, if we had the right products, if we were skinny enough, then we would be enough —we would have value. Society is wrong, but it took Katie H. Willcox years to understand this: “Over the course of my 30 short years, I have both worked as a professional model and been the exact opposite of our culture’s beauty ideal. I have struggled with my weight and felt like I didn’t and never would fit in. Then I had a powerful realization: my misery and self-loathing didn’t change with my weight or how ‘pretty’ society thought I was, so my looks weren’t the source of happiness and worth that I had believed them to be. But then, what was? And how had I come to invest so much of myself in beliefs that were so untrue?” In these pages, Katie shares the lessons she learned in her journey to find the answers to these questions. She reveals who gains from our feeling small and why we need to examine the messages we receive from our culture and our families. She explains how we can redefine beauty, make healthy the new “skinny,” and harness the power of our thoughts to choose self-love. Katie encourages us to discover our true magnificent selves, find our purpose, and pursue our dreams —and help others to do the same. Join the movement!

In this irresistible collection of wide-ranging and endearingly personal columns culled from his best-loved pieces in Southern Living and Garden & Gun, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Rick Bragg muses on everything from his love of Tupperware to the decline of country music; from the legacy of Harper Lee to the metamorphosis of the pickup truck; and from the best way to kill fire ants to why any self-respecting Southern man worth his salt should carry a good knife. An ode to the stories and the history of the South, crackling with tenderness, wit, and deep affection, Where I Come From celebrates “a litany of great talkers, blue-green waters, deep casseroles, kitchen-sink permanents, lying fishermen, haunted mansions, and dogs that never die, things that make this place more than a dotted line on a map or a long-ago failed rebellion, even if only in some cold-weather dream.” Evoking the beauty and the odd particularity of humble origins, Bragg's searching vision, generous humor, and richly nuanced voice bring a place, a people, and a world vividly to life.

“Clarence is gone!” Christine cried, wringing her hands. “Becky has been looking for him, and he’s disappeared!” “Are you sure he’s not somewhere around?” asked Skinny. “He really is gone,” said a very white and trembling Becky, “and it looks like he was killed!” “I’ll go see,” said Skinny, and ran toward the place where Clarence had been chopping their wood supply.

Angel’s aren’t supposed to wield emotion … … and they’re definitely not supposed to fall in love. As commander of Heaven’s elite forces, Archangel Zandraziel learned to keep his emotions hidden. But he couldn’t help questioning some of the Council’s actions, thus earning himself the task of patrolling the fallen in the fifty-two realms. His job? Eliminate any who join Satan and Lucifer in darkness. It wouldn’t be easy, but Zandraziel was a warrior, so how hard could it be?

Until he meets his sexy neighbor. Zander resists the instant attraction. Chloe’s human and his world is dangerous—a new foe has arisen. But as he prepares for this latest threat, it soon becomes clear that there may be more to Chloe than he first believed.

Get it now and join Zander and his quirky family in this dark, magical romance full of twists and turns that'll leave you craving more. *Can be read as a standalone. If you like dark, paranormal fantasy romance filled with Angels, Fallen, dragons, wolves, vampires, and crazy deranged villains, with deep complex worlds similar to those of Larissa Ione's Demonica & Lords of Deliverance, J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Gena Showalter, Lara Adrian, Nalini Singh, Christine Feehan, Faith Hunter, and Patricia Briggs then you'll love the Dracones. "...all the drama of Heaven and Hell and the sweet second chances. This series keeps getting better and better. If you like epic story-telling, this series is for you. The author writes such compelling stories you get involved in the characters and their lives....This book is exceptional." "I LOVE this series. Dragons, Archangels, good guys, bad guys and the ones they love... all play a role in making this series a spectacular read. The world building is addictively familiar, but not. The characters are well thought out, developed and show an amazing propensity to evolve. Ms. Marean is extremely skilled at weaving an emotional rollercoaster ride of a story. I laughed (a lot!), cried (get a box of tissues ready!), cheered, hissed, wanted to reach in an shake a couple of characters and fell in love over and over. This book contains enough backstory and focused resolution to be read as stand alone, but why!?! You're going to want to read this series from start to finish. I devoured this book and wanted more. There is a sign of a great book... you get to the last page and scream "Noooooooooooo! I want more!" If you love reading JR Ward, Patricia Briggs, Gena Showalter or Deborah Cooke, you need to add Sheri-Lynn Marean to your "Next to be loved list."
