Whips and Spurs and Murder
An epic kind of year There were times when I made truly bad choices in life, moments when I knew better but I just couldn’t seem to help myself. You know what I mean, right? How logic and common sense seem to diverge with the powerful urge to act despite the innate understanding such actions will likely get you into a world of trouble and may not, in the end, be worth it? And, despite knowing all that, no matter how much you work to convince yourself some things are better left undone, let go, abandoned you just can’t seem to allow yourself the freedom to be a good, normal person and simply mind your own business. Wait. Was that just me? Sigh. Yeah. Just me. Okay then. Fiona Fleming’s ...
Shotgun Bride
One ranch. Three sons. Only one will inherit, and on one condition. In the second novel in the New York Times bestselling McKettrick Cowboys trilogy, Kade McKettrick is determined not to lose to his brother in the marriage race—but he hadn’t counted on falling in love. Kade McKettrick’s got five mail order brides-to-be at the local hotel, and they’re all more than eager to brave the frontier and provide the heir that will win Kade the Triple M ranch. The newly appointed marshal already has his hands full with a troublesome outlaw gang, yet he can’t seem to think of much else besides “Sister Mandy” who is obviously not the nun she claims to be. On the run from her outlaw stepfather, Mandy Sperrin is hiding a wild, passionate nature beneath her solemn disguise, and when Kade makes it clear he wants her, she finds she cannot resist her own heated desires. But are her ties to a shadowed past more threatening—and closer—than Kade realizes?

Bound to Happen
The women in her family have a history of falling in love with ghosts. Aoife’s positive she’s the exception to the rule. She’s wrong. Aoife ‘Fee’ Gowdie is exploring a derelict London music hall when she discovers a seventeenth century theatre below. The problem? It’s got a seventeenth century ghost in it. And he has a pet—Fee’s mouse, the one she buried that morning. Gilbert ‘Gil’ Sorley—orphan, thief, actor, playwright—was born in 1613 and died… The jury’s still out on that. He remembers the moment. The fight, the blade, the blood. It’s been a gray wasteland since then. Until the miracle of her. And the mouse. The old theatre has protected Gil for centuries, but now it’s slated for demolition. To stop time and death, Fee and Gil have nothing except desperate, impossible love. Is it enough? BOUND TO HAPPEN by Annie R McEwen is perfect for fans of Discovery of Witches and Practical Magic, the A Stitch in Time books, Ghost, and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
The Art of Cloth in Mughal India
"When a rich man in seventeenth-century South Asia enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep, he imagined himself enveloped in a velvet sleep. In the poetic imagination of the time, the fine dew of early evening was like a thin cotton cloth from Bengal, and woolen shawls of downy pashmina sent by the Mughal emperors to their trusted noblemen approximated the soft hand of the ruler on the vassal's shoulder. Textiles in seventeenth-century South Asia represented more than cloth to their makers and users. They simulated sensory experience, from natural, environmental conditions to intimate, personal touch. The Art of Cloth in Mughal India is the first art historical account of South Asian textiles from ...
The Grace of Four Moons
Because clothing, food, and shelter are basic human needs, they provide excellent entries to cultural values and individual aesthetics. Everyone gets dressed every day, but body art has not received the attention it deserves as the most common and universal of material expressions of culture. The Grace of Four Moons aims to document the clothing decisions made by ordinary people in their everyday lives. Based on fieldwork conducted primarily in the city of Banaras, India, Pravina Shukla conceptualizes and realizes a total model for the study of body art—understood as all aesthetic modifications and supplementations to the body. Shukla urges the study of the entire process of body art, from the assembly of raw materials and the manufacture of objects, through their sale and the interactions between merchants and consumers, to the consumer's use of objects in creating personal decoration.
