Bad Girls by Jan Stradling, 287 pages

 Sassy, brilliant, vicious, cunning, unstable, tough-as-nails—readers will relish these stories of 22 women in history who defied the mainstream boundaries and social mores of their times.

Each gripping story speaks for itself: from Queen Mary I who did ‘what it took’ to protect Catholicism in England, to Madame Mao who became one of communist China’s most powerful and feared leaders, to Georgia Tann who, as a director of the Tennessee Children’s Home, made millions selling babies on the black market.

Some of these women were cruel, others visionary, yet others blinded by ambition or love. All were driven by a powerful combination of primal forces.

Doris Day: Her Own Story by A. E. Hotchner, 294 pages

 Biography of Doris Day with 36 pages of photographs and filmography. This unusual collaboration in the form of an autobiography brings together a highly skilled professional writer and the film superstar who never enjoyed being thought of as Miss Goody Two-shoes. For the first time, Doris Day tells the story behind the headlines of her private life- three marriages, real and rumored affairs, and professional triumphs countered by personal tragedies. At thirteen Doris was in a car hit by a train, and for a while she expected to be crippled for life. At sixteen she was earning her living on the road signing with bands. At seventeen she married a man who turned out to be a psychopathic sadist. She talks of many other things she never told anyone before, and her book is as compelling as it is honest. Mr. Hotchner, the author of Papa Hemingway: A Personal Memoir, has enriched her story with candid interviews with her son, Terry Melcher; her mother, her friends, and many of the people she has worked with including Bob Hope, James Garner, and Jack Lemmon. In this perceptive book, "the girl next door" turns out to be an inspiring woman of unique courage and strength.

Whiskers and Wishes by Elayne Griffith, 154 pages

 Kamod, a powerful djinn, has lost faith in magic. After centuries of granting wishes that have only deepened people’s unhappiness, he longs for the freedom to genuinely help others. In desperation, he turns to an ancient legend claiming that a truly content person could release him from servitude. But to find them, he’ll have to step out of hiding and into the world once more.

Joined by loyal, furry companions—his yakaroo who loves turnips, and a lost cat in need of a home—Kamod sets off in his caravan across the quaint countryside of the Blisswile Isles, hoping to fulfill his own unlikely wish.

What he doesn’t expect to gain along the way is a circle of quirky friends, including a wise goblin monk, a mischievous imp, and a dwarf with a passion for dragons. Unfortunately, finding that happy person proves to be more mythical than a flying turtle. Although, sometimes, when one feels most powerless, wishes come true in unexpected ways.
