I don’t think Heather understands what it means to be broody. She is spending all of her time sitting in the nest-box, but she is also still laying eggs. Unless she is not broody, but still sad from Naughty’s passing. I really don’t want to speak of that much because it was very hard to take. In fact I am a bit surprised that I am saying anything about it now. I will say she went quietly. My concern now is my sweet Heather. I always get a little grumpy when my sweet ladies go broody because it means less eggs, but now with the new additions I have plenty to eat. Knowing that we would have rain off and on, I put Heather on the opposite side of the yard, forcing her to stretch her legs a bit and maybe grab a few bits to eat on her way to the nest box. That was just about the saddest stroll I have ever seen. She didn’t even look at the fresh grass or delicious flowers. Not a bug was terrorized. I am going to have to bring out the big guns on this one… Crickets!

Esther Weaver
Genre: Religious & Inspirational Fiction | Romance | Religion & Spirituality
FREE for a limited time
Rumspringa is meant to be a time of exploring the ways of the Englischers, and making decisions about her future. But for Catelyn, there’s only one factor that matters: David. She met him early on into her rumspringa, and he very quickly became the sole focus of it, however much that may bother Luke, the elder of the two Amish brothers that were placed at the same host family for their own rumspringas. But when the decisions that she makes because of what she feels for him — and what she believes he feels for her — begin to fall apart and wreak havoc with the way her life was supposed to turn out, she has to re-evaluate. Maybe the lessons she’s going to learn from rumspringa are very different from the ones she had in mind…

Amari Prokop murdered her first victim at age eight… She acquired her own starship at twenty-four… She started smuggling people from Earth to the freedom on Europa for a price, but found that blackmail and murder paid much better.

Now on her last job, all she has to do was kidnap Cloee Thompson from a government transport ship and hold her until Amari’s employer was ready to take her.

With his partner Marlie, they began the chase across the stars. Can Amari escape Colin and the ISSF? Will she get her freedom? Who will steal Amari’s heart? Why is Cloee Thompson so important?

History Bytes: 37 People, Places, and Events that Shaped American History
Nick Vulich
Genre: History
FREE for a limited time
Don’t like history? You’re probably reading the wrong books. Read this book, and you’re gonna think, wow! Why didn’t somebody tell me that? American history is full of strange paradoxes, and that’s what makes it so interesting. The truth is much of what we learn about history is a series of little white lies that over time have grown into tall tales. • Why doesn’t everyone know the Boston Massacre wasn’t really a massacre? Subsequent testimony proved the soldiers fired in self-defense. The King Street riot was started by a group of four street thugs who got their rocks off attacking lone British soldiers. Sam Adams and Paul Revere twisted it into a massacre. • And, if you think the Boston Tea Party was a response to British taxes that raised the price of tea in the colonies, think again. The Tea Act of 1773 actually reduced the price of tea paid by the colonists. The people hurt by the Tea Act were the smugglers. The lower price of tea undercut their business, and ensured that the East India Company would have a monopoly on tea. • The South Carolina Nullification Congress of 1832 was a harbinger of things to come. The question was if a state disagrees with a federal law, does it have the right to nullify it, and disregard that law? Vice-president John C. Calhoun argued state’s rights superseded federal laws. President Andrew Jackson believed to his dying day that Calhoun was a damned traitor, and that he should have strung him up from the nearest branch. • The Black Hawk War was a mix-up of frontier madness, mayhem, and murder. Illinois Governor John Reynolds called out the militia and raised thousands of volunteer troops. General Winfield Scott marched his regulars half way across the country to Fort Armstrong at Rock Island. Lieutenant Colonel Zachary Taylor led a group of infantrymen in the fighting. In the end, it was a massacre that nearly wiped out the Sac tribe. • In the fall of 1845 President Polk offered Mexico five million dollars if they would recognize the Southwestern Boundary of Texas at the Rio Grande. When Mexico refused his offer Polk decided to force the issue. He sent General Zachary Taylor and 3,000 troops to Corpus Christi, Texas. In March of 1846 General Taylor moved his forces into the disputed territory between the Rio Grande and Nueces Rivers. Soon after that, Mexico was provoked into a war with the United States. • It has been said that James Buchanan was a “weak, timid, old man” who didn’t do anything to prevent the Southern states from seceding. Some historians have even gone so far as to declare Buchanan was an “accessory after the fact.” He was a president, Southern sympathizer, and traitor. But, was he? • Imagine what it would be like to wake up, flip on the morning news, and discover Bradley Cooper or Ashton Kutcher assassinated President Obama. That’s what happened in 1865. People were shocked when they learned John Wilkes Booth killed President Lincoln. Booth was one of the most popular actors of his day. He was young, just twenty-six years old, considered one of the most attractive men in America. At the time he killed Lincoln, Booth was pulling down $20,000 a year as an actor (that’s roughly $300,000 in 2015 money). And, yet — he sacrificed it all for his political beliefs. What was going on in the mind of John Wilkes Booth? I could tell you more, but you get the idea. Things aren’t always what they appear to be. There are two sides to every story. All that stuff your teacher told you in school — it may, or may not be true. Read this book, and decide for yourself which version you should believe.
