Learning Right from Wong, Wrong, Woke, Left
Written with a hint of 'larrikinism' this book discusses the raging battle between left and right that has engulfed the free world. In a technology-driven world, being time poor and confronting massive rises in the cost of living, society has been pounded into submission by three life-changing events simultaneously. Climate change, the covid-19 pandemic and the death of George Floyd have taken the world and its globilised village to the edge of a precipice. Should it topple over due to an economic collapse or the rise of China, life as we know it will be irreversibly changed. How we deal with this calamity before us all, depends on our individual knowledge of and respect for socialism and capitalism. There has never been a more important time to know the differences between left and right, how these features got us to today, and how they can help us tomorrow. If the task before humankind all wasn't hard enough, we all have to contend with wokeness and a derangement within certain sections of the community. Who said "life wasn't meant to be easy."

O
After skyrocketing to fame with their hit single "Uh Huh," B2K seemed to have it all. But barely two years later the four friends succumbed to a rift so deep that three of them stopped showing up for sold-out shows. Lead singer Omari Grandberry was left with the intimidating prospect of facing their fans alone. In this intimate memoir, Omarion chronicles his Los Angeles childhood, how B2K came together, the ups and downs of instant brotherhood, the struggles of making it in entertainment, what really happened in the final days of B2K, and what's next for him -- including starring in the Fat Albert movie, and more. Here is the story of a boy with the gift of song and dance raised in some of L.A.'s toughest neighborhoods, and how he ditched his "underage thug" complex to pursue his dream. Along the way, Omarion shares a more personal side, including his deep respect for the women who raised him and the roots of his spiritual foundation. In O, he once again takes center stage, revealing himself to be a thoughtful, funny, multifaceted artist with the talent and drive to make it on his own.
Proposal from Hell
Brielle St. James, star of a popular reality show, just might enjoy the spotlight and attention a little too much. She makes no excuses about who she is, what she likes, or what she feels she deserves. A man who wants to be with her will bend because Brielle refuses to, not even a little. Especially if that man happens to be a deadly, gorgeous, anal-retentive, bodyguard, whose smile makes her want to act totally out of character and do whatever he asks. Justin Jian guarded the princess of reality television as a favor to a friend. But he already had an almost irrational urge to protect her at all costs, spurred by the haunted look in her eyes on their first encounter. He also had an almost i...
