We three queens / by Bowen, Rhys,author.;
"New mother Lady Georgiana Rannoch finds herself trying to separate fact from fiction when a murder occurs during the filming of a splashy historical drama on the grounds of her estate ... My darling little James Albert has finally arrived, and I am enjoying every moment of being a new mother. Well, there are certainly many dirty nappies to be changed, and I may be somewhat sleep deprived, but I am utterly content, especially now that my husband, Darcy, won't be traveling quite so much for his very secret government work. Everything is going swimmingly until Darcy is summoned to a private meeting with my cousin, who happens to be King Edward VIII. The king is in turmoil and wants desperately to marry the scandalously divorced and even more scandalously American Wallis Simpson. Darcy tries to convince Edward that his duty to his people must come first, but my besotted cousin is having none of it. Much to my shock and horror, he asks Darcy and I to hide Mrs. Simpson here at Eynsleigh while he figures out what to do. I will admit freely that I don't love the idea of the judgmental, aloof Mrs. Simpson coming to stay with us, but we can hardly refuse the king. Surely she won't stay very long, and then things can get back to normal. But I soon discover that Sir Hubert, the owner of Eynsleigh, has just given a film crew permission to shoot a motion picture about Henry the Eighth and Anne Boleyn on the grounds. Trying to keep Mrs. Simpson hidden while entertaining these Hollywood transplants is much more than I bargained for. And when the young star of the show goes missing and another is found dead, my once quiet home is in complete disarray. Of course, no crisis would be complete without my never pleasant sister-in-law, Fig, who decides now would be a perfect time to visit with Binky and their two children. I know I will need to keep my wits about me to rescue my household from the brink of madness, all while searching for a missing person, solving a murder, and stopping a scandal of royal proportions ...

It rhymes with Takei [graphic novel] / by Takei, George,1937-author.; Becker, Harmony,illustrator.; Eisinger, Justin,author.; Scott, Steven(Comics author),author.;
"George Takei has shown the world many faces: actor, author, outspoken activist, helmsman of the starship Enterprise, living witness to the internment of Japanese Americans, and king of social media. But until October 27, 2005, there was always one piece missing--one face he did not show the world. There was one very intimate fact about George that he never shared ... and it rhymes with Takei. Now, for the first time ever, George shares the full story of his life in the closet, his decision to come out as gay at the age of 68, and the way that moment transformed everything. Following the phenomenal success of his first graphic memoir, They Called Us Enemy, George Takei reunites with the team of Harmony Becker, Steven Scott, and Justin Eisinger for a jaw-dropping new testament. From his earliest childhood crushes and youthful experiments in the rigidly conformist 1950s, to global fame as an actor and the terrible fear of exposure, to the watershed moment of speaking his truth and becoming one of the most high-profile gay men on the planet, It Rhymes with Takei offers a sweeping portrait of one iconic American navigating the tides of LGBTQ+ history. Combining historical context with intimate subjectivity, It Rhymes with Takei shows how the personal and the political have always been intertwined. Its richly emotional words and images depict the terror of entrapment even in gay community spaces, the anguish of speaking up for so many issues while remaining silent on his most personal issue, the grief of losing friends to AIDS, the joy of finding true love with Brad Altman, and the determination to declare that love openly--and legally--before the whole world. Looking back on his astonishing life on both sides of the closet door, George Takei presents a charismatic and candid account of how far America has come ... and how precious that progress is."--Publisher.
