Paperbacks & Baguettes: Stories Between Us

Some places hold you longer than you expect. Paperbacks & Baguettes unfolds in a bookstore café - paperbacks, coffee, food; early mornings and late closings; regulars who linger and staff who notice what others miss. Exchanges begin to matter: a scarf left loose, a mug still warm, a playlist quietly shared. Closeness forms - not through grand gestures, but through attention. A love story told sideways, shaped by presence rather than plot, and by care rather than drama. It belongs as much to the room and its people as to any single pair. 📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4gIWTuw [https://amzn.to/4gIWTuw]

We the Presidents: How a Century of Presidents from Harding to Trump Forged Today's America

The anniversary edition of We the Presidents, published on July 4, 2026, commemorates the 250th Anniversary of American Independence. The new edition has been extensively updated from the acclaimed first edition to reflect recent events including a new chapter on the Biden presidency and an epilogue covering the first year of Donald Trump's second term. Rather than a traditional presidential history, We the Presidents focuses on how a century of presidents, from Warren G. Harding to Donald J. Trump, have shaped today's America. Many of today's critical issues ─ immigration, inflation, income disparity, civil discord, and wars ─ had their roots in earlier presidencies. Tracing the path from the nineteen-twenties and Warren G. Harding to the controversial presidencies of Joe Biden and Donald Trump, We the Presidents explores the growth of presidential power and the changing role of the executive. With over 140 images and charts, many in color, We the Presidents brings their lessons alive. As one Amazon reviewer commented, "We the Presidents is more than an absorbing read; it is a compelling education on the issues which have shaped the American century up to the present day." 📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4wecSp9 [https://amzn.to/4wecSp9]
