36 is now my least favorite number. I was determined to blow all 36 eggs in one sitting and to complete my idea of naturally dying eggs this year. I have to report that it was a pretty miserable experience. Hunched over a sink for an hour and a half, blowing eggs, and cleaning them while very unpleasant smelling Turmeric and red cabbage simmered on the stove. To my horror I realized after I had the dye in the containers the now hollow eggs floated and I had to fill each egg with water. This afternoon I will wash them out and let everyone know how they turned out.

Dark Moonlighting (Volume 1)
Scott Haworth
4.4 Stars (162 Reviews)
Genre: Horror | Fantasy

FREE for a limited time

Nick Whittier, having been alive for six centuries, has had plenty of time to master three professions. In a typical week he works as a police officer, lawyer and doctor and still finds time to murder someone and drink their blood. He used to feel guilty about the killings, but now he restricts himself to only eating the worst members of society. Few people in Starside, Illinois seem to care about the untimely deaths of spam e-mailers, pushy Jehovah Witnesses and politicians. However, the barriers between Nick’s three secret lives start to crumble when a mysterious man from his past arrives in town seeking revenge. Nick must move quickly to prevent the three women in his life, and the authorities who are hunting him, from discovering his terrible secret.

Dark Moonlighting is the first book in the humorous series. It explores four of the biggest cliches in popular culture, and it pokes fun at a number of popular television shows including Law & Order, Bones and House. It also takes a more realistic and amusing approach to the vampire cliche. For example, the average human has the equivalent of five Big Gulps worth of blood in their body. Nick takes twenty minutes to kill someone and, like the vampire bat, must immediately urinate afterwards.

The Dark Moonlighting Series:

  • Dark Moonlighting
  • Dark Moonlighting 2: Kruse Control
  • Dark Moonlighting 3: Live Free or Dark Moonlighting Hard
  • Dark Moonlighting 4: The One with the Whales
  • Dark Moonlighting 5: Electric Dark Moonlightingaloo

Ramblers: Loyola Chicago 1963.The Team that Changed the Color of College Basketball
Michael Lenehan
4.8 Stars (14 Reviews)
Genre: Politics & Social Sciences | Sports & Outdoors

FREE for a limited time

Today basketball is played “above the rim” by athletes of all backgrounds and colors. But 50 years ago it was a floor-bound game, and the opportunities it offered for African-Americans were severely limited.

A key turning point was 1963, when the Loyola Ramblers of Chicago took the NCAA men’s basketball title from Cincinnati, the two-time defending champions. It was one of Chicago’s most memorable sports victories, but Ramblers reveals it was also a game for the history books because of the transgressive lineups fielded by both teams.

Ramblers is an entertaining, detail-rich look back at the unlikely circumstances that led to Loyola’s historic championship and the stories of two Loyola opponents: Cincinnati and Mississippi State. Michael Lenehan’s narrative masterfully intertwines these stories in dramatic fashion, culminating with the tournament’s final game, a come-from-behind overtime upset that featured two buzzer-beating shots.

While on the surface this is a book about basketball, it goes deeper to illuminate how sport in America both typifies and drives change in the broader culture. The stark social realities of the times are brought vividly to life in Lenehan’s telling, illustrating the challenges faced in teams’ efforts simply to play their game against the worthiest opponents.
